Harrison and Reid Named at Minneapolis for November
The Iowa Index reports Harrison and Reid win the ticket at Minneapolis with Harrison nominated on the first ballot. Blaine forces falter as Harrison gains center support and seals victory on the fourth day, followed by a Texas delegation vote confirming Harrison’s nomination amid cheering from fourteen thousand supporters. The paper also notes a deadly flood in Titusville and Oil City, PA, with about 300 lives lost and $5 million in damage, plus a resignation from Blaine as secretary of state and the re election of J. S. Clarkson as Republican National Committee chair.
