The editorial condemns the degrade
ton of the civil service and congratu-
lates the Republican party on the exile
of Blaine, concluding with the assertion
that nothing but the most unwise action
conceivable at the Chicago convention
can save the Republican party this fall.
San Francisco Chronicle.
SAN Francisco, June l3.-The Chron-
icle tRepublicaD says: while it may
be conceded that the prevailing senti-
ment of California favored Blaine, no
Republican can take exception to the re-
nomination of President Harrison, who
has given the country an administration
which was conservative where the con-
sersattsm was aggressive, where the
honor and dignity of the nation were in
yolyed."
Chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The Tribune (Re-
publican) says: "As the convention
could not nominate Mr.. Blaine, it has
done wisely in nominating its next
strongest leader, Mr.. Harrison. 1t mat
ters little now by what methods he
secured this high honor or that his fol-
lowing in the Northern states was rein
forced by a strong but impotent contin-
tingent from the South, which cannot
aid him in November, much as it may
have done for him in June. He is the
leader, and every true Republican win
rally to his standard with the same de-
termination that would have been shown
ii Mr.. Blaine had been the standard
bearer.
Des Moines Register.
DIES MONIES, Iowa, June 13.-The
Register Rep.) says: The Register, as
one of the supporters of Blaine, yields to
the dictates of fate and the majority of
the Republican delegates at Minneapo-
lis. 1t sincerely believed in Blaine as
the Strongest man for the Republican
standard bearer. But the leader is
named.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 13.-The
Journal Rep.) says: The denomination
OF President Harrison is great triumph
for him and for the Republican party.
Personally he could well have afforded
to retire from public life at the end of
one term. The past is secure and the
record of his administration is made.
The presidents triumph is emphasized
and magnifed by the violence of the op-
position to him.
New Orleans Picayune.
NEw ORLEANS, rune 1S.-The Plea
yuhf Democrat says: .sThe nomi-
nation of Mr.. Harrison is only an
other evidence of the power Of political
machines. Before the people Mr.. Blaine
would be greatly the strongest man, but
in convention largely composed of or
under the influence of the presidents po-
litical appointees, popular man has very
little show.
ST. Louis Republic.
ST. LOUIS, June 13.-The Republic
Democratic says: With Chauncey M.
Depew holding the Vanderbilt purse
strings as the commander of the Har-
rison forces. with 124 federal officehold-
ers in the convention, with a purchased
majority in the committee of creden-
tials and with the influences which con-
troll the negro balance of politics, Mr..
Harrison has succeeded In renominating
himself. The nomination means, Of
course, the entire Reputation of any
thing like conservatism in the Republi-
can party.
Chicago News Record.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The News Record
Qnd.) says: Yesterday the first ballot
stripped the Blaine movement of its
mask and exposed the hollowness of its
promises and pretensions. The result is
gratifying from standpoint of high
patriotic sentiment Mr. Harrison was
not antagonized because of any alleged
failure of his administration. The OBJ
lection that was found against him was
the outgrowth of personal dissatisfac-
ton. They wanted to run his admins
tration for him.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The Herald Dem
ocrat) says: The patriotic people of
the United States, without regard to
political affiliations, will feel like rejoic-
ing at the presidents success. 1t is a
triumph Of deeency over dishonesty, of
candor over duplicity, of conservative
common sense over fatuous idiocity. No
other Republican who desired a second
nomination from his parry encountered
opposition of such character as that
which Harrison has just successfully
contended.
