The news of the Republican nomination
OF Harrison and Reid was fatty received
here. There was no enthusiasm displayed
aud it seems to be the general opinion of
the greater part Of the Republicans in this
section that the ticket is not as strong as il
might be. They seem to think that either
Elaine or Mckinley would have been
stronger candidates. Although they have
no fault to find with Harrison's admins
tration they do not believe in second terms
and are aware of the seldom reelection of
a President, On the other hand the Demo-
Gratis are much pleased at the selection and
| think II y the easiest ticket that could have
been made to defeat.
