CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, June %.
THE convention meets this morning
with the usual rumors OF combinations
flying through the air as thick as black
birds. Everybody is asking his neigh
Dor what he knows and has his own ex-
elusive tip TO impavt to meet any unfa-
vorabie news he may hear from others.
Col. Robeat &. Ipgersoll does not ap-
pear in the hall, but his name is on
many lips and his interrupted speech OF
last night, which appears to have ire
parablv damaged the Gresham boom,
although the Illinois candidates friends
refuse 10 admit this, and still claim that
the convention must come to him event
nally, Bnt as the time for the meeting
OF the convention arrives the Gresham
movement is almost lost sight OF in the
conflict Of opinion rs to the great fight
which is pending at once between Har-
rison aad Allison. Senator Cameron
has prevailed upon Quay, who leads the
Pennsylvania forces, to go into an Alli-
son combination, and the junior Sena-
tor from Pennsylvania went into the
convention last night with
FIPrY-FIvE VOTES FOR ALLISON,
and n firm conviction that the Iowa can
didate would be nominated on the sec
ond or third ballot. He was confused
by the Harrison movementin New York
aud got Hastings to move IN adjourn
ment in order to gain time. Quay was
at work all night fixing up the Allison
fences, and his delegation is now in ses-
sion hearing the news, Ii Quay cannot
succeed with the Allison movement he
may run in with the Harrison tide, but
is more likely to join in n combination
OF the field against the Indiana candi-
date. The friends Of Harrison are
claiming that the Blaine people are COM
ing over TO their man, and that he will
succeed after three ballots. But while
all these rumors and counter rumors fill
the air, a good many long.headed people
are watching man sitting in the Ohio
delegation. A nan with fine, clear cut
face, who is the
PROMISING DARK HORSE
in the race, who, if the convention can
not agree upon any of the candidates
now in nomination, is looked upon as a
winner. This is Congressman McKin-
ley, who has made an excellent impress
sion here and is universally popular. 1t
is noted as q significant fact that MS the
hour Of convening arrives, there are but
few of the leading spirits Of the conven-
ton in the hall. This indicates that
conferences are still going on, and that
no agreement which might prevent q
fight has been arrived at.
While the convention is kept waiting
for call to order, the band in the organ
lott has struck up Marching through
Georria," which has always heretofore
provoked applause, but everybody is SC
DEEPLY ABSORBED
| in attempts to analyze the situation tha
the music makes no impression what
ever.
As the minutes pass there begins tC
grow a strong impression that no resui
will be possible at this mornings ses
sion and that after several ballots, The
convention will take recess. II this is
done, il is considered highly probable
that no nomination will be made beiorC
Monday, by which time it is hoped tina
some one can be agreed upon, which
will nut stop to the deadlock. One
of the best evidences that the Presiden
tial puzzle is as much puzzle as ever, il
the tact that there is comparatively nc
talk about Vice Presidential nominee
CALLED TO ORDER.
The convention was called to order n
iO:Os. but 1t was not until two minute
later when the proceedings were form
ally opened by Chairman Estee callinl
upon Senator Warner Miller, Of New
York, to preside over its deliberations
Bishop Samuel .Fallows, Of Chicago
delivered the invocation.
He called down the Divine blessing
upon the President and all others in au
thority, and the divine protection upol
the stricken general Of the army, who
he prayed, might find another Winches
ter in his brave struggle for life.
, M'ErxLEY FoRBlDs THE USE OF HIS MANI
The convention then proceeded to ba.

As soon as this announcement wa
