Minneapolis, June 11. The nomina tion of President Benjamin Harrison with Whltclaw Hold for second place ou the ticket, has created a variety of sentiment and opinion from prominent men of both parties. The general opin ion is that the ticket is a strong one. A few ardent Blaine sympathizers, who have not yet recovered from their dis appointment, take exception to tho above opinion, but the Harrison men say they will swing in line when elec tion day comes around. The trains last evening bogan to carry away the visitors and delegates to the convention. Most of the crowd will go to-day. Tho special train of tho Now York delegation left at 7:13 a. m. The city Is remarkably quiet. THIS FOURTH DAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The fourth day of the Convention opened with a miniature of a Dakota blizzard. It lacked pome of the most unpleasant features. It was not cold ind it was not accompanied by snow or benjamin Harrison: Renominated as tho Republican Candida to for President. hall but It was lively enough to tear from their plnces the decoratlous which adorned the buildings along Minne apolis' principal streets. Tho rain fell in torrents for a time, but the storm was of short duration and the sky soou cleared. The streets wero comparatively de serted when the storm broko. The shouters and tho marching clubs, worn out with constant exertions, did not put in their usual early appearnnce and the voice of the bugle and the sound of the drum were not heard in the land. At 10 o'clock, an hour before the Con vention was to meet, not a band had appeared on the streets nnd there was but a small crowd turning toward Con vention Hall. At the West Hotel th Harrlsonlans gathered In great numbers, and were wild with Joy, They had no doubt from tbe test vote taken in tbe report of the Committee on Credentials that they bad control of the Convention, and they had very little fear of losing it. Tbey .were counting not only on holding the strength which they had shown the night previous, but on gaining more through the moral effect of Thursday night's vote. Senator Teller said: "It means that Harrison Is beaten, He has not got enough votes to nominate him. With the third candidate his majority will melt away fast. Look out for McKln ley or Tom Iteed. The Harrison men have not got the votes they claim they liave." Senator Washburn said that the re sult of the ballot on tho Credentials Committee report was strongly indica tive of Harrison's renomluation. "I think my preference is pretty well known," said ho, "But I say it with all caudor that tho voto seems to insure the renomluation of Harrison." Tbe admirable organization of Mr. Harrisou's forcos compelled the admira tion ot oven bis enemies. For more than a week the whole Convention mem bership had been blocked out by State delegations, and each block was put in charge ot a trusted lieutenant of John C. Now. Thusu lieutenants reportod to Mr. New three and tour1 time a day, as ofttnas they have talked with the Harri son men In their delegations and reported immediately any sign of weakness. The greatest argument which Mr. New used from tho beginning of tbe canvass was the table of votes by States. It was made up as soou as he arrived In Minneapolis and revised every day. To every doubtful delegate the Harrison men displayed this table, urging him at the,, same time to "get Into the Harrison bund wagon." The table has r'Vnl th atvongtut argument, to bring Continued on Third Jtst. THE WATER QUESTION. The Joint Committee's Circular jrrcmeoiiH In Many Instances. The first investigation shows Mr. Coon's affidavit to bo quito as extravagant as the remainder of thn (Joint committeo'a "stump speech." Mr. Coon fays ho built, among others, tho 1'lymouth, Bradford, Lewis burg and Media, I'a., water works, His tory shows that tho Plymouth wator works wero built by tho day and wore not con tracted to any person. C. W. Moseloy was the englnoir. The Lewisburg wator works were erected in the samo way, S. D. lUtcs being tho enginoor. Mr. Gxm may have dug a pipo ditch at either or both of thpsn works, but bo did not build them, The Bradford water works werobuilt by the Bradford "Water Company. J. A. Sey muir was tbo enginoer and J. and A. Mc- Mann tho contractors. Tho Media wator works wero built by days work and were not contracted to Mr. Coon or any other person. According to tho estimates of tho j-int committee tho incomo of tho now water works will bo f30,C00 a year. Since tho income of tho present water company is something less than 20.000 a year, the inforonco is left that ono of tho first acts of tho joint committee would be to increase tho wator rents 60 per cent., or from 80 00 to 89 00 por year. As k pleco of demagogy the document of tho joint water committee will go on record as boing unrivalled. In making a bid for tho votes of workingmen