Delegates and Other Visitors Getting Away
Fast as the Cars Can Take Them.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 1.-THE dele
gates and visitors are leaving town as fast as
the cars can take them. The exodus COM
menced after the contest for the head of the
ticket had been decided. and so ample were
the facilities provided that this morning the
hotels and streets are free from crowds and
present something of their normal appear
ance.
John G. New pretty well worn out by the
exacting labors of the week, left here for In
dlanapolis last evening. and will sail for London
to resume his duties as consul general next
week.
Gov. Mckinley. whose admirable perform
ance Of his duties presiding officer and
especially his fidelity to President Harrison
yesterday have won for him new laurels, took
his departure this morning for Chi
cago, where his wife is visiting. Although
the governor left at an early hour large num-
Der of his admirers were at the depot to say
goodbye, and three rousing cheers were given
for him as the special train of the Ohio Repub-
hcan League moved out.
Messrs. Quay and Plat also turned their face
eastward this morning and the remainder of the
New York delegation left a special train at
O'Clock.
This evening Messrs Clarkson, Fassett,
ex-Congressman Conger and several others
will go to Milwaukee as the guests Of
Henry G. Payne Although there are still
bitterness engendered by the events of
the week, the supporters. of Mr.. Blaine, as a
general thing, have manifested loyal willing
ness to let bygones be bygones and to work
united and harmoniOusly for the success of the
ticket.
ALL WILL GO TO WORK, THEY SAY.
Even the leaders of the Blaine movement,
such as Quay, Plat and GARRISON. say that
party success must not be endangered by apathy
and lukewarmness, ard that they will take
of their coats and work for the success of the
ticket with much earnestness and hearth
ness as though it was their favorite that was to
be voted for in November. They promise,
moreover. an active, stirring campaign. There
will be no lack Of funds, it is said. for this pur
pose.
The nomination of Whitelaw Reid is COM
mended on all sides as calculated to give
strength to the ticket in the empire state, and
it is thought that the campaign fund will be
materially aided by contributions from the ma
tional business interests that have been bene-
flied by the concessions granted them by the
French government a result Of his represen-
tations and influence during his official career
AZ minister to Paris.
1t is said that the reason Vice President Nor
ton at no time figured a candidate for re-
nomination was due to the fact that he had rep
resented to some of his friends who we're MEM
bers Of the New York delegation that he was
tired OF the cares of official life and did not
wish to be considered in connection with the
ticket.
MR.. DEPEw DENIES A RUMoR.
A press representative saw Chaupcey NJ. De-
pew at the West Hotel this morning and asked
him if there was anything in the report that
he was to succeed Blaine as Secretary of
State. Mr.. Depew all smiles and
qualification over the Harrison victory,
but he denied in the most emphatic way that
there was anything in the cabinet talk about
himself.
Either now or in the future?" asked the rep
resentative.
Neither now nor in the future replied the
chief orator Of the administration forces.
