This morning there was nobody In Washing
ton who seemed to have any information about
what the result Of the fight would BIO. Every
body was confident that they would win. and
their opponents were Just as confident that
they would not. Tom Plat put a little life into
the somewhat collapsed New York boom by
coming over on a night train In response to
urgent appeals He could not save the
forlorn hope. however. and accomplished
nothing by his coming. The shadow OF James
G. Blaine was over Washington all day. and
the popularity OF his name centred In the
great crowd at the Arlington Hotel. Mckinley
had his friends there. and so dsl Aleer. and so
did BENJAMIN Harrison. but nothing could stop
the Blaine enthusiasm. which permeated every
nook and corner. and which made things look rs
though national Convention was in ses-
sion in which Blaine was the popular
candidate. Several Of the visiting delegations
called at the White House this morning. and
some Of them went from there to the State De-
partment to whisper word Of hope in the ear
OF the Secretary. Mr.. Blaine was on hand
ready to receive all his visitors in person. He
asked them questions about their States and
joked with those whom he knew. Just as he
did In the good old days before he was accused
Of being political wreck and q dead political
duck. ...l.,, a....,
Mr.. Blaine saw hundreds Of Republicans to-
day. and mono OF them dropped any hint that
he was not the most popular Republican in
the United States. The Michigan delegation
had . particularly pleasant visit with Mr..
Blaine. and the Secretary heard something
which convinced him that Michigan lie now. as
It ever was. an enthusiastic Blaine State. not
withstsnding the fact that Alger is can
didate. Senator Palmer is the best friend
that Harrison has In Michigan. and
politics. having been instrumental in bringing
about the big municipal Republican victory.
Palmer would like to give Harrison Michigan
delegation next year. and he might be able to
do It were It not for Blaine. This afternoon
Mr. Palmer went over to see the President.
and undoubtedly gave him some OF the i'm
pressions which he had received during the
day by meeting with several hundred Repub-
Leans.
Mckinley had his day. too When tho COM
mittee was engaged in discussing preliminary
business this morning Mckinley became the
centre OF the great crowd outside tho commit
tee room doors. and was congratulated right
and left on his election. He aroused much en-
thusiasm and several times he was cheered by
groups Of his admirers.

tive one. Tho large banquet hall Of the hotel.
