So thoroughly is it over that the battle field shows few traces of the late terrific combat. The dead have been carried off and the wounded are apply- ing the salve of philosophy to their wounds. The immense crowd which watched the fray from seats, strects and lobbies has melted away like frost before the sun, leaving no trace of its past presence excent a warm spot in the hearts of hotel und saloon keepers, ‘street fakirs and badge peddlers, Now that triumphant marches are being played in In- dianapolis and no sound breaks the political silence here, occasion is presented to briefly review the contest whick has just ended. IT WAS NOT WITHOUT FRATURES of peculiar interest, The first was the over- powering influence of Mr. Blaine's follow- ing. In spite of his two letters of Aaglina- tion, straightforward and a8 they w the men who ¥ oved that he could not decline a wuon, if it should be forced upon him, controlled the destinies of the convention from the ontset and at the end dictated the nominee. Divided as they were in councils, the Pacific coast believing in forcing the fight from the start, and the cast, preferring a waiting game, they were yet stronger thun any possible combination which could be made against them. Opposed was & magnificent field, all of whom had reserves and splendid confidence. Sherman, with his 250 votes, largely grarnered from the south; Gresham, with all [llinois and Chicago und scattered votes from Connceticut to Colorado; Allison, ‘with his great state at Lis back, the ave ved second choice of a large number of delegates, and Alger with the Grand Army of the Re- public, the Logan following, Powell Clayton and the colored troops behind him, were all prominent fuctors which declined to be elim inated by combination or retreat. From the outset HARRISON of politica HELD TIE VANTAGE GROUND expediency and geographical position. The Gresham candidacy and the hostility of the Pacitic const scemed, up to last, insuperable obsticles to his stic The oue was worn out and the second was frightened out through fear of Sher mun, ‘ihe Blaine dispatch finally threw down the last barrier and gave t didatc who lead at the moment the victory. The other candidates were never seriously in the field. Depew's name was used 1o hold to gether New York from Sherman, just Witler, of Philadelphin, was used as o Bla stalking horse by Editor Charies Kumor Swmith, THE BLAINE CONTINGENT devoted all their efforts to beating the candi- dutes in detail and wearing out the conven- tion, Sherman was the first to be forced back by an unpardonable blunder of his friends in cons ng to an adjournmeut ut the moment it was believed that he had shown his full strength, He rallied his troops on Sunday under promises of reserves from the other candidutes, when Hurrison's friends were admitting defeat and luying the wircs for Gresham, But the Pacific const, whose horror of Sherman amonnts almost to insunity, and who saw « formidable combination in his favor, turncd the day. Knocked breathiless on the'seventh Dallot by Blaine's dispateh, they swing into line for Harrison, gave the signalto the Blaine following AND THE BATTLE WAS OVER, The tast desperate resort of Sher, Jowers—a combination against Harrison—wus defeated by o union forces against which the combi been dirceted singly.

They attempted to monopolize Chicago and put a blanket mortgage on public sentiment ‘hey abused Harrison like a pickpocket in the public press, and outr: W York by assailing the personal integrity of its favor ite. They stuck the knifo into Mr, Blaine’s friends and predicted bulkmg and universal disuster 1f t fuyorite wis de feated. As a result Gresham was the first to drop out of the race. He never ran u fight- ing chance after the fivst ballot Senator Allison's friends made friends everywhere, They appreciated — from the " beginning ~the ddlicultics of tien positon.” With strong reasons to ex pect a large part of Sherman's following when he loft the field and with wa ances from the friends of My, } their ultimate action, they still 1 1wo fuctors were against the cloice of their favorite.

It will be seen that Blaine's unwise friends, headed by Elkins, Boutelle and Manley and the Califoruia delegation, held the key to the situation, They kept it i their pocket until the supreme moment ard then unlocked the door for a candidate whom uot three hours previously they had been pr th would never support.

