It will not go into the campaign with a ‘“kangaroo ticket.” + Ir will be as enthusiastic a campaign as the “old log cabin” days when the Rero of Tinpecanoe was clected pres dent of the United States.

In the storm which swept through the con- tion at the mention of his name, he stood calmand unmoved as the adamna tine vock. His unshaken determination has won for him the unbounded admi tion of his party, and has forever dis armed his enemi INDIANA will be no uncertain factor atthe November election.

Seven ballots were for the successful nomination, in which Huayes veceived 384, Blaine 851 and Bris- tow 21, The convention of 1858 started off with ustrong favorite in Sherman and astrong field, consisting of Harrison, Gresham, Allison, Alger and Depew. On the eighth ballot neral Harrison was nominated by a vote of 544, The longest convention was the one held in Chicago in 1880, when thirty-six bal- lots were necessary to choose Garfield as the standard bearer. This was the memorable oceasion when Grant's famous old guard of * ? stuck to him without flinching during the thirty-six ballots. The convention of 1884 was short and decisive. Blaine was nomin- ated on the fourth ballot by a vote of necessury The Standard Boarers. The nomination of General Benjamin Harrison by the republican national convention on the eighth ballot was an unexpoected result. The circumstances leading %o it constitute an interesting chapter in the history of one of the most prolonged and memorable politieal con- ventions ever held in this country. The movement for Harrison, that advanced him from the fifth to the second place and held him there until he was nom- inated, developed on Friday evening immediately following the withdrawal of Mr. Depew. When the New York candidate stopped out of the race the rumor obtained that nearly all the delegates of that state would vote on the next ballot for Harrison, and the alarm thus created among the supporters of other candidates united them in sustaining a motion to adjourn. The first ballot on Saturday, and the fourth taken, showed a gain for Harrison of 122 votes, but on the next ballot he lost four votes, and when the convention adjourned on Sat- urday there were 204 votes botween him and the nomination. The concensus of opinion was that he had received the highest vote he would get, and that new combinations would be made during Sunday that would shut him out. The sixth and soventh ballots yesterday, however, showed that the Harrison strength had not only been maintained, but slightly increased. The dispatches from Mr. Blaine, demanding that his friends should respeet his wishes, put an end to the plottings of the persistent Blaine element and oper- ated to the advantage of the Indiana candidate. It wasclear that Sherman could not be nominated. His strength was on the decline, and there was no reason to suppose it could be restored. All that was necessary to the success of Harrison was the hdrawal of one of the prominent candidates,and when Al- lison dropped out the victory of the In- dianian was assured. It followed on the next ballot, and the enthusiasm with which the convention made the nomin- ation unanimous attested that the result was generally satisfactory. The friends of Harrison had made a fair and gallant fight, and in their victory they have nothing to explain or defend. General Harrison will be a strong candidate, and we predict that before the campaign is far ad- vanced republicans everywhere— those on the Pacific coast equally with those of other sections—will be earnest in his support. His record is as clear and honorable as that of any man in the country, and as the leader of the vepub- lican party in Indiana, holding that position undisputed as the successor of Oliver P. Morton, he has done vali 1 able in the republic He won distinction as a soldier, the defenders of the union have 1 no warmer or more consistent friend. Asalawyerheisin the front rank of the bar of Indiana, and his pro- fessional fame not confined to his own state. In the United States sens from 1831 to 15887 he took n active part in the discussion of all leading questions, and his ability received national recognition. The outrageous gerrymander of the demo- cratic legislature of Indiana defeated him for re-election, and he was the is- sue in that state in 1856, He fought at the head of the republican forces, and the result wasa republican plurality of over three thousand, though two ye before the state gave a plarality for Cleveland of over six thous splendid evidence of the popularity of General Harrison and of his vigor skill as aleader. Inthe bro: that now opens tohim hissuperi of leadership will doubtless shown to greater advantage. In the selection of Levi P. Morton, of ew York, for the second place the convention showed a judicious appreciation of the importance of hav- ing the Empire state represented on the ticket. There is no more popular service tie be publican in New York than Mr. Morton, and he will undoubtedly bring to the ticket the full supportof the party in that state, as Arthur did in 15880. Al- though without large experience in public life, Mr. Morton is a man of scholarly attainments and fully quali- fied to discharge the not very exacting duties of the vice presidentinl office. As