While Mckinley has all along declared
his firm convictions that the nomination
should rest with Harrison, the Harrison
forces are against him. This fact arises
in the enthusiasm Of the Presidents can
didacy.. They declare again and again
that they have but one candidate, aud
that is Harrison. 1t was said this morn

that this rumor first made its appear
ance, and for several hours after as many
as half a dozen denials were trying to
overtake it. At the West Hotel this
morning the scene was the most ami
mated of the week. The Blaine contin-
gent were working with the same demon

Both the committees on credentials and
resolutions, which are controlled by
Blaine men and which must report before
