to-day happened en- rapport, as we say in
Paris, with Geo Wm. Curtis seat in the
convention, and when he made his speech
| on the pending resolution this morning, it
came double. Every word was echoed back
so distinctly that it appeared as though some
one on the presiding officers platform was
repeating the words after him. could face
the speaker and listen or turn my back to
him and face the echo, and
hear the speech either way
equally well. I accordingly took in dou-
Bile dose of Curtis at one swoop. This does
does not apply to all portions of the hall, but
where it does it is very advantageous. for if
you miss word of the speaker you can take
it in from the echos, and catch up with his
next sentence before the echo gets hold of
that 1t is no wonder that they need tenn
perance resolutions in such a state of affairs.
The Logan club made their usual brass
band singing campaign of the hotels tonight,
They make lively music for the boys and
whoop it up in good style. As they marched
out of the upper corridors of the Grand Pa
citic Blaine man displayed couple of pic
lures of the Maine statesman without Pasck' S
out yell the Logan boys. These little episodes
keep their spirits up, and every time they
occur | hear remarks in the crowd, ''Blaine
is going to be nominated sure" It is upon
such sandy foundation that the hopes of the
Blaineites rest.
There is perhaps no better illustration of
how indiscriminately the Blaine campaign is
conducted than little incident tonight. 1
visited the $500 per day, about 10 p. IN. and
found them short of speakers. They were
bowling for Chauncey NJ. Depew and Gal
usha A Grow, but neither of them were present
Then somebody sent up shout for Bob In
gersoll and the crowd took it up.
Finally the impromptu chairman of
the meeting, who had yelled himself so
hoarse that he could scarcely speak aloud,
formally inquired if Bob. was in the room,
and wanted him to come forward if he was
Both the crowd and the chairman were en-
tirely oblivious of the fact that Ingerson had
broken with Blaine, and if he were to speak
it would be to anathematize him as much
as he does the Bible. The Blaine men count
ed up their delegates with just about as much
judgment as they counted on Bob. Ingerson
in this call.
ABOUT THE MINNEsoTIANs.
There is very general surprise expressed
among the Minnesotions at the silence OF
Bill Washburn under Fletcher's letter. There
isa direct questioned veracity at issue be-
tween the gentlemen, but Washburn would
rather respond by letter or newspaper inter
view. 1t looks as if Fletch had the dead
wood on Wash, SO to speak.
There was a rural rooster at the Minnesota
headquarters this morning who was very
mad. He. was appealing to delegate Rod
gers and Gen. McLaren for ticket of ad-
mission to the convention. He said he had
always voted the Republican ticket but if he
was thus to be ruthlessly treated
he was going right back te
Minnesota and leave the party. [ mildly
suggested that he might leave the party anG
join the short-hairs in Chicago without wait
ing until he got home to sunder the sacred
ties. This not being entirely satisfactory,
employed Gen. McLaren as my interpreter t.
notify him that if he would join the Demo
cratic ranks he would get ticket right away
and then left fer fear he might accept .
haven'tseen Rogers or McLaren since.
fear the rural rooster has either murdered
them or they have gone back to Minnesot;
to see him leave the party.
Gov. Davis thinks the applause whicl
greeted Henderson's mention of Blaine
name very significant. If he had seen tel
times the enthusiasm for Blaine four year
ago, one round of applause lasting for hal
ha 1
might change his views. I told the goyerno
1 was afraid we could not carry New Yorl
with Blaine, but he said, eff you will onl
nominate that old mummy up in Gramerc
park, we can carry 1t with any one." wa
sorry to hear the governor speak SO disre
spectfully of Samuel j., and 1 was almos
inclined to send a cipher message to Gram
Grey Park about it.
The Minnesota delegation is coming t.
the front. Barto made speech in the con
vention this morning The motion to ad
journ until p. M, was pending, and tn
chair was about to call for vote, when tn
towering form of Barto loomed up Ever
one knows that motion to adjourn is nc
debatable, but Barto is not to be put dow
by trihes and he was so persistent in hi
shouts of ''Mr. Chalrman,'' and waving c
his hands that the chair finally said, 9th
gentleman from Minnesota has the fioor.''
"Will the chair please state the uuestio
before the house," was Barto's maide
effort.
1t seems to me that I have heard su
: questions asked before in conventions whe
questions were pending, and 1 am almo.
afraid that Barto's speech, in its entikety
least, was not wholly original. Still, gexce,
Sabin's welcoming speech, it is the first pull
lie effort of the delegation, and ought to b
recorded.
Capt Russell Blakeley was dead sure thi
afternoon that Gen. Sherman would be tb
man. As it since transpires that he has ser
both letter and telegram peremptorily d.
clining, the captain may transfer his view
0 to soEle other candidate.
The Daily Neaus declares that Gen. McLare
was holding Office ''when Asa Hutchins so
t was a baby and wore short clothes'' AS til
General and the NeaCs both support Arthur tn
announcement might be regarded as autobit
) graphical.
n. P. Clark, Of st. Cloud. was around tt
headquarters to-nlgnt 10 see II anybody ha
dropped an Indian contract that he coul
pick up.
Gilfllan and Barker have been walkin
d about town to-day and it is so cold in the eli
, tonight that the clothing stores dressed the
wire advertising dummies in buffalo over
r coats.