Great as is such distinction under any circum- stances it is more flattering and profound when 1t is remembered that you have been selected as your own successor to an office the duties of which, always oncrous, have been rendered of an extraordimarily’ seusi- tive, dificult and delicate nature because of the change of political parties and methods, after twenty-four years of uninterrujpted domination. i ion is, if possible, added to by the fact that the declaration of principles based upon your late messace to the congress of the United Stated relative to 4 tariff reduction and diminution of expenscs overnment, throws down the direct and defiant challenge for an e the administration of executive power which four years awo w nitted to its trust by eleciing Grover Cleveland president of the United States, nnd for the most searching in- quiry concerning its fidelity and devotion to the pledges which then invited the suffrages of the people. An engrossed copy of that platform, ndopted without a dissenting voice, is herewith tendered to you. We have the honor to be your obedient servants, [Signed by all the members of the committee.

With all that has assed since that day I can truly say that the feeling of awe with which I heard the sum- mons then, is intensified wany fold when this is repeated now. Four years ago 1 knew that our chief execut oftice if not carcfully guarded might drift little by little from the people, to whom it belonged, and become a perversion of all it aught to'do; but I did not know how much its mooring ready had been loosened. I knew four years ago, how well devised were the principles of true democracy for the suceessful operation of a crnment by the people and for people, but I did not know absolutely necessary their plication then was to the restoration to the people of their safety and prosperity, I kunew that abuses aud extrava had crept into the managenent of pub; ¢ but I did not kuow their num the tenacity of their grasp.

Its record is open to every citizen of the land. And yet Iwill not be denied the privilege gof asserting at this time that in the exercise of the functions of the high trust confided to me I have yielded obedience only to the [constitution and the solemn obligation of my oath of office.

No speeclies were 1 but there were many personal introductions and much handshaking. At dusk a double saiute of cannon was fired and there was a general illuminatio by natural gas and electric lights. A ratitication meeting had been called in the largest hall of the city and this was pre- ceded by a great outpouring of people. A further installment of Chicago pilgrims came on the late train, arviying at 8 o’clock p.m. By this time the streets were ablaze with natural gas illuminations, several arches and pyramids of fire shooting their flames in the air. The sidewalks were even more crowded than last night, and the con- fused din and cheering and horn blowing was continuous. The crowds surged to and fro in a good-natured way, shouting for Harrison and Morton. The mass meeting at Tomlinson hall was called to order at 8 o'clock by Chairman Griffin of the state central committee. ‘Chere were several thou- sand present, M made a speech deserib- ing scenes in the convention and the efforts by which Harrison was nominated.

Robertson and Hon. Johm T. Griftiths of this city. All the speakers were vocifer- ously cheered and every allusion to the names of Harrison and Morton was loudly applauded.

Among those who affected the general were about fifty survivors of his old regiment, accompani by sowe of the One Hundred' and Tiwen ninth Illinois, which formed part of his brigade. They were introduced by Major Grubbs, and in response General Harrison said: Comrades: Called as I have been by the national convention of one of the great po- litical parties of this country to be its candi- date for the presidency, it will probably be my fortune before ne election to receive miny delcgations representing he various interests und classez of our fellow citi- zcus, but I am sure that out of them all there will come none whose coming will toueh my heart as this visit from my comrades of the tieth Indiana and the scattered member other regiments that constituted the First brigade of the Third division of the Twen- ticth army corps.

