minated Blaine in an able speech.
There was little enthusiasm over the
"plumed knight"
Chauncey NJ. Depew, the famous
orator of New York, put Harrison's
name before the Convention in one
Of his mastery efforts.
Mrs. Carson Lake, wife of one of
the secretaries, from New York, led
the greatest demonstration of the
session for Blaine. She stood up
and waved white umbrella, crying
out to the men to rise and cheer for
Blaine. Fifteen minutes of the wild
est cheering from thousands of throats
ensued. When Harrison's nomina-
ton was secured she Topped down in
half-fainting condition.
Mckinley made the motion to make
the nomination unanimous which car
ried.
Whitelaw Reid, ex-Minister to
France and editor of the New York
Tribune, was nominated for Vice
President by acclamaton. He was
nominated by State Senator O'Con-
nor of New York.
Blaine refused to be interviewed, l.,
but gave a short communication to a
reporter of the Boston journal, urg-
ing the Republican party to unite
against the common foe.
On all hands Blaine is said TO have
been shamefully treated by those
who misled him into leaving the
Cabinet by promises they knew they
could not keep.
