son in the field the result Of the 10th Re-
publican National Convention will leave be-
bind il hard feelings and hostility tosa ards
the successful candidate.
( &Thls fact has given rise tonight TO rumcrs
of dark horses and compromise candidates.
There Is no doubt that desire for third
candidate is growing in the public mind and
against this growing sentiment both factions
feel that they must nov compete, The
name most Frequently mentioned among the
lSt Of dark horses is William Mckinley,
Jr. Inquiries are alreafl, being made rs 10
his ability to receive the solid support Of
the Ohio delegation. The vital question
Would Foraker and bis friends favor
Mckinley:" is answered IN the affirmative
tonight by many of foraker's friends, The
ex. governor himself maintains silence.
Ii is rumored that Senator John Sherman
would be Foraker's favorite in ease the
| Buckeye delegation WAS called upon 10 fur
nish candidate, as Foraker would almos,
certainly succeed Sherman ia the Senate
should the latter he called 10 the fresi-
leney sherman, too, has hosts of friends
in other state delegations, but he is no more
popular than the Young Napoleon of pro-
lection.
The name of Alger is still the watchwor,l
of the Michigan delegation, and his name
will certainly be presented to the conyep-
ton. Most of the delegates from his state
are for Blaine for second choice, hut the
generals closest friends are rather cherish
ing the hope tina, recent developments may
be sach that the Blaine people will rally 10
Alger as second choice.
Certain of Iowa delegates are longing for
an occasion To present Senator Allison US
q candidate of the Hawkcye state,
Senator Callom of Illinois, Hon. Jere-
miah Rusk of Wisconsin and Whitelaw
Reid are also freely discussed and it is be-
lieved that each would receive the votes of

Mr.. Cullom is the only one of these men
on the ground aud is delegate at large from
Illinois. He was kept rather busy this
evening DENYING rumors of his candidacy
and insisting that Harrison must be the man
The trains that arrived during the day
were in from two to four sections and alt
sections very heavy. Nearly every section
had from one TO half dozen delegations and
they represented all parts of the Union.
The big event of the day from q spec
tacnlar stand point was the arrival aud
reception of the banner Harrison enforce
ment, Columbia Club OF Indianapolis,
Proceeded by stunning Minneapolis escort
the long lines of the Conmhans came
swinging mp the street from the depot to the
West Hotel with baads playing, and jaunty
confidence that was better than barrels of
tonic for the Harrison lcgions already on
the grounds.
Cheers met them at every street corner,
Around the solid phaanx of Columhians
surged mob of delegates and camp fol
lowers, yelling like Indians, the uproar
alternately rounding louder for Harrison
and then drowned momeutarily by shricks
for Blaine. The Columbia Club members
struck up rousing Harrison campaign
song. The burden of the ,litty was that the
President was u yoie-gclter of superhuman
degree.
bne of the most enthusiastic ns well rs
the noiscst delegations arrived ut o'clock

men from Pennsylvania. They sang u
