meet with the approval Of all factions, pre-
sented the following report to the confer.
ence committee this evening
1.-THE members Of the special committee,
appointed by the conference, do not be-
lieye II justice at this time TO suggest a
ticket for submission 10 the general con.
ference. They further recommend that
no meeting Of the conference committee
be held on Monday morning"
The report was adopted unanimously
without much debate. and the conference
adjourned 10 meet tomorrow.
Chauncey |. Filley, who is member oi
the committee. said that he had no hope
OF n conclusion being reached by the con-
vention tomorrow. al the candidates aud
their friends, he SAID. were manifcsting q
disposition to stand by their guns, and the
fight would open tomorrow on the same
old lines.

The New Workers during tho day de-

today the great crowds had disappeared
and the parlors, halls and rotundas looked
deserted.
William Walter Phelps, Of New jersey,
paid a visit 20 the Illinois headquarters,
and had a long talk with Senator farwell.
This gave rise 10 q widely spread rumor
that Phelps aud Wise people had formed

convention may sit for several days with
out reaching solution of the extraordi-
nary difficulties by which 1t is now sur
rounded.
Little by little, light comes in upon this
phenomenal situation. During the last
few days there has been much talk OF NC
Kinley as dark horse. His name has
been mentioned with favor in many
places. Delegates have voted for him in
convention. There is no doubt that Nc
Kinley has made fine impression,
and that he is popular man on his own
account, but it has been noticed that the
men who were doing all in their power to
press him to the front were Blaine men.
II was Blaine delegate who first voted for
him, and on succeeding roll-calls other
Blaine men followed their example. Fur
thermore, in the conference OF candidates,
the Blaine influence has been exerted in
favor Of adopting Mckinley as the leader
OF the opposition forces, all the anti Blaine
men in the convention concentrating their
strength upon him. This effort to induce
all the other candidates 10 withdraw and
to bring Mckinley forward as dark horse
is Blaine scheme. Just as soon as the
present avowed candidates leave the field
and dark horse takes their place,
BLAINE WILL he NOMINATED.
The logic .of this is easily perceived.
Blaine cannot in honor take this nomina.
ton II II shall be secured by running over
the candidates who entered the field and
did the best they could for themselves;
but II these candidates voluntarily with

draw and dark horse takes their place,
no obligation rests upon Mr.. Blaine as 10
the new conner, who has not been can
didatc, and whose friends have put forth
no efforts In his behalf on the suppostion
that Blaine was out OF the way. An oi-
fort has also been made by the Blaine pco-
pie 10 get Foraker 10 stand as dark
horse, and Foraker has been willing
enough TO do II, and has posed before the
convention with that purpose in view, ona
distinct understanding that II the anti
Blaine influence could be induced TO rally
about him, Blame was 10 beat him out,
the vice presidency being his reward. An
effort has also been made 10 play upon
the ambition Of Mckinley, but without
success. Mckinley has been loyal 10
Sherman. An effort Is also being made 10
bring Cullom forward as n dark horse,
thus destroying Gresham, and in due timo
a similar effort may be made 10 undermine
Harrison by playing upon the ambition OF
ex.Goy. Porter.
THE ANTf.BLANE LEADERS
are not In ignorance OF these adroit tactics
At one moment on Saturday there was
some prospect OF the Mckinley program
succeeding, and John Sherman had really
given the Ohio delegation a release from

were tanning the Mckinley blaze as best
they could in secret, but they oycrplaycd

Republican Policy.

The result of tine local option cleo
ton held in Shiawassee county on
the 24th ult., is one of those victories
for the right that deserve 10 be es-
pecially noted. The result shows
that about two thirds Of the legal votes
of this county are for the humiliation
of the liquor traffic. 1t is the 00iee Of
tie people, and not Of any party Yet
the fact remains thar the local option
law. under which already the saloon
has been banished from fourteen
counties, was republican measure
passed by republican votes, almost
exclusively, and denounced by the
leaders OF the Democratic and Pro-,
hibition parties as a visionary and
inexpedient measure.
But, nevertheless. the local option
law was and is a part of the policy
adopted by the Republicans OF Mich
igan as the most effective way which
could be devised for the humiliation
of the saloon The Republican party
OF Michigan at least, has always been
temperance party. Not all Re-
publicans are total abstinence men,
or friendly to the warfare on the sa-
loon. But in all effective organiza.
tons the majority must rule. This
Republicans understand, and even
the Duffields and men of their way
of thinking understand full well that,
at least, ninety per cent of the re-
liable Republican voters of the
State are for theprohibition Of the
liquor traffic, and for just such meas
urers as will do most to outlaw
it. The Republican members of the
Legislature understood this, and SO,
when constitutional prohibition had
been defeated, at once devised and
passed the Local Option Law, as the
next best step for pulverising the sa-
loon. The TIMES glories in the law,
and in the manner in which the peo-
pie of every county when an election
has been held have by their votes
vindicated the Republican policy.
