 'I thank you you all for many evidences of your kindness. wish also to express my thanks with a heart that overfiows 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, order-loving, patri- otic Americans who have always and every where received me kindly" [Applsuse I | Secretary Foster came in while the pres ident was delivering this speech, and was hardly able to restrain his enthusiasm un- | til it was concluded. When the president had finished speaking the servants of the mansion pressed forward with their con- gratulations, and to one of them, a col ored man from Virginia, he said, joculsr- | ly: "Now, Jerry, you must be sure to falls"
 The president then excused himself. and the visitors left the house.
 WHAT Kx-sEcREIARY BLAINE SAYS. BOSTON, June 10.-EI-Secretary Blaine and Mrs. Blaine left for Bar Hsrbor on the 2 p. m. train over the Boston and Maine road. Miss Dodge C"Gsil Hamil- ton'O returned today from Hamilton, .-r
 panied Mr. and Mrs. Blaine on their east ern trip tonight. Mr. Blaine would not consent to be interviewed.
 Before he left the city this evening Mir. Blaine gave this communication to the representative of the Boston Journal:
 "The resolution, energy and persistence which marked the proceedings of the con- vention at Minneapolis will, if turned against the common foe, win the election in November. Allminor 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 national repub- lican convention.
 'ISigned) JAMES G. BLAINE"
 PRESS COMMENT.
 BOSTON, June 10.-The local newspapers comment thus upon the Minneapolis nom ination:
 The Herald und. j.: 'swe regard it as fortunate thing for the country. He Har- rison) has not been great president, but he has been, within the limitations of in- tense partisanship, an honest and upright man in his office We regard 1t as fortunate for the country, also, that poll ticians with less good intentions than himself have been overthrown by his nom- ination. It is rebuke to the class of men who have been most conspicuous in oppos- ition to him in which every patriot should rejoice"
 The Journal (rep) says the nomination 'is deserved tribute to an administrs- ton which has been pure, dignified and efficient and has won the respect and con- fidence of the great conservative forces of the country. The renomination cannot be interpreted as personsl defeat for MT. Blaine. The course of the bslloting was proof that the Blaine movement originated not with his friends, but with his enemies, who used his great name and commanding popularity to aid them in their endeavor to defeat the president"
 NEW YORK, June 10.-The Times to- morrow will say: It was the better and safer Iepublicanism that nominated MT. Harrison at Minneapolis The republicans have probably put up their best and, all things considered, their strongest candi- date. The democrats, two weeks hence, must follow their wise example, or five months hence they will repent their own folly.
 Staats- Zeitung will say: 'As good Americans we congratulate the country on the choice of the Minneapolis convention. It might have made a better choice, but that was not to be expected; it could have made far worse one, and that was to be feared.
 The Herald will say: 'Tt will be writ ten on the page of current political history that the man who made this administra- ton conspicuous and who, there fore, deserved the nomination has failed to get it, while the man who reflected the glories of Blaine as the moon reflects the light of the sun. has claimed and received the honors of the occasion.
 The Tribune will say: Merit wins At once an embodiment and a champion of republican ideas. Benjamin Harrison will be asked to serve again because he has served we'll, and the people will trust him because he has been found worthy of the trust.
 The nomination of Mir. Reid imposes upon this journal special obligations of courtesy and fairness, which it will en- desvor so to discharge as to deserve the 3D. proval of friends and the respect of oppo- nents
