Tho end is precisely as predicted for nearly a week in these dis- patches. It was the field and not Blaine against the president and the fleld was de- feated by an overwhelming majority. Blus- ter and braggadocio, intrigue and chicanery, combination of the ublest practical politi- clans of prominence, the altempt at the last moment to introduce a dark horse in the race, all met ignowinious e esrthrow. The Harrison torces never faltered fiom the outset. They gained in strength in the face of opposition and finally wrested victory from tho wrasp of a confident esterie of leaders who threw over their avowed 1dol at the last moment in the fruiticss hope of se- curlng the president’s defeat The eund of singularly verifies all the theories of the president’s supporters. 1t clinches the oft made state- mont that tho so-calld ana loudly advertised Blaine boom was a heartless and faithless attempt to use the nameof the greut ropublican leader to accomplish personal re- venge. The parading procossions, the bel- Jowing bands, the flaunted flazs and pendu- lous plumes wero shams and known to be so by those who wero only disturbing the po- litical atmosphere by such means in tho hope of baving discovered & new pariisan rain prompter. McKinley and His Hopes. The expected deluge did not come and the McKinley ark will never reach tha repub- lican Mount Ararat. One of the most pathetic foatures of this bitter strugglo is tho use made of Jawes G. Blaine’s namo to promoto political revenge to sootho individ- ual disappointment. Tho great leader, dragged on by unwise friends and former enemies, working behind conscienceless flat- tery, now rounds his career with unmorciful defent by republican votes in a convention from which be sought no recogmtion and whose suffrages hLo 8o recently and emphat- ically declined. He was never a possibinty. His loudest boomers were always ready to drop bim for anyone who could draw greater couvention sirength, and before a single ballov was taken more than half of those who had been predicting his choice ignomniously deserted bim on tho field of action. The result forever removes Mr, Blaine from the political chess bourd. Ho was traded fora pawn ut thoout- set, Hundreds of thousands of republicans will fecl a sense of bitter mortification that thewr former leader should, In his lutter dags, bave fallen into such hand: A Major McKinley's® action 1n permitting bimself to be used in the final attempt to defeat tho president is inexplicable, The intriguo must have been kuown to bim yesterday. It was openly manifested by the first voto cast fn the couvention. It devel- oped in all its fullness when Foraker throw the Ohio delecation to him. A faint dissent was his only answer, Not True to this Friends. His election in Ohlo was chiefly due to the work of the president's friends. Ho came to Minneapolis an ayowed advocate of the presi- dent’s renomnation with the loudly heralded fntention of taking off his coat in Mr, Har- rison’s interests, Ho ended by calmly band- ling the gavel and keeping silence while his banner was being used to rally the forces of the president's enemies. A bold und manly refusal to permit the use of his name, an Indigount protest against tactics which caunot but cast suspicion on his good faith, an carnest ploa for political fair play, such as he made in the Cnicago vouvention of 1888, would bave put bimon a piunacle of populanity, sud inline for further political nonors, But he did none of these things, and went down to defeat with poor Blaive as an unsuccessful and discredited element of o poorly planned and badly managed piece of political intrigue. Murrison's from the Start. The convention was held el in hand by the Harrison ferces from the start. It was mawtalned in control at the outset agalust an adversy national commnitee on credeu- tials, There was never a moment after the permanent organization wheu the presidet's supporters were uot certain of 100 votes more than was needed to nominate. Their struggle was ouly one of adhesion. ‘U'beir chief fight was for prompt action. Last night's sossion proved that the Harri- son forces could neither be cajoled uor stampeded. Tuo two votes takeu were abso- luto tests which were more than verified by tho results of today. The Lwo desperate charges of opposition at midoight rolied back from unbroken lines, Toe wild yells of today, the shriekiog 1 vote was: 183 1-6; Binine, 175 1-6; Reed, 4; Lincoln, 1. d the convention took a recess till 8 p. m. telaw Reld of New York was named for vice president by acela- At 3:15 o'clock the roll onll of states on the first ballot Texas was reached it was apparenc that Harrison, 534 2-3; McKinley, Governor McKinloy moved to make the ointed, and the convention ndjourned sine die, galleries, the howling of the disappointed and the demonstrations of an