The c.. A. r. was organized
at Decatur, Ills, April 6, 1866,
and its membership in the
United States numbers nearly
100000 men. It's existence
has been a great factor in
softening the lines between
the North and South. At its
camp fires bonds of friendship
have been more closely ce-
mented and the "blue and the
grey mingle tremendously
together. A handful of the
veterans have drifted with the
tide Of emigration to the
paradise of the Paci-
tlc," but though the member
ship here is small, and
thousands of miles of sea and
land lie between them and the
country for whose standard
they fought, the same spirit of
patriotism which prompts the
action of the members in the
States exists in their breasts
and directs their steps to the
graves of those who have
gone before"
So strong has the organl-
zation become in the United
States and so popular the day,
that the government, sever al
years ago, yielded to its in
fuence and May 80 is one OF
the few national holidays in
the republic across the sea.
1t is in history that in olden
times the plough shares were
forged into swords and the
historians record an instance
where the swords have been
turned into implements for

that he had not had time to prepare writ
ten report. but would make one verbally.
He further stated that there would be a
minority report. and the announcement Gre
ated not little excitement. There was q
painful suspense while the two reports were
being orally submitted as 20 what might
fellow this first open break. The majority
report recommended that twelve Harrison
delegates in Alabama. Mississippi and Lou
isiana be seated in place of the same num-
Der Of Blaine men given places on the tenn
pOrary roll, and the minority recommended
that the u Blaine men on the temporary
roll be placed on the permanent roll.
The report of the committee also covered
the contests in Texas. Kentucky, Maryland,
South Carolina. North Carolina and the
District of Columbia, but no political sig
nifcance is attached to these contests and
the reports were unanimous on these cases.
The majority report TO sustain the ma
tonal committee as TO % votes and reverse
the committee as TO II votes meant polit-
cally gain OF 13 votes for Harrison and
one vote for Blaine, net Harrison gain of
II votes, The gain included six votes in
Alabama, four in Louisiana and two in
Mississippi
This gain was made because of the fact
that the Harrison men had won over three
members of the credentials committee and
thereby secured a majority.

Candidate.

MINNEAPOLIS. June 9.-To-night an off,
cial notice was issued from the Harrison
headquarters. saying: "Since it has been
demonstrated by the unanimous expression
of large majority OF the delegates to the
national convention at the meeting to-day
that President Harrison is their choice for
leader of the party in the impending cam
paigu, the question asked by the delegates
favorable TO him whether his friends will
consider the expediency Of his retiring and
joining in the nomination Of a new man,
the uniform reply has been and will con-
tlnue to be that the judgment of the party
having been definitely ascertained to be
favorable to his candidacy his supporters
will not participate in any effort to reverse
that Judgment. AT no time will there be
any consideration by them of any other cam
didate."
The Harrison men at the Indiana head
quarters were wild with enthusiasm this
afternoon. They say their faith in Harri-
sons boom has developed into positive
knowledge. The following message was
sent to the White House:
Z. ". HaBord, Washington. d. c.: The
Harrison delegates have just had meeting,
presided over by Chauncey NJ. Depew. The

dent, not counting the contested seats. He

presented resolution which he regarded
as of superlative Importance. The docu-
ment was passed up to the clerks desk and
read, and proved to be al Endorsement Of
the Worlds Fair, which was properly re-
ferred to the committee on resolutions with
out comment.
Senator CullOm'S face wreathed Itself into
bright happy smile and he sank back into
his seat with an audible sigh Of content
ment. He was evidently playing for the
benefit of his constituents out in Illinois.
a resolution BY Mr.. Robert of Illinois
was also presented and referred. 1t asked
that the Grand Army men be admitted TO
standing room, and il any seats were vacant
80 minutes after the convention was called
TO order they should be allowed TO occupy
them. The resolution was received and
carried with applause.
This disposed of the chairman announced
that the question was on a motion to take
recess.
Immediately cries of "Do" came from the
main body on the floor and were swelled
into a loud cheer by the galleries. There
were also shouts for Ingalls,, who sat stOlidly
in his seat and refused to respond. In the
confusion Chairman Mckinley put the mo
tion, and when the storm Of ayes aud noes
had died away declared it had carried.
Lawson of New York demanded a divi-
sion, which was taken by standing vote.
1t was evident at once that the affirmative
had a majority of the delegates, but the
clerk went religiously through the cere-
ceremony of counting the delegates, and
announced to the chair a vote of 407 to 260.
Chairman ClarksOn looked pleased as the
delegates filed out of their seats. and, when
asked if he considered the vote test Of
strength. smiled and said:
well, we wanted to adjourn and the
other fellows didn't You may draw your
own conclusions"
Depew and Hiscoek, who walked out arm
in arm, were confronted with the same
query.
''No, sir; decidedly no." was Senator
Hiscock's reply. There was nothing de-
cisive in the vote. Many of the Harrison
delegates voted in the Affirmative"
This seems to be the general impression.

