The important question Of the adopt

the next four years, then came up fol
discussion.
DIR. Hitchcock, chairman of the sup.

| charge stated that there were two re-
ports. He advocated the majority re-
port and moved the introduction of the
normal system. He was seconded by
Mr.. G. d. Roberts.
General Mansfield opposed the mo.
tion. He said he was opposed to the
teaching Of music in public schools
above the primary grade, and subse-
quently his opposition became still
more sweeping, because he desired to
be placed on record as antagonistic to
the teaching of music in any form in
the schools.

warmly in support of Mr.. Hitchcock q

Special to the HERALD
WAsHIN GToN, June 10--The news 0
Harrison's nomination was received
with Joy at the White House, disgust by
Blaine's friends, and great complacency
by the Democrats. There is hardly q
Democrat Of standing now in Washing
: ton but believes that Harrison will be
defeated this fall.
There is much talk here regarding
Congressman Geary of California as a
vice-presidential possibility. He is one
of the most popular men in the house,
and many members from different states
are for him. If the California delegation
would go to Chicago united for and ask
ing Gsa.y's nomination, he would be
rejected.
In view Of the disaffection bound to
exist on the coast over Harrison's nomi-
nation, it would be good politics to NOM
mate Gesry. 1t is believed Geary could
carry California, Nevada, Colorado, Mon
tana and Idaho, and his nomination
would give California prominence in
national politics which she never had
before. It would also assure Demo
cratic Legislature in California and the
consequent election Of Hon. Stephen M.
White to the United States senate.

The president then excused the SER
wants, and the visitors departed.
The president himself impaired the
information to Mrs. Harrison, and it
acted upon her like tonic, and che is
brighter and more cheerful than she has
been for sevefal days.
The president afterward went for a
drive.
All the members OF congress in the
city and a large number of other per-
sons called at the White House this
evening to congratulate the president.
The number finally became so great
that the east room was illuminated and
thrown open and the president held an
informal reception.
Early in the evening the president re-
ceived from Wbiteiaw Reid, who was at
Opbir farm, Weatchester county, New
York, the following: ''PIesse accept
my warmest congratulations on the
triumph won by sheer force of merit"
Later in the evening, after the receipt
OF bulletin announcing that Mr.. Reid
had been named as the convention's e
choice for vice-president, Mr.. Harrison
sent the following telegram:
Hon. whitelaw Reid, Ophir Farm, westchester
county:
Thanks for your cordial congratula-
tions. l am most happy to be able to
express my sincere satisfaction that the

dent. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

HELENA, Mont, June 10.-The re-
nomination of Harrison is received here
With great rejoicing. The Office of the
Journal, Russell Harrison's paper, was
surrounded by anxious crowds during
the count of the vote, and cheered as
each bulletin was posted up. When the
result was announced, the cheering was
accompanied by blasts from multitude
of tin horns, while the crowds stood in
the street in the rain. Harrison e
victory was celebrated tonight, with
fireworks and q general jollifcation.
The Journal will say editorially in the
morning: "The denomination Of Presi-
dent Harrison is a triumph of the rank
and file of the Republican party over a
combination of disgruntled politicians.
1t is the triumph of the clean, conserva-
tive business interests of the country
over an unwelcome attempt to make
merchandise of politics. In short, it is
the redemption of the country from a
threatened era of personal politics, and
means the substitution of industrial
progress for pyrotechnic posturing."
