Wiie the convention settled down to business it didn't aste inneh time. Evtuv U.-t)j'o'.ican is a Harrison man to-day, whatever Le may Lave Leen last week. The IVjmocrats assemble in the Windy City next Tuesday. Whut are they go ing to do. Tub reason why Ohio didn't get more place on the ticket is obvious: There w ere no more places. Mr. Cleveland has gone to T.uzzard' Ray," but be i not hunting for the jiolit-i.-al bird of that species. The voice from Oregon Las no music for the Democratic ear. She follows closely little Ehode Maud's lead. What the I'emocrats want now is a man with no record and no reputation, with no platform to stand on. The Minneapolis Convention Las nom inated a winning ticket, just as every pa triotic Republican w as sure thai it would. Ir will be fight betneen the old lead ers, Harrison iid Cleveland, and the former goes into the contest w ith the prestige of victory. Tun Iiepublican party, following the horucly adviceof the immortal Liqcoln, wisely refuses to s op horses in the mid dle of the stream. The Republican ticket doesn't suit the free traders. Rut let us remember that there was no thought of pleasing them when it was nominated. Don't bet ; but the horse that Las once Won the race against the best bWd in the field, and to-day is in better condition to run than then, is safe, to say the least. rr.EsiDENT H ari:ison beat Mr. Cleve land w hen he Lad all the jower of the Eederal administration behind him. He can do it again, and much more easily. The Ieriiocrat3 should pause before nominating Cleveland, ;;nd reflect tlmt Lord Saekvilie West will no longer be able to lend him hij powerful assistance. I.ies, of Iowa, was a Republican and 6'jpr.orted Elaine in I His nomina tion for President by the Democrats would serve to considerably complicate the situation. There is no more candid and unequiv ocal plank in the Republican platform than the silver plank. Senator Teller hasn't bolted it. If it suits him it w ill B lit Colorado. As one of the most uistinuinhed Re publican leaders Mt.l recently : " Men are nothing; the party is fVer) thing." The result of the election next November w iil be felt fur the next quarter of a eeutury. Lik at the ticket, dear Mugwumps and I k-mocrats. Take it into tiie sun light and weigh it, measure it, test it as you wiil. There are no Caws in it, and it doesn't need the protection of a fly trap. Tne Democratic Congress insists upon appropriating J'.OO.Ooy for further expe rt nents in rain making. An equal sum for exj-erieiice in rain stopping would lie much more to the purpose in this lati tude. pKEs;iu;vT II abi:i.n record is the Re pub ran platform fur IS'.':!. It is W enough and broad enough and utrong taougu to noia an tactions, all interests and all sections on board.

Tut innate acted wisely in deteraiiu- ini: that there should be L'e aud lou delate on the free-fciiver question before the meeting of the national conventions. To get rid of important questions by gag law and arbitrary parliamentary rulings a Democratic, and not a Republican method. That is a curious threat made at a meetiig of colored peoj ile in Ronton to the effect that if the Republican partv doesn't stop tLe lynching of negroes, which bs done usually in Southern States, the colored votcra will leave the party and. presumably, vote with the party which provides most of the lynching ep isodes. The ground is now cleared for a Na tional exhibition of LVmocratic 'harmo ny" at Chicago. Our friends the enemy have been very much di.turled over the exciting scenes at Minneapolis, and Lave been complaining of the Republican convention as a bear garden. Let ua now w ait and see whether the Demociat ic lion and lamb will lie down together. Kaik and well fought, the early battle's won, And L:gb ; it-serving Lolds the f-rise ; Now c'.isf, f.rm hand: and count the work well done, And march w here greater honor lies. Let not th rancor that ambition bree';s, When heated factions strire for place. Im.ijiir Your strength, but where the chief tain lea-is Tress manly on and win the race! Thf. present Democratic programme is cot to redai-e J titles, but to abolish t.'iein those on wool, binding twine, cotton tie, etc. There are conditior.