REVIEW OF THE FIELD.
Indiana Not Solid for Esrrison-An AL
legged Deal With California;

for the first ballot The coterie of men who are
standing t0eether and trying to keep things in
good faith hope u finish the nominating
speeches tomorrow and get a ballot to-morrow
night Before a ballot wi be taken the e will
be no material change in the situation. De-
pews friends are not doing much by him.
James Hustled and ex-Collector Robinson are
about the only men who are making a serious
effort to promote the Depew movement. Depew
will devoted for probably on not more than two
or three ballots
THE CLIMAX IS TO COME
When New York breaks up, and on New York S
choice, after Depew, the nomination may de-
pend. In the New York delegation at this time
there is not very good feeling. Many of the dele
gates feel that the Depew candidacy was q
blunder, destroying the only chance that New
York had OF uniting OH candidate who could
succeed, and thus exercising controlling infiu-
ence. 1t will be impossible to unite New York
on another candidate. About half the delega-
ton is likely to go TO Harrison. Hiscock fayors
the 1ndlanan, and Platt is about tn give up
Alger AMI join Hiscock, Phelps of New Jersey
and Elkins in the Harrison combination.
Warner Miller is still inc ined toward Sher
man. and if Depew should join him the delega-
tion would split in two parts of about equal
strength for Harrison and Sherman, with scat
| tering votes for other candidates.
While no absolute pledges have been made,
New Jersey, Ma yland and parts of New Eng
| land are for Harrison. and he will show up
| strongly a ter the complimentary ballots are
| finished AT the same time Harrison is losing,
rather Than gaining strength on the discussion OF
MS aVallaolllty, or yote-getting quality, which
is now so general.
SURE WINNER WANTED.
1t is seen that the predominating thought in
| the Convention is TO get man who can be
ele"ted. A large number of organized labor
men from Indianapolis and other cities are
! called the tfn-p il candidate Some of the
| strongest influences in the country are at work
| for Harrison. 1t is conceded tnat he has the
best corps of political workers in the fell. The
ifntiI nd 1fNfc
| Elkins, New aud Duftey are not to be desoised
, aided as they are by Senator Hiscock and Will
| lam Walter Phelps.
A HoosIER BLUNDER.
| The Harrison csmpaigners made their first
| mistake this morning I'd to this time they had
| handled the situation in their own State with
| great style Though il has all along been known
| to the insiGers that the Indiana delegatio q
while apparently solid for Harrison, has within
I 1t eight or ten Gresham men, the Harrison
managers, BY letting the Gresham delegates
| alone and carefully avoiding all formal contro-
| versies, had succeeded in convincing the Cou.
ventlon thai the State solid for their man
| To-day they made the blnnoer of calling the
| Indiana delegation together and attempting
| to pass resolution to the effect that Indians
! should vote s>,lidly for Harrison until tue ma
| jority indicated wish TO change to anotbei
| candidate. This resolution was received with
| much disfavoT. Some of the & esham mRr
| present declared that they would not be boauC
by the reso ution II II passed. and it being ap
| parent that the Gre nam men and conservatiy,
delegates opposed - the unit rule were IN tn,
/ msjority, the resolution was Withdrawn. thus
by q blunder, the Harrison men have made
apparent that Indiana is not solid for Hsrri-on
aud the moral victory al least is with The oppc
sition.
A GRESHAM CARD.
One OF the cards which the Gresham mar
sgfrs have been relying on is break of tn
Indiana vote, and II they should spring hi
on the Convention simultaneously with
change OF Wisconsin from RasK to Gresham,
: might start astampede to the latter,
