PRESIDENT HARRISON
Received the News Quietly Seated a. His Desk
in His Office.

WASHINGTON. June lo.--It was 80
when President Harrison learned that the
Republican convention had endorsed his
administration by nominating him for
second term. He was sitting in his Office
al the time, chatting in a most composed
manner with several members of his
cabinet in regard 10 the work of the con-
yention and was probably the least excited
man in the group. Arrangements at the
White House for reception of news from
the convention are admirable, there being
special wire with the supreme right of way.
establishing free and uninterrupted commu-
nication between the convention hall and the
White House
The executive telegraph office is on the
northeast corner of the second floor almost
directly across the hall from the Presidents
office. Very interesting events occurred in
these two rooms during the afternoon. The
telegraph office has been closed during the
forenoon TO everybody except officials of
the Executive mansion and it was about ,
o'clock when il became known that Il ballot
was to be taken, and Private Secretary
fiaiford directed the room to be opened to
newspaper men and others who gathered in
the hall and in the adjoining room to await
the result.
The small room was soon crowded. The
telegraph instrument WAS i'll one corner of
the room and Mr.. Montgomery, the opera
tor, sat beside il with a typewriting ma
chine in front of him, with which he printed
bulletins as received. Mr.. Hallford sat at
the table by his side an Postmaster-Gen-
eral Wanamaker occupied another desk
near by. Each was supplied with a tally
sheet containing the names of the canli-
dates together with the number of yot es
each state was entitled to, and the test vote
taken last night on the report of the COM
mttee on credentials. This latter column
of figures was TO show the gains or losses in
the case of each state. Crowded around
and behind these gentlemen were about 30
newspaper men and friends of the Presi-
dent.
Secretary Elkins gravitated between the
telegraph office and the Presidents room.
and showed thorough know ledge of the
situation as ii developed. He frequently
consulted the postmaster generals figures,
and as votes for different states were
recorded he remarked significantly at inter
walls that Everything was going all right,
that ''the Harrison delegates knew their
business, and that 1--WE are gaining votes
in some places where we did not even hope
for gain"
There was not the least rush or excite
mcnt during the balloting up to the time
the wire announced that Ohio had east Is
votes for Mckinley. This was entirely I'M.
looked for and for the first time caused
doubt of Harrison's nomination on the first
ballot, which up to that time seemed as
surcd.

1t has been mostly ut arms length, except
on few occasions of this kind yet some
of YOU know that while | am very averse to
interviews, my door has always been open
to friendly call from any of you, and any
information about public business has been
ut your disposal.
can only say with reference to this
event that has brought you here, the first
thought that fills NY mind is one of graft.
tude and thanks to the great multitude OF
friends who in this and divers other WAYS
have expressed approval of the very con-
.cientious, though possibly now and then
mistaken attempt to serve the country upon
Republican lines claim no other credit
than having attempted, without sparing my
self as To labor. 10 discharge these public
duties conscicntiouSly.
cannot expect my Democratic friends
to think that ! have been on the right lines
always AMI yet it has been very gratifying
to me to know that many things have Sc
cured the approval of my political oppo-
nents. ! have hecn filed with the thought
that this country was coming tn an epoch
when the flag anl those things that it sym
telizes will he upon still higher plane
than now, when our influence among the
powers of the earth will be enlarged wisely
yet eBcrgeticaIly. | have a sincere love
for all our people. | exclude no section.
| take into my affection and respect ali the
states and all our people.
In entering upon this campaign ] shah
do so without malice towards anv one.
think have sometimes been suspected of
being very little of politician from the fact
that have never drawn, inside my party
personal lines. ! have tried to treat every
one with the respect to which his station
entitled him. AMI have never in any ca g
suggested. much less. demanded personal
loyalty from anybody.
/ have asked of all public officers faith
fHl performance of their duty. / have felt
great regret that am unable to find suit
able place for every deserving friend; but
| have insisted that ! did not disparage
those whom eould not appoint to place
a. hal light and strength have tried to
discharge my duties for public good.
i thank you all for many evidences of
your kindness. I si-il also TO express my
thanks with heart that ovcrfiows with
gratitude to the faithful body of friends who
have been 50 SoIicitinus in my behalf. aud

disposed, order loving, patriotic Americans
