COL. HARRIS MISTAKE.


The IptelJiyclcer is not at all pleased
with the interview which Senator n. b.
Scorr accorded the REGISTER regard
ing the part Of Mr.. HART and the West
Virginia delegation in the Mimi eapolis
convention. The RtelligeBcer could
scarcely be other than displeased at Mr..
SCorTs caustic remarks, under the cir
cumstances. Nevertheless, Mr.. SCoTT's
sentiments are undoubtedly reflection
OF the sentiments Of nine-tenths OF the
Republican party in West Virginia and
a vast majority Of that party's rank and
file throughout the United States. The
The States whose delegations nominal
ed Mr.. HARBIsON are the States that al
ways 20 Democratic. The States which
Mr.. HARRISON must rely on alone for a
reelection did not want him as the
candidate. This was as plain as day from
the beginning, but stubbOrnly ignored
bv Mr.. HART, who for some reason saw
ft TO misrepresent his party in his own
State and 20 work against the wishes Of
the delegations from Republican States.
Tn the convention the north was turned
down by the oGiceholders, the bread
aud-butter brigade, from the South.
Texas with 10000 Democratic ma
iority cast the deciding vote for HAIR
EIsoN. After the nomination was as
sured for HARRISON there was nothing
TO do for the States coming after but TO
fall in line. Had West Virginia voted
before Texas her vote would not have
been solid for HARRISON. In spite of
the fact that the President was al
ready nominated by the Texas vote,
Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wy
oming, Arizona aud the District Of
Columbia threw votes In opposition TO
the President II is decidedly inter-
esting and instructive to dissect this
vote of 535 1-6 given for the President.
For instance;
Alabama throw 15vOtes for Harrison, end