O'Brien's Wonderful Speech in the House of Commons. THE GOVERNMENT'S BRUTALITY. The Administration of the Crimes Act Scathingly Arraigned —A Couatry Member Demolished By the Grand Old Man, Words of Fire. [Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpoy, June 20.—[New York Herald Cable— —If the nation- alist party, English and Irish, felt that the debate went against them yesterday they were determined to score heavily to-night. Their big guns were brought into play at an carly hour and it cannot be denied that they produced considerable commotion. William O'Brien is now about the most ef- fective speaker in the Parnellite ranks. There is more passion and fire in him than in Parnell or Sexton, more sustained declam- atory force than in John Dillon. It is said by those who know best that scarcely any man is mow so powerful in Ircland. At any rate, when he arose this after- noon to addr the house he was received with a great outburst of cheering, and it was some moments before a word he uttered could be heard. He began ina calm, measured tone,but had not proceeded far before a great change vassed over him, The river soon over- flowed its banks. Colonel Sande son's speech last nizht was disguised with a few half contemptuous word and a solemn reminder that whatever it may have been in the past the government of Ire- land is now no laughing matter. Then the storm burst on J. Russell’s devoted head. O'Brien referred to the use which Russell made last night of boycotting Norah Fitz Maurice. 1 could not help thinking,” he exclaimed ina voice which thrilled with emotion and sent an involuntary thrill through the house, “how many thousand Norah Fitz Maurices have been flung out into the gutter to die or to meet astill worse fate in the streets of New York and other American cites by the landlords of Ircland.” Prolonged cheering greeted this sentence uttered with the gleaming eyes and pallid fa the speaker himself evidently being under the strongest excitement, Ho was trembling all over. Some one told me who sat near him and we coald all see and feel the profound earnestness of the man. Onward he went fascinating his own friends and compelling a reluctant tribute of admiration from the tory benches where at least unbroken silence prevailed. Gladstone bent forward listening cagerly to every word. Harcourt condescended to lend an attentive ear. From pomt to point O'Brien advanced until he came to the role and there the in- stinct of the audience suggested that he was on exceedingly dangerous ground. He spoke of the government skulking over the role to get its arm reinforced by the holy inquisition—for thus he styles the va can—and his Irish’ friends cheered, but 1 fancy they were retieved when he made a sudden turn from the roie to Ireland. Then he discharged poisonous at Lord Massarcne, denouncing as he declared Sir Redevers had done, as a pro! te drunken s “Those be your gods, O Isracl,” he ex- claimed in a bitter tone. “These are the men whom you delight to honor while you put the felow's garb on John Dillon.”. Again a burst of cheering compelled him 1se, He defended the campaign and tempest of wrath scemed to fall on the head of its assailunts, Finally he made another savage lunge at the iberal—unionists. The government he said would not be beaten by the liberal—unionists and T, W.Russell[Hear, hear]. O'Brien went on to v the liberal— union- ists were living in a condemned cell and they would naturally vote now for the abolition of capital punishment, or at least for the post- ponement of the fatal day. A glowimg peror: tion declaring Ireland’s undying faith in her cause, brought to a conclusion one of the mwost magnificent pieces of declar on to which I have ever listened, Mr. Chaplin, a representative of the tory agricultural int rests, followed a long wi oft. Itwas like a country wagon jolting along after an ess train just flashed past. The house speedily thinned and re- mained balf empty till Mr. Gladstone ro: when another dramatic scene occurred, Chaphn had levelled some heavy and awk- ward sarcasm at the liberal veteran on account of his age. They scemed to be in abomin able taste, but that perhaps is Chaplin's af- fair, Mr. Gladstone thought proper to al- ludle to them and he did 80 in a way which Chaplin is not likely to forget, He said that undoubtedly he felt in some respects the en- cronchment of age, but noped that for the little while yet—here a wild burst of cheer: ing stopped him, and he stood at the table und dignified, in a manner yet con- ting Lis antagonist with all the courage of youth—*1 shall beabie for thatlittle while I hope,” he went on with withe in his looks and voic with antagonists of the calil honorable gent T suy with what and this thoroughly parl r, et ing re- tort, wus received by the house, nor was the laugh by any means confined to the liberal benches, This wonderful old wan then continued for over an hour and a halfl analyzing arguments, discussing the de- cisions of courts, pulling resident magistrates 10 pieces, and calling Balfour and Goschen to account for what they have 8aid The atmosphiere was excessively Torrents of rain were fulling on . but no tresh nu through the open winde seemed totry Mr. Gladston marvelous that he was ument o the end, He wiped the | n from his head till handker rolled up into a but never lost his grip case was presenting to showed no sign of that failure with which Chaplin had so ungenerously re proached bim, At lust he sat down, every- body fecling relieved that so great an effort essfully to an end.

His sarcasms flow out in showers and greatly delighted all on his own side even while they were not much relished on the other. The house was denscly packed.

ST Prrersnvre, June 20.—The Novoo Vremya, commenting on Emperor William's speech, says: It is an evident protest against the charge of bellicose chauvinism that has been made against the emperor and shows a desire to maintain the best relations with Russia.

