of enthusiasm, but the result demonstrated
that q new era has arrived in national con-
ventions, and the preferences of del
egates can no longer be swayed by the
manifestations of the cheering thousands
in the galleries. At no time did the name
of President Harrison evoke the enthusi-
asm that was called forth by the names of
Blaine and Mckinley. Half dozen con-
ferences were held in the early hours by
the anti-administration leaders to deter
mine what was best to be done. The pro-
ceedings of the convention show the re-
suit of these conferences. 1t was deter
mined to let Blaine remain in the field un-
til the spirit of the convention had been
obtained, and then endeavor to stampede
the convention and nominate Mckinley.
Pennsylvania was the first state to turn
aside against the compromise candidate
ushered forth by the almost solid state of
Ohio, in revolt against Quay, who is. as in
years gone by, prominent figure in ma
tional Republican politics.
The exact effect which Harrison's NOM
ination is to have upon the party will not
be known until the passions of men have
subsided. There is a great deal of bitter
ness tonight, and probably much of this
whether it will be sufficient to endanger
the success of the Republican ticket is a
problem. Chairman Clarkson, ex-Sen-
ator Platt, Fassett, Ex-Governor Fora
ker and others intimate tonight that
their coats are off and they expect to enter
the political field in behalf of the nominee
of the Republican party. John c. New,
who has figured largely in the Harrisonian
councils. is in fine spirits. He said they
had made hard fight. had met skillful
opponents. but had nothing to say against
them. Spooner said:
This has been the most remarkable contest OF
the kind that ever took place in this country,
but the bitter. prolonged contest left but little
animosity behind, and indications are that the
party will be united and win splendid victory.
Conger, of Ohio, said:
Ishould have preferred to see Blaine nomi-
mated, but consider the convention made good
choice and will work to elect the nominee.
Senator Teller said
Colorado believes Blaine would have been a
stronger man, but we are loyal Republicans a2d
will stand by the ticket, and ii Harrison is de-
feated it will be by the men who forced his
nomination.
Shortly before the meeting Of the even
ing session the New York delegation held
