that the free silver vote will 60 to the

the Republicans and the Democrats on that
point. In 1890 the Republican plurality

bOom-ta-ra; Blaine is In for to stay" This
Is the logic Of the arguments which haye
been employed all through to-day and are
being urged with great vehemence and
noise tonight for the purpose of convinc-
ing the delegates that Dir. Blaine
should be nominated for the presi-
dency. The Blaine boom is built on
noise and the great effort of the opposition
to President Harrison is now to create EN-
thusiasm" by noise. At the Nicolett Hotel
this morning the Pennsy lvania contingent
OF Senator Quay arrived. There were two
hundred men In the crowd. AS soon as
they landed in front of the hotel
they assumed the lock-step and
began screaming the above shibboleth
at the top of their voices. The cong
was taken up by the Blaine bystanders.
and for q few minutes the corridors of the
hostlery rang with the new cam paign in
vention. 1t was caught up in other hotels
and public places, and for an hour or two
seemed to threaten the seizure of the city.
Simply the echoes are being heard to. night.
and the cool heads who have to carry the
burdens of the campaign predict that In
twenfy-four hours the Blaine cyclone will
have passed over Minneapolis.
Tomorrow morning another phase of the
manufactured enthusiasm is promised.
Major A. w. Clancy. the we'll known cam
paign enthusiasm manufacturer from Iowa,
is here as the chief bugleman for Chairman
Clarkson. This evening / was escorted by

READY FOR AN EMERGENCY.
The friends of President Harrison are
braced for an emergency. They are de-
termined that they will not DO stampeded.
They know that the thinking men in the
convention have had enough of campaigns
made by few men to order. and that
man cannot be elected to the presidency by
bluster alone. When the novelty OF these
demonstrations has worn away it
is tho belief Of such men as
G. NJ. Depew. Joseph Cannon of Illinois.
Governor Mckinley of Ohio. and other
Republicans who have had experience in
constructing bases for successful cam
psigns. that the tide will rapidly turn to
the thinking element of the convention.
and that the majority which has already
been secured for President Harrison Will
be largely augmented.
