Delegates and Other Visitors Getting Away as Fast as the Cars Can Take Them, Mrsszarois, Mixs., June 11.—The dele- gates and visitors are leaving town as fast as ‘the cars can take them. The exodus com- ‘menced after the contest for the head of the ticket had been decided. and so ample were the facilities provided that this morning the hotels and streets are free from crowds and | present something of their normal appear- ance. John C. New, prett¥ well worn out by the exacting Jabors of the week, left here for In- | dianapolis last evening. and will sail for London | to resume his duties “as consul general next | week. Gov. McKinley, whose admirable perform | ance of his duties as presiding officer and | especially his fidelity to President Harrison | esterday have won for him new laurels, took | is departure this a for Chi- | cago, where his wife is visiting. Athongh | the governor left at an early hour a large num- | ber of his admireys were at the depot to say | ood-bye, and thfee rousing cheers were given | for him as the special train of the Ohio Repub- | lican League moved out. | Mesers. Quay and Platt also turned their face | eastward this morning and the remainder of the | New York delegution left on a special train at 7 o'clock. This evening Messrs. Clarkson, Fassett, ex-Congressman Conger and several others will go to Milwaukee as the guests of Henry ©, Payne. Although there are still here and there some traces of — the | bitterness engendered by the events of| the week, the supporters: of Mr. Blaine, as a | general thing, have manifested a loyal willing- | ness to let bygones be bygones and to work | united and harmoniously for the success of the ticket. ALL WILL GO TO WORK, THEY SAY. Even the leaders of the Blaine movement, such as Quay, Platt and Clarkson, say that party success must not be endangered by apathy and Inkewarmness, and that they will take | off their coats and work for the success of the ticket with us much earnestness and hearti- | ness as though it was their favorite that was to | be voted for in November. They promise, | moreover, an active, stirring campaign. There | will be no lack of funds, it is said, for this pur- Pothhe nomination of Whitelaw Reid is com-| mended on all sides as calenlatad to give strength to the ticket in the empire state, and | it is thought that the campaign fund will be | materially aided by contributions from the na- tional business interests that have been bene- | fited by the concessions granted them by the French government as a result of his represen- | tations and influence during his official career as minister to Paris. ton at no time figured as a candidate for re- | nomination was due to the fact that he had rep- | resented to seme of his friends who were mem- bers of the New York delegation that he was tired of the cares of official life and did not wish to be considered in connection with the | ticket. ME. DEPEW DENIES A RUMOR. A press representative saw Chauncey M. De- | pew at the West Hotel this morning and asked him if there was anything in the report that | he was to succeed Blaine as Secretary of State. Mr. Depew was all tification over the Harrison victory Ent he denied in the most emphatic way tha | there wax anything in the cabinet talk about | himself. “Either now or in the future?” asked the rep- resentative. “Neither now nor in the future,” replied the | chief orator of the administration forces.

Y., June 11.—Thegraduation exercises of the first class at West Point Mili- | tary Academy occurred today at 11 o'clock. | A platform and tent had been erected on the lawn in front of the library: this was by the board of visitors and officers at post with their ladies. The graduating class was under the tent. The opening of the exercises was delayed until the arrival of Secretary of War Elkins. ‘The Secretary was received at the station by Col.

How President Harrison Received the News of His Renomination. ‘MISS HALFORD WAS HIS INFORMANT OF THE RI- SULT OF THE BALLOT—CABINET OFFICERS AND, OTHERS CONGRATULATE HIM—HE TALKS TO THE NEWSPAPER MEN—MRS. HARRISON FORMED. There was a reasonable amount of enthusiasm st the White House last night. Had Mrs. Harrison been in good health the crowd would doubtless have indulged in noisy demonstra- tions, but as the first lady in the land was far from well the exuberance expended iteelf in worthy instances, in congratulatory osculation. During a large proportion of yesterday Presi- dent Harrison remained near his wife's bedside, | but when the news arrived that the convention was proceeding to a ballot he went into his office. There he found Secrotaries Tracy, Noble and Rusk, Mrs. McKee and Mrs. Parker. Moving in and oat of the room were Mr. Russell Harrison, Private Secretary Halford, Secretary Elkins, Postmaster General Wana- maker, Attorney General Miller and Lieut. Parker. HOPES AND FEARS, As the vote of each state was announced a dozen pencils, manipulated mostly by newspa- | per men, kept tally, Kesults were compared | with the estimates and it was generally believed | within fifteen minutes from the start that the | Pre.ident would almost certainly be renom- inated. For awhile there were heard expressions indicative of a fear that McKinley might develop strength enough to prevent a first-ballot nom- ination and when the Ohio vote was announced there waa more than a little dubiousness.

THE PRESIDENT TALKS, | As soon as there wus anything like silence the | President said: “Well, gentlemen, I have had a good deal of | intercourse with newspaper men.

I can | brought you here that the first thought that fills my mind is one of gratitude and thanks to the great multitude of my friends who have in | this way and divers other ways expressed provul of very conscientious, though posal now and then mistaken, attempts to serve the country upon republican lines. I claim no other credit than that of having attempted, withoutepating myself as to labor, to discharge those public duties conscientious! | “I cannot expect my democratic friends to think Ihave been on right lines always; and yet it has been very gratifying tome to know that many things hive secured the approval of my political opponents. I have been filled with the thought that this country was coming to an epoch when the flag and those things which it symbolizes will be upon a still higher lune than now, and when our influence among the powers of the carth will be enlarged wisely and yet energetically. I bave a sincere love for I exclude no section. I take into my affection and. respect all the states and all our people. | “In entering upon this campaign I ehall do 60 without malice toward any one. I think I have | sometimes been suspected of being very little of | a politician from the fact that I have never | drawn, inside my purty, personal lines. I have tried to treat every one with that respect to which his station entitled him and [ have never, in any case, suggested, mach less demanded, | personal loyalty from anybody. Lbave asked of all patie officers a faithful performance of their duty, Ihave felt great regret that I war unable to find a suitable place for every deserv- | ing friend, but I have insisted that I did not | disparage those I could not appoint to place. As Ihave had light and strength I have tried to discharge my duties for the public good. “L, tbatk you all for very many evidences of . I wish also. to express my ‘thanks with a heart that overflows with grati- tude faithful body of friends who have ‘deen so zgulous in my behalf, and, more than that, to that great body of well-disposed, order- loving, patriotic Americans who have alwa; and everywhere received me kindly.

It was 1:15 when the President and Door- | keeper Loefler went down stairs into the east room, where a big crowd was awaiting an op- unity to tell the President how glad it was that the Minneapolis convention had put him at the head of the ticket. Saturday's crowd is generally quite a large one; today it came very near fillin, g the east room.

He leaves a wife and three children. ‘The death of Col. Polk ik a severe loss to the Farmers’ Alliance and from the members of that body in Washington are heard many ex- pressions of regret over his sudden demise. Col. Polk was a man of fine appearance, with a large heart, a kindly nature and a frank dis- position that made a friend of every one he met. Ho was of great value to his party asa stump speaker, and was an able writer on of particular interest to the farmer.
