publicans here are ratifying the nomination

The greatest satisfaction over the result at
Minneapolis is expressed; Blaine having
but fraction of the following Of eight

preferred the nomination of Blaine rather
than Harrison, as they regarded Blaine the
easier man 10 beat before the people.
MARYsYILLE, June 10.-The nomination
of Harrison has been received here by the
leading. Republicans. with much enthusiasm,
and tonight national salute was fired in

ruary the sentiment here has been in favor

whether or no. The crowds around the
buletin-bOards cheered when the news was
received here this afternoon.
HELENA, Mont, June iO.-The nomina-

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Newspapers of the Coast Put in a Good
Word for Harrison.

The Newspapers of the Coast Put in Good
Word for Harrison.
NEw YORK, June 1.-THE Tribune:
Merit wins. The people recognize and
gladly reward faithful and effective service.
All efforts Of Jealous friends would have
been Of no avail had not the Republican
millions believed that Harrison deserved
exceptionally their confidence and honor.
Regarding the Presidential nomina-
ton the Tribune says: The distinction was
ct sought and cannot insure more jealous
and loyal support Of the ticket by the Tri-
bune than il would have given to any can
ddate whom the convention ycOuld have
chosen.
The Herald says: When Republicans
are divided by factioDal hostility there is
greater need for harmony among the DEM
oerats. IL Harrison and Blaine see fit to
split one party there is no reason why
Cleveland and Hill should split the other.
IL they would both retire from the race a
Western man would carry New York.
That would mean the inevitable defeat Of
Harrison.
The World: Harrison is a much better
representative of his party's ideas than
Blaine would have been. Blaine has
friends of sianch loyalty and long men,
ories. and the issues between the President
and him left them resentful TO an unusual
degree.
The Times: II the Republicans are des-
tined 10 be successful 1t is better their can
didate should be Harrison than The country
should incur the risk of choosing weaker
or worse man. If Harrison is to be de-
feated the Democrats will at least have the
satisfaction OF contending against an antsg-
onist whom they can respect.
CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Times (D.):
The morning call., 1892-06-11

Last week Blaine threw up the portfolio of
State To-day the chief whom thus he de-
fed calmly attaches him to his car Of
triumph. and without apparent exultation
will use his friends for his mirth-yea, for
his laughter.
The Inter Ocean (Rep.): Blaine and Nc
Kinley, above all others, are names to
kindle the enthusiasm Of the people. But
the convention was not to be lifted and
dashed to earth again by cyclone. The
deliberate Judgment of the country favored
the nomination of Harrison, and that
settled it.
The News-Reeord Independently: The
result is gratifying from standpoint Of
high patriotic sentiment Objection against
Harrison is the outgrowth of the personal
dissatisfaction Of politicians.
The Tribune Republican, says: 1t mat
ters little by what methods Harrison Sc
cured the high honor, or that following in
the Northern States, reinforced by the
strong but impotent contingent from the
South, which cannot aid him in Noyembe
much as it may have done for him in June.
he is the leader. and every true Republican
will rally to his standard with the same
determination that would have been shown
if Blaine had been the standard-bearer.
PHILADELPHIA. June 10.-The Tunes
says: Harrison is a strong candidate. OF
that let those in interest take kindly notice.
Ii be fall in the race it will be because of
weakness of the party's record, and not be-
cause Of weakness of the candidate.
The Inquirer says: The Republican party
never had more reason TO be satisfied with
its prospects than now.
BOsToN, June 10.-The Herald Qnde-
pendent says: We regard it as a fortunate
thing for the country. Harrison has not
been a great President. but he has been
within the limitations of intense partisan
ship and an honest, upright man in Office.

LONDON. June 10. The Times says: The
only surprise is that the result was reached
in one ballot. 1t puts Blaine into a some
what ridiculous position. 1t is not defeat,
but ront We have no reason to be dis
satisfied. Blaine's selection would have
augured badly for the future relations
OF America with England and the outward
world generally. Blaine is an advocate of
an active foreign policy of a troublesome
and offensive type.
The Daily News says: Blaine was badly
beaten. and in the judgment OF our New
York correspondent he will disappear from
American politics.
