M1NSEApoL1s. June 12,-Gen. James W.
Hustled is now tho only New York Republican
in town. He has had n miserable time. His
sickness deprived him Of taking part in the
battle. and any one who has seen the Bald
Eagle OF Westchcstcr at n National Conven-
ton OF his party will readily appreciate his
disappointment. He said to-day that he be-
lieved that he would be we'll enough to start
for home tomorrow.
Tho few remaining political sharps have dis
cussed tho Presidents nomination in all its
phases. Thoy have dono this calmly. Some
of their reflections and several incidents which
occurred during tho great battle are worth re-
cording. 1t is painful to say 30. but now that
the Convention has acted II Ia necessary to re-
cord the conclusions OF these thinkers. and
they are all to the effect that the Convention.
even in its vote. did not represent the majority
sentiment OF tho Republicans. or that vote
Harrison received 535 1-U: necessary for
choice. 453. Texas swung in twen-
ty-two votes, and thus made the
nomination OF the President certain. Gov
Mckinley was compelled to withdraw his mo-
ton at that point to make the nomination by
reclamation. Tho delegates from tho remain
ing States declared that they wanted their
vote recorded. In spite OF the fact that the
President was already nominated by tho Texas
vote. Virginia. Washington. Wisconsin. Wyo-
ming. Arizona. and the District OF Columbia
threw votes in opposition to the President.
This is considered remarkable feature OF the
proceedings.
Tho Republicans are dissectlng the vote OF
535 1-6 given for tho President. They start
with Alabama. which threw 10 votes for Hnrri-
son. and point out that Harrison lost tho State

him 10 votes on Friday. was lost to him four
years ago by 27.21O: California. which gave

II IL thus apparent. say the experts when
looking over these figures. that the rrcsl-
dents nomination was in opposition to the
wishes OF "A majority Of the delegates repre-

in his renominntion, The remaining 40 votes
came from among the great Republican and

that the President had no right to force his
nomination by the methods used hers, but
that for his pnrty's sake. he should have re-
garded the formida bio opposition to him. That
there is trouble ahead for him almost every
Republican OF note now apprehends.
