AUGUSTA, Me, September 9.-Mr.
Blaine did not vote until after ths women
had left the polls. Then he and Wsikar
came to the voting place. No person
spoke to him. The Ward Clerk called
his name and the Warden repeated 1t.
Blaine voted, but refused to vote efthsr
way upon the amendment. Ths indics-
lions are that the Republicans win have
nearly 500 majority In the city.
Missouri Republicans.
JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, September o.
The convention assembled shortly bslore
noon. Outside of the delegates tho rep
resentation was not very Large, though
what the crowd lacked In size was made
up in enthusiasm. 1t Is possible
that the proceedings wnl he pro-
tracted, but the action Of tho
body has already been clearly to9eshad-
owed. Ford will receive m almost
unanimous Endorsement. There Is q
handful here which inststs upon q
straight ticket, but the weight q opanian
is entirely at variance with such an In
polite proceeding as they favor There is
another handful representing the Pro-
hibition interest, which insists upon
A SUBMISSION PLANK
Ia the platform. The advocates Of this
are Judge Baker, of Springfield, ana L.
| r. Pirhrnnnd nd Ma 49, -
Louis. The Prohibition question win be
entirely ignored, however. Ths lesser
State offices will be divided between the
two parties. ST. Louis Is pushing Colonel
Dave Murphy for Attorney General and
is also demanding the Lieutenant. Govern
orship for metropolitan Republican.
An effort will be made to spread the
Convention evenly throughout the State.
Beach, of st. Joe, who Is managing Ford's
| interests, assures me that no Slate has
been prepared, and that the Convention
viii be free to name the men who are the
more likely 10 do good on the ticket.
THE GUARDIANSHIP.
George Balm is spoken of as St. Louis
favorite for the Craftsmanship. pecu-
liar feature of the gathering is the fact
that the delegates are entirely at sea re-
garding the probabilities. They are in
clined to submit to the dictation Of those
who are representing Ford. The latter
say they are waiting to hear from the
Convention. The North and Northwest
are solid for fusion. They are the most
enthusiastic Ford men here.
s.. Louis Delegation.
JEFFERSON CrI, Mo-, September g.
The St. Louis delegation met this morn
ing to hear the report Of q committee ap-
pointed at the Turner Halt meeting last
Thursday to communicate with Ford and
ascertain his exact position on the prohi-
bition question. The committee report
ed that they had written 10 Mr.. Ford and
that no reply had been necstved from
him. This brought Mr.. McGinnis to hs
feet with a demand that the whole pro-
hibition business should be dropped.
This 10 d at once to lively war Of words,
when the committee was discharged. In
order to avoid further roabse the meet
ing promptly adjourned. This showed
the d isposition Of the delegation toixDore
the rohibition question altogether.
Serious Complications.
JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, September a.
serious complication has arisen hare
this morning, which may pot an alto.
gether different phase upon the fusion
movement. An effort ID being made by
influential Republicans to constrict the
Convention a. though the Greenbsekers
had never existed, and they hsve strong
following. They advocate the nomina-
ton of Ford rs Republican only. Beach
says he Is authorized to
WITHDRAW yoRD's NAME
II this course L. insisted on. He says
Ford win under no circumstances accept
Republican nomination, but the Repub-
licans say they will not surrender any of
their rights to the Greeabackers. They
are willing to take Ford and vote for him,
but he must head q Republican ticket.
Ford's friends say that they will oppose
any attempt to nominate ticket here TO-
day.
ALL TARY WANT
Is that Conference Committee Of
one from each Congressional Dbtrict
shall be appointed with power to act
with similar Gseeubock ComnttSoo
for the purpose Of presenting the people
with full State ticket at some lns1Ho
day. II this programme Is carried oak
the entire session will be gtvea over 70
wrangle, and should the Ford men s1o-
coed there will be no nominaAko0o
made. The indications are that i've
ly fight will be preciptated at once.
