people passed around the general as ha stood
In the center of the room. ICach man gave

were too excited to give nny expression of
Kiolr feelings.
Quito n number of General Harrison's per

With n dense mass of people. Amid tumultuous
Applause General Harrison appeared at the

Into an adjoining room , whuro ho wns foiced

the Pennsylvania state committee , who lias
ull the time during the convention opposed
Senator Avery In his efforts to nominate Sen
ator Sherman , to-night gave some interesting
inside views of the Ulaitio movement , nnd
says thnt Inst night the Hlnlno men had as
surances of 000 votes In the convention and
the plan to nominate Hlnlno to-day was fully
arranged. At that time the managers of the
Hlalno movement had received the llrst of
the cablegrams which were read in the con
vention to-day. It was decided to nominate
Diaino notwithstanding this dispatch.
This morning another conference was hold ,
and It wns definitely decided to force the
nomination of Hlnlno on the fourth ballot
to-day. This agreement was reached upon
Coopor's own motion. It was also agreed
that If this plan Buccocded , of which the
managers had no doubt , to have the conven
tion adjourn and nwnlt n reply from Hlnino.
Hut before the convention met the second
dispatch from Hlaino was received and the
scheme abandoned. It wns agreed to throw
the Hlaino vote to Harrison , which was done
and resulted in his nomination.
"BOWS TO THE VIC11DICT. "
The Chicago Tribune Will Support
Harrison Reservedly.
CHICAGO , juno 23. Tlio Tribune tomorrow
row morning will say : "It would bo sheer
hypocrisy on the part of the Tribune to pretend
tend that it thinks the convention placed in
nomination the strongest candidate , for its
readers would not believe such an opinion
sincere. What hns boon done is beyond
recall , direction or chnngo. There is
nothing left for straight party men who had
different first choices but to make the best
of Jt by supporting the nominee. The can
didate himself will be found to possess much
to admire. Ho has belonged to the republi
can partj' since its organization nnd been
true to its fundamental principles. He
has voted its ticket , represented it in
the senate and risked his life on
the battlefield in defense of its
principles. Ho is n man of
clean character , highest conduct , correct
morals , und Intellectually an abler man than
his competitor for the presidency. The dele
gated rcniesentativcs of the party having
selected General Harrison , the Tribune bows
to the verdict of the convention nnd will give
such support to the nominee as his record
bhall justify. Further than this an honest
party journal is not bound to go. "