excited muiti- tude made no impression on the phalanx on the floor below. Mr. Harrison was practically nowinated beforo tho ballot was half concluded and the McKinley bomb- shell fell, fizzled, shattered and was ex- tinguished, only to be rolled out of the eon- vention hall at the finish with few caring enough to give it a passing and a parting glance. Detalls of the Final Struggle. Tho intorest of the conventfon concen- trated in the last day and a half. Tho bottle royal began at midnight last night. The final_ struggle cozsumed five hours of today. The forlorn hope fightink for delay gave up_the contest on the ques- tion adopting of the majority report of tho committee on credentials tho first thing this morning and thus acquiesced in au immedi- ate ballot. Thoy wore supremely confident that tho McKinley move would win, although Governor Gear of Iowa and others insistod that the agricultural uorthwest could never swallow Slelinloy as a candi te. The nominating speeches which followed were admirable, They all renched the high- est mark. Wolcott's was the apothesis of stump speaking, Chauncey M. Dopew's was polished, forcible, eloguent and epigram- matic. Tae wonderful versatilo New Yorker was never moro at his best in thought, in phrase, in action. The scenes accompanying were thrilling aud dramatic. Tho galleries were uncontrolable, Women led the applause with shrill shrioks and rythmic beating of the air with parasols, Delegates joied tho clamor which the band could not. down. Even tho press platform joined. When the end camo, there was anothor scoue of wild lunacy and enthusiasm,followed by adjournment for recess, Whitelaw Reid’s nomination was the ro sult of Mr. Morton’s further dsinclination forpublic life and a desire to recognize a working republican who had much to do with furthering the policy of the administra- tion abroud for the extension of the foreizn market for American agricultural products. 1t wus a happy choice and went through by acclamation. "o ticket will commend itself to tho con servative interests of the country and will grow overy day from now until the election in November. ‘The Nebraska delegation today cast votos for Hurrison and 1 for McKinley, the solitary one being Warnor of North Platte. Tho test vote last night upon the adoption of the report of the com- mittee on crodentials showed six Nebraska votes presumably auti-Harrison and willing to evidence it in an indirect way, Those wero dohn L. and E. D. Webster, Loran Clark, Warner, Scott and Walker. All today voted for the president’s renomination except Warner, who threw his voto away on the anti-administration stalking horse. Immediately after the afternoon ndjourn- ment tho Nebraska delegation met in their beadquartors at the Nicolet and selected Edward Rosewater as thoir choice for mem- ber of the national committeo, the voto standing 11 to 5 in his favor.

A, NO SURPRISE AT WASHINGTON, Harrison's Nomination Kol faction, but No Demon WASHINGTO une 10.—(Special Telegram to Tur Bee.1—The news of the re- nomination of President Harrison at Minne- apolis reached this city soon after 5 o'clock this afternoon, It was received with a con- siaerable show of satisfaction, but without any particular wauifestation of surprise. If the community bad been in its mood of lust Saturday evening or if the news had struck the city even as late as Tuesday evea- ing there would have been a tremendous sensation of astonishment, but oves since Tuosday the Blaine boom has been wither- ing away at the national capital and the Har- rison men havo had the call. The only Jif- ferece of opinion expressed this morning in conversation was as 1o whether the presi- uent would pull through or be run off the track by some third candidate, but the odds were with Harrison al day, and at b: o'clock the streets were full of men, the bur- den of whose conversation was; I told you s0." The center of attraction today was of course the whito house. All tne morning tho president and his band of able and faith- ful lieutenaats were busily occupied, as they have been for several days and nights past, in sending sud recelving communications from the seat of war. The news which they received was said to be uniformly favorable. About noou he premises were in- vaded by a company of uewspaper correspondents and other privileged iudividuals who established themselves in the rooms and hallways of the upper story and awaited the futeful tidings with us much con,posure #s thoy could muster, The presi- dent mesnwhile was in his private oftice sur- rounded by the members of his cavinet, who received every fow minutes the successive tolegrams from Minueapolis and made calcu- latious from them. Secretary Tracy kept the Secretary Elkins und Attoraey ler did the heavy fguring, aud the other cavinet oMcers unSufi WM wssistance “.:f gould.

