MryNEAPoLIs, MINI, June 6.-The
sun goes down without any decisive
gain by either faction. The Harrison
managers have succeeded in holding
their strength we'll in hand without
break. while on the other side the
Blaine forces have been reinforced by
outside issues.
The shouting for the Plumed Knight.
"a likely 10 become more vOctferouS and
is expected TO give tone 70 the crowd In
The hall. This popular demonstration
IN serve as an excuse for same OF the
ogates instructed for Harrison TO
K away and vote for Blaine. There
doubt that the President has the
tage on the instructions, which
inorities whose choice would be
,tesmau from Maine. The sitUa-
= embarrassing TO all such.
: -IaAo- the delegation from Iowa for an
example. The State is Blaine State,
and vet a majority Of the delegation
will vote for Harrison. This is explained
bv Mr.. Wheeler, who headed the ticket
for Governor, 20 be due % the suppOSi-
tion thst Mr.. Blaine would not be can
didate. and the management being left
TO those not heretofore active, care was
taken 10 select those friendly To
the administration. This has been
interpreted 10 mean a rebuHe TO
Mr.. ClarkSOn, a mistake which
was emphauCally corrected to-day
on the unanimous reelection OF
Mr.. ClarksOn 20 represent the STATE on
the National Committee.
Then there is the Illinois delegation,
which is understood 10 be 30 for Harri-
son and l6 for Blaine, larger number
for the latter than was at first sup
posed. Sheriff James IL. Gilbert will
vote for Harrison, but il the President
should fail of q nomination on the first
Mr.. Gilbert would likely change 20
Blaine. There are others In other dele
cations who would also change after
the first ballot. The Harrison man
ayers clearly understand this danger,
and they are displaying