very likely have been for him also had it
been supposed at the time their conven-
tions were held, that he would accept the
nomination. The lateness and Indirect
ness of Mr.. Blaine's consent to allow the
use of his name handicapped his sup
porters, and rendered nugatory efforts
which otherwise would probably have
been successful.
The convention has been very earnest
one, and undoubtedly some bitterness
has been developed between the Harri-
son and anti-Harrison forces. But now
that the contest is over and President
Harrison has fairly won all differences
should be forgotten, and warfare
should be made solely upon the COM
mon enemy, the Democratic party.
Disappointment is an inevitable concomi-
tant of all nominating conventions where
there is more than one candidate, and if
disappointments are to be kept alive har-
mony, which is absolutely essential to
success, will be impossible. tits fair to pre-
sumo that the majority of the convention
are likely to be wiser than the minority.
This is the theory on which our govern
ment exists and in general it is correct
one. Undoubtedly the convention in Sc
lecting President Harrison to lead the
Republican forces has been animated by
desire and intention to make the strong
est possible selection that circumstances
permitted. Some may think that it has
not done so. But it will be unproftable
to discuss that question President
Harrison has been fairly nominated, and
it is the duty now of Republicans, what
ever their preference may have been to
afford him cordial and active support.
That ought to be easy to do, for President
Harrison is a tried and true Republican,
is in in full accord with Republican ideas
on all the great questions of the day and
has proved his ability to wisely admins
ter the executive Office by four years of
successful administration.
From this day forth let the Republican
party close up Its ranks and fight the
common enemy. Success is before it if
wise and harmonious counsels prevail,
but the Democratic party is alert and un-
commonly enthusiastic and success will
be jeoparded by elimination and re-
elimination and useless discussions of
what might have been, which will only
serve to intensity whatever bitterness
and diSappointments exist.
The Portland daily press., 1892-06-11

The obvious explanation of the large
vote for Gov. Mckinley is that the anti
Harrison men finding from the test vote
on the report of the committee on Gre
dentials that Mr.. Blaine could not Sc
cure majority of the votes divided, in
the hope that Gov. Mckinley, who was
a strong Harrison supporter and very
popular with many delegations, might at
tract enough of Harrison's supporters to
prevent a nomination on the first ballot.
But the Harrison men stood firm.

THE REPUBLICAN pLATFORM.

The Republican platform is aconcise,
clear and vigorous statement of the prin-
ciples and policy of the party. 1t reaf-
firms belief in the policy of protecting
American industries against foreign COM
petition by tariff duties, warmly COM
mends reciprocity, favors the use of gold
and silver for currency under such legis-
lation as will secure the parity of values
between the two metals; approves the
movement for an international monetary
conference, declares for free ballot and
fair count, favors the continued protec-
ton Of shipping and the building up of the
navy. declares in favor of the restriction
of emigration, so as to effectually exclude
criminals, paupers and cd:vict laborers,
denounces trusts and demands further
legislation if needed to abolish them,
approves the one cent postage idea, en-
dorses civil service reform, favors the
admission of the territories at
the ealiest practicable date, ap-
proves government aid to the Columbian
Exposition, expresses sympathy for all
legitimate measures to abate intemper-
ance. renews the party's pledge to the
veterans of watchful care and recogni-
ton Of their just claims, re-afirms the
Monroe doctrine and conmends the ad-
ministration of President Harrison.
The platform is one that will win the
universal approval of all Republicans
except'a few in the silver States who will
not be: satisfied with the silver plank.
On all the prominent questions of the
day it speaks with no uncertain sound
There is no trimming, and no declara-

HENRI TAANE. LILO inventor OF
that powerful machine called scientific
criticism, criticism immovable, mex
orable, which in some way destroys in
dividual liberty, making of man the
simple product of precise and defined
factors, from which he can, under no
pretext, disengage himself, such as race,
epoch, surroundings, which classifes
and labels all literary works like speci-
mems in museum of natural history;
which seeks, above all, the law, and for
gets, in it's desire to bring all things into
common, this element of difference
which is felt, this vibration Of soul to
soul, this something which escapes and
constitutes genius"
And yet Taine has written some beauti-
full poetry, thus combating the very
theory which he labors almost constantly
to maintain. Enthusiastic admirers
have declared that Taine is the first
writer of our time. Be that as it may,
he is a genius and an analyst of the first
magnitude. His power Of expressing
much in little is remarkable. Perhaps
the most conspicuous example of this
faculty is to be found in "The Nor
MANS" where, in describing them, he
speaks of them as s'these heroic seekers
after profitable adventures"
Taine is thoroughly domestic man,
in that he spends all of his time at
home; but he can scarcely be considered
an ideal husband, for apart from the
meetings at meal time he sees little of
his family. Mime. Taine is a hospitable
entertainer, and she and her beautiful
daughter are prominent figures at most
of the social events of the fashionable
literary circles of Paris; but the great
philosopher has SO arranged matters
that he is by common consent absolved
from all social obligations. From early
morning until far into the night, with
but brief intermissions for the 'sconsti-
tutionals'' which he compels himself to
take, Taine is immersed in his study-a
dingy sort of den isolated from the fam
ily's apartments and richly stocked
with valuable books. The great writer
and thinker is morbid in his dread of
notoriety, and would not even permit
Bonnat to exhibit his portrait in the
Salon. He is, perhaps, the most mac
cessible of all the great men of to-
day.
Taine's career is lesson to young men
of genius. He did not burst, like a me-
teor, upon the literary armament. On
the contrary, his rise was the result of
laborious and unremitting effort, coupled
of course with his wonderful mentality.
Born in 1880, Taine, as soon as he was
able, was obliged to work, not only for
his own support, but also for that of hi,
mother, to whom he exhibited up to the
day of her death a devotion that was al
most sublime. His first work, "Philo-
sophie Francois" appeared in 1866, and
was followed successfully, and at rea-
sonable intervals, by ''La Fontain ne,"
LA Litterateur Anglaise," ''Le Voyage
en- ltalie" and ''L'Intelligence." lie

cot'' in conventions, as the men he NOM
mates are generally elected regardless
Of odds.
Mr.. Shields is of old Virginia stock,
but was born May 8, 1s42, in Pike
county, Mo. He was graduated from
Union college, New York, in 1862, stud
led law with Senator John B. Hender-
son, of Missouri, and practiced with
success I'll in 1883, when he was elected
prosecuting attorney for the judicial
district including Dubuque, where he
had settled. In 1889 he was elected
state senator for four years, his major
ity being 4,2e0. In the senate he great
ly distinguished himself, and his speech
last winter in favor of license bill is
regarded by many as unanswerable.
His reputation as an orator and close
reasoner caused his nearly unanimous
election as delegate to the approaching
national Democratic convention. He is
SO effective before jury that he is nick
