On the NomluatiOn OF Harrison ana
Reid.
LONDON, June 1.-The burden Of
the comments OF all the evening papers
on the reconciliation of President Har-
rison and the selection Of Mr.. Reid as
the Republican candidate for Vice Pres
ident is Joy over the defeat OF Mr..
Blaine.
The Pal Mall Gazette says: "Even
those least In sympathy with Mr. Blaine
as a politician may spare a passing re-
gret at the cruel disappointment OF the
man who is the ableSt Republican and
most astute politician IN the United
States"
The Globe says: ''For once the
American cacus was Of real interest to
outsiders, especially England. In view
OF the diSsensions in the Democratic
party, the nominee OF yesterday stands
4 good chance OF being the next Presi-
dent. II was happy thing that the
convention decided overwhelmingly
against the great wire puller whose en-
tire career has been marked with at
tempts TO make party capital out OF for
eign politics"
The St. james Gazette says: "It Is a
matter OF Indifference to Englishmen
which party in America is in power,
since both cadRe for the Irish vote by
occasional rudeness TO Great Britain.
President Harrison. following less
adrOltly Mr.. Blaine's example, carried
braggadOcio 10 absurdity In the Bering
Sea negotiations until 1t was found TO be
in vain, when he dropped it and climbed
down. So much FOR Republican courte-
sy. But almost the last act OF the late
Democratic candidate was TO Insult the
British representatives at Washington. "
The Canadian Press.
TORONTO, ONT, June 1.-THE EN-
pire (chief government organ says:
Ito Canadians the Issue IS not impor-
tant. Whoever the Republican candi-
date may be he would be equally pro-
tectionist and whoever may be the Dem
ocratic candidate u is tolerably safe to
saw be will De as surely hostile to Cana
dian development and BrItish power as
was x-Presldent Cleveland during his
term OF Office, or as President Harrison
has, since that time, proved himself 70
be
The Globe (LiOeral) says: 1T looks
az this distance as II the President owed
something TO the ofiicehoders. There
we're one hundred and forty-iour of
them in the convention, principally
from the Southern States, where the
Republican party is in hopeless minor
ity, and they stuck to him faithfully"
The Globe believes ex-President Cleve-
land will receive the Democratic nomi-
nation, and that his chances for re-elec-
tion are good.
The World Tory says: THE incl
dent Is the death knell OF Mr.. Blaine.
A French View
PARIS, June 1.-THE Temps, COM
menting editorially on the selection OF
the Republican ticket by the Mime
aDolis convention, says: "fhe success
OF Mr.. Harrison indicates that the Re
Dublicans will stand unreservedly and
irrevocably on the basis OF protection,
scarcely tempered by reciprocity and
somewhat misty upon the question OF
bl-metallism. With Mr.. Harrison az 3
candidate it becomes impossible to limit
the growth Of military pensions. II
would be building castles In the air TO
expect serious application Of the alto