MINNEAPOLIS. July 9.-The Blaine lead
ers point out that the facility with which
the news of the result of the meeting of
Harrison delegates was given out from
Harrison headquarters indicates that this is
a clever game of bluff. There is no doubt
it is, however, the sensation of the hour.
1T is a blutf-a cold. clamy and wthal
desperate bluff" said Chairman Clarkson
of the National Committee. Here are two
men," SAID he, "who were in the Harrison
caucus in Market Hall. and 1 can pledge
my word they were both Blaine men, and
can prove it by their personality"
One was a colored delegate from North
Carolina, the other a white Northern dele
gate. Both sanctioned the remark made by
General CarkSon.
Il can say to you," continued General
Clarksou, I'VE are not one bit disturbed
over the alleged claim the Harrison people
have sprung at this late hour. am salts
fed that over oae-third OF the men in Mar
ket Hall were Blaine delegates, and 90 or
60 of the delegates in the hall were placed
there by me. We knew of the purpose Of
the Harrison people and prepared to meet
1t by having our people present. and when
the balloting comes in the convention the
truth of my assertions will be sustained"
Clarkson Furthermore said: "The true
strength will probably be shown in the vote
tonight. As to our plans, we are not saying
anything. We won the fight of 1888 by keep
ing our plans to ourselves, and we propose
to do the same thing now"
Ex-senator Plat was Of the same opinion
as Clarkson regarding the Importance of the
Harrison gathering. He characterized it as
"pow-wow of office-holding delegates and
outsiders"
Ex-Governor Foraker also asserted that it
was not an assembly of Harrison delegates,
but gathering of shouters, many of whom
have no voice in the convention.
Senator Hiscock was emphatic in his
opinion that 400 delegates were present who
had pledged themselves for Harrison.
Following is among the list Of votes
promised in the meeting: California s, IL

followers.

BLAINE CANNOT VIM
That Is the Judgment of the Best Man on
the Field

MINNEAPOLIS (Cop ventiou HalD June 9.
After the convention had adjourned l had
short talk with Judge A. b. Morton of
Texas, who is one of the shrewdest political
guessers here.
He said: while l do not regard the
vote as decisive it is a significant one. The
effect of it will be TO hold firmly in line any
delegates who are for Harrison, but who
are inclined TO waver. 1t may also bring
TO him some votes from delegates who are
anxious to be In on the winning side, and of
which kind there are always a great many
in every convention.
"Still. it may be possible for the anti
Harrison men to get dark horse into the
fight and prevent a majority for the Pres-
dent on the first ballot. In that event there
would be good show for e compromise man.
1t may come TO that yet. but 1t looks now as
IL the President had all the best Of II. /
am convinced that Blaine cannot win, no
matter what occurs"
a prominent United States Senator who
is here. bat who does not wish to be quoted
for personal reasons, assured me that he
was approached yesterday by the Blaine
managers. who asked him If he would not
agree to throw his influence to third man.
They urged that the fight had grown so
bitter that political matters would seem to
suggest compromise. lie refused to listen
20 their arguments, and told them in addi-
tion to be Harrison's friends. He believed
the President could win. This is sug-
gestive, at all events, and shows the feeling
In the Blaine camp.
To sum it all up, 1t certainly looks as If

too. and il they can manage to drum up GO
or 20 votes on the first ballot it would make
a second ballot necessary.
Still it is not believed that this will occur.
Mckinley, it is said, will not allow his
friends in Ohio to vote for him, as it would
leave him open to charges of treachery. a
thing of which he has never been
guilty in his long political ca
reer. He has openly announced
himself as for Harrison so long as the Presi-
dent stands any reasonable show of success,
and he could not allow his friends to place
him in an equivocal position. Alger, it is
true, has some votes which may be suf-
ficient to hold the balance. Of power,
but this is extremely doubtful. With the
delegation from his own State divided
against him it is hard TO see where he can
expect to gather any considerable strength,
and mis- claims are regarded BY reasonable
men as in the nature Of bluff.
The morning call., 1892-06-10

