MINNEAPoLIs, June 10.-The battle has
been fought, and the administration of
harrison sustained by the Republican
party in his nomination for President for
second term. Every resource known
in political warfare was brought to bear
by the leaders of the opposition to defeat
the Presidents denomination, but his
friends held steadfast to the end.
The name of Blaine on every occasion
called forth an amount of enthusiasm.
but the result demonstrated that a new
era has arrived in national conventions,
I'd preferences of delegates viii no
longer be swayed by the manifestation of
aheering thousands in the galleries. At
no time did the name of President Harri-
son evoke the enthusiasm that was called
forth by the names of Blaine and Nc
Ilinley.
Half dozen conferences were held at
carly hours by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
leaders to determine what was best to be
done. The proceedings of the convention
shows the result OF these conferences. It
was determined to keep Blaine in the
feld until the spirit of the convention
had been obtained, and then endeavor by
askillful move to stampede the convention
and nominate Mckinley. Pennsylvania
was the first State to turn aside against
. compromise candidate, ushered forth
by the most solid vote of the State of
Ohio, and Matt Quay is, as in years gone
by, prominent figure in Republican
politics.
The exact effect which Harrison's
nomination is to have upon the party
will not be known until the passions OF
men have subsidized. There is a great
deal of bitterness tonight, and probably
much of this will live during the cam
paign, but whether it viii be sufficient
to endanger the success of the Republi-
can ticket is problematical.

and others intimate tonight that their
coats are off, and that they expect to en-
ter the political field in behalf of the
nominee of the Republican party.
John C. New, who has figured largely
in the Harrisonian councils, is in fine
spirits. He said they had made hard
fight, had met skillful opponents, but
had nothing to say against them.
Ex-senator Spooner said: This has
been the most remarkable contest of the
kind that ever took place in this country,
but the bitter, prolonged contest left but
little animosity behind, and the indica-
ton is that the party will be united and
win splendid victory
Conger of Ohio said 81 should have
preferred to see Blaine nominated, but
consider the convention made a good
choice and viii work to elect the nomi-
nee.''
Senator Teller said: Colorado be-
leves Blaine would have been the
stronger man, but we are loyal Republi-
cans and viii stand by the ticket, and il
Harrison is defeated it will be by men
who forced his nomination"
