Both Sides Study the Meaning Of Last Nights
Votes.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 10-The coven-
ton had scarcely adjourned when q call was
issued for u conference of the leaders Of both
factions in their separate rooms in the West
Hotel, and the test vote was taken up and care
fully analysed in detail The result was
to give even additional announcement
to the Harrison managers, who came to the
conclusion that in certain states where the ma
1ofity had not received the vote expected the
President would gain several additional dele
gates by the fact that the Blaine men who we're
instructed for Harrison would feel bound to
follow out their instructions when the ballot
for the presidency came.
All through the night conferences were held
In different parts Of the hotel and emisaries
were dispatched to make last effort to win
waverinb delegates to one or the other Of the
rival factions.
The morning opened with the Harrison peo-
pie still confident, but the Blaine managers sre
none the less determined.
CHAIRMAN GARRISON.
Chairman Clarkson said that he had received
large number Of kilograms this morning from
prominent men throughout the country, who
had heretofore been urging him to
harmonize the opposition in support Of
the President, requesting him now to
make every effort to bring about a reconcilia-
ton Of the warning factions by o union on some
man who would be satisfactory to both ele-
ments. Mckinley, Rusk, Reed and Allison had
all been suggested in these kilograms.
RITTER Frrttxo
One effect Of last nights fight was visible on
nil sides on the opening today, and that was
that the bitterness Of feeling engendered in the
contests in manifestations of the past week had
grown to proportions which, in q measure,
excite the apprehension Of the more conserve
tive republicans. The Harrison people, Of
course, were inclined to be considerate.
1t is the rank and file Of the
Blaine forces. who, mourning and refus-
ing to be comforted, concluded by
uttering defiance TO the administration candi-
date. just how lasting this feeling will be of
course no one can say. Among the wrathiest
people in Minneapolis today were the Harrison
members Of the Kansas delegation
A KANSAS STAMPEDE.
Report was current that Kansas was leading
in a movement away from Harrison to third
man. The exasperating part Of the report was
that it contained considerable truth. The
facts, though circulating in an exag-
gerated form, were alarming enough
Ten Of the Kansas representa-
tives, an exact half OF the sunfower state dele
cation, were doing their utmost to cause q dark
horse stampede, with Mckinley as the proposed
best candidate to rnite upon. Delegate
Eugene Ware Of Fort Scott, who was
leader Of the Harrison element, was
particularly sore over the situation.
He declared that the talk Of dark horse, while
having been brought up in a meeting Of the
Kansas men, had resulted in no action, half of
the delegates refusing to remain present If the
discussion was allowed to proceed.
There would be no further caucus Of the
kind, he passionately asserted.
Mr.. Ware would not deny that Ingalls, and
Perkins we're the engineers Of the Kansas dark
horse departure. and that both had made
speeches urging an entire new deal and the
abandonment Of Harrison and Blaine in favor
Of some other candidate less liable to factional
resentment. Notwithstanding Mr.. Wares init
nation that the Harrison half Of tho
delegation had stemmed the tide and that the
Ingalls-Perkins movement was failure, re-
ports we're current that Ingalls, had succeeded
in binding the Kansas delegation to vote as a
unit.
With such an arrangement and gain Of only
one convert the delegation would be swung
away from Harrison.
MASSACHUSETTS IN CONFERENCE.
The Massachusetts state delegation is holding
a conference this morning, and the greatest
anxiety is esinced as to its probable results.
There is no doubt that portion Of the delega-
ton will favor casting the vote Of the state
for some compromise candidate, but it seems
quite improbable that any harmonious action
can be agreed upon. Various other state dele
gates or a majority Of the delegates thereof
are also holding impromptu conferences and the
air Is full Of rumors Of al kinds.