THE CANDIDACY OF BLAINE The Ohio Statesman Thinks [t Worked Injustice to Open Aspirants—A Platform Remarkablo For Strength and Clearnes A Candid Expression. WasnixaTox Buneau Tie OsMAna Bra, 513 FOURTEENTIL STRER WasiiNaToN, D, C.. June 20, Senator Sherman was asked to-day what e thought of the makeup of the Chicago convention and its conclusions, He replied that he did not know that it was proper for him to make any comments on that subject, inasmuch as his name had been presented before the convention, discussed and balloted upon, but that he was now a free American again and that, viewed in that light, he t‘o\lld. not sce anything improper about his making some observations, He began by saying that the convention was a very marked and able body and was the master of itself from or- ganization to adjournment; that it was not casily stampeded and that it proceeded with great deliberation from the beginning to the end. I think the platform,’ said the senator, “is the best statement of principles by a po- litical party that 1 ever read. It is clear, concise and there is no evasion or avoidance in it. 1t’s a muld announcement of the objects and aims of the republican party. In com- parison with the democratio platform it stands in about as striking contrast as the acts of the republicans for the last thirty years stand with those of the democratio party. Thereare a few things about the convention that are worthy of comment. The exclusion of the regular delegation from Virginia was an act of injustice. Mahone and his delegates represent nine-tenths of the republicans of Virginia, including more than 50,000 confederate soldiers in the white counties of that state, They had gradually gained control of the large majority of the white counties which of Congress, all but one of whom are now repre- sented by several members are friends of Mahone, If the convention had understood the real facts in Virginia it would not have rejected the Mahone —dole- gates, The quarecl between Wise and Ma- hone was very unfortunate. 13oth men are | temper, of excellent character and good republicans. “The convention met with another diffi- culty,” continued Senator Sherman, “by b ing under the stadow of a candidacy of” Mr. Blame, but which was not announced, He has a creat following in the republican party and would have been nominated without dis- sent. He would have conducted a_campaign to reverse the eleetion of Grover Cleveland. Tor reasons known to himself he declined to be a candidate, yet his followers made him a candidate from the beginning of the conven- tion. This rejection of Malione, every at- tompt to organize and every ballot was affected by his supp ed can- didaey. If he had been openly named as a eandidate and taken the chances like the rest of us, it would have ap- peared that he could not have been nomi- nated—uot on aceount of opposition to hiwm, but for prudential reasons. His followers insisted that every candidate should success- jvely cncounter the ficld, expeeting would fail to get the requisite majority of all the votes so that no one would be Jeft to oh- jeet to the nomination of Blaine, They were Dot willing to submit him to this test, The votes of s followers were, whether by in- tent or uot, carcfully distributed, some to vote for him ou each ballot and to prevent an agrecment, aud this created irritation and bud blood,” Hereafter in future conventions no votes should be counted except for ,persons openly and frankly announced as candidates. The theory of the nomina- tions made was that the doubtful states » to furnish the candidates and upon this ory the persons living in repRblican states were discriminated against. The New Yorlk wtion practically dictated both nomina- tions and did not consider the vote for any person not a resident of those states, To this theory the convention unwillingly yielded, [sincerely hope that the election will show that it is the correct theory, Both Har nd Morton are gentlemen of high o .~ zood republicans and ought to clected; but whether thy theory of theig sclection wis . correct one will be best judged by vesults. [ have known Harrison intiately for six yows, We satside by side and 1 know him to able, consistent, and _thorough Morton is also un able financ liberal republican and 1 believe very popu- Jar in New York, It goes without saying that T will do all that Vean to sceure their cleetion, 'They have been fairly nominated, and arc entitled o the support of every hon- orable mun who particinated in the conven tion, and cvery republican who is in favor of the principlos set out in the platform, The real issue 18 not persons but principles; pro- tection against free trade, an honest vote weainst cheating and forgery. The cam- paign will undoubtedly be conducted upon high grounds.” MISCELLANEOUS, By direction of the sec Pri- vate Jumes Pollard, company C, Eleventh infuntry, now with his company at Fort Ontario, N.
