Harrison Started In to Create One, but
Failed.
MINNEAPOLIS May 3O.-The Blaine repub-
licans are elated and the Harrison men oor-
respondingly depressed over the failure OF
the systematic effort which the Harrison
wing of the Afro-American league made to
secure an Endorsement of the present ad-
ministration in the form of commenda-
tory resolution. That there was syste.-
matte effort to made to swing the colored
vote of Minnesota i'll line for Harrison IL
admitted bv those in position TO know.
This attempt was secoeded by the oflcenol-
ders aud their friends, who, the anti Har-
rison men decar,, want to keen in touch
with the present administration to perpstu-
atethemselves in power. But the friends OF
the Harrison resolution are ready with an
explanation. They declare that they
merely wanted to endorse the republican
marty and could not do so without lnclud-
ing the president in the eul(istlc embrace. IN >.
II fuct, they say that the Nend Justified
means at once diplomatic and pointed.
But the anti -Harrisonites and the oppo-
nents of Rev. Dunjeess resolutions. fiatly
declate that the statement that Harrison
had been the most just toward our people,"
ETC., is erroneous. Rev. ID. A. Graham. OK

minded delegate at the convention yester-
day. but nevertheless he had TINS say ahehs
the Harrison resolutions:

insist upon it, continued young Mr.. Har-
rison, "then he will allow his name to 90
before the convention, but not under any
other, circumstances. He certainly would
not be candidate if he consulted only his
family. Personally he had rather retire to

is willing to observe the wishes Of the ma

not the happiest one. The president
can't sail about with golden wings. He is

he sees very little Of his family. Then he
cannot even take walk without being
waylaid by office seekers. In many respects
it is worry disagreeable existence, and l
