Yesterday, the most intense interest
was manifested in the outcome Of the
national Republican convention. After
adjournment till evening, the eagerness
sabsided somewhat, although all
through the evening session there was q
good deal of inquiry as to who was the
vice presidential nominee, and a good
sized crowd remained in front Of the
INrELL1oENcER Office till the last bulle-
tin was put up.
Everywhere one went before the
nomination was made the inquiry was
for the latest from the scene of war.
After Harrison's victory every Republic

The boys sing we'll. This quartette, it
is to be hoped, will be heard often in
the opening campaign.
The news of the denomination OF
President Harrison was received at
Bellaire yesterday evening with great
rdealeof satisfaction by the Republicans.
The events of the past week had made
him more admirers and stronger adher-

state acts for which his administration
Ia noted. The warm feeling manifest
for the President there is that which
demonstrates the truth Of the old say
ing that the way to bring out mans
friends is to fight him.