Considerable comment was Occasioned
this afternoon by the distribution of n cir
cular anonymously issued containing the
speech of Mckinley at the national c0nvsn-
ton in 1888 where Mckinley, referring TO
the inepient boom which has been started
for him, said, 81 cannot with honorable
fidelity to John Sherman nor consistently
with my own personal integrity consent to
permit my name to be used as a caudldate
by the convention" The reason fer issu-
ing the circular appears uncertain, but
many think it the work of the Harrison
delegates who viewed with envy the promi-
nence that that McKinley's name is receiv-
ing and are disposed to take the position
that he cannot consistently allow mis-
friends to make him candidate while he Is
working for Harrison. But it is easily seen
that MeKinley's position to-day is totally
different from that in 1888.
A rumor was current here to-day that
Blaine had sent communication withdraw
ing bis name, but when the matter was
brought to the attention of Senator Quay of
Pennsylvania he said there was no truth in
il. Joseph Manley also denied the rumor.
The Iowa delegation held meeting to-
day with closed doors. Several New York
ueleSdleS ldNOIluB IdIIlSOh HOUIHdliOH
were present An effort was made in stiff
ening the backs of the Iowa delegates who
are favorably disposed toward Harrison
After the meeting d. c. Chase. one of the
Iowa delegation, said that while no action
was taken this morning, owing to the pres
ence of the New Yorkers, the Iowa dele
gates were considering the possibility of
securing the nomiG Gation of Senator Allison.
"One OF the delegates" he said. will vote
for Allison on the first ballot. and think
the entire delegation Will swing into line
the instant he develops strength"

MINNEAPOLIS Convention Haln, June
9.-THe first great battle Of the convention
has been fought and won. and it looks now
as II nothing but cyclone could prevent
the denomination of President Harrison.

of Chauncey |. Filley, stubOornly contested
every inch Of ground. but they were unable
to turn the tide of battle.
They were routed. horse. foot and
Dragons, and LETT on the field in confusion.
II all arose over the report of the committee
on credentials, and the Blaine men took the
minority end of the proposition. Wolcott
of Colorado, Knight Of California, Miller of
New York. Cannon of Utah, Fllley of Mis-
souri, and Quay of Pennsylvania led the
debate against Depew, Massey of West Vir-
ginia, Powell Clayton of Arkansas and
other Harrison leaders. and it was indeed a
beautiful sight.
Wolcott and Knight were bitter in their
remarks against the Federal office-seekers,
and their ringing periods were cheered by
the galleries. Wolcott In particular de-
nounced In the most singing terms what
he denOminated as the interference of the

A wild roar of enthusiastic applause
greeted this sally, and Wolcott looked rat

Then Powell Clayton took smash at the
handsome Colorado Senator, and was loudly
eheered by the friends of Harrison.
Then came the vote. 1t was on the mo-
tion OF Wallace of New York to substitute
the minority tor the majority report roll
call was demanded and begun. but squab-
BILE arose over the Alabama delegates at
tempting to vote.
Mckinley decided that they had the right
to do so, bnt after long argument the dele
gates waived this privilege and the ballot
continued.
AS the secretary went down the roll of
States each announcement was received
with hoarse roars of applause at first, but as
the end drew near II was seen that the Har-
risOn men were on the verge of victory.
This suspense stopped the cheering, and
every one present listened with breathless
ankle ty. At last the call ended and the vote
was announced. 1t stood 463l@ for the
majority and 423h for the minority report.
hush succeeded for an instant and then
delegate sprang to his feet and yelled. 1t
was the signal for the greatest outburst of
cheering ever heard in the convention.
Cheer after cheer rang out and men in all
parts OF the huge building turned themselves
loose until perfect pandemonium reigned.
Hats, umbrellas, fans and handkerchiefs
flew aloft and thousands stood up and
howled themselves hOarse.
1t was realized that the Blaine skirmish
line had been driven in at last in confusion,

In an instant Chauncey Depew was on his
feet protesting against the nine sitting
Alabama delegates Blaine mem voting on

and Fassett rejoined for the Blaine side.
There was long squabble, the chair ruling
that the delegates had the right TO vote. but
In the end the Alabama men waived their
right in the interest of harmony and the
rollcall proceeded.
When the TOlIcall was finished a mighty
yell greeted the announcement of HaTri-

The Presidents friends left the word

handkerchiefs, anything that could be
grabbed, was swung wildly in triumph.
while the dome seemed to tremble with the
terrific roars Of applause.
An attempt to adjourn the convention at
this interesting juncture failed The hour
70 which IL was proposed to adjourn was 10
o'clock In the morning. but it was decided
by substantial majority to proceed with
the business Of the convention without
delay.
The roll was then called on the adoption
