HARRISON MEN HAPPY.
The Officeholders Feel Good Over
the Situation.

the Situation.
The Harrison men generally were
happy tonight. They are hopeful that
there is to be no bitterness after the
contest, and they desire above all things
the unity of the party. John G. New,
who has fgvred as largely as anybody
in Harrison's council, was i'll fine
spirits. He said that the president had
given the country a splendid, safe, hon
est and courageous administration. He
had the people with him and he would
be elected. Mr.. New said they had
made hard fight, and had to meet men
who were skillful opponents, but he
had nothing to say against them.
Ex-senator Spooner said: ''This has
been the most remarkable contest of the
kind, perhaps, that ever took place in
this country. Although the contest was
so bitter and so prolonged, it has left
but little auimOsity behind, and the IN
dications are that the party will he
united and win splendid victory in
November"
Conger, of Ohio, said: 81 recognize
the fact that President Harrission has
given the country pure, wise and
able administration, and while l should
have preferred to see Mr.. Blaine nomi-
mated, consider the convention has
made a good choice, and we will all
work for him ana elect him."
Senator Teller said: You can say
that Colorado believes Blaine would
have been very much the stronger man.
not only in Colorado, but all over the
Northwest; that he would have made
states certain that are now doubtful;
that we are good, loyal Republicans,
and stand by the ticket. We will do
our part, and if Harrison is beaten, we
expect he will be beaten by the very
men who forced his nomination. If the
states that have to elect him had been
consulted, Blaine would have beaten
him."

The National Committee Has
No Charms for Him in
This Campaign.

He Would Have Taken
Up the Fight.

The new national committee of the
Republican party is, of course, largely
made up of the old members, but there
are number of new men, some of whom
have already made more than local rep
utations as political managers. Powell
Clayton, of Arkansas; Sam Fessenden,
of the Nutmeg state; Daniel j. Layton.
of Delaware; bob" Evans, of Mime
sofa; j. S. Clarkson, of Iowa; G. A.
HObart,of New Jersey; Henry c. Payne,
of Wisconsin; P. c. Cheney, of New
Hampshire; and Cyrus Leland Jr., of
Kansas, are some of the best known of
the old committeeman who have been
reelected. Some of the old members
failed of reelection, and others did not
desire to serve again.
One of this latter class is Hon. John
P. Sanborn, the millionaire lumberman
of Port Huron, Mich. Had there been
prospect of Gen. Ayers nomination,
Mr.. Sanborn would have been glad to
have gone back on the committee, but
he did not desire the contract OF raising
funds with which to carry or attempt
to carry Harrison through again, for he
does not believe the president can be
elected.
Il don't think Harrison can carry one
side of Indiana" said Mr.. Sanborn to
'RhOdy Shiel, Harrison's indianapolis
neighbor. 81 know what it cost to publ
him through four years ago."
Another member, better known than
Mr.. SanbOrn. who did not desire to have
anything to do with the management of
the second campaign of Harrison. This
man is Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania,
to whom many of the Republicans still
attribute the victory of four years ago.
The election of the Pennsylvania men,
Der was put off for several days to allow
Mr.. Quay time to survey the field and
make up his mind whether some other
than Harrison could be nominated. He
evidently felt certain of defeat yester-
day morning, for when the convention
met the delegation announced the Sc
lection of David Martin, of PhiladeI-
phia,
"Dave'' Martin has been one of the
leaders of the Philadelphia Republi-
cans for many years, and always a
trusted lieutenant of the great Cameron
and Quay machine. He is a man of
popular manners, and the boys follow
him because they like him. While he
has not the reputation of Senator Quay
as a manager, ne is equally as long
headed and strong, and much safer. If
he is given a show on the committee,
which is hardly likely, he will be found
capable man. He swears by Quay,
and resigned soft federal office.

And the Officeholders Stolidly
Went About Nominating

Matt Quay Shows His Temper
in a Short, Sharp In
terVieW.