-i und hich a reduction of duties, by increas ing iiojori-S may incnae toe ieei.vtr Cut the abolishing of a duty cannot, ivinceivably, have any other elfect than to reduce the revenue. And yet the I lemocruts are groar.ir.g that the govern ment is bankrupt, without enough reve nues to pay its obligations. This is a fine example of the consistency of Donioirut ic policy. The first Stute elevtion of the year and t!ie first election of ineiiibe-rs of the Eif l -third Congress is full of satisfaction and god omen to the Republican party. I'espite unusual conditions and the irej- tti'-of serious disturbing elements the State of Oregon returns Ler normal Re publican plurality, and elects both Re publican Congietismen and a Republican Iegi.-lature by very handsome majori ties. The State ticket consisted of only candidates f-r Judge of Supreme Court and Attorney Oeneral. The c-ount on the latter is not completed, but the Republi can candidate for Supreme Judge Las at least i,0XX plurality. Let all lu-t'ublieans remember that if the Democrats w in this fail they will un doubtedly get control of every depart ment of the Government end Lave full swirg. The four years Cleveland spent in the White Uou.?, Landicapjied by a r.em;b;:can Senate, w ill he ?.s in- nocuous di-suetude" itself ccmpared to the exploits of the Democracy w hen in full power and free to let themselves loose. Owing to the peculiar situation, the Democrats, if they w in this fall, w ill probably C3rry everything with them. They Lave not had such a cLani-e since the war, and they are getting rea.ly fr such a fight as is not often seen. If there ever will be a time for Republicans to sulk or lose or throw away their votes .'t is not this year. The ap.a!hr:g disaster at Oil City and Titusville from the ellV.-ts of the recent Hood and fire is only second iu magni tude to the terrors of that of Johnstown ' la une respect the disaster of the oil re. gion surpasses in horror that of Johns town, in that the (ire i'.end followed the tlood des'.rovirg in its wake whatever of life and property escaped the flood. It is L;i ELppOMed that fully three hundred lives and several million dollars worth r-i" property were destroy el. The appeals for aid Lave been, promptly and substan tially responded to. Oovernor IVttison and a committee visited the devastated cities on Tuesday and arranged with the local committee for the proper distribu tion of funds for the relief of the sutur ing. All who can do so should contrib ute something to relieve the jeople of this devastated region. After an animated contest in which tLe merits cf every came mentioned re ceived frank and unfettered considera tion, the representatives of the Republi can party have resolved that President Harrison shaii lead once more to victory. The convention Laving spoken, its choice is accepted w ith cordial unanimity by the Republican party. TLe contest not concluded will leave no sting. If free discussion Lad b-.-en smothered, and dic tation Ld taken the place cf delilHra tion, it might have been different. Rut the exact coi.'.rary is the fact. The ut most frtedem of aigurueut prevailed. The clear flame of free si.ech Las puri fied the air. In President Harrison the Republican party Las a cr n-iidato for w hom neither cpology cor .'efense is required, liis record as a Soldier, as a legislator and as President is known of ail men, and the more it is studied thx ni-re a.imirable it api-oars. The President has been the 5ul of Lis own administration. Howev er able his lieutenants, Le has been the commander-in-chief ; and the stamp of Harrison is on all the great achievements that Lave marked Lis three years of gov ernment. The two features of 1 resident Hirrison's present term that will take rank anioirg the great events of this gen eration are tLe enactment of the McKin ley law and the outspoken and aggress ive assertion of American rights in the controversies with Great Rritain and j with Chili. Prompted bv a patriotism that knew no guide save the honor and interest of the United r-:ates, President Harrison was as resolute in dealing with l-owerfu!

A new era of industrial devtlori ment Las ge t in wLose benefit the coun try ill reaii.-i more and more fully as the years roll on.

