A LARGER VOTE FOR ALGER.
tc.n,,n.ed from First Pass1

pravcd fer Blainc's nomination, because they nc
loved his namo tho strongest the Republican
marty coald offer TO the country, were eager 10
push on and nominate him this afternoon. Ihey
argued that fair chance had been given to all
the candidates Sherman had had along lead. and
vet could not be nominated. Then Harrison had
been given o good chance, and he, too, was uhaoie
to reach the goal. II was not believed by TINS
wing that even an entirely new man like MclAn-
ley would be any more likely to unite the Conven-
ton.
In this situation the underlying Blaine interests
which had been kept down in obedience to
Blaine's letter and out Of q desire to give tho
other candidates a fair chance to win the prize
came 10 the surface. A large majority OF the
Ohio delegation, which was really Blaine rather
than Sherman delegation, sent word TO the
specal friends of Mr. Blaine that they were
ready TO vote for him. Offers Of this kind were
coming in on all sides and the expectation OF
many was that the nomination would be made
Immediately upon reassembling, or at all events
after one or two ballots.
DESIRING THE CONSENT OF THE CANDIDATES.
There was another wing. however, who took
n more cautious and conservative view. They
felt that some of Mr.. Blainc's enthusiastic friends
were in danger of placing him in false position.
Other candidates were still in the field, who had
announced themselves as such only when Mr.
Blaine had declared that he was not candidate
To force him suddenly into the field against them
would it was thought, put him IN enuireiy
wrong light before the party and the country
Il was thought best, therefore, to walt for
time and see whether the other candidates would
not practically withdraw in Mr.. Balne's favor'
thus making the nomination, If 1t came to nm,
spontaneous offer on their part instead OF an
4 ala In apdf
convention contest.
Time being necessary TO bring about this I'M
derstanding of all the interests concerned, 1t was
proposcd that the Convention should adjourn I'M
M Monday without ballot The motion was
nromutlv made when the Convention reassembied
n, 4 o'clock by General King, of Maryland, and
n call of the roll by States was ordered. The
vote was q mixed one. The Blaine strength as
rule was cast for adjournment but the other
candidates divided. Illinois and Iowa voted Tor
adjournment, Michigan and Indiana sodly against
il.
BLAINE MEN NOW CONFIDENT
New-Yorlx called out great applause by YOUNG
solidlv against adjournment. The total vote was
400 to S22 The delegates returned to their
hotels, thoroughly weared To all appearances
a general truce was declared for few hours.
Politics was abandoned, and the delegates amused
themselves or rested, while strange quiet set
tied down upon the scene. The expectation OIL
the friends of Mr. Blaine is that he Will be NOM
mated on Monday. with either General Aiger'
Governor Foraker. or General Harrison as vice.
President The Blaine men count on getting
such a concurrence by that time that he VIII re-
ceive the nomination in way satisfactory 10
them. The nomination is opposed. however, py
a number Of delegates who believe that as MI
| Blaine has withdrawn and there is great I'M
certainty as to whether he would accept he should
not be nominated The present expectation is
that William Mckinley will be put forward as the
candidate of this element. though there is talk
