the field. The influence, energy
and adroitness of such men
at Elkins, New and Rublee are not to
be despised, aided as they are by
Senator Hiscock and William Walter
Phelps. Harrison campaigners made
their first mistake this morning. Up to
this time they had handled the situation
in their own state with great skill.
though it has all along been known to
insiders that the Indiana delegation,
while apparently solid for Harrison, has
within it eight OF ten Gresham men.
The Harrison managers, by letting the
Gresham delegates alone and carefully
avoiding all formal controversies. had
succeeded in convincing the convention
that the state was solid for their man.
To-day they
MADE THE BLUNDER .
of calling the Indiana delegation to-
gether and attempting to pass reso-
luton to the effect that Indiana should
vote solid for Harrison until the major
ity indicated a wish to change to
another candidate. This resolution
wis received with much dis
favor. Some of the Gresham
men present declared they would
not be bound by the resolution if it
passed, and it being apparent that the
gresham IIl6ll anu Ill0 CONSERVATIVE Q6l =
egates opposed to the unit rule were in
the majority, the resolution was with
drawn. Thus by a blunder the Har-
rison men have made it apparent that
Indiana is not solid for Harrison, and
the
MORAL VICTORY, AT LEAST,
is with the opposition. One of the cards
which Gresham managers have been re-
living on is break of the Indiana vote,
and if they should spring this on the
convention simultaneously with the
change of Wisconsin from Rusk
to Gresham, it might start
stampede to the latter

Blaine boom, became more than ever ap-
parent in the convention when Estee in
dicated that California had no candidate.
Some of the California delegates refused
to ratify the bargain to give up Blaine,
and it has been found impossible to car
ry out the programme arranged by the
leaders to unite Oh Stanford for COM
plimentary ballot. A compromise has
now been arranged by which California
will not put Blaine in nomination, but
some of her delegates, led by Raymond
and De Young, will vote for him from

would be lauded to the skies. Estee
contented himself with an address of

CHICAGO, June 20.-At this point Mr..
Roche, of Chicago, came forward with a
magnificent gavel, gift to the conven-
ton from tile citizens of Chicago. This
gavel is very handsome affair. 1t is
beautiful piece of workmanship, twelve
inches in length and weighing thirty
three ounces, twenty-five of which are
of silver and eight of gold. The handle
is nine inches in length, of solid silver,
twisted, at the top of which are two
escuteheons of the United States, in
gold and enamel. Above this is the
American eagle, bearing on its back the
gaveI proper, which is of silver, bear
ing upon it the names of the thirty-eight
states of the Union. At each end is
heaNs gold plate, upon one of which is
A THREE-CARAT DIAMOND

and at the other end is engraved,

COndoIed by the Convention.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 20.-Mr. Wellington,
of Maryland, sent up resolution eN-
pressing sympathy with the German
nation in the hour of her deep sorrow.
In moving the adoption of the resolu<
ton, Mr.. Wellington said that when
America was in need of friends. when
England was furnishing ammunition to
its enemies, the German empire was it's
staunch friend. Mr.. Harris, of North
Carolina, submitted as a substitute a
resolution which, he said, had been app
proved by the committee on resolutions.
The substitute was accepted by Mr.,
Wellington and adopted by rising
vote, and is as follows:
We tender to the German people our heart,
felt sympathy i'll the double loss they have
recently sustained in the decease of the great
man under whose reign Germany has be-
come a united nation. and that other great
man. his liberalminded, peace loving and
noble son.

It was their desire to go ahead and effect