All the tfl jrts of zealous friends would Lave been of no avail had not the Republican millions be- lieed that President Harrison, by really rare ssgaciiy, fidelity and firmness, bad de served at their hands exceptional confidence and honor. Vnder no other Prescient have American commerce, American industry and the prosperity of the American jieople made such progress, and the Nation rightly judges that triumphs in peace are no less worthy of laurels than triumphs in war. The President ba.- given to the country a clean Administration, and the people care more fir that than f.r the satisfaction of po litical aspirants or managers.

The Republican party has named another President fir the jieople, and grandly and pi'.rie'licaliy jierformed again a mission iu which it has never faded.

The repraBenUtives of the Republicans o f the Vniied States, assembled in general con ' vention on the shores of the Mislsipii riv er, the everlasting bond of an iudestructihie Republic, w hose most glorious chapter of history is the record of the Republican par ty, congratulate their countryman on the majestic march of the Nation under the ban ners inscribed with the rrinciples of our platform of ls3, vindicated by victory at the p:.li and prospenty la our ficl-li, work shops and mines, and make ihe following declaration of principle : pgosfERITr ME TO raoTECTlOH. We M2irin the American doctrine of pro- ection. We call attention to its growth abroad. We maintain that the prosj-erous condition of our country is largely due to the wis revenue legislation of the Iiepubli can Coneresa. We believe that all articles which cannot be produced in the Uuited States, except luxuries, should be admitted free of duty, and that on all imports coming into compe tition with the products of American labor there should be levied duties equal to the difference between wages abroad and at home. We assert that the prices of manufactured articles of general consumption Lave been reduced under the orierations of tae Tariff act cf Is v. We denounce the cflorts of the Democrat ic majority of the House of Representatives to destroy eur tariiT laws piecemeal as is manifested by their attacks upon wool, lead and lead ore, the chief products of a num ber of Slates, and we ask the people for their judgment thereon. giccEss or REcir-Rocnv. We point to the success of the ICcp'iblican policy of reciprocity, under which our ex port trade has vastly increased, and new and enlarged markets have been oened for the products of our farms and workshops. We remind the people of the bitter oppo sition of the Democratic party to this prac tical byjiness measure, and claim thai, exe cuted by a Republican Administration, our resent laws will eventually give us control of the trade of the world. THE SILVES TLASK. The American people, from tradition and interest, favor bimetallism, and the Repub lican party (Jeraaiids the use of both gold and silver as siandard money, with such re strictions and under such provisions, to be determined by legislation, as will secure the maintenance of the parity of the values of the two metals, so that the purchasing and itebt-payii-g piwer of the dollar, whether of silver, edd or Miner, shall be at all times equal. The interests of the produ.-ers of Ihe country, its farmers and its workin -men. iemar.d that e-very dollar, paper or coin, is sued by the Ooveniniont, shall l- as good as any other. We corn mend the wise and patriotic step already taken by our Gevcrnment to secure an international conference to adopt such measures as will insure a parity of value be tween sold and silver tor use as money throughout the world. A FUEE BALLOT AND FAIR COURT. We demand that eve ry citizen of the Uni ted States shall be allowed to cast one free aud unrestricted ballot iu all public elec tions and that such ballot shall be conn test and returned as cast; that such laws shall be en.icled and enforced as will secure to ev ery citizen, be he rich or (Kor, native or for eign born, white or black, this sovereign right guaranteed by the Constitution. The frteaud honest popular ballot, the just aud equal representation of all the ieo-pie-, as well as their just and equal protec tion under the laws, are the foundation of our Republican institutions, and the party will never relax its efforts until the integrity of the ballot and the partly of elections shall be fully guaranteed and protected iu every State. son nKRX orcein fx. We denounce the continued inhuman out rages perpetrated uiKin American citizens for political reasons in c-.