At the Harrison headquarters. away
up at the top of the West hotel. men
were being sent out to buttOnhole dele

sioner Carter and Mr.. Michener were
on hand to receive the assurances of
those who came in. Mr.. Carter said:
1--WE are perfectly serene. The peo-
pie at headquarters are absolutely con-
fident. They have received assurances
that their delegations are going to stand

Powell Clayton was present, and said
Arkansas would not change.
Gen. COgSWell, Il strong Harrison
man, was also there, having arrived
ahead of the delegation. He said before
the announcement: 81 think Harrison
had a clean majority of the votes. l
think the announcement has made every
Harrison man twice as strong as ever"
These announcements have made the
Harrison men quite confident, and they
appeared to recover from the first alarm
at the change in affairs.
A story was in circulation at the Har-
riSon headquarters to the effect that to-
morrow Mr.. Blaine would withdraw
from the race, but it was pronounced a
canard by Mr.. Blaine'S friends. Some
one expressed to Mr.. Boutelle doubts
that Mr.. Blaine could be nominated.
"Why, he will be nominated without an
trouble on the first ballot, and he will
accept"

They are going INTO the Big Horn

SOUTH DAKOTA DIVIDED.
The PickereI Statesman Hopes to
Corral the Six.

The PickereI Statesman Hopes TO
Corral the Six.
The South Dakota delegation reached
here early in the morning. Senator
Pettigrew said that the delegation stood
four for Blaine and two for Harrison,
and he had strong hopes that it would
be solid for Blaine. This state has been
regularly counted for Harrison. The
Harrison man acknowledged that it was
divided, but claimed that it would never
be solid.
Gov. Mellette, of South Dakota, one
of the leaders of the Harrison forces,
expressed himself as perfectly satisfied
with the situation from his standpoint.
II think it looks BETTER" he said, "now
than at any time since l reached Min
neapOlis. The ranks of the Harrison
men are unbr0ken and stand firm. We
have no cause whatever TO be in the
least discouraged or disturbed"
The South Dakota delegation has
been counted by the Blaine people as
among the doubtful, and possibly as
having some of the delegation in their
favor, but the few delegates who are
here today insist that all but two are
sure to stick for Harrison. The delega-
ton was originally instructed for Har-
riSOn, according 10 the intention of the
convention, but it has been asserted
that the instructions were simply reSO-
lutIOnS of Endorsement. and did not
instruct. The delegates, however,
seem to consider them as instructions.

The Harrison people were more con-

additions from several unexpected
sources. In all, they maintain the re-
suit of the days arrivals. and the
changes of views on the part OF unin-
structed delegates, give them gain OF
from fifteen TO twenty over Saturday
night. They consider that there IS
very little opposition showing itself
so far as the effect on the delegations
is concerned. r. r. Shiel. the Indian
apoiis delegate, who has been at the
head of the Harrison workers. said:
Five in the Michigan delegation have
come to us. and said that no matter
who is in the field, they are for Harrl-
son. These have not been counted be-
fore. The others are playing big
bluff, which the country will know
after the convention. We have not only
a majority, but $50 more than we need"

HIS MEMORY GONE.
Blaine Is Weak Old Man, Men
tally and Physically.

The Harrison forces are using, with
telling effect, the we'll known state of
the health of Mr.. Blaine. The follow
ing extract from the Chicago Herald
was freely circulated and commented
upon yesterday:
Mr.. Blaine is not strong man, and
his mind of late has seemed to share the
falling of his body. His fOrgetfulneSS
has become prOverbal among other
members of the cabinet. Twice he has
delayed action on the international
monetary conference, apparently be-
cause lie forgot there was such thing
in contemplation. He talked the matter
of the invitations over with the presi-
dent one Saturday and was expected to
dispatch them on Monday, but an en-
tire week elapsed before they went out.
The president grew restless at the delay
in getting ready and directed cable mes
sages to be sent to our ministers asking
for the earliest information of accept
ances. There is letter on file in one
of the departments signed by Mr..
Blaine, stating that these messages
had been sent. No replies came, and
new inquiries at the state depart
ment showed that they had been for
gotten, like the original invitations.
These are but few of the many similar
Instances which have been recounted
about Washington for year. Two of
themIlnvolved playing fast and loose
with dinner invitations, and final ap-
pearance at one of the dinners after a
declaration had been forwarded. People
who have talked with Mr.. Blaine on i'm
pOrtant public questions represent him
as bright and animated for while and
then reiapsing into Indifference and
seeming inability to count his train of
thought. He looked like a specter at
his last public appearance at the funeral
of Senator Barbour, and it was the gen
eral exclamation that he would soon be
compelled to leave his desk for another
of the six months rests which he has
taken since lie became secretary.