There is n great , and universal satisfaction
in Washington to-night over the nomination
of General Hen Harrison of Indiana nnd Levi
[ ' . Morton of Now York to bo president and
vice president of the United Sinter. The so-
.cctlon of Gcnnral Harrison mndo it natural
that Mr. Morton should hnvo the second
lilaco on the ticket. It Is understood Unit
this was arranpod at tlio tiino New York
wheeled Into line for the Indiana fnvorllo.
Morton , it Is conceded udds grout st length to
the ticket.
A grand sccno was presented In the liouso
of representatives when the selection of Gen-
cinl Harrison was announced. Tnero were
ibout sovcnty-llvo republicans In their seats
and lounging about tlio cloak rooms when
.ho bulletin announcing the nomination of
jencral Harrison was received. Instantly
Lhoro was a. rush on tlio lloor and every re-
inbllcan member took from his desk a hand-
torchlcf In the shape of the American Hug ,
nnd springing ujmn their desks they waved
ho stars and strikes over their
icnds nnd yelled HUe mad , It
was n perfect din. The pcoplo
n the galleries flaunted their handkerchiefs
and Joined the Hood of voices on the lloor.
[ Business was suspended for fully three min-
itcs mid when the cheering on the floor died
out it was taken up in the corridors , wafted
over to the senate nnd out on the streets. The
> onpla about the bulletin boards throughout
ho city were thrown into the wildest excito-
nent. About 0 o'ulock members of the
National Republican league planted cannon on
ho Whlto lot immediately south of the exec
utive mansion and llrcd thirty-nine guns , ono
'or every state In the union , including the
tate of Dakota. All of tlio gentlemen in
Washington whoso immos were presented to
he convention for the nomination heartily
endorse the woric of the convention and pro-
lict success.
Senator Sherman was greatly disappointed
) ut ho was soon Jhlmself nnd declared the
lomlnatlon to bo first class nnd predicted
success. Ho will give every support ho can
0 the ticket.
Senator Allison shows himself to bo the
; oed and true man and loyal lopubllcnu that
have always told THIS BEE renders ho was.
iVhen I saw htm just after tlio announcement
nont that Harrison was the nominee ,
ic said : "Harrison is a grand ,
rood , able man nnd his nomination
s extremely and peculiarly strong. I am
glad that our state voted for him nnd I nm
uro our people will join uio in helping to
> ring about success. "
General Hawley is very much pleased over
ho nomination and is delighted with the
act Unit Connecticut was early wheeled into
Ino and joined the solid phalanx of doubtful
states to bring about the nomination. Ho
says that it is especially slgnlllcaut that nil
of the doubtful states were the first to pro
claim for Harrison. He holds that this
makes it obligatory upon them to turn in
heir electoral votes for the republican nom-
nccs.
I have interviews in my hand to-night with
every prominent republican in Washington ,
aggregating over ono hundred and fifty , and
'rom them I send Tins' Bin those touching
: ho salient points involved in the nomina
tions. I llrst present Senator Ingalls nnd
then members from the Puciilo slope , who
have forever quieted what there may be said
of General Harrison's soundness on the Chi
nese question.
Senator Ingalls , president pro tcmporo of
the senate , t > aid : " 1 prefer not to make nny
observations at this time. It's too curly nnd
1 have nothing matured in my mind. "
Harrison and Morton , Harrison a'ld Mor
ton , " repeated the senator , "that sounds
ounhonius. I will liavo something to say and
will try to make it to the point so that it will
havu a tendency to do tlio ticket some good
If I can do the ticket some good later. "
"In viewof the letter which you wrote nnd
which has been so widely published it might
seem significant if you should have nothing
to say about tlio nomination , " suggested Tin :
BKH correspondent.
"Oh , I think not and hope not , " said the
senator. "As I have said , it is too early now
to gather forcible conclusions. With refer
ence to that letter I have only to say that it
was the most villainous thing to publish it
that I can imagine. I wrote it as u private note
to n friend out in Illinois nnd he has tele
graphed me that ho did not give it out lor
publication , but that It was stolen from him
by nn enterprising newspaper icporter. It's
a deplorable thing to have such rascals in the
newspaper profession , because It embarrasses
all honorable men in it. I don't think that
letter was especially significant ono way or
another. I am sure that 1 did not intend Unit
it should over bo seen except b.v the gentle
man to whom it was addressed. I nm equally
sure that ho did not intend that it should be
come a publitt document. I wioto that letter
us ono Iriend would write to ono of his most
intimate acquaintances , nnd did not hesitate
to express myself upon the impulse without
nny second thought and without the least
suggestion that any other mail than the one
to whom It wns addressed would BOO it.
Senator Paddock of Nebraska said : "Ho
is a good one. He Is a man of ability and a
