IHE THUNDERER's OPINION,
Blaine Has Been Placed In q Ridiculou
Position, 1t Says,

Blaine Has Been Placed In q Ridiculous
Position. 1t Says.
LONDON, June 11.-All the morning
papers comment ON the nomination made
by the Minneapolis convention. The Tsmp,
says:
The only surprise is that a result was ar.
rived Mt in one ballot. 1t puts Mr.. Blaine
into somewhat ridiculous position. he fail
ing to secure respectable minority. 1t is
not a defeat-it ts u rOut. He had long
had the credit OF being the asturest, al.
though not the most scrupulous politician
n the country. His resignation Of the Sec
retaryship of State was hailed as a
master move and certain to have Il
most telling effect, n calculation singu-
larly falsified. The clever combination by
which Mr.. Harrison was to he defeated has
been tried to no purpose. Judging from the
result, Harrison's friends stood firmly by
their man and left Baine's friends to do all
their voting In McKinley's favor leaving
their own chosen candidate in q ridiculous
minority.

Secretary Foster came in while the Presi'

hardly able to restrain his enthusiasm until
it was concluded. When the President had
finished speaking the servants of the man.
sion pressed forward with their congratula-
tions, and to one of them, colored man
from Virginia, he said jocularly: "Now,
Jerry, you must be sure to find u 'possum
for me as soon a. the frost falls"
The President then excused himself ana
the visitors left the house. Mrs. Harrison,
who has been an invalid for weeks past. was
purposely kept in ignorance Of the exciting
events of the past week. Now that there
was no longer any doubt as to tho Presi-
dents nomination it was concluded that the
good news would do her no harm The
President himself impaired the in lorna ton
and the result justified his Judgment. 1t
acted on her like tonic and she was

the soldiers home, where his grandchildren
had spent the day and he brought them
home with him.

B.F. JONES Is PLEASED.

Tho Ex-National Republican Chairman
Well satish-d With the Work OF tho
Convention-Thhks Harrison Has Made
Magnificent President
B. F. Jones. e1-National Chairman of the
Republican Committee, was delighted with
the work of the Minneapolis Convention.
The great iron monger was found at his
homo last night He had received official
word o it's work from the convention. He
had wired his congratulations to the Presi-
dent.
"Its all over now. or course I am pleased
with the Presidents denomination. 1t was
no surprise to me, however. have never
thought seriously OF any other candidate,
and even when the Blaine boom was
revived just before the convention
met could not persuade myself
that it would in any way interfere with Mr..
Harrison's candidacy. The withdrawal Of
Mr. Blaine from the Cabinet, as everybo
knows, confused our politics considerably,
but with Mr. Blaine's Withdrawal came a
make the Presidents set to thinking and the
more they thought the brighter be-
came the outlook for Harrison. You
magnificent President. His policy has
been sound and with him the business in.
terests of the country have been safe. The
worst that coutQ De SalU OF MIN, even Dy his
enemies was that he could not be bossed.
III preaict President Harrison's reel ectton.
His nomination ut Minneapolis is but gem
eral Endorsement of his safe, conservative
and wise administration by the party
leaders, and his reelection will be but the
same Endorsement by the whole people.
81 am truly sorry for Mr.. Blaine. His let
ter to National Chairman Clarkson, in which
he SAID his name would not go before the
convention, 1 accepted as having been writ
ten in good faith. The country generally
seemed to accept 1t in the same way. have
never doubted that Mr. Blaine was sincere
and earnest when he wrote that letter. but
think shrewd and well-tratned politicians
played with his feelings and with pledges Of
feaity and promises of success dragged him
into ut least an uncertain position which they
used with all the force they could command,
not SO much to elevate Mr.. Blaine rs to de.
stroy Mr.. Harrison. l think Mr. Harrison
will be much stronger before the people
than Secretary Blaine would have been
under all the circumstances.
"But, as I say, I am sorry for Mr.. Blaine.

but the scenes witnessed on the floor were
Tar more interesting than is usually the case
when the House is in session.
4 large blackboard had been elevated to
the clerks desk, and on this were chalked

