The New York Press: BY placing Ben
! jamln Harrison in nomination for sec
| ond presidential term, the Republican
| party OF the Cnited States in convention
| assembled at Minneapolis, has done
we'll and wisely. 1t has nobly redeemed
It's trust. 1t has proven itself equal to
It's great duty. 1t has risen to the level
OF Its high opportunity. And to oday a
| grateful party-yes, more than that, an
enthusiastic country-eNtends to the
| convention thanks and congratul atiOns
| We include more than the Republican
| party, because every patriotic citizen
OF whatever party must desire that
| whoever is named for the greatest office
| IN the gift of the American people shall
be man fitted for the lofty place; and
| there breathes not a soul in this repub-
| lie, Republican, Democrat, MugWump,
| PrOhlbltionist, Nationalist or member
of the Farmers Alliance, who, if honest
and intelligent, will deny that person
| ally President Harrison is such man
as an American President ought always
| to be; pure in character, lncorruptible
III office, strong III intellect, capable by
nature and by experience for the dis
charge Of statesman's duties, prudent,
sagacious and patriotic.
Tie New York Tribune: Merit wins
| The people recognize and gladly reward
| faithful and effective service. In sixty
| years no President, excepting Lincoln
and Grant, have rendered by wise adj
| mlnlstrations such exceptional service
| TO the people as To secure reelection.
| All the efforts of Jealous friends would
| have been of no avail hat. not the Re-
| publican millions believed that Presi-
dent Harrison, by really rare sagaclty,
| fidelity and tirmness, bad deserved at
their hands exceptional confidence and
| honor. Inde- no other President have
INftIt tOIlllitItt, -illltIitdi lIlilS-
try, and the prosperity Of the American
| people made such progress, and the ma
ton rightly Judges that trlumphs IN
peace are no less worthy of laures than
| trIumphS III war. Jhe nOmin-
alton o: Whitclaw Reid for Vice Fresi-
dent completed the work of the con-
vention. On this subject it becomes the
Tribune TO speak briefly and simply.
The distinction was not sought, and
cannot secure more Jealous and loyal
support of the Republican ticket by the
Tribune than it would have given to any
candidate whom the convention could
nave chosen. The nomination of Mr..
Reid does, however, impose upon this
journal special obligations of courtesy
and fairness and patriotism, which it
VIII endeavor so TO discharge us to tie
serve the approval of friends and the
respect of opponents.
The indianapolis journal: The re-
| nomination of President Harrison is IA
great triumph for him and fer the Re-
publican party. Personally he could
| we'll have afforded to retire from public
life at the end of one term. The past is
secure and the record of his admins
tration is made, His rank among Pres-
dents and his place in history are al
ready fixed, and he need not have
feared the judgment of the historian,
even If he had not been renOninated.
The Presidents triumph is emphasized
anu magnfied by the violence of the
opposition to him. 1t were needless
now TO recall the origin or motive of this
opposition. In the opinion of the
journal it WAS ungenerous, un inst and
unworthy of those who engaged in it.
Nevertheless, the fact remains that it
was fierce and formidable, we'll organ
;yaI o,,I oil taI That y lil
ceed was due to the fact that the Presi-
dents character and record were i'm
pregnable, and that hls place in the
popular esteem was so firmly fixed that
no movement against him could sue
ceed. The attack developed his strength
and demonstrated that he had much
stronger hold on the country than was
supposed. The President is decidedly
stronger than he was before the opposI-
ton to his denomination began, and
very much stronger than he would
have been if he had been renominated
without opposition. The Republican
party has had Il fortunate and narrow
escape The failure TO renominate
President Harrison would have been,
all things considered a disgrace 10 the
party, and would probably have led to
It's defeat. lie would have been vindi-
Gated by history, but the party never
could have been. He would have sur
vived the stupid blunder of failing to
renominate the man who led the party
out of defeat four years ago. and who
has made success possible now, but the
effect on the party would have been
almost irreparable. Happily its tute
lar divinity was 1T the helm, ana it has
been steered through the breakers into
the open sea. Even If 1t should suffer
defeat, which We do not think possible,
1t has been saved from the ignominy of
