REVIEW OF THE DAY
As it Looks to the As.oclated Pro
People.

As 1t Looks to the Associated Press
People.
MINNEAPOLIS. MfES., June sol the
two distinguished Americans who has
been so assidiously urged by his friends
the past week for the presidential nom
ination, neither cne tonight seems to
have assurance of sufficient votes to
effect nomination. The seeker alter
accurate information as TO the relative
standing OF these two candidates is
compelled to discard as extravagant
aud quito misleading tho figures
issGed from the headquarters OF
each, ard careful analysis
OF the expressed preference Of all the
delegations together with a classification
OF the uncommitted delegates shows
that the two leading candidates are
each from 25'to so votes short OF the
nomination. The balance of power, II
ballot had been taken to-day would
have been found to have rested with
Gen. Russell A. Alger, OF Michigan,
who would certainly have received
from 10 to 90 votes and then prevented
either of the two leading candidates
from receiving the requisite number Of
votes 10 nominate.
ENTHUSIASM SUBSIDIES.
1t can soberly be asserted that the
past quarter of century has never
witnessed convention wherc there
was such rapid subsistence of enthu-
siasm as is noticeable here. On the eve
OF the critical day which should decide
the contest, all tho ardor and enthusi-
asm and irresistible conviction OF sue
cess which tho rank and file of both
forces have constantly displayed to-day,
arc Significantly absent tonight, In
the first place, the average Republican
has been deeply disappointed at the
veryleisnrely manner In which the lead
ing spirits Of the convention have post
poned tho essential business for which
the delegates are called together, and
the feeling that il the programme OF
delay succeeds, a ballot maynot even be
taken tomorrow. 1t has caused every
faction to suddenly realize the citadel
OF opposition is not to be carried by
assault after all, and he now awaits the
result of the ballot. ALI this has had
the effect to dampen the enthusiasm
Which prevailed the soul OF every loyal
Republican q day or two ago and now
the people, who but twenty-four hours
since were hilariously parading the
streets, are walking dejectedly to aud
fro and wondering how the thing isgo-
ing to end. There is evidence OF con-
sciousness on the part of the average
Iayman that he is something OF a
puppet in this battle for political mas
terry, and that It is the leaders in the
conference in the upstairs rooms who
have been directing his enthusiasm,
and who arc likely to profit by the
results.

OAHEpAEb M EAAA
The claim OF the New York Harrison
men, that they polled 80 votes in the
delegation for Harrison, is absolutely
and unqualifiedly denied BY Mr.. Platt,
who authorizes the following personal
interview.
''The claim that is made as TO the con-
ference OF the New York supporters OF
Harrison is without foundation in fact.
At this conference there were present,
by actual count, 20 persons, of whom
several were counted in this estimate OF
Mr.. Harrison's strength who were not
members Of the delegation. Ex-senator
Sloane was one, and there were at least
three others not members, all OF whom
were counted. Gen. Hustled is given as
present. Everybody knows Gen. Hus-
ted has been confined to his room
several days seriously sick and will not
be out for days. His substitute is
q Blaine man. Moore, the other
man who is given in tho Har.
rison list, has been making speeches
nightly for Blaine, Goodale and Waters,
the other two named areat present dis
posed to vote for some new candidate
The five men-Hopp, Danford, McGuan,
Sherman and Thomas-who, the Harrl-
son men claimed, were not present at
the conference, but asserted that they
are in sympathy with Harrison, are
every one Of them strong Blaine men.
There are other inaccuracies. Some OF
the men present were induced to attend
under the false pretense that 1t was
simply conference for the exchange Of
views. The object OF the meeting was
to manufacture some basis for the claim,
that Blaine supporters in tho New York
delegation arc disintegrating. The ne.
cessity for such desperate acts have been
painfully apparent. They are losing
everywhere and have be ome very mu.h
demoralized. The situatiol is more en-.
couraglng to US than it has been at any
time during the Canvass" Mr.. Platt
added that there is no difference in the
New York delegation from what there
has been from the beginning.
"We claim IS and there are As" said
General Thomas. He remarked that II
he had ever been inclined TO vote for
Harrison he could not possibly do 1t
now, because he had been sighted and
not invited to this alleged conference,
Mr.. McEwen, another OF the five not
present, but counted, was indignant
when told that he was -polled, Har-
-rison man at the conference, and re-
piled that at the time the conference
was held he was making speeches for
Blaine.
The claims OF all candidates, and the
estimates and indications carefully
cleaned from all quarters, show that the
Blaine and Harrison forces are OF almost
equal strength atthis time. The Blaine
people have the advantage OF the organi;;
zation, not only the convention, but OF
the important committees but the Har-
keeping their forces well together to
prevent the slightest appearance OF
Decentralization.

from state, although the Blaine people
insisted that all but four were in line
for their iayorite. A. n. Jones reported
that the President was certain Of thirty.
six votes from Illinois. II was claimed
that there had been no serious detection
in the South, and that the tetegrams
from many prominent men throughout
the country indicated that the sober
second thought Of Republicans were
being expressed.
John @. New said this morning that
he saw no reason why the supporters OF
President Harrison should be one whit
discouraged. There was no doubt that
the Blaine element was playing wait
ing game for all that it was worth, but
its tactics would prove Of no avail. He
did not believe that it was fair to claim
that the committee on credentials had
been captured by the Blaine men, as so
far there had been no real test OF strength
upon which to come to such conclu-
sion.

rnE DARK noRsEs.