tho committe tells that $33,000 of the $83,000 which tho plant would cost, would bo distributed among them in wages, while a reference to their ostimates given olsowhero In tho paper shows that tho total amount to be paid out for labor is 86,711.60. Tbe Joint committee tells the working' men that thoy are to be lurnishod with employment in tho construction of tho now water works, but conveniently forgets to remind them that thoy will be taxed to pay back tho money oxpended in tho work, no matter whether ihey get any of it or not. According to the calculations of tho joint committee, thoro is to be noither a flroman or watenman employed at tbe propusoa pumping station. Is the ongineer to do th firing and tbo station to take care of itself ? It tako3 two watchmen to protect th stroam in Davis' Run now, but, according to tho joint committee's plan, whon prororty to tho valuo of $75,000 has bee placod thereon, the watchmen can bo dis ponsed with. Tbo latest roport from tho chief watch men at Davis' Bun to tho joint committco fchowed that the stream was still there. The joint committee's bid for tho voto of tho flro companies is cheap enough to be an insult to overy self-respecting mom tier of tho local 11 ro department. Tho estoemed joint committoo continues to delight in boing mysterious. Thoy say: "Somo of tho committee aro aware of ono enterprise alono that will bo worth from throe to Ave thousand dollars a month to tho town, and jt will be established If thoro is a sufficient supply of water to run It." "What library 6f knewlodgo will bo thrown upon tho market if the committeo over decides to unburden itself 1 Faughl It may bo worth while calling attention to the fact that while Mr. A. H. Coon, th gentleman who makes tbe affidavit for tho joint committee, offers to build tho pro posed water works lor $100,000, ho doos not say what sort of works ho would build Mr. Coon, or any other poreon, could prob ably put in a plant for half that amount of money, but 'what good would It bo? festivals.

HE OLD TEACHERS WERE RE-ELEGTED. THE BOARD MAKES NO NEW APPOINTMENTS. WO OF THE TEACHERS RESIGN. A Warm Dobato on tho Question of Increasing Salaries Whlto Stroot School Building to be Torn Down. CHOOL teachers were olectod last night by tbo School Hoard All tho directors wero present and tho only tilt that occurred was on tho quostion of raising tho salaries of tho grammar school toachers. This was settlod in favor of tho teachers. lioforo the board outered upon tho trans action of regular business ex-President lieddall presented Prosidont Conry with a small but substantial looking gavel. Tbe gift was gracefully received and tbo direc tors extended their congratulations to tho rocipient. Messrs. Gallagher, Burke, O'Hearn, Williams and llachman, tho committeo on toachers and salaries, submitted their roport. Thoy recommend that tbe salaries of teachors Scheuhing, Brittand AVhitaker, tho toachers oi the first and second gram mar schools and Principal Ehrhart be increased. "When the timo arrived to act on tho ro port Messrs. Gallagher and Burke said that thoy did not agree with tho mnjority of tho committee. Thoy wero not willing that the salaries of tbo grammar school teachers should be increased. Tbey said teachers bad told them that tbo increase of tho term to ton months was perfectly satisfac tory. Mr. Ebrhart's salary should bo in creased, thoy said, becauso hois paid by tbo year and tho salary should be increased in proportion to tho incroase of tho term, Messrs. Gallagher and Burke wero also willing that the salaries of Messrs. Scheuh' ing, Britt and "Whitakor should bo raised, Their only objections wore to tho grammar sehools. Superintendent Freeman took tho floor and mado a strong appeal for tbo increaso objected to. Ho said, "Tho grammar school toachers aro doing rooro work than tbo primary teHchors. This is recognizod all over tbo country. You increased tho salaries of tho primary school teachers last year, but you did not increaso tho grammar school salaries. Tho second grudo grammar toachers are doing almost doublo the umount of work as tho primary teachers." Mr. Conry: "Did you not state boforo this board that the primary school toachers are tho hardest worked teachors wo have?" Mr. Freeman. "I did. I agroe I have said that our primary school teachers aro tho hardest worked primary school teachers 1 know of ; and so aro tbo grammar school teachors, and Idon'tbeliovotho people will object to you raising tuo grammar school teachers' salaries." Mr. Freeman also said that tho Board should encourago tho young men who teach and try to keep them in tbo corps. Messrs. Conry and Bronnan said thoy understood from teachers thoy had spoken to that thoy woro satisfied with tho increase of tho term. A motion to adopt all tho recommenda tions of tho committeo was finally adopted by a vote of 11 to 4.
