and invisible. The Harrison people had
little opportunity TO call on one OF these
enthusiastic scenes that are considered sc
: potent in nominating conventions.
THE MANAGERS
on behalf of President Harrison and Mr..
Blaine maintain the same persistent attl-
tude OF claiming in general, but giving no
figures in detail. With every delegate to
the national convention present and in
his seat 1t requires 453 votes to make
nomination. Three days ago both OF the
rival factions were claiming the nomina-
ton of their candidates by vote OF 600
4 or more. AS delegations arrived one by
one it became manifest to the public how
they would stand. These claims have
been modified and reduced until neither
side is claiming the nomination OF its
candidate by over 500 votes. Alger will
certainly
REMAIN IN THE FIGHT
to the end, and he will probably draw off
no less than sixty votes on the first ballot.
His candidacy, it is believed, will make
: about equal inroads on the strength of
both of the leading contestants, although
the Blaine people maintain that his with
Edrawal at any time will certainly insure
the nomination of their candidate. The
southern vote still stands out foremost
and prominent, great interrogation
point. No one knows to certainty how
the celored delegates Of the south will
vote, ,.and no one is altogether sure to whom
certain Of the white delegates will give
their vote. Both sides are employing
every argument and exerting every effort
to win the support of
THESE SCATTERING DELEGATES,
but they fully realize the importance OF
their position and are disposed to make
the most of it by standing out and assert
ing indecision until the time OF the open
ing ballot arrives. There is no longer
any doubt that considerable number OF
the delegates in the western aud southern
states who were instructed for Harrison
have made up their minds to ignore these
instructions and support Blaine. 1t is
probable that the present situation as to |
candidates will remain with little change |
until the time arrives for balloting. There
will be three candidates formally placed |
in nomination before the convention,
Harrison, Blaine and Alger, and it is
probable that some other men will receive
scattering votes. Several delegates have
already avowed their intention to
SUPPORT MCKINLEY
and one or two will probably vote for
Sherman and Rusk, Allison, Hawley and
Reid may possibly have few votes each.
Ii this should be the case, Ager's follow
ing with these scattering votes will prob
ably be sufficient to hold the balance of
the power and prevent nomination on
the first ballot. This is precisely what
those who are looking for new candidate
hope to bring about. Then the dark
horse may be found. An unusually strong
attempt was made this morning to re-
claim the votes of these instructed dele
gates who have shown indications of their
intention to desert Harrison.

BLAINE MEN IN CONTROL. 4,
A poll of the above named makes 1t nj
ertain that majority OF them are Blaine O.
i
There is no doubt that the well defined tt
'olicy OF the Blaine managers is one OF it
elay and the very leisurey progress being d.
made by the committee on credentials
indicates that report from that committee
n the numerous vexatious contests can
ardly be expected tonight, and it may be C
elayed till Saturday, although the order of 81
usiness for that report was the first thing BY
t the opening of the convention to-day. hi
The widest rumors are afoat as to the F,
ction likely to be taken on these contests or
nd the Harrison men are already &C. tv
using the Blaine managers Of aiding the vi
Majority Of that committee in an uu- da
crupulous effort to seat in the convention &c
My those delegates who are favoIing the eu
omination of the plumed knight. OF hs
purse the Blaine people Indignantly ali
eny that any such purpose is in contem- tn
lation. That every contest will be deter DO
lined solely upon It's merits. But there 10,
ppears to be no doubt that the numerous Sc
entlemen Of contesting delegations who II
esire to make prolonged arguments be. up
IRE the committee have received some
lch measure OF assurance.
