How He Received the News OF Cleveland's
Nomination.
II was not until 7:3O O'Clock this morning
that President Harrison knew for q certainty
that ex-President Grover Cleveland had again
been chosen as his competitor in the race for the
next presidential term. He had anticipated
Mr.. Cleveland's selection, and would have been
surprised only in the event Of different re-
suit.
The telegraphic arrangements between the
White House and the democratic convention
hall at Chicago were precisely the same as those
with the recent republican convention at Min
neapolis, but as the nomination Of Cleveland
appeared from the first to be a foregone con-
clusion comparatively little interest taken
in the proceedings Of the present convention.
The President remained in his library until 10 80
o'clock last night reading the bulletins of the
convention and then remarked TO Private Secre-
tary Hslford, who was his sole companion at
the time, that it would probably be at least
two hours before the balloting began. and as he
did not desire to lose any sleep over the mat
ter he would retire. The telegraph operators
were thereupon excused for the night, land the
President heard nothing more from the conven-
ton until he arose at his usual hour this morn
ing.
reached a nomination during the night. The
valet didn't know. but said be would find out
Soon after leaving the President he heard
the new.boys on the street calling out extra
and he bought paper containing the announce
ment Of the nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland on
the first ballot. The paper was at once taken
to the President and gave him the first informa-
ton b had on the subject.
An effort was made by q representative OF the
Associated Press to induce the President to say
what he thought Of the nomination but be
courteously declined to say anything at all on
the subject for publication.
