Nearly All the Insular People Arc Glad

LONDON, June 12.-The burden of the
comments of all the evening papers on
the denomination OF President Harrison
and the selection of Whitelaw Reid as
the Republican candidate for vice pres
ident, is Joy oveE.the defeat of Mr..
Blaine.
The Pail Mall Gazette says: Gwen
those least in sympathy with Mr..
Blaine as a politician may spare pass
ing regret at the cruel disappointment
OF the man who is the ablest Republi-
can and most astute politician in the
United States.
The Globe says: "For once the Amer
ican caucus was OF real interest to out
siders. especially England. In view Of
the dissension in the Democratic party.
the nominee of yesterday stands a good
chance of being the next President. It
was happy thing that the caucus de-
cided overwhelmingly against the great
wire-puller whose entire career has
been marked with attempts to. make
party capital out Of foreign politics"
The Globe then relates at length Mr..
Blaine's acts Of hostility towards Eng
land, as shown in the Chilean affair the
Bering sea question. the Newfoundland
matter, ETC., and adds: Given as it was,
President Harrison sometimes had o
difficult task to check the mischief"
The Star publishes a most violent at
tack on Mr.. Blaine because OF his pro-
lection principles, and sums up its
estimate Of President Harrison's
qualifications by declaring that he
Is "a quiet, tnassuming old gem
tleman OF great personal integrity, but
without great ability" It then pre-
diets the nomination Of Cleveland by
the Democrats, and concludes by say
ing: "The sympathies Of oil free traders
and liberals should be with the cham
pion OF reform, Grover Cleveland.p

The convention has completed It's
routine work, and is now on the impor-
tant business prepared by the general
officers, which embraces suggestions Of
such subordinate lodges as desired
changes, either in the constitution Of
the association, or the scale Of 1929,
Among the mostimpor.ant suggestions,
and for the adoption Of which strong
efforts will be made are: First, to have
a two years scale; second to Withdraw
from the American Federation Of Labor;
third, that the price Of boiling be fixed
this year at s. so per ton, as at present,
and fourth, that Sunday work be
avoided by beginning work on Monday
morning, instead OF Sunday evening.

nElIEvED rHEY COULD WIN.


There is nodoubt that Clarkson, Platt
and Quay honestly believed they could
nominate Blaine. But the Minneapolis
convention was run on popular princi-
pies that never had more able politt-
clans than those men in the manage
ment OF machinery, and they are invai-
liable in tho after convention canvass.
But tho possession OF great power leads
party leaders to discount the strength
Of party movements. Clarlson, and
the other leaders who stood with him,
could not feel the power OF the great
business interests OF the country. It
was not seen ordinarily in caucuses or
conventions. Harrison had scarcely
any organization to speak Of, and he
had mono OF these great political lead
ers, But kilograms favoring him-not
manufactured kilograms, but the honest
expressions OF business mcn-came
pouring into Minneapolis, and they
were effective. We met every night.
There wero no brass bands, but in a
quiet way tho chairman, pencil in
hand, took the reports on the situation
from the others. In this work OF get
ting at tho exact condition OF things
and the progress We were making, your
man Jones, "Long" Jones, was the most
efficient, He was superb. Then VIC
made up our minds to risk q test"
A DARING MOVE.
It was daring thing to do. We ar.
ranged for meeting of oil the Harrison
delegates. We knew perfectly well that
il not enough delegates appeared to con.
stituto majority OF the convention the
factwould be recognized by the weak
kneed men to be a release, and that our
cause was lost. But when 463 votes
were found they chose me to load tho
column, fully convinced OF success. Tho
opposition was disorganized, but when
those 463. men saw my arm raised, they
recognized tho man whom they had
chosen to direct their tactics.
Whitelaw Reid's candidacy had noth-
ing to do with Blaine'a defeat, In the
first place he was not n candidate. l
made up my mind, however, sometime
ago to secure his nomination II 1t lay
within my power.
TAKEN AT lrIs WORD.
Every one knows my feelings toward
Blaine. Had no not written that letter
to Clarkson he would have had my sup.
port More than that. II lie had
Gt an early date announced his can.
didacy Harrison would not have been
candidate. That letter was message

History,

WASHINGTON, D. O., June 12.-The
business Of the senate during the COM
ing week will be governed to a great
lextentby, and will be dependeeat up
on the extent to which the Republican
senators, who have focked in such
great numbers to Minneapolis, will
have returned to Washington and have
again taken their seats in the chamber.
In any case. however, some progress
may be made on general appropriation
bills, two of which, the legislative and
the agricultural, were received from
the house last Thursday, and referred
to the committee on appropriations,
where the post office appropriation bill
is also pendingi and several conference
reports will probably be presented to
the senate and agreed to during the
week,

for action until things political shall
have got back into their normal condi-
tion, subsequent to the Democratic Ma
tional convention; but speeches may
be expected upon II and the currency
question during almost any days ses-
sion. Mr.. Morgan is ready to take the
floor upon the silver question whenever
he sees an opportunity Of extracting the
views OF certain senator's; and Mr.
PETER has given notice oil his intention
to address the senate tomorrow on his
peculiar bill ITO increase the currency
and provide for It's circulation; to re-
duce the rates OF interest and to estab-
lish bureau OF loans;" and, finally,
Mr., Call proposes next Wednesday to
nay his respects to certain railroad
companies which show, as he thinks,
too much interest in the question OF
who shall be elected to the senate.
TARIFF IN TIE HOUSE
In the house the truce which was de-
clared on party measures will expire
early in the week, when the Republi-
cans shall have returned from their
convention, and there is promise Of a
b1sy week with tho tariff again the
leading issue. Atthis time it is inipos-
sible to state the order in which the
tariff bills will be taken up, but the
probabilities are that tho tinplate bill
will.be the first upon the programme II
Mr.. Shively returns to Washington
from Indiana in season, as is expected.
The silver lead ore bill and the bill to
limit the value Of clothing and personal
effects that may be brought into the
United States BY tourists are also to re-
ceiye speedy consideration.
As there has already been free ex-
preston Of opinion on the general sub
ject OF tariff revision, 1t is believed that
the debate on the first OF the measures
called up will be broad enough to cover
the others. A strong disposition Is ap-
parent to hasten the hour OF final ad-
iournment.

BOARD OF SELECTMEN.

An opinion on the Widening of the East Causeway of TomlInson Bridge Routine Business. At the meeting of the board of select

 We would advise that petition be made by | the selectmen to establish a harbor line on the south side of the bridge and that when such line ! is established that the selectmen proceed to lay out the additional width required in the manner prescribed by statute for laying out highways and that any question of title be tested In that proceeding.
 Sargent k Co., and of MT. Brown is so good that damages ought to be paid until that title has
 been tested, unless, of course, the parties would consent to reasonable sum for whatever rights they may have, allowing for tho benefit . wider road would be.
 The board then voted to petition the harbor commissioners to establish a har- bor line on the south side of Tomlinson
 bridge.
 Richard Burns was appointed boiler in-
 spector and M. Joseph Donlan, ex-council-

 The town agent was authorized to in-