Disputes Among Republicans
DETROIT, June l0.-An Associated Press
representative called at the residence OF
General Algcr, this evening, after the alt
of the Minneapolis Convention was known.
"What do y Oh think o. the ticket?" he was
asked.
Il think that il is one that will carry the
country next November for the Republican
party" he answered
Were YOU surprised at the strength shown
by Harrison on the first ballot and his selec-
q on that early in the contest?"
He showed more strength than thought.
Tie result o. the ballot showed that
Lis forces were much better organ
tied than his opponents were aware
oi, and ] WAS very much surprised that
he should receive ma jority OF votes on the
first ballot. Before it WAS taken everything
seemed to in 1icate just all opposite result
! believe .hat all differences of opinion
should be settled by the National Conven-
tion, and rs at body has seen fit to select
this ticket, all Republicans should fall into
line and make the victory. which is an as
sured TACT. a notable one next November"
How was 1t, General, that the Michigan
delegation did not give you vote, as was
anticipated they would?n
1t was at my request" he replied. Il de-
sired to release them from their promise to
vote for me, but did not indicate for whom
wished them to ballot"

HUNTINGDON FOR HARRISON.

The Democrats Theirs Say He Is the Strong
est Of All the Candidates.
HUNTINGDON, June 0.-[Special. 1.-The news
of the denomination of President Harrison
was received with great satisfaction by the
Republicans of the city. For three hours
this afternoon the telegraph Office was
besieged by anxious Republicans eager to
hear from the seat of war. The crowds con-
sisted of Blaine, Mckinley and Harrison
men, but the best feeling prevailed between
them. Every Republican is solid for Harri-
son now and the business men especially
are pleased with his denomination.
On every side are heard expressions of
sympathy for Mr.. Blaine. Candid Democrats
admit that Harrison is the strongest man
that could have been nominated, and are
not very hopeful of defeating him.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-06-11

We have been close friends for years and
my only regret is that he was not allowed to
remain just where he stood for years-the
of years and honors, he has
been the Gladstone Of our politics.
With his experience ripened by a
long and faithful service in the affairs of
quiet and rest TO which his efforts entitled
him. Defeat or humiliation should not have
thrown fickering shadow over his de-
Ginning years. He should have been under
stood as he intended he shonld be under
stood. His letter should have been accepted
as he intended it should be accepted. But
withal Mr.. Blaine is a Republican, and pre-
dict he will evidence his sincerity by giving
his undivided force to the Republican
nominee this fall"

BEDFORD, PA, June lO.-[SpecfaLl but lit

There was only one fiag displayed, and that
was at the home of John Cessna who gloried
over the defeat of his old-tine enemy,
Blaine. Republican sentiment of this
county since the resignation of Blaine
turned to the nomination of Mckinley and
the nomination of Harrison Is believed to
be an unwiSe one. Democrats are more
delighted tonight than Republicans.

ENGLAND TAKES IT COLBY.
The Nomination of Harrison Considered .
Triumph OF McKinleyism.

LONDON, June l0.-The Presidential contest
in the United States excites interest here,
chiefly on account of its influence on the
American fiscal policy. When the news of
the denomination of Mr.. Harrison was re-
ceived it was too late to get the views of the
political world. The Republican split was
welcomed as likely to tend to the defeat of
the protection policy. 1t may, therefore, be
predicted that the triumph of McKinleyism
will be coldly received.
Mr.. Gladstone's organ, The Speuksr, in its
issue tomorrow will make bitter attack
on Mr. Blaine. The article will say: There
is still a lively recollection here Of his cam
paign of rhetoric against England. 1nf1am-
matory appeals to Fenianism used to be Mr..
Blaine's way of ingratiatinS himself upon
sh-American electors"

BANGOR, NE, June 10. Especial - The
news OF Harrison's nomination fell like
wet blanket upon the Republicans of Ban
gor and of Maine. who had hoped and even
expected that Blaine would win on the Sec
ond ballot. Had Blaine been nominated
this city and all the other cities of the State
would have been the scene of noisy reioic-
ing tonight but with Harrison as the party
leader, every Republican and many Demo-
Gratis were disappointed and depressed.
Prominent Republicans here are disgusted
at the action of the conven tfon. and openly
express the opinion that the party is doomed
to defeat in the national contest, while some
even express doubts as to the result in
Maine. The Democratic leaders are jubilant
over the selection of HARRISON for they re-
gard him as the easiest man to beat that
could have been nominated, while they
feared for the result with Blaine as the Re-
publican standard bearer.