-rLaia Southern Statis of the Union. F"RE!l.!S RELATIONS. We favor the extension of our foreign commerce, the restoration of our niercanlile niarine by honie-bui'.t ships and the creation of a Navy for the protection of our National interests and the honor of our (lag; the maintenance of the most friendly relations wilh ail foreign powers, entangling alliance with none, and the protection of the rights of our fishermen. We reatlirm our approval of the Monroe Doctrine and believe in the achievement of the manifest destiny of the Republic in its bruadi'St scuso. We favor tire enact rue-nt of more strincent laws and regulations for the restriction c.f criminal, pauper and contract immigration. JtlcEI.LASEnra, We favor efficient legislation by Congress to protect the life and limbs of employes of transportation companies engaged in carry lire an inter-state commerce, and recom mend legislation by the respective States that will protect employes engaged in State commerce, in mining and manufacturing. The Republican parry has always been the champion of Ihe oppressed and recognizes the dignity of manhood, irrespective of faith, color or nationality ; it sympathizes with the can of Home Rule in Ireland and protests against the prosecution of the Jews in Ruisia. The ultimate reliance of free popular gov ernment is the intelligence of the people ar.d the maintenance of fre-edom amotrg men. We therefore declare mew our devotion to liberty of thought and conscience, of speecli and press, and approve all agencies and in strumentalities whieb contribute to the edu cation of the children of the land; but while insisting upon the fullest measure of religious liberty, we are opposed to any union of Churc h end State. We reaffirm our opposition, declared in the Republican platform of lsss, to all cora- binat Ions of capital organized in trusts or otherwise, to control arbitrarily the condi tion of trade among our citizens. We hear tily indoise the action alrcaly taken upon this suijeett, and ask for such further legis lation as may be required to remedy any ilefcc'.s iu existing laws and to render thtir enforcement more complete and effective. We approve the policy of extending to towns, villages and rural communities the advantages of the free delivery service, now enjoyed by the larger cities oi the country, and reaffirm the declaration contained in the lb-publican platform of .Iss-, plcd-ing the reduction of letter postage to one cent, at the earliest possible moment ei:isis!er t wiih the maintenance of the Postofiice Do- p i-tnient.'and the highest class of jos'.al ser vice.

The burden of all comments of all the evening papers on the renoniination or President Harrison and the selection of Mr. Whitelaw Re-id as the Republican candidate fjr Yite President is joy over the beating of Mr. Blaine. The 1'uU-M'M flaust says : -Kven those least in sympathy with Mr. Blaine as a politii ian may spare a passing regret at the cruel disajipoinment of the man who is the ablest Republicjin ar.d most astute politician in the United State-?. The Gi-Ai says : ' For once the American emeus was of real interest to outsiders, especially Kngland. Ia view of the dissen sion in the D-.mocri'.ic party, the nominee of yesterday stands a chance of beit g ti.e next President. It was a happy tiling thai the caucus decided overwhelmingly aerainsl the great wire-puller whose entire career Las bi-on marked with at'emps to m::ke party capital out of foreign politics." . The f,ir publhihes a most violent attae-k on Mr. Blaine, because of his Protection principles, and sums np irserima'e of Presi dent Harrison's qualifications by declaring that he is " A quiet, unassuming old gentle man, of great persona! integrity, but with out great cbility.'' It then predle-ts the nomination of Mr. Cleveland by the l'sino-c-aL, and concludes by saying the sympa thies of all I'm-Traders and I.ibarals should b: with the champion of rcfirm ii.--ver Cl.nelallJ. Blaina Bows To The Result. Bostos June l' Ex-Secretary B'.ainc arrd Mi. Blaine left for Bar Harbor on the T v. t. train, over the Boston and Maine Railroad. Miss Dodg; (Gail Hamilion; returned to-day from Hamilton, whither she went Wednes day, ar.d accompanied Mr. and Mrs." Blaine on their trip to night. Before he left the city thi3 evening. Mr. Biaine gave this communication to the representative of the Boston Jimrnal. The resolution, energy and persistence which marked the proceedings of the con vention at Minneapolis will, if turned against the common foe, win the e-leetion in Novem ber. All minor differenced should be merged in the duty of every Republican to do all in bis power to elect the ticket this day nom inated by the National Republican Conven tion. Jaufs G. Blaine.