A bolt of light shot in through the
roof of the convention hall. 1t was like
a calcium light thrown on the figure.
By accident it lit upon a handsome
woman, who sat behind Tom Reed, of
Maine. His face was full of smiles,
either of sarcasm or Ieproach, and no
man living knows which 1t was, for at
the moment the acclaim of the multitude
was for the man from his own state.
There was no silence in the convention
from start to finish. but the applause
was all for the man who has gone into
private life with the most remarkable
history that any individual Of ma
tiOnal reputation has ever enjoyed.
No man in a national cOnYen-
ton ever received so much APP
plause with such small result. In fact,
it looked when the vote was taken as
though there had been no purpose to
nominate him. Pennsylvania was as
silent as the grave when defamation
was demanded, and voted for McKin-
ley, whose name had not been men,
toned as a candidate OHIO voted for
Mckinley. and the aggressive Foraker
sat on the floor of the convention refus-
ing to open his mouth when the multi
tude shouted for him. In fact, 1t
seemed as though the lines had all
weakened, and the generals of the past
had
Lost Their Nerve.
1t was a rem arkable revolution to see
the men who have all their mature lives
been shouterS for Mr.. Blaine sitting Oh
the floor of the convention with their
mouths shut. As rule the speeches
were bad. Mr.. Depew filled the hall
with rhetoric, but the crowd was not
with him, and it was with some diff
Guilty that he finished. The most i'm
pressive speech of the day was made by
ex-Secretary Thompson, who was in
Hayes cabinet. and it did not take
twenty lines. The most eloquent, and
In some respects the most dramatic one,
was made by colored fellow from Ten
nessee. His words were very large,
but very expressive, and he demanded
as much attention from his audience
as any man who spoke. But the
state from which he comes and
Texas decided the nomination.
Warner Miller struck the spirit of the
convention when he announced tbatnot
a Republican community in New York
was in favor Of Benjamin Harrison. and
were in favor of Mr.. Blaine. Yet it was
a most remarkable incident that they all
voted for Mckinley. This was part OF
the by.play. 1t consumed great deal
of time. Had Michigan presented Alger,
and Wisconsin Rusk, and the states who
are opposed to Mr.. Harrison had

HE Is FOR HARRISON.
Mckinley Makes a Brief Speech
at the West.

AS Gov. Mckinley left the convention
hall he was greeted on all sides with
great applause. He took a street car
for the West hotel. The car was
damned with people. They greeted
him with: 'Well. you'll be nominated
by reclamation in 1896, anyway" When
he alighted from the car the crowd on
the streets followed him into the West.
The jam of people there surrounded
him and called Tor speech. AS he
mounted the stairway he remarked to a
friend he had nothing to eat
since early morning, but responded to
the cheering crowd: "Gentlemen, what
voice have left is for Harrison, and
where my voice is my heart follows"
For several DAYS past the governors
friends have besieged him in an effort
to get him to consent to be a candidate,
and said his name could not be used.
He persistently declined to enter the

have, to greater or less extent, been
servants. There were
Many Funny Figures

in this gathering. A woman made a
speech. She had once before addressed
the delegates in favor of woman's part
in politics, but yesterday it cut no par
ticular figure in what was going on. j.
Ellen Foster has been a conspicuous
figure in the combats of the woman's
suffrage question, and fellow in the
gallery was mean enough to ask, almost
in the midst of her speech, show her
husband was getting along with the
babies" Another incident of this part
of the movement, of this rather interest
ing gathering, was Cnauncey Depew
and ex-senator Hiscock, of New York,
shouting themselves hoarse and waving
their handkerchiefs when bedIam was
turned loose, as eloquence was being
given out and digested by the conven-
ton. The session was tlresOme. There
were too many speeches, and the rhetoric
dominated more than the material. 1t
was gathering Of the militia, and they
got away with the fight without any
serious difficulty. FRANK A. BURR.

