When Tennessce made his nomination cortain tre mendous cheers broke forth and the crowds &t the bulletin boards became frantio. They made a rush for Harrison's law office in Market street, shouting and waving hats, umbrellas and canes as they went. In an incredibly short space of time the broad trect was packed with thousands g! oxcited, cheering men, many of Whom rushed into Harrison’s office erowding around him and cheering themselves hoarse. The halls and rooms wore packed, and in front of the building were many people waving flags, hats, canes d handkerchicfs, A continuous stream of peeple passed around the gencral as he stood the center of the room. Iach man gave him a hearty shake of the hand, but many were too excited to give any expression of Reir foelings. Quite a number of General Harrison's por- gonal friends had been at his office during the fay, but ho was apparcntly the coolest per- pon present, opening and reading dispatches #nd aunouncing vheir contents in the calmest anner possible. When it became known on he eighth ballot that his nommation w Easurud fact those in the room beg: min- ap al Low great excitement, and when the fact of is nomination was announced they rushed round him with congratulations. Even then arrison was cool and collected, shaking very hand that was offered and giving a leasant word to each. In less thau five minutes the halls were e,"ed with a cheering crowd and the strect ith a dense mass of people. Amid tumultuous pplause General Harrison appearod at the ont window,bowing and waving his thanks 0 the crowd. The pressure of people in the rmm became so great that he was conducted nto an adjoining room, where he was forced fgain to appear on the balcony in response to he calls of the people. While the cheering outinued General Harrison’s carriage drove p Some friends accompanied him down tairs, the crowd fell back and he stepped nto his carringe and was driven away to his esidence amid tremendous choering. As General Harrison left his office to take his carriage and drive home he looked some- hat pale from the momentary excitement, ut his manuer was cool and collected. The rowd was auxious to haul his carriage. housands shouted: ‘“‘Take the horsesout,” nd a movement was made to do this, but riends interfered, the colored driver touched he horses with his whip and in & few min- tes thufiunnrnl was whirling on his way ome. He had hardly reached his hand- me residence in the northern part of the bity before people began to flock thither in ‘eat numbers, and the house and front yard ere soon filled with & crowded mass of men, women and children, all anxious to congratulate the candidate.

Hun- dreds of telegrams were recerved during the evening, showing an unprecedented enthu- siasm. —— THE BLAINIAC SCH The Plan Knocked Out By the Second Cablegram, Cuicaco, Juno 25.—Chairman Cooper, of the Pennsylvania state committee, who has all the time during the convention opposed Senator Avery in his offorts to nominate Sen- ator Sherman, to-night gave some interesting inside views of the Blaine movement, and says that last night the Blaine men had as- surancesof 600 votes in the convention and the plan to nominate Blaine to-day was fully arrauged. At that time the managers of tho Blaine movement had recoived the first of the eablegrams which were read in the con- vention to-day. It was decided to nominate Blaine notwithstanding this dispatch “This morning another conference was held, and it was definitely decided to force the nomination of Blaine on the fourth batlot to-day. This agreement was reached upon Cooper's own motion. It was also agreed that if this plan succoeded, of which tho managers had no doubt, to have the conven- tion adjourn and await a roply from Blaine, But bofore the convention met the second dispatch from Blaine was recoived and the scheme abandoned. It was agreed to throw the Blaimo vote to Harrison, which was done and resulted in his nomination. ot “BOWS TO THE VERDICT." The Chicago Tribune Will Support Harrison Reservedly. CuicaGo, June The Tribune to-mor- row morning will say: “It would be sheer hypocrisy on the part of the Tribuno to pre- tend that it thinks the convention placed .in nomination the strongest candidate, for its readers would not believe such an opinion sincere, What has been done is beyond recall, direction or change. There is nothing left for straight party men who had different first choices” but to make the best of it by supporting the nominee. The can- didate himself will be found to possess much to admire. He has belonged to the republi- can party since its organization and been wrue to its fundamental principle: He has voted its ticket, represented it in the senate and risked his life on the battlefield in defense of its principle: He s o man of clean character, highest conduct, correct morals, and intellectually an abler man than his competitor for the presidency. The dele- gated representatives of the v having selected General Harrison, the Tribune bows to the verdict of the convention and will give such support to the nominee as his record Further than this an honest al is not bound to go." This evening there will be a grand ratifi- cation meeting by the republicans of this city held at the Millard hotel, corner of Thir- teenth and Douglas strects, at 8 o'clock. At it will be crganized the firsy Harrison club in the United States. There will be present a number of excellent orators who will make short specches on the occasion, the candi- dates, the platform and the glorious chanc whiclh the party has for success in this cam- paign. This demonstration is made in ro sponsc to a number of uppeals from leading republicans in the city and, in attendance upon it, will be the Nebraska contingent now in Chicago. To add to the occasion, Walt Seeley was telegraphed as follows, by Major Clarkson and several other prominent republicans : Send all the flags immediately 10 us. Going to organize the first Harrison club, in the United States, to-morrow night, Rockets, torches, tireworks These trophies will reach here to-morrow evening and will be used to de the rotunda of the Millard, where the gathering witl take place. Jivery republican is invited to attend. The gathering will be an im wense one.