The knowledge that Mckinney ls 10
be permanent chairman of the conven.
ton has added somewhat to the Presi-
dental boom Of the Governor Of the
Buckeye state, which Is being widely
discussed by the more conservative del
erates, and there is evidently move
ment in some quarters to spring his
name Us dark horse when the occa-
sion seems to indicate the probability
Of such action.
Governor Mckinley has shown his
sincerity in the support OF President
Harrison in tho most emphatic way.
He has been outspoken for him on all
occasions, and has refused to counte.
nance for moment the discussion OF
his own name. He became very angry
yesterday, when some one in his pres
ence spoke OF him rs possible candi-
date. Shaking his finger emphatically
in the mans face, Major Mckinley said:
itfAny man who mentions my name in
connection with the nomination while
General Harrison is in the race is no
friend OF mine" But tits not as an op-
-ponent OF Harrison that Mckinley is
discussed His name is mentioned at
the head OF the list OF compromises pos.
sible il Harrison's friends decide at any
time to Withdraw his name in favor OF
anyone else. There is no doubt, how
ever, that n number OF votes will be cast
for Mckinley on the first ballot, in
spite Of his protest.
Hon. Jerry Rusk, secretary Of agri-
culture, and Senator Sherman, Senator
Allison and others are mentioned as
possible candidates, but neither the
Blaine nor tho Harrison people have
thus far evinced the slightest indica-
tlon Of their immediate turn to a dark
horse in order to defeat the opposition.
The weakest OF the booms is that OF
Gen. Alger. The Michigan men arc
having the greatest difficulty holding
the delegation together. They realize
that the compliment intended to him
will fall fat il the solid Michigan dele
cation does not vote for him on the first
ballot. This the Harrison men arc try
ing to prevent, believing that their hope
lies in a straight vote between the chief
candidates taken as carly as Is possible.
They have been working with the
Michigan men, and this morning there
was ug1ll sOlue ulsuuSStO'tois W sn9 pOsS''
bility that some OF them would vote for
Harrison on the first ballot, and that
Ayers name would not be presented to
the convention.

THE DALTON GANG AGAIN
ROBBERY OF A SANTA
FE EXPRESS TRAIN.
Goodness OF the Bandits and Gallantry
of the Men in Charge Of the Treas
ure-Hundreds Of Shots
Exchanged.

GUTHRIE, o. T., June 2.-The details
of the robbery last night Of the Wells
Fargo express car on q Santa Fe train,
make story of unexampled outlawry
on the part Of bandits, and brave re-
sistance on the part Of the custodians OF
the company's property. The robbers
were at work nearly an hour attempting
to intimidate the messengers into sub
miseion, and during the battle between
the messengers and bandits fully 200
shots were fred and not man wounded.
The robbery was doubtless committed
by the notorious Dalton gang, for whom
large rewards are still standing.
Two masked robbers jumped into the
engine cab from the tender, and cover
ing the engineer and fireman, COM
manded them to run the train to the
stock yards and stop there ct given
signal. For the engineer and fireman
to have resisted would have meant
death. ~ +
When the train stopped the two rob.
bers were joined by ave masked com.
panions. The leader commanded the
engineer and fireman to walk back to
the express car, and commanded the
fireman to break open the door. E. G.
Whittlesey, messenger, and j. A. Riehl,
the guard, anticipating what was going
on, blew out the lights and refused to
allow any one to enter.
The bandits opened fire upon the car
from all sides, but the two men within
responded promptly, aiming all their
shots at the doors. The highwaymen
shot into the car from all quarters. The
firing, however, took no effect, for the
messengers stood their ground. In the
the meantime the robbers chopped q
hole in the door large enough to admit
the body of q man, and the fireman was
told to crawl into the car. This placed
him between the two fires, and Engineer
Mack, seeing it meant death to his COM
panion, explained the situation to the
messengers and told them to cease firing.
The robbers then entered the express
car, covered the inmates with guns, and
with q sledge and chisel broke open the
two safes and robbed them of every
thing of value.
The robbers are described by the pas.
sengers as being well dressed and Of
gentlemanly bearing. The leader apol-
ogized to the engineer for rough remarks
made by one of his men.
The amount secured by the robbers is
unknown. as the express company has
made no statement.
