wanted no empty honor. He was salts
fed to let some other man run for con-
gress and spend his money for defeat.
He would have nothing of it. He was a
delegate i'm the Montgomery convention
that elected the delegates to the ma
tional convention. There was big
fight in Montgomery on that day. Ala
bama sends contrasting delegation to
Minneapolis.
1T is my opinion that these contes
tants are making n mistake" said Mr..
Smith. in talking about that contest in
mis- state. You see, they will come here
without a grievance. These fellows
that are coming up here to make fight
against the regular delegation were not
elected in state convention. 1t was a
mass meeting. The men who sent them
here had no grievance. They had a
grievance at first but they should have
aired it in the state convention.
They should have gone to the
state convention. If they were
thrown out of that then
they would have something TO fight for.
What did they do? They never went
near the convention. They went up TO
Montgomery, hired hall aud held a
convention of their own. ignoring the
state convention which had been
regularly called and regularly held. So
they have nothing to stand on in the
fight they expect to make here.
The first question the chairman of the
national committee on credentials will
put to them is, Were you thrown out of
the state conventiOn% They must say
no, that they did not go to the state con-
vention. And there they will fall"

ALGER AND BLAINE.

Sanborn, of Michigan, Thinks
Their Friends May Pull To-
gether..
J.P. Slnborn, of Port Huron, the
Michigan member of the national COM
mittee, is one of the quieteSt politicians
that has so far arrived in Minneapolis.
Mr.. San5orn CON IS as memoer OF the
national committee, not as delegate.
Outside of his duties as a member or
the committee he is merely spectator.
He spends most of his time sitting In
the quiet corners of the West hotel eX-
change and reaaing what the Michigan
newspapers have to say.
"Who is the probable choice of the
convention, Mr.. Sanbornw a GLOBE
reporter asked of him.
"Really, / could not tell. l am not q
politician. am not taking part Ill the
movements for candidates."
us Gen. Alger possibility"
"Why not? Gen. Alger is fine man,
and would make good president"
"Will he have the support of the
Michigan delegation"
He most certainly will. Let me tell
YOU another thing: Gen. Alger will have
a good many more votes in that cOnVen-
ton than he is given credit for. | don't
pretend to say how many he will have
outside of the Michigan delegation, but
he. will have more than have been
counted for him yet" s.
do you place any faith i'll the story
that the Blaine boom is All Alger boom,
or that the Alger boom is, IN reality, a
movement for Blaine?'
Il don't know. Why should it be
either? Both are strong men and have

ent of the other. AS | see it, this is

will be nominated. He takes the same
ground that all of the other Harri-
son shouters do. lie does not
say that Harrison will poll more
votes than will Blaine. He simply
thinks that Mr.. Blaine should be
taken at his word. He refers to the oft
quoted letter of Blame'S TO Clarkson.
In that letter Blaine unequlvocally
stated that he was not a candidate for
the nomination, and that his name would
not be proposed at the Minneapolis con
yention. Gen. Clayton says that he has
not since that time heard anything from
Mr.. Blaine that would indicate change,
of heart on the part of the Maine man.
He goes on the assumption that Blaine
is out of the race. Counting Blaine out,
there is no man who can win against
Harrison.

Other Five North Dakota Dele
gates. z@ . zls7--
Some Of the Dakota delegates dropped
into the city yesterday. Gerald Pierce
is one of them. Mir. Pierce is son OF
Gilbert A. Pierce, the editor of the Min
neapolis Tribune. 1t is unnecessary to
say that he is Harrison man. He be-
lieves that Harrison should be nominal
ed and that he will be nominated. He
says the North Dakota delegation is
for Harrison. But he says that when
the air is filled with rumors
and shouts for Blaine. Get him off into
a corner and talk to him confidentially,
and he will say ihat he is little afraid
of the North Dakota delegation. Sen
ator HaDsbrOugh is the man who Is be-
ing watched by the North Dakota Har
rlsOn men. MIR. Pierce has evidently
come down so long before the conven-
lion to keep all eye Oh HansbrOugh and
see that he does not steal any OF the
North Dakota men during the silent
watches of the night. when all foul
crimes are perpetrated, according to the
story papers.
"Yoa see, it's this way" said Mr..
Pierce to a GLOBE man. "Some of
these delegates am afraid of. North
Dakota is for Harrison. OF that there
is no doubt. But HansbrOugh is Il
power in North Dakota politics. He is
making a fight on Hansbrough. Some
of the delegates are afraid that if they
vote for Harrison HansbrOugh may
turn them down i'll the future. SO they
may be influenced, through fear of him.

Chauncey Depew's Position Con-
sidered a Strong One by Them.
The declaration of Hon. Chauncey NJ.
Depew in Chicago last night that, hav
ing always been Blaine man, he was
entitled to have received an intmation
if there was any intention on the part of
Blaine to he a candidate, and that,
having received no such intima-
ton, he has taken the letter to
Clarkson as official and final,
has had slight tendency toward damp
ening the ardor of the local and visiting
Blaine boomers. Depew's position is
admitted by them to be strong one,
especially as he bases it upon the per
sonal ground that the old and tried
friends of the secretary of state have
right to claim his confidence and be adj
vised by him precisely where he stands,
without equivOcatiOn or hedging. Clark
son and FasSett combat Depew's posi-
ton by asserting that Blaine is still not
a candidate, but that his party will
nominate him, and that he will then
bow obedience to his party.

CHANGED HIS MIND.
Secretary Noble Gives Up His Idea
of Attending the Convention.

- Secretary of the Interior Noble had
intended to attend the convention, and
only abandoned the intention last
night. This rather surprising informa-
ton came to the committee on &C
commodation after they had fully
expec ted the secretary Of the in
terror 10 be here with his family.
Secretary Noble is something of
an every day politician when at home in
ST Louis, however austere he is in his
pablo lie, and until a day or two ago
he had fully intended to attend the con-
,yention. 1t is presumed that he did not
desire to subject the administration to
any possible, criticism by his presence,
as he only. abandoned his intentions
after it became apparent that there
would be some opposition to the presi-
dents denomination.

AN APPALLING RECORD.
Reports From Illinois Counties
Visited by Floods.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The secretary of
the state board of health, DR.. OpReilly,
today received returns of flood losses
from nineteen Illinois counties more or
less affected by the Mississippi valley
inundation. Of these the most
serious are Monroe and Randolph. In
these two counties there is an area of
166 square miles under from two to ten
feet of water; $4,000 acres of cultivated
lands are damaged to the amount OF
81, 800, 600: more than 100 families, en-
bracing nearly 5000 people, have been
driven from their homes, and many are
absolutely destitute. 40. - :.
1t is estimated that it will require at
least 100000 to support the most needy
of these people until they can again be-
come self-sustaining. The two counties
specially mentioned are said to be fair
samples of the entire region below East
ST. Louis. The Chicago board Of trade
today appointed a committee to solicit
subscriptions for the sufferers.