man of high character. He is u good pro
tectionist and n good lepublican in every
way and I have no doubt of his carrying In
diana. It is an excellent selection.1
Messrs Mitchell ami Dolph , the two Sena
tors ftoin Oicgon , nro the bet > t authority on
General Hanison's Chlncso record to hu
found in Washington. Senator Mitchell said :
"Tho nomination of General Harrison , to my
mind , was the best i > osslble solution of the
problem presented to the convention , I am
pleased beyond measure. I know the people
of the Pacific slope will bo , Tlio fact that
California wheeled solidly in line , and was
followed by Oregon , for Hmrison is prima
facie evidence that the charges against him
on the Chinese question were not only satis
factorily explained but disproved.
They would never have voted for
him had they not been convinced
that Harrison's Chinese record
was not porfoctablo. I leinombiir very well
to have talked to General Harrison at the
time ho voted on the two anti-Cliincsa meas
ures and ho stated to mo that both of his
\ otcs were cast against the proposition ! ) be
cause they were in direct conllict with exist
ing ticatios and would never htond the lest ,
they would bo subjected to in the courts.
Ono of the bills was vetoed by President
Arthur upon the ground taken by Mr Harri
son. There is no question in m.\ mind but
that Harmon will muko u good nice. He will
be elected. Ho will curry the Pacllio Mope ,
Indiana. Now sforlt mid the doubtful New
Knslund states. Morton is a splendid scc-
om. "
Senator Dolph said : "If Harrison carries
Indiana , n * he undoubtedly will , ho
will bo our next president. Ho is
Btiong and clean and will niulco
us good a president us the
country has ever had. As to his Chinese
record I know nothing in it that will bo ob
jectionable to the people on the Pacillo slopo.
The ( Juiueso question is not lib Important in
Oregon as it once was. It hus been buttled ,
for the present nt least , in a way that pleases
the people tlieie. Harrison niuy have vetted
against one or two anti-Chinese measures
but I know that lie hus satisfactorily ex
plained why he did so I may add that there
uro as good men us ever pecupied | wstion& ! in
public lifi ) who havn not at all times looked
at the Cfiinoyo question just as we on the
Pacjtlc ; coast , "
Mr. Morrow of California said "It is a
mhgnlflcentiiomiuatlori. II.in on n un i-x
collent man whosa military rod will cat ry
the boldierb1 vote with Iwn. As to bi < Chit-
ese record ho has voted with tis on every
thing subsequent to the ratification of the
treaty. I have mndo nn examination nnd I
uii satisfied Hint ho can carry the Pacific
slope on the Chlncso question. "
Mr. McICcnna of California said : "I hon
estly think ho is the strongest candidate wo
coulrt have nominated. Ho has nn absolutely
clear record everywhere on the Pacific slope.
The California delegates are representa
tive men. They were satisfied with his
Chinese record , and that would indicate their
belief that ho could carry the const , and in
this belief I heartily coincide. I have not
the slightest doubt on the subject. "
General Urowno of Indiana said : "Tho
nomination of Harrison will bo received
with enthusiasm in Indiana , nnd wo will
have a repetition WflHo campaign of 1S-10.
Ho Is known to beti cUVm man In his public
nnd private life. 3'horo is no flaw In his
armor. Intcllectunllynho is the peer of nny
innn in the nation , , , Vvilh Porter for gov
ernor , republican success Is nssurcd. I have
talked since the nomination with all the
republican representatives now here , and
all express the opinion that his nomination
wa.s a happy solution of the presidential
question. "
General Hovoy of Indiana said : "General
Harrison hns been plural on n soldier's plat
form adopted by the Chicago convention with
the soldier vote. He cannot fail to swoop
the state In the coming election. "
Representative White , of tno fort Wuyno
district , said : "I consider it the best poli
tical move that the convention could have
made. It makes sure of Indiana for several
reasons , nnd one most important reason Is
this , thnt the democrats hnvo undoubtedly
slighted Indiana nnd thnt makes it nil the
more certain thnt Urn nomination of Harrison
risen will secure it to the republican party. "
Mr. Cheadlo of Indiana said : "Tho nomi
nation of Harrison Is , In my Judgment , a most
fortunate ono. It secures beyond question
the electoral vote of Indiana for the repub
lican ticket next November nnd will enable
the full republican vote of Now York
to bo polled for our ticket , and
when this ticket Is done the
electoral vote of the Empire state will
bo republican , An intimate personal friend
ship of almost twenty-Hvo years hns enabled
mo to form an accurate estimate of his char
acter nnd ability nnd I do not in the least
disparage nny of his competitors when I say
thnt In all the elements of the truly typical
American ho stands without n rival. Ho is
the greatest lawyer Indiana over produced.
Ho is a life-time republican of whignntccc-
deiitsthoroughly grounded In the faith of an
American industrial policy.