the American minister to France during the administration of President Arthur he acquitted himself most cred- itably in all respects, M. Morton always been an ardent republican, and has done good work for the party, He been regarded as a devoted fricnd of . Blaine, but his course has been such as not to give offense to any class of publicans in New Yorl He will con- sequently have no *tional opposition in that state, and may be expected to draw support outside of the party. We believe that on thoughtful de- liberation the great majority of vepub- licans will conclude that the prolonged labors of the national convention could not have had, under all the ecircum- stances, o more satisfactory resalt, and of those who doubt the wisdom of the choice—and of course there are such— we have no doubt that most of them will heartily fall into line as the battle pro- gresses. It was a fair contest s0 far as General Harrison was concerned, The has been no charge of improper or unwarrantable meth- ods made against Lim or his friends. No republican can therefore vefuse to vote for him on the ground that his nomination was not fairly and honora- bly obtained., Aud after all it is not so much the candidates that republicans are called tipon to consider as it is the principles they stand for. Those who approve the platform of the party need not hesitate in endorsing the candi- dates. We have no doubt Harrison will carry Indiana, and if the republicans of other states rally in force to the support has of the ticket the chanoces of success will be exceedingly favorable. THERE is some oriticism, not alto- gether unjust, upon the summary way in which the police judge disposes of most of the cases that daily come before him, The average number of police court cases is estimated at not less than sixty a day, and to the majority of these the court does not give a hearing to exceed three minutes cach. On one day last week cighty-four cases were disposed of in three hours, giving to each case an av- erage of two minutes and twelve soc- onds. This is expediting business with a vongeance, and while it may be true that very many of the deunks, disorder- iies, and other small offenses that go to the police court do not call for more attention than is usually given them, it is also true that there is danger in such haste of in- flicting punishment that is not required in the interests of justice, or where o little investigation would warrant tho court in tempering justice with merey. There is no question as to the efficiency of Judge Berka, and no fault can be found with his disposition to fearlessly administer the law, but judicial servico in a police court is very apt to harden the heart of a man and drive sentiment and sympathy out of his nature. Daily contact with the unfortunate carries him farther and farther away from the iden that there may be any mitigating circumstances for the folley or misfor- tune of the people who are brought un der his jurdiction. That aman is to have been drunk or disorderl) enough, and without giving the unfor- tunate time to explain the circum- stances of what was perhaps his fiest v olation of law, he is sent off to share the deserved punishment of repeated and confirmed law breakers. Obviously a practice that summarily disposes of cases in an average time of little more than two minutes to each, cannov fail to sometimes result in unnecessary hard- ship to individuals without any bencfit to the cause of justice. If the duties of the police judge are excessive, com- pelling him to rush the work presented daily for Lis attention, some way should be found to relieve him, but in any event it does not appear necessary that the police court of Omaha should scek to make a champion record for speed in its line of business. THE tempest in the tea-potis over. The mayor made a fizzle; Hascall sumed the roll of bulldozer; the council vindicated itself to its own satisfaction, and the words ‘‘undue influences” re- main unexplained. Of all the charges and investigations that have taken place before the council, the one just ended was by all odds the most farcical. The facts are known to everybody t city contractors, especially Fannming & vin do notlive up tothe terms of their stipulations. In this matter the zeal of the mayor and the chairman of the board of public worksare to be com- mended and supported in their attempts to bring these contractors to terms in the face of a council notoriously careless to the city’s interests end p tial to contractors. But it may be que: tioned it Mayor Broatch acted pru- dently in the course he has taken, To ny the least the choice of his word “undue influences,” in his communic: tion to the council were unfortunate. They put him in a tight box out of which he has squirmed with difliculty.

The para graph is this: “The first favorite was never heard of, the second favorite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-one were in the race, and a dark horse which had never been thought of rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph.” Tho phrase is so aptly descriptive of the exact sit- uation that it has been transferred from the race-course to the nominating convention to illustrate that its application is recognized without a word of explanation.

