Harrison led the way for u party Of enthusiastic
cabinet ministers and representatives of the

his visitors in the following language:
Il can only say with reference to this event
that has brought you here that the first thought
that fills my mind is one of gratitude and
thanks to the great multitude Of friends who
have in this way and divers other ways ex-
pressed approval of my conscientious. though
possibly now and then mistaken. attempts to
serve the country upon republican lines
I claim no other credit than that Of
having attempted without sparing my
self to labor to discharge these public
duties conscientiously, cannot expect my dem
ocratic friends to think on right lines; and yet
it has been very gratifying to me to know that
many things have secured the approval of my
political opponents. Ihaye been filed with the
thought that this country was coming to an
epoch when the flag and those things that it
symbolizes will be on still higher plane than
now, and when our influence among the powers
of the earth will be Enlarged wisely and yet en-
ergetically
II have sincere love for all our people.

times been suspected of being very little of a
politician from the fact that have. never
drawn inside my party personal lines.

case suggested, muck less demanded, personal
loyalty from every body I have asked of all

duty Ihaye felt that was unable to find a
suitable place for every deserving friend, but
have insisted that I did not disparage those

and strength have tried to discharge my
duties for the public good.
Il thank you all for many evidences of your
kindness. wish also to express my thanks
with a heart that overf1ows with gratitude to
the faithful body Of friends who have been so
solicitous in my behalf and, more than that to
that great body of well -disposed, orderly, low

the smile But ten minutes before two men
had rushed excitedly up the stairs
shouting: Harrison is nominated!'' Mr..
Blaine received the announcement of
his defeat in silence. He did not even change

a few moments later and Helped him figure out
just where Harrison, got his strength ana won
the nomination. He took great interest In the
