WASHINGTON. D. G., June 10.-The
impression prevails here among those
close of the administration that Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew, of New York, will be
rendered the position Of secretary OF
state, to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation OF James G. Blaine. There
appears to be no doubt but that the
name OF Mr.. Depew has been discussed
by the President and his associates, but
it is not known whether he would ac-
cept or not. Should he do SO, and Mr..
Harrison is reelected, he would proba-
bly, be retained next March. when the
cabinet will be somewhat reorganized.

a NIGHT on ENrNusIAsM.

The enthusiasm last evening in COR
vention hall, taken all in all, was dis.
tinctly aud overwhelmingly for James
G. Blaine. While the Harrison people
appeared to have. a majority OF the
delegates, three-fourths OF tho audience
in the galleries were apparently adj
mirers Of the Plumed Knight and lost
no opportunity to demonstrate their
admiration. And so the Harrison vic
tory in the popular effect was received
with but very little enthusiasm, and
while the Blaine leaders after the test
ballot appeared decidedly crestfallen
there was no dimInution OF Blaine en-
thusiasm from the galleries. The votes
in some OF the great states OF the Union,
those which exert such an immense in.
huence on all political conventions
showed what the power OF organization
can do in the councils Of the Republic
can party. In the state OF Pennsyl-
vania it was demonstrated that. despite
all the occurrences OF the past few
months, Senator Matt Quay is still su-
preme in leadership in the Keystone
State. In New York the result of d.
vided leadership was fully apparent
While torty.fve voters swung into line
under Platt, Fassett and Miller for the
cause Of the man from Maine, twenty.
seven followed the courtly Depew and
the persistent Hiscock in support Of the
administration. In Colorado, and in
deed all tho silver states the vote is
soiidiy cast against the administration.
Illinois produced surprise and de-
monstrated the uncertainty Of Chicago
politics by giving 10 votes for Blaine,
while the administration people had
only been conceding him IL or 10.

point OF order is that this is not in order
pending a roll call. Every delegate on
this floor has the right to vote. We
want to vote and intend to do it.
The chair-The rules Of Congress are
n vogue and an eminent interpreter of
those rules says that we may suspend
the rules at any point by two-thirds
NJ. Hart-During roll call never.
Chairman-This is the ruling OF q
most distinguished parliamcntarian.
Governor McKinley-There are states
as understand it that have not been
reached that desire to record their vote.
Mr. Hart-That Is the whole thing.
Governor McKinley-And their de-
sire is TO record their votes in the direc-
ton OF my motion, and l therefore en-
able them to do that by withdrawing
my motion.
"Hurrah for Mckinley" shouted a
stentorian voice in the gallery and the
cheer was taken up till the Napoleon Of
tariff reform was compelled to Bow his
acknowledgements. The roll call con-
tinued and OF course from that time on
showed steady and significant gains for
Harrison. AT the end it was obvious
that he was nominated by consider
able majority, but it required the
clerks q long time to loot up the result.
THE clerks will announce the results OF
the roll call, said Chairman Mckinley
hall an hour later, he having resumed
the chair in the interval.

There was a storm of ayes. Chair
man Mckinley never put the negative.
ut is unanimous" said he, at 4:36 p.
M, and snce more the convention gave
itself oversto one OF those scenes OF en-
thusiasln which had become SO familiar
to the proceedings of the day. A dele
gate moved to adjourn until s o'clock p.
M, and although there was disposition
to finish up the work at once, the mo-
ton prevailed and the convention ad.
journed until that hour.
Immediately after the adjournment
the rumors went forth that Whitelaw
Reid, the gifted editor Of the New York
Tribune, had been selected by the dele
gates OF New York as their candidate
for Vice President, and that he would
receive the solid vote OF the Empire
state. THIS report spread with light
ming rapfdity. Although it was not
authoritatively confirmed by the New
York delegation, the boom Of the ex-
diplomat at once become q formidable
movement.

CONVENTION HALL, MINNEAPOLIS, June
1O-There is every indication this
morning that the leaders OF the Blaine
forces are still uudaunted, and that
sharp and bitter contest between the
rival forces is in prospect. When the
gray dawn broke over the convention
city this morning it found the leaders
of the two great factions OF the Repub-
lican party marshaling their forces for
that decisive contest which was soon to
come for political supremacy. The
night had been sleeplcss one to nearly
all OF those who assume to direct every
secret conference and every move on
the political chess board. The Harrison
people felt that il they could hold their
own, victory was assured. The Blaine
people were convinced that if the ad.
ministration candidate was to be de-
feated, every straggler must be rallied
and supreme effort be made to break
the forces OF the administration in the
states OF favoritism.
The effect OF the test vote in last
nights convention was to Undue the
I1hIEIaOh leuuGLa WIN IVAby SphuAGllG1t
and to convince the rank aud file of the
Blaine boomers that the man from
Maine was not to be selected with pop
ular acclaim which had been fervently
contemplated. In the vast audience OF
1900 people, there was not a single
person whodid not understand that the
vote on the Alabama question shorn OF
of all its technicalities was really a
vote on the preferences Of delegates for
Benjamin Harrison and James G.
Blaine. When the Harrison forces
came off the victors their enthusiasm
for brief time reminded one OF the ia
miliar scenes OF the great conventions
of Grant and Conkling and Logan, but
this was for a few minutes only and
gave place to the reflection that the ma
iority was SO hazardously low that
every effort must be exerted to make in
roads on the administration forces dur
ing the conferences OF the night.