During the long struggle characterizing the ballot the most intense excitement pre- vatied in thess upper rooms until about 4 o'clock. Tuen 1t seemed to the white house prople as if there would be no choice on the first ballot and there were many specula- tions and criticisms in regard to the strength displayed by the McKinley vote. After Ohio #aud Pennsylvania had been passed, however, the probabilities of the president's immediate success dawned upon the company and_caused a flutter of pleasant anticipation in the midst of which at oxactly 5:10, the record of the roil call was momentarily in- terrupted and the telegraph instrument ticked out the words: ‘‘Harrison is nom- inatea.” At once there was a shout ana all those in tho room, including the postmaster general and Seeretary Haltord, rose and made a rush for tho presidont’s’ room. It aid not take long to explain the cause of the Invasion and the president, looking very huppy but perfectly diguified aod aelf-con- trolled, was surrounaed by the crowd of congratuluting frieuds, who with cheers and many other manifestations of delight shook hunds with him and offcred bim their good wishes, The sceno In the room at this mo- ment was guite pioturesque and striking, The tail forms of Secrctaries Elkins aud Rusk loomed above the crowd, while several Indies of the president’s household mingled with the throng, looking the plcture of hap- piness, One of the young ludies throw her arms around the president’s neck and kissed him in tue excess of her joy. The cabinet officers came in for their sharo of tho geuoral congratulution and they were also the center of hand shak- ing groups. Amid itall the grumem, the calmest man in the room, stood by s desk conversing in his ordizary manner with all who approached him and réading occasionally telograms which were brought in to him. Alter a few minutos, in response to the evident general desire of those present, he made a short speech in his most felicitous styl2, which was loudly applauded, Wil Close Up the Ranks. Soon afterwards the president retived to tako .o littio well oarned rest, and the cabinet ofticers, Commissioner’ Morgas Secretary Halford and tho other prominent officials ~ engaged in general conversa- tion with _ the correspondents, and gavo their viows upon the sit- uation and the prospects, = 'They were all exceedingly choerful, and were unanimous in their opinion that the presigent would be re-clected. Sectotary Rusk, for example, said there bad been a hard fieht and n good deal of bitter feeling between tho different branches of the . party but he had no doubt that ail the trouble was now over and that the ranks would immedi. ately c10se up and press forward to victor: The other cabinet, officers expressed them- seives in exactly the samo terms, The hap- piest man of them all was Secretary Blkins, and he cortainly had a right to bo happy. The result of this contest is & great triumph for him. Not only has ho displayed a romarkable degree of po- litical sagucity and_ability in tho managy ment of bis share of the duties pertaining to tho president’s campalgn, but ho has nlso forctold that result with almost absoluto ac- curacy in regard to all the details of the vote from first tolast. His figuring has beon wonderfully close and his estimate on Thurs- day night talliea almost procisely with the result as announced this afternoon, Finully the crowd at tho white house broke up and mingled with the crowas on the streets. The news happened to arrive at the moxt favorable hour for the convenience of the public. “ho depurtments were all closed ~ ana the strects were full of poopie on their way home to dinpar. They gathered in great numbers around tho various bullotin boards, aimost completely blocking up Fourthteenth street o front of the United Iress office and when the final announcement camo there was loud cheerinz aud hats were thrown high in the air. ‘he department clerks were much pleased as was ouly natural. Anxlous te Get the News, All during the morning from the the assembling of the couvention crowds gathered around vavious places In tho capital where bulletins were displeyed. The greatest interest was manifested in every scrap of nmews that came over the wires, That -the result would ultimately ~be the renomination of the president was the general opinion Blaino talk was conspicuous by 1ts absence, while the talk of a third party man, which has for the last fow days been very conspicuous, died away almost to o whisper. It was im- possible for the house to keep a quorum of ts members on the floor so many of them left the room s0 as to bo where they could ceive the first news from the convention time of At 3 o'clock it was nccordingly deter- mined to take & recess until touight, and from that hour until after the nows of tho prosident’s renomination was received the ball of the houso was like the playground of a gang of sehoolboys just out on & vacation, During the time taken up by the nominating speeches the members of the house amused themselves by guying everything and every- body aud singing patriotic songs. Congressmen Enjoy the Fun, Mr. Tarsney of Missourl movea that tho houso resolve itself into o mugwump conven- tion with Mr. Walker of Massachusetts in the chair, ana Mr. Williams_from the samo state s secrotary, Tho Lrobosi- ton was recoived ~with lcud laugh- ter on mccount of the recent differ- ences between these two gertlemen as to the use of the word ‘mugwump’ but amid loud applause Mr. Walker ascended to the speaker’s desk and suggested that nomi nations wero in order and be would prescnt tho name of Mr. Cloveland. Somebody nsked him whom he was for at_Minneapolis to which he quickly responded, *“The man whom the convention nominates.’ Dave Honderson of Iowa in the back part of tho hail zathored around him a half dozen or 80 of men with good voices and began singing “Marching Through Georgia,” Gon- oral Henderson sitting astrido o desk and using his thick walking stick as a conductor's aton. A cry then arose for “Tho Star Spaogled Banner,” and Reading Clerk Houtaling was ‘called upon to load the choir. He uttempted fo do 30, but started the song too high and broko down amid loud laughter. Thon Mr. Hen- derson uudertook the joo bimself. Justas tho lust strains of the patriotic hymn ware sounding through the hall 8 puge “rushod in with a bulletin sunouncing that it nad been ugreed to commence balloting. At once there was oxcitoment in the hall. An im- mense blackboard was raised upon the clerk’s desk in front of the speaker's table and members flocked intothe hall in_groater numbers thao at any otner time during the day and took soats where they could o venlontly see the figures as they were posted up thero, and the spaco in front of the speaker's desk was crowded with a number of excited members, pages and outsiders, and Clerk Houtaling was called upon to hold Bunsel in readiness to read aloud tho bul- letins us they were received, Recelving the Bulleting, ‘“‘Hore they come cried & man near the door, and while others shouted, *‘Clear tho way,” & puge struggled through the crowd ana handed a telegram to the reading clerk. This was repeated with each succeeding bul letin and meanwbilo eager men were bus, with pencil and paver fguring vpon the sult. Upto the time that Peunsylvania’ voto was reached the .talk [that Me- Kinley might perbaps yet sccure the nominaden continued, but ‘when the Keye stone stato wus reported as having given 19 for Mr, Harrisou, which was 10 more thau bis friends bad claumed, the shout arose, “That settles it, the president is renomi- nated.” A moment or two later word camo that this prediction bad boen fultilied sud the wu. nouncement was grecleo with cheors, Five minutes afterwurds the hail of the house was empty. Discussing the News. After the gxcitemeot attending the Auoouncement of the nomination had sub- sided somewbat on the sireots snd at b uplown hotels, groups of poli uclaus guthered togetlier 0 discuss | was gonerally betd that 3 & - MORNING,. JUNE probable effast of the conven- cholse. Among the republicans it the nomination was as strong as coultl mave been maile and no credence was plocdiin tho reports that the dissensions in theparty created by the fight between Mr. Huw und his ex-secre- tary of state would protuce serious results in the approaching cambnign. The opiuion among @emocrats was more diversified and less. cbmplimentary to the prosident. Representative Dingley of Maine said: *T would, of course, have preferred to have seen Mr, Blaing nominated. The con- vention, hias, however. chosen a wood man, and the' entire republican party will be for him.” Ropresentative Payne of New York said: “Iy is o strong nomination aud suits mo first rate,” Reprasentative Atkinson of Pensylvania sald: T like the convention's selection vory well indeed. 1f therd was ever such a thing as n_president who /by his administration deserved a ronominatfon, Mr. [arrison 1s tho man." Koprosentative Raifis of Now York said for the repub- tion! ‘It makes Now York| solid licans,” Reprosontativo Walker of Massachusetts saiu: “Itis a good no~ inatiou, Mr. Harri- s0n is the strongest cdndidate for his own successor. Thers hds been nothing ubout his administration that will not be a source of strongih in. the campaign. The chances of bhis eloction ave better than thoss of @ny man the dumocrats can put up.” Representative Henderson of Illinols said “It is the best muomiuation that could havo been made. |The people are for him, although some® of the politicians have been agamnst him, It tho situa- tion had been rovorsod he would have been weak before the, country, but it is the business of the politiclans to get into line, and I thiuk Mr. Harrison will be re-elected.” Talking Through His Hat, Representative Dockery of Missouri said : “It will bo a cold campaign and there'll be no need of lce this summer. Mr. Blaine would have boen the next weakest candi- date, I am surprisgd that the republican party should have nowinated Harrison, I should have thoughtthey would have avoided the dissensions which are bound to occur in thelr ranks as a result of the bitternoss en- gendered between the Harrison and Blaine forces. I think McKinley would have been a stronger candivate.” Representative Sayers of Texas said: “Myr. Harrlson {s the strongest man they could have put up.!’ Represeutative Pierco of Teunnssee said: “Ir1s a weak nomination, Mr, Hurrison’s position on the force bill would be against him in the cumynlyu,“ , Mr. Wiison of West Virginia sald: “He s probably tho strongest man that the conveu- tion could have selectea.” Representative Herman of Ovegon said: *‘1 take this to mean not ouly Mr. Blaioe's political but physical death, He 15 & very sensitivo man, and I am afraid that this wiil kill him, T think Mr. Harrison will be a very strong candidate.”