HUSTON COMES OUT.

United States, came to Minneapolis last
evening from his home in Indiana. He
did not 90 to the Harrison headquarters
immediately-in fact. he had been in
the West hotel for more than two hours
before some of the Harrison men knew
that he was here. Mr.. Huston comes
here to work for Mr.. Harrison. Al
though they were not on the
most friendly terms personally
ton resigned, Mr.. Huston has
committed himself TO the Harrison
cause, giving as reason tie belief that
the nomination of Mr.. Harrison would
be for the best interests of the party.
His interest i'll the action of the cOnven-
ton is the greater. because it is DrOba-
BILE that he will be the nominee of the
Republican party for governor of In
diana this year and will stand or fall
with the national ticket. Mr.. Huston
said that after inquiry among the
Indiana men the situation was
deepened by the expression that
Harrison would be renOminated; {;
that the Blaine men, judging from what
they said. were very confident that the
ex-secretary of state would be success
full before the convention, but after
carefully weighing their statements and
the reasons for them. he did not believe
their claims to be we'll founded. 81 was
very glad to see Mr.. Blalne's resigna-
ton Yesterday" he said. 81 believe it
takes him without the plane Of posi-
bilities. OF one thing l have no doubt
whatever, and that is that Blaine will
not be nOminated.n

against him.
''Tbe majority OF the Pennsylvania

this morning to United Press cOrre

strong Blaine feeling in the state. am
for Harrison. l do not see yet how MIR.
Blaine can be candidate. Why, he
told me only short time ago that he
would decline even an election in view
of the state of his health. There is no
doubt that Blaine could have had the
nomination and could have been elected
if he had simply come out three months
ago and said that he was candidate
if he had written no letters. But four
years ago, when he had written letter
lust like his letter 10 Clarkson, he wrote
another defining his position. That
letter should define his position to-
day."

Elliott G. Shepard Gives Emmons
Blaine a Few Pointers,


An amusing incident of the afternoon
was the meeting of Emmons Blaine and
Col. Elliott F. Shepard in one of the cor
lidors OF the hotel. An interesting col
loquoy ensued which ended n ith the gal
liant colonel's remarking to Mr.. Blaine:
"Young man, your father had his best
chance in 'S4 and don't you forget it."
The North Dakota delegation is
counted as one of the doubtful ones.
both parties claiming at least half, and
possibly more than that.
Montana is generally considered as a
Blaine state.
Mr.. McComas and others are doing
their best to hold Maryland for Harri-
son, but it is admitted that four of the
delegation are Shaky, and their votes
cannot be relied upon.
EX-Congressman George West, of
New York, arrived this morning. He
said that he was here only as an on
locker, but during the day he affiliated
with the anti-HarriSOn people in Platt'S
room. Mr.. West was a supporter of

fallen out with the administration over
the question of patronage.
Congressman Belden, who has gen.
orally been regarded as Harrison man,
was asked, before Mr.. Miller had made
his statement, how the New York dele
CATION stood. He replied: ''lt is too
much for me-"
do you know that Mr.. Blaine has
thirty votes from New York?''
Yes, know that he has more than
forty"
Mr.. Michener. of Indiana, one of the
presidents managers here. was asked
tonight who would present the presi-
dents name to the convention. He said
Chauncey M. Depew, and added that
Mr.. Depew had accepted.
At the headquarters OF the Maine del
egaton it was stated that no one had
yet been selected to present Mr. Blaine's
name, and it was not known whether
he would be formally placed in nomina-
ton or not.