The tre- mendous strain of that struggle on the leaders of the 806 can never be ex- pressed in words, but it has appeared in deeds more or less tragic and all of a texture to fix the place of all three in American history as the most deter- mined political fighters who ever stood up together in a convention. Conkling never recovered from the defeat, Cameron never let on that he had heen defeated, and Logan, unlike Conkling, whose anger struck in, was capable of throw- ing off his rage through the medium of a most remarkable power of painting lurid word pictures with colors not ad- missible into the literary art galleries of the language. An incident that il- lustrates Logan’s power of colloquinl in- veetive was related to me the other day. 1t happened that one afternoon when General Logan entered the Palmer house during a recess of the convention he was accosted on the steps by some one, who said: **Well, gen- eral, how is it going?” “Grant will be nominated to-night,” said Logan, taking off his hat and throwing back his black hair with a de- fiant gesture. *Oh, no, general, you are a little overconfldent.” said another. This vemark seemed to nettle the man from “Egypt,” and he turned upon the speaker, his eyes flashing, and shouted, **I'll bet a thousand dollars on it.” I'll take that bet,” snid a_quiet voice in the outskirts of the crowd. “Come to parlor Q in half an said Logan,edging off,as his anta seemed bent on a show of cash on spot. !J’ruum(l.\' in half an hour a man with a cance in his hand knocked the door of purlor Q and asked for General Lo- gan. “Who wants to see me?"” asked Logan in the thoroughly pacific tone of a man who is sceking delegates, I'do. Iam theman who bet $1,000 with you on General Grant's nomin tion. I have brought my money.” The stranger shifted his cané to his left arm and laid a modest $1,000 bill on his palm. Logan was nonplused for a minute, and then hke a flash seemed to conclude that a grand charge all along the line was the only thing that would re him from 'his exposed position. turned upon the would-be better poured a perfect torrent of abuse and swear words upon him, winding up by calling him a **skin gambler from togn Springs.” The scene was terrifie, and the more the stranger protested that he was a respectable man and had come by invitation of Logan to make a wager the londer Black wek became and the further off the seemed from the mind of ecither, for the stranger put way his money and iet loose a voice and scorehing longue that were md only to Logan’s. They were finally sep- ited and no bet was made. Four years afterwards the gentleman who told me this story, having removed from Indiana to Minneapolis, was asked to address a Seventh ward meeting, and complicd with the request. Whomhe entered the hall another gentleman was speaking whose tones were somehow fa- miliar, and as they rode back to town together he said to his acquaintance: “Aren’t you the skin gambler from wogn Springs that Jack Logan roastedd formed, hour nist the was v, “but T hay lvans. was in the room at the time, and I have wondered since if | should eve ain mect tne man who blufted Jack Logan.” - Drink Malto at soda fountain, ans. 1 ves o Ravishing.) ¢ 1y Fair Skin. ) is fnstantlyappli —no Detection A PORTABLE ICEBERG —— e The [uvention of an Omaia Man to Keeg Cool. 3 Only Sixty Degrees the Warmost Doy A Boon for Fleshy Men During the Summer A gontleman of thia city, taking the wel known principle that the 18 pld evaporation o liquids proluces intense ruh\. has invented a o vice to be worn on the Y.mh hereby sefficient cold 18 produced under his clothing to keep hi; body i an agreeabls tomperature contintally, The apparatus consists of a flat rubber tube surrounding his body, under his vest, or in fact can be incorporated with the va»l‘whlch is usod to contain the vapor of tho volatile liquld, ana keeps temperature down to 80 = Farenheit unden all ciroumstances, There aro two small cylindors_attached to his 1imbs entirely invisible, one producing and kesn 11 & partial vacuum h the fiat rubber tiby while the other condenses and compresses the vapor of the volatile liquid to bo used ove again, These cylinders are connected to a small flat reservolr about the size of a small pookets book also attached to the rest, for the storing ot about a teacupful of the volatile liquid. Every movement of the body causes the pistons of the r%’\lmlurs to move, producing evaporation and of course cold, there 1s no loss of volatile liquid, as it 1s evaporized and condensed over and over again, Theaparatus is entirely automatio, as the more a mau exorts himself the more cold he Dproduces, The inventor, o very fleshy man, who alwa hias suffered a great deal i1 summer, has one in constant use, ana says that during the past fow days hias been as comfortable as ho could deaire, & man could wear his winter clothes, or 1o facta heavy overcoat during one of our hottest d‘? and yet be perfectly comfortable, The inventfod will soon be put vponthe market, but the ties interested desire to fully cover every featura of the invention by patents before offering it to the public. The writer of the above, in company With Mr Chrrles Ryau, of South Omuha, Witness- 5 ed the practical workings of the inyention. The writer believed the inventor to Dethe greatest ot benefactors to the human race, when Mr Ryan sald ho knew a greater ono, Ho argued from this standpoint, and told the follows ing atory—*1 had been suffering for 8 or 4 years Wwith an afféction of the nose and throat, and I was continually blow ing my hose or inserting my fin- gorinto the nos- trils to relleve it, T often felt a sensation of {ntense ftehing n my nose, which was extremely sensative to changes of temperatur senso of smell was blunted, my_ breath occasionally impure, which ofter reidered me very unhappy. 1'would some. times get Crusts out of my 1nose often tinged with blood, andin the morning tough mucus from the upper part of my throat, I had consid- erable pain overmy eyesand frontal hoadache agreat deal, My appetite was variabls owing to the condition of my throat, making me sick to 1y stomach; about three mouths ago 1 went to 500 Dr, McCoy, who told me T had_atraphio or dry catarrh, and said although it was curable, itivould take time and patience to overcome {t, 1 hiad confidence inhim and was satistied with I price, which was very rensonablo, Iis treat: ment has exceedod my expectations. today my trouble is o thing of the pst, my nose fecls nae tural and moist, my smell {mproved, no more crusts, no headddhe, can_eat well, and in fact teel like a different person.
