THE DENVER DRUM CORPS.

tage in the instructions which bind many
whose first choice would be the statesman
from Maine. The situation is an embar-
RAISING oneto all such. Take the delegation
from Iowa as an example. The state is a
Blaine state and yet majority OF the
delegation will vote for Harrison. This is
explained by Mr.. Wheeler who headed the
ticket for governor, to be due to the sup
position that Mr.. Blaine would not be a
candidate, and the management being left
to those not heretofore active, care was
taken to select those friendly to the admin
istration. This has been interpreted to
mean rebuke to Mr.. Clarkson-a mistake
which, was emphaticaliy corrected to-day
in the ....
UNANIMOUS REFLECTION OF MR.. GARRISON
to represent the state on the national COM
mittee. Then there is the Illinois delga-
ton. which is understood to stand thirty
two for Harrison TO sixteen for Blaine-a
larger number for the latter than was at
first supposed. Mr.. Raymond and two dis
trict delegates refuse to be bound by instruc-
tions which they claim were given when
the conditions were different, and when it
was supposed Mr.. Blaine would not allow
his name to be used. They feel abso.ved
by the change. and claim that they have
right Judge of their duty in their rela-r
lations to their constituents. George B..
Swift. another Blaine friend in the Illinois
delegation, construes his obligation differ
emily. He will follow his instructions and
vote lor Harrison, although he would pre-
Ter to vote ior Blaine. Sheriff James II.
Gilbert will do the same; but if the presi-
dent should fail of nomination Oh the
first ballot, Mr.. Gilbert would be likely to
change to Blaine. There are Others in
other delegations who would also change
after first ballot. --' "
The Harrison managers are displaying
first class generalship in keeping their
forces pledged 10 vote for the president
first. They confidently count on nomi-
nation on the first ballot, and the figures
they exhibit are confirmed from informa-
ton from other sources. There is not a.
doubt that If the convention We're to reach
vote tomorrow 49,. -
MR.. HARRISON WOULD WIN.
From the ranks of the great multitude of
uncommitted harmony seeking Republic
cans, there has suddenly sprung up strong
movement Tor Mckinley as a compromise
candidate. In Ohio alone does this move
ment fail to evoke the enthusiasm that is
requisite to success. The Foraker and Sher-
man 1actional contests have long divided
the Republicans of that state. and the fact
that Mckinley has recently been accused
of favoring the Sherman element has
provoked unfeigncd hostility from certain
OF the Foraker delepates. Foraker states
his belief that Sherman could receive the
solid support OF Ohio should the other
states turn to the Buckeye delegation for
candidate, but he has made no public dec
laration as to the availability of Mckinley.
Should Sherman be elevated to the presi-
dency. the Fora ker men would almost GER
tainly triumph in the election of their chief
to tie senate as his successor, while no spe-
cial benefit would result rom the elevation
OF Mckinley. Despite the GOODNESS with
which the Mckinley movement is received
by certain OF the Ohio delegates, however.
there is no doubt the prevailing sentiment
to-day is for the Buckeye governor if the
acrimony Of the contest should demand a
compromise candidate to save the party.
Of the midnight rumors one of the most
interesting is that some OF the delegates
from the South which have been claimed
for Harrison will record their votes Tor Nc
Kinley after the second ballot. as some
thing in the nature of a teeler This would
be repetition OF history OF the Chicago
convention of TOUR wears ago.
Gov. Mckinley said to- night, speaking of
the reported detection of Southern dele
gates: "Yes, they will keep on getting
votes from the South until the baIloting
begins"
A care 'ul canvass made by Mr. Harrison,e
people this evening shows that he can lose
fifty Southern votes and still be nominated
on the first ballot:
