HARRISON NOMINATED.

Contrary to every reasonable expecta
ton Harrison was renominated by the
Minneapolis convention yesterday. In
stead of being worn out by the Blaine
men the Harrison phalanx showed the
better powers of endurance and bore
down the enemy in the decisive battle
Blaine's friends overestimated his
strength and his hold upon the people
Their bowling tactics wouldn't work
Blaine enthusiasm didn't move the cold,
calculating friends of the Indiana man
a hair-breadth from the line their lead
ers marked out for them to pursue. They
were deaf to entreaties. deaf to cajolery,
deaf to threats and deaf to promises.
They staid by their man and his colors
and Blaine went down.in the dust.
The nomination of Harrison strikingly
illustrates the tremendous political pow
err of federal patronage and further evil
dences the fact that the president dis
tributed it where it would do the most
good. He held the delegates by the
strongest of worldly bonds-that Of SELF
interest. He touched their pocket books
and their bread and butter. He had a
small army of Office holders at Minneap-
oils. They fought for him and held his
forces level. Blaine enthusiasm was not
permitted to reach their ears. They
were machines manipulated by master
hands. They had been bought and
paid for by federal patronage. They
belonged to Harrison and he claimed his
pound of flesh.
The conservatives in the convention
could not get IN their work. If a half
dozen or less ballots had been taken
without reaching a nomination Harri-
sons name would not appear at the head
of the republican presidential ticket
neither would Blaine's. ! A dark horse
would have won. Pledges held the Har-
rison men upon the first ballots. The
conservatives drifted with the tide and
before its ebb the mischief was done.
Harrison was nominated.
Harrison comes before the American
people as the candidate of a faction of
his party. for the presidency. He is not
the choice of the republicans of the
country. He is the weakest man the
convention could put up. Blaine would
have been the stronger man OF the two.
Harrison's nomination will create no
Blaine, though undeserv-
ing, would have set the country on fire.
Harrison is coldly accepted; Blaine
would have been received with open
arms and warm hearts. HarrisOn's nomi-
nation will dampen the ardor of republi-
cans everywhere; Blaine's would have
aroused his party to supremei.efforts.
Harrison is a badly beaten man before
the battle begins. Blaine would have
had a fairly good fighting chance. Har-
rison will go down in disastrous defeat;
Blaine has already gone down They
have destroyed each other though Har-
rison has a few months longer lease of
political life. Both will soon fade from
the public gaze for this is democracy's
war

CENSUS estimates show that the wealth
of the United States if divided would
average 81 900 to each man, woman and
child in the country. But there are
mighty few families in the country that
enjoy the possession OF $1,000 per capita.
Under a pernicious high protection
policy the wealth OF the country has
found its way to the pockets OF huge
corporations, monopolies, trusts and
money s~yndicates. each OF which is daily
adding to it's dollars gathered from the
sweating brows Of the laboring men Of
the country.

Mr.. HARRISON will not get Nebraska'e
electoral vote this year. 1t will be given
to the peoples party. This has been de-
cided upon by the democratic managers
IN that state. There are about 10000
peoples party; G3,OOO democratic and
10000 republican votes in Nebraska,
giving something over G0,OOO fusion dem
ocratic majority. The democrats will
run a state ticket, thus keeping up their
state organization.

Both were elected by a rising vote, a
most deserved endorsement of their
sterling character as men and untlinch-

MICHIGAN's ELECTORAL LAW.
What Its Author Has to Say Upon It an
Upon Democratic Politics.

What Its Author Has to Say Upon 1t and
Upon Democratic Politics.
Judge John Miner of Michigan. the author Of
the new electoral law Of Michigan which has
given,rise to the term "Michiganizing' and
upon the subject of which President Harrison
wrote at some length in his message at the
opening Of this Congress, was at the Capitol
today.
Judge Miner is tall and slender man with Q
keen expression Of face and q dignifed bear
ing. big bullying forehead gives indication
of great capacity for planning and thought
To STAR reporter he said this morning:
1.-THE people of Michigan are not quite on to
the Cleveland-Hill business yet. The politi-
clans are talking about it little, but even they
do not appear to fully understand the situa-
ton. A comprehension Of the matter has yet
to sift down to the people.
"There is q very warm feeling OF friendship
for Mr.. Cleveland entertained by the masses Of
the people Of the state. When he was in De-
troit he received an ovation. OF course one
cannot say how much Of politics there is
In such enthusiasm as was displayed and how
much it was merely q desire to do honor to .
man who has been President Of the United
States, and has since his retirement conducted
himself as q modest gentleman.
1--WE cannot tell at this time how the Michi-
gan delegation will stand at the national con-
vention. The democrats Of the state want to
elect the next President and their attitude in
convention will depend somewhat upon the
situation Of affairs at that time"
Speaking Of the "Michiganizing" act, he said:
Under this law we are sure to have portion
OF the electoral votes Of the state and believe
we have a good chance to carry the state with
good candidate.
There is no chance Of the laws being de-
clared unconstitutional. There is no doubt of
its constitutionality. 1t would be very good

from Kentucky who was the health officer at

think, about that time in that Office.

shend had been for twelve or fourteen years
the health officer OF this District, and no def
cheney ever occurred in this or any other item
under his administration, and no complaints
ever poured in upon the Commissioner Office

out Of Office?
Mr.. Blackburn-These Commissioners put
him out Of Office, demanded his resignation.
He refused to resign and they kicked him out
OF Office in order to appoint DR.. Hammett
WHY Is he KEPT IN OFFICER
Senator Dawes asked whether any member
Of the committee (he not having been present
at the meeting) asked the Commissioners Why
they kept DR.. Hamnett in Office.
SENATOR CALL DEFENDS THE COMMISSIONERS
Senator Call defended the Commissioners
after general fashion. He would not con-
denim them unless there was more testimony
than he had heard. The question had two
sides to it and be wanted to hear both before
be condemned either party.
The bill was passed.
AN INVESTIGATION CALLED FOR.
On Monday the Senate will probably be
called upon to act on the following resolution
framed by Senator Blackburn:
Resolved. That the committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia be instructed to inquire into
the condition of the health Office of said Dis
trict Of Columbia and to ascertain why a de-
fciency Of S2S 9S4 80 exists in the appropriation
of that Office for the current fiscal year."