? Where 1s That Boom Now? The sudden disappearance of tho Blaino boom is talked of by everybody here tonight, and the opinion {8 general that this il wind up tho political: cavesr of the plumed knight. It is indeed wonderful how sud- denly and completely Biuine's forces have vanished here. While ouly a few days ago the name of Blaine was on every lip, and at least three-quartmys.of the representa- tives of his party here were actively on- listed 1n his behalf. Thero can be found to- night hardly one to do bim reverence. Even Senator Hele, Blaine's chief champion hero this week, hes swung back into the ndministration ranks aud he says tonight that he is groatly pleased with the presi- dent's nomination. All the republicuns are Harrison men tonight sure enough, and the man irom Maino has utterly desertod. His departure. frot . ihe city last Tueaday, without any popular Semonstration, was a tragic farowell fndeed toall bis grentiicss. McKinley's Position Questioned. Thoro 1s & good deal of cutious whisporing among tho politicians tonight éoncerning the ultimate fate of Goveruor McKinley. The part his namo played in the couvention is wencrally characterized as a very peculiar one. Itlooks to tho Washington politician as if Governor McKinley had = listenod 100 kindly to the porsuasions of the Blaine 'meu and that he had allowed them to muke use of his name for the purpose of creating a third candidacy aud aivorting thercoy number of votes from tho president with the intention of transferring the Blaine strength to McKinley on the second ballot or third and thus socuriog his nomination in the intorest of tho anti-Harri- son men. 1t is said hero thav if McKinley had been voted for by somo of the Harrison men instead of by the Blaine men his position would not be open to criticiam, but as he was ltnown as a Harrison mun and was the candidate of the Harrison men for chairman of the convention, his action in relation to the use of his name on the. first ballot looks very suspicious, and it is thought here by most of the leading publio men that he has wflicted upon bimself au injury which may prove permanent. The democrats have all along thought that President Hurrison would probubly be re- nominated and so they express little sur- prise this eveuing. Most of them declare that tho president willbe an easy man to beat on account of thée party dissensions in which he hias beon so eonsplcuous, providod the democrats put forth their best' efforts at Chicago and in the subsequent campaign. During the evening the prosidont received many callers, including a delegatiou of about 100 Tudiana people residing horo. He re- goived this party fn the east room, which was brilliantly illuminated, At the same time Mrs. McKeo held areception lu ouo of the other rooms, which was attended by many distinguished ladies. Tho president has also received hundreds of cougratulatory telo- grams this evening from all parts of tho country.

Every resource known to political warfar® was brought to bear by the leaders of the opposition to defest thopresident’s renomina tion, and for one brief hour in the middle of the day it seemed that the popular favorite of tho Buckeye state was to receive the highest honor which can be bestowed by the ropublican party. But men held steadfast to their faith and the contest in the end was determined by tho instructed,delegates com- mitted to the candidate to whom McKinley paid his loyalty, Delegates Groater Than Leaders. The various members of the national com- mittae who had such_able co-operation in ox- Governor Foraker, Senator Piutt, Senators Quay, Wolcott and_Telier maintained their powerful organization to the very last, but delegates were greater than leaders in de- termining this contest, and the votes pledged to President Harrison in the weeks gone by when Secrotury Blaino was nota factor in the presidential race were at lasy delivered with felicity in opposition to all the cntnusi- asm which “the nawe of Blaine called forth, A half dozen conferences were held in the midnight hours by anti-administratio lead- ors to determine what was best to be done. The proceedings of the convention show what the result of all these conferences was. It was determined to kcep Blaine in the field until the spiritof tne couveution had been obtained and then endeavor by a skill- ful move to stampede the convention in favor of Ohio and the chairman of the national convention. Pennsylvania Turns the Tide. Pennsylvania was the first state to turn tho tido against the compromise,usherod forth by the most solid subport of the state of Ohio and while Matt Quay today, us in the four years goae by, is a prominent rfgure in re- publican politics, today it was demonstrated that the delegates of the Keystone state were no longer plastic to his will, for it wnas unexpected accession of additional votes from this state to the Harrson column that turned the tide in favor of the president and caused so many southern delegates, as well as the states of Soutn Dakota and Texus, a few minutes later to follow the example by giv- ink ® significont majority to Harrison and practically assuring him the zomination, Up to the last McKinley was supported, When tho nomivation for president. became ractically assured, Chairman McKinley Peckonoa to" the stage Colonei Shopard of the Empire state, and taking the floor moved the nomination of President Harrison bo made by acclamation.
