pared several days ago. When it became a GER
tainty shortly after clock that the president
had won, with his paper in his hand, Russell.
Harrison led the way for a party Of enthusiastic
cabinet ministers and representa- tiveS Of the
press into the presidents Office just across tn.
hall from the telegraph room of the white
house. Looking up from his desk at the in
truders the president made no effort to conceal
his qualification at such an invasion, if he
had already surmised what their mission was.
Congratulations we're in order for few Sec

his visitors in the following language:
II can only Say with reference to this event
that has brought you here that the first thought
that fills my mind is one of gratitude and
thanks to the great multitude OF friends who
have in this way and divers other ways ex-
pressed approval of my conscientious, though
possibly now and then mistaken. attempts to
serve the country upon republican lines
l cllim no other credit than that OF
having attempted without sparing my
self to labor to discharge these public
duties conscicntiously, cannot expect my dem
ocratic friends to think on right lines and yet
it has been very gratifying to me to know that
many things have secured the approval of my
political opponents. Ihave been filed with the
thought that this country coming to an
epoch when the flag and those things that it
symholizcs will be on still higher plane than
now, and When our influence among the powers
of the earth will be enlarged wisely and yet en-
crgetically.
II have sincere love for all our people. l
exclude no section 1 take into affection and re-
spect all the states and all our people. In enter
Ing upon this campaign shall do so without
malice towards anyone. think l have some
times been suspected of being very little of a
politician from the fact that l have never
drawn inside my party personal lines.
have tried to treat everyone with that re-
spect to which his station en-
titled him. and l have never in any
case suggested much less demanded, personal
loyalty from everybody 1 have asked of all
public officials faithful performance of their
duty have felt that was unable TO find a
suitable place for every deserving friend, but
have insisted that did not disparage those I
could not appoint to place. AS have had light
and strength 1 have tried to discharge my
duties for the public good.
Il thank you all for many evidences Of YOUR
Kindness 1 wish also to express my thanks
with heart that overf1ows with gratitude to
the faithful body of friends who have been so
solicitous in my behalf and, more than that, to
that great body of well-disposed, orderly, low
ing, patriotic Americans who have always and
everywhere received me kindly
BOSTON, June Ill feel just as well now
as did this morning. 1t was James &. Blaine
who said this Friday afternoon when asked il he
liked the result at Minneapolis He smiled as
he said 1t and there was nothing sforccd about
the smile. But ten minutes before two men
had rushed exctcdly up the stairs
shouting: Harrison is nominated" Mr..
Blaine received the announcement of
his defeat in silence. He did not even change
| color. If it was shock he kept it himself.
Not by syn of any kind could one detect the
tumult that must have been within. 1t was
marvellous exhibition Of perfect sclf-control.
Tho nj ssage handed him gave the total vote of
H54 given Harrison. He made no COM
mcn', SIMPLY nodd!ng to the messenger,
| signal for him to go. Then he
sent out for list of states and sent word to
the telegraph operator to let him have the vote
! in full as soon as possible. she took it to him
a few moments later and helped him figure out
just W h:rc Harrison got his strength and won
the nomination. He took great interest in the
vote given to him. but made absolutely no COM
ment in regard to it,
WHAT MR.. BLAINE SAYS.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine left att D. m. for Bar
Harbor. BE fore he left the city Mr.. Blaine gave
out this communications:
THE resolution energy and persistence
which marked the proceedings of the convention
at Minneapolis will, if turned against the com.
mon foe win the election in November. All
minor differences should be merged in the duty
of every republican to do all in his power to
elect the ticket this day nominated by the ma
tonal republican convention.
