Wasuimiton, Juno 22.—President
Harrison wan officially notified yester
day afternoon of his nomination by the
Minneapolis convention The cere-'
mony took place in the big cast room,
which, with its fresh straw matting
and decoration of potted plants, was
nearly filled with the President’s
household. The committee formed in
semi-circle five rows deep. A quarter
of an hour's wait and
then from nmid tiio waving
palms of the cool conservatory oat the
end of theproftienado the president en
tered. . At his side walked Secretary
Foster and behind came Secretaries
Tracy, Rusk and Noble, Attorney
' General Miller, Private Secretary Hal
ford and "Prince Russell." Hearty ap
plause greeted his appearance and
grew louder as McKinley stepped
forward and grasped his hand.
The governor began his speech
of notification at once. lie
scad from manuscript and in so low a
tone that until, in response from cries
“louder," he raised his voice, tho Presi
dent himself could hardly hear him.
Applause, led by Elliott Shepard,
closely punctuated his remarks, and
11 tho same was true when tho President
made his reply. Like McKinley, the
Prcsiddht rend from .manuscript, but
unlike McKinley, he spoke so that
all could hear, and at times he grew
very earnest and impassioned. He re
ceived an ovation when he finished,
, and then everybody stepped forward
and offered him congratulations. To
all he gave a smile and cordial hand
clasp, and looked particularly happy
when a little later Ilarry Smith pre
sented him with the gavel used at the
convention. Then Oil withdrew to the
diping-room, partook of luncheon, de
parted, and the ceremony being over
• the doors were thrown open to the
- sweltering crowd and the President re
tired to his office.

Indians'* Trice for Solid Support of the
Ex-President.
Chicago, June 23.—It is generally
expected that ex-Govertior Isaac Gray
of Indiana will be the nominee for
Vice President.- llis name will be
presented for that place by his
own State' delegation, and it is
understood that the consent of the

of the vote of Indiana for Cleveland
was only given on the assurance that
the Cleveland leaders would favor ex
liov. Gray for the Vice-Presidency. As
the Cleveland organization is now very
thorough and well disciplined, there
is little doubt that any compact of the
leaders will be carried out to the letter
in the convention.