The meeting will be held in Exposition hall, Each club will also ret tes to the national convention of demo- tic clubs which is to be beld i Baltimore, inning on the Fourth of July, The rep. ssentation of clubs in the latter is as fol vs: Kive delegates for elubs of 100 mem- bers or less; seven for of 101 to 300; mmne for clubs of over 300, A Sister of the Nomince, Orrumwa, Towa, June & The nomination of Harrisou and Morton was received here with great enthusiasin and a salute of one hundred guns was fired by the operatives of the Ottumwa iron works. Poughlan’s drum corps was called out and hundreds of our citizens formed in line and marched to the residence of Mrs, Thomas Dovine, a sis ter of General Harrison, where congratula- tions were extended by the crowd to Mr Dovine.

WasniNeTox Bureav 1rie Omana Beg, 513 UTEENTI STRERT, Wasmixarox, D. C.,, June 25, There is a great and uni | satistaction in Washington to-night over the nomination meral Be arrison of Indiana and Levi P. Morton of New York to be president and vice president of the United States, The so- lection of General Harrison made it natural that Mr. Morton should have the second on the ticket. It is understood that as arranged at the time New York eled into line for the Indiana favorite. Morton, it is conceded adds great strength to the ticket. A grand sceno was presented in the house of representatives when the selection of Gen- cral Harrison was announced. Tnere wore about seventy-five republicans in their seats and lounging about the cloak rooms when the bulletin announcing the nomination of General Harrison was received. Instantly there was a rush on the floor and overy re- publican member took from his desk a hand- kerchief in the shape of the American flag, and springing upon their desks they waved the stars and strikes over their heads and yelled like mad, It was & perfect din. The people in the galleries flaunted their handkerchicfs and joined the flood of voices on the floor. Business was suspended for fully three min- utes and when the cheering on the floor died out it was taken up in the corridors, wafted over to the senate and out on the streets. The people about the bulletin bourds throughout the city were thrown into the wildest excite- ment. About 6 o'vlock members of the National Republican league planted cannon on the White lot immediately south of the exec- utive mansion and fired thirty-nine guns, one for every state in the union, including the state of Dakota. Allof the gentlemen in Washington whose numes were presented to the convention for the nomination hearti endorse the work of the convention and pre dict success. Senator Sherman was greatly disappointed but he was soon thimself and declared the nomination to be first class and predicted success. He will givo every support he can to the ticket. Senator Allison shows himself to be the good and true man and loyal republican tha I have always told Tur Beg readers he was, ‘When I saw him just after the announcement ment that Harrison was the nominee, he said: “Harrison is a grand, good, able man and his nomination s extremely and peculiarly strong. I am glad that our state voted for him and I am sure our people will join me in helping to bring about success.’’ General Hawley is very much pleased over the nomination and is delighted with the fact that Connecticut was early wheeled into line and joined the solid phalanx of doubtful states to bring about the nomination. He says that it is especially significant that all of the doubtful states were the first to pro- claim for Harrison. He holds that this makes it obligatory upon them to turn in their electoral votes for the republican nom- inees. I have interviews in my hand to-night with every prominent republican in Washington, aggregating over one hundred and fifty, and from them I send T4 those touching the salient points inv d in the nomina- tion: 1 rsent Senator Ingalls and then members Pacific slope, who hav, T quicted what there may be said of C son’s sounduness on the Chi- nes Sex 1s, president pro tempore of the senate, “I prefer not to make any obsc at this time.

It secures beyond question the electoral vote of Indiana for the repub- lican ticket next November and will enable the full republican vote of New York to be polled for our ticket, and when this ticket _is done the electoral vote of the Empire state will be republican.
