How the President Received the News
Comments OF Blaine and His Friends.
President Harrison received the conven-
ton news at the White House, by special
wire. After the vote of South Dakota had
been received, and while every one was
waiting TO hear the vote of Tennessee, the
sounder went ''click, "click, " ''click," and
without attempting to write out the mes
sage the operator repeated excitedly.
Harrison is nominated"
Great excitement followed the announce
ment. "Good, good, /" shouted Mr.. Wanna
maker, and Mr.. Halford darted out of the
room to prevent the message reaching the
President in advance of its official con-
firmation. He said he wanted to avoid "a
flash in the pam" He was, however, too
late, as Mr.. Ihbbott, the Presidents stem
ographer, who had been standing outside
the door, had heard the words and carried
the news to the President before Mr.. Hal
ford could interfere.
He had hardly delivered theI message,
when Mr.. Halford entered the cabinet
room with the official vote Of Texas. which
gave the President a clear majority in the
Convention, and settled all question as to
the nomination. The operator remained
at his instrument to record the votes of the
ttHldiUluB btdteS, DuJ ne no lOnEeT Hul
any company. Everybody else including
a the newspaper men, crowded into the cabi-
I net room and showered congratulations on
| the President.

! shook hands with each. He was cool and
composed, but took no pains to conceal
Ibis intense qualification. The news soon
reached the private part Of the house, and
Mrs. Mckee. Mrs. Dimmick and Mrs.
Parker fastened to the Presidents side.
He received their congratulations in most
affectionate manner.
One of the members of the cabinet sug-
,gested that the President say few words
10 the newspaper men, remarking that
they were extremely anxious to hear from
him. The President hesitated a few min.
utes and then made a short address, He
stood behind his desk. and the cabinet
officers, ladies and newspaper men formed
semi-circle i'll front of him. While his
manner was calm, he showed deep feeling
in his remarks.