WHITELAW SPEAKS.
He Says Harrison Should Be the
49,. Nominee.


New YORK, June 5.-The Tribune
will say editorially tomorrow: "Mr.
Blaine was quoted III the dispatches of
some of the press agencies as saying
Saturday afternoon that his resignation
had not been caused or Influenced
by questions arising from the national
convention of this week. The inter
view as whole has since been repu-
dated, but we have no doubt that this
particular statement is true. Mr.. Blaine,
though often credited with mysterious
plans and and adr0it wire-pulling, is in
fact one of the sincerest and most
straightforward of men. He said
four years ago that he was not candi-
date for the presidency, and could not
take the nomination. At that moment
he was absolutely sure of the nOmina-
tiOn. as we think of the election. Bnt
he meant exactly what he said: he stuck
to it, and even sent an appeal by
cable to his friends in the midst
of the convention to stop the
unsuccessful struggle for him Oh which
they had already entered. This time he
has said exactly the same thing. 10
many friends within the past fortnight
he has repeated that he does not wish
the nomination and could not be cam
didate for it. We see no warrant
for the offensive assumption that
he has not meant what he
said now, just as he was proved to mean
what he said in his withdrawal in 1855.
which the whole world now recognizes
as the greatest and most extraordinary
act of magnanimouS self-renunciati0n
ever displayed by an American states
man. Undoubtedly a spontane-
Gus and unanimous nomination,
either as the result of an
original demand or as the only escape
from deadlock, would compel his ac-
ceptance, as it would that Of any other
American citizen of the Republican
faith and as it would have compelled
his own acceptance in 1883. But that is
a contingency which the situation at
Minneapolis scarcely seems to make
probable, and we feel confident
that it is not contingency which the
Bayard of American statesman himself
contemplates or would welcome. We
therefore see no reason to change the
opinion already expressed that the
probabilities still point to the renomina-
tiOn and the reelection of President
Harrison.
Whatever happens, we beg onr friends
in Minneapolis te remember that their
first business is to nominate on sound
platform winning ticket without pro-
voking such discomfort as to threaten
harmony in the campaign. Whoever
fails to work and vote according to his
best lights towards that end betrays his
party.

Some Of the Amusing Night Seems
at the West Hotel.
A feature of the tactics of the two
principal factions which developed yes
terday afternoon was the injection of
public amusement. Chosen representa-
tives of MIR. Blaine and Mir. Harrison
went about the hotel corridors starting
discussions of the merits of the candi-
dates and attracting the attention of
noise and confusion were SO in
tense that argument was out
of the question. There is
no i'll feeling. men yell themselves
hoarse, and that is all the good it does
them; no one can hear. Every one is
thoroughly good natured. The sup
porters of the president are chiefly In
diana men led by the redoutabie Rhody
Shiel. The old familiar cry of Blaine,
Blame, James q. Blaine" is heard on
every hand. The crowds on the streets
are shouting it, and at intervals the
crowds in the hotel corridors take it up.
Then there is a counter demonstration
by the Harrison people, and the noise is
deafening, the confusion inGescribable.
Men with leathery lungs are hoisted
into the air and carried about on the
shoulders of their friends. waving flags
and shouting with all their might.
In the midst of the excitement
the excited Mr.. Shiel picks up a
great big flag with picture of Har
rison pinned to it and waves it aloft. A
dozen enthusiasts seized his legs and
hoisted him into the air. On this totter-
ing uncertain human car he rides across
the corridor sinking dangerously from
sight, but never ceasing his cries of
Harrison" The crowd howls in SYM
pathy. a minute later a small boy is
lifted, holding high picture of Blaine
in his outstretched hand. A wen-aimed
