swiftly on the heels of that motion they moved the cleo
ton OF General Harrison in the same way BEFORE MS
opponents could rally, the motion was put and carried
The Blame element then nominated Congressman John

Gresham man first and for Blaine second The Harrison
mennOminated ex Governor Cumback and Nj Reynolds.

votes necessary to choice. On the first ballot Baker re-
ceved 239 votes the convention voting for all the cand
dates at once On the second ballot al the candidates

had 277 votes and Cumback 40. Before the
vote was announced the chairman informed Cum

PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCEs
As all the delegates are unnstructed, and the
contests were not made with regardto the Presloen-
tia candidates. the present personal preferences oi
the delegates are the only guidance as TO the Voles
they will cast though the popularity OF MI blaihe
will have potent influence. a matter OF course
Mr. Phelps is for Blaine so long as there Is any
chance of his nomination. General Sewell will, ne
saws represent the State by voting for Blaine irst
As second choice he would choose Edmunds. MI
Gardner is first for Blame, then for Ednunds, ana
then for Logan. Judge Fort is understood to favor
Edmunds. Of the fourteen district delegates
eight are said to be for Blaine, and
the others are for Edmunds. OF the desire OF az
to act for the interests of the party irrespective oI
personal feeling abundant evidence was aiOrded
to-day.
The convention opened the campaign III New
