Young and Henry G. Gage, of Califor-

gallery waved United States flags. The
enthusiastic admirers of Blaine at
tempted to bring up to the platform

objection made TO it that it was carried
back again.

The sensation Of the day was q with
draWal from the contest of Chauncy NJ.
Depew and the decision of the New
York delegation to support EX-Senator
Harrisoa for President. 1t has for some
days been apparent that Depsw could
aot hope for the nomination and he has
bssn fesling considerable chagrin that
he should have been led into the mis-
take or allowing his name to be pre-
sRnted Htcr the three ballots in tbs first
session OF the convention to-day, bal
lots in which the measure varied from
the complimentary statues. Depeg re

decision TO withdraw and tke four dele

leasae Platt has favored Alger. Miller
has besn Sherman man, Depew has
had no second choice, and the other

1ueRce for the man whom Depew might

but which effort is first to be made to
nominate Harrison. Dspew selected
Indiana, and sitter Depew mad formally
withdrawn, the New York delegation de-
cided by vote of Is 70 IS to follow
his leadership. Much excitement
prevailed upon this decision becoming
known anu Harrison's nomination &C
the evening session was fully predcte1.
But while the cup of victory appeared
to be theirs, c'ese ato Harrison's lips,
manOu vres interfered and for the time
being at least, dashed it away. Friends
of all the other candidates united in
forcing the argument, thus preventing
balloting, and at the same time forcing
the com bination to show its strength.
This tactical victory for the opposition
established the fact that Harrison has

that he can be beaten by another can

ton may be conferred
CHICAGO, June 22-It is said Tonight
that Senator Quay, of Pennsylvsnia,
favor Allison, but powerful efforts
baye been made to bring him into the
Harrison combination. IT is apparent
that for the programme of a number OF
friends OF Blaine, he has been and ig to
prevent the making of any nomination,
thus bringing on a deadlock and q pos
sibility of Blaine. The programme,
as outlined last night, was that
early in the balloting Sherman
was to have his chance for nomination,
and falling, was to fall back beaten, .
Then Harrison was to have his turn,
when IN to-day's balloting, Indiana,
which Harrison managed, had been
claimed unanimous. gave Gresham one
vote on the first ballot and two on the
second, and Gresham had q larger
number than Harrison, standing next
to Sherman. The belief was general,
that Harrison had been defeated as
well as Sherman, and thst Allison
would be the next TO be taken
up, bat Dspsw's action gave unex-
son movement. It is significant
however, that the friends of Blaine in
the New England States voted for ad-
journment. Maine, Arkansas and Cali
fornia voting "yea" unanimously.
This means that the influences closest
to Blaine, excepting EIkins. do not in
tend TO permit the nomination of Har-
rison II they Can prevent it. The vote
on adjournment shows Harrison's
to be about 275, and the cues
ton If he can get the 40 votes still
nee6ed. Twelve Illinois voted
against adjournment, indicating that
there is detection from Gresham in
the state, which shows itself in a tacti-
cal vote rather than in Op:n revolt.
Wisconsin has joined the Harrison
At midnight dozens of conferences
are being held. Little will be known
concerning the result until the conven-
ton meets in the morning. Much of
the success of the Harrison movement
depends largely upon the position Sem
ator Quay takes and his ability to carry

Most Of the Pennsylvania delegates are
Blaine men, and as distinctiVely Blaine

meeting tonight and decided to stand
or Sherman until every member of the
delegation demands poll, this means
hat while the State is now unit for
Sherman. Individual preferences may

7otes will be cast for both Lar

defeated in few ballots. Then Allison
