g. 1888.
at once put out aud the audience dispersed
The convention was adjourned by combin-
alton of delegates who feared the nomination
of Harrison. New York men on the with
drawal of Depew, at his request decided to
support Harrison. Sixty-fve of their votes
will probably be thrown for him
tomorrow. The success of the
Harrison movement depends largely upon
Senator Quay to take the votes from Penn
sylvania with him. Most of the Pennsylva-
mia delegates are Blaine men. The distinc-
lively Blaine States have for the first time
in voting for an adjournment this evening
shown their hands boldly and that in
opposition to the Harrison combination. The
conviction is current that Harrison can't be
nominated.
The Ohio delegation held meeting tonight
and decided to stand for Shsr-
man until some members of the del
egation demands a poll. This means
while the State is now in unit for Sherman
individual preferences may be exercised at
any time. Doubtless votes will be cas-, for
both Foraker and Mckinley tomorrow,
with much better chance of attracting atten-
/
and much talked about tonight as dark
horse
| Summing up the situation it is to the effect
that Harrison has about an even chance to
win. If Pennsylvania does not come to his
assistance and the Sherman strength
of the south holds aloof, he will
be defeated in few ballots.
Then Allison is to be taken up and if he can
not win, the nomiutaion of Blaine may be
expected, probably after conference with
the representatives of the leading candidates.
| There were renewed rumors of authoritative
expressions from Blaine that he will accept.
Unless Harrison is nominated tomorrow
morning the convention will probably sit
until Monday. Every delay increases the
probability of Blaine's nomination.
Not Satisfied.
CHICAGO. June 22.
| Miss Susan B. Anthony d Mrs. Isabella
Beecher Hooker, upon reading the platform
| as adopted by the convention yesterday is
sued an address to the republican party re-
viewing the history of the woman suffrage
movement-the great work of women for the
preservation of the Union, their self abnega-
ton in working for the acknowledgements of
The negro while being themselves disfran-
chised, and the action of the various repub-
lican conventions on suffrage petitions. The
address then says:
Now in 1888, we were courteously received
by your committees and listened to for thirty
minutes, and again the platform is silent
Although majority of the men who help us
in Congress are republicans, yet as forbear-
ance has ceased to be a virtue, we now cease
to hope for justice from republicans as a
party and look to the prohibitionsis who have
always recognized woman's equality with
man. Yet, mindful of the past, we ask you
to construe your platform as To include wom-
en- in the term "citizens to whose personal
rights and liberties you affirm answering
devotion. Will you not have such resolu-
tons brought before the convention and al
low us to speak in their behalf?

Notes.
| Mr.. Thurston was seen in his rooms in the
Ora nd Pacific Hotel and when asked about
the portion of his address referring to Mr..
Blaine declared in the most emphatic man
ner that he didn't intend to convey the idea
that the nomination of Mr.. Blaine under any
circumstances would be political crime.
What he meant was that to make Mr. Blaine
an avowed candidate before the convention
would be unwise aud unfair to the great
| leader.
II think" says he. ''that there is no man
living on this continent who is more sim
cere friend of Mr. Blaine than myself. Moth
ing would give me greater pleasure than to
zee HIM nominated in this convention under
such circumstances as would be honorable
to himself and promise a successful
campaign. But / did feel and do feel
that some enthusiasts who, in my judgment,
are preparing to do an unwise thing, were
trying to force his name into the convention