SO lar as i am concerned"
Who is the master of the situation?
Chris Magee. who has been the real
positive character of the Harrison move
ment. John C. New, the consul-general
of London, and his son Harry have
stood as the sponsors, and aggreSSively,
too, while the slick citizen from Pitts
burg kept silent and was like an engi-
neer making new highway through
the mountains. Where the tunnel will
lead to is question up for decision.
There was great deal of temper, and
is yet. about the proceedings of the past
be played with, and there is a general
feeling that the man frOmMaine has been
simply temporizing with this remark
able situation. But just how he could
have fooled men like Quay and Platt is
something beyond the general under
standing. Yet it is evident that he has.
Queer things happen in politics. Mr..
Quay is q candidate for reelection as
senator from Pennsylvania. He has
carried his state with hands down, and
yet, in this mysterious controversy, he
has been laid aside. 1t is not giving
away any secrets to say that, had the
delegation from Michigan wanted Alger,
or said it did. and the one from Wis
eOnsin, which was talking about Rusk,
had stood by its people. the fight
would not have yet been finished. To
be candid, it does not seem as though
there had been very much honesty IN
the convention from start to finish, and
that it has been sort of ''go as you
please" walking match, where the men
who have heretofore been masters

N. b. Scott, the. West Virginia men,
Der, is an old hand at the business Of
running national conventions. He will.
undoubtedly, be kept in his own state
in case the leaders decide to make any
fight for that state.
b. G. Payne was reelected in Wis
cOnsin, but his course during the past
few weeks has not endeared him to the
Harrison hosts. He will probably con-
tinue to attend meetings of the commit-
tee in his private cal, and will serve his
masters, the corporations, with all his
former fidelity.
The new Republican national COM
mittee contains a great deal OF good
timber, but the trouble seems.to be that
a large part of it is either new or found
on the wrong side of the house. The
withdrawal of men like Quay, Clarkson,
Payne and others from active participa-
ton will cause the Harrison men no end
of trouble. Huston and Hahn will do
very well managing the campaigns in
Ohio and Indiana, but they will have
difficulty in expanding over the c0un-

A Silent Figure

IN what has been going on. The real
facts are that nobody seems to have as
serted himself. Quay is not a
speaker, and never was, but there were
men on the floor OF the convention who
had the power to assert themselves, and
did not do it, The real dramatic figure
of the gathering was John c. New.
Practically, as well as theoretically, he
has been the vice president of the
United States, and one of the masters
of rhetoric. of discipline and courage,
and yet he was tongue-tied. He sat on
the end of row with as much brains,
if not more, than any man in the con-
ventiOn, and his face gave no evidence
of his disposition, and, like a great
MANY others, looked like a piece of
dough. Revolutions occur every
twenty-five years. There is one
on now. There was one occurred
yesterday afternoon, when Chauncey
Depew made his speech and emu
merated the wonderful achieve
ments of President Harrison's
administration, and then paused to ask
who was responsible for them. Ten
thousand Threats shouted Blaine" and
kept it up until the brilliant orator lost
his temper, and left the discussion of
the problem before the convention to
go into that dreamy atmosphere of rhet
ORIG of which he is the master. No such
panorama has ever been painted by hui
man hands in a national convention as
the scene at this moment when the great
man from New York pictured the habits
and the purpose OF Mr.. Harrison's adj
miniStratioI, and found no response eX-
cept one. Major generals have been
outdOne by corporals, and the situation
of last night only illustrates this fact.
Youth has played a great part in this
game; but the Officeholders have done
the business. Speaking to Mr.. Quay
moment ago, he said:

would not have been any nomination

figure Mckinley cut. Sitting as the

and being voted for without his name
being put in nomination. The white
beads of sweat streaked down his face,
and he sat there to witness the most re-
markable maaeuvers that ever have
been played in American political life.

opinion engendered by the disagree

time for argument had passed, and the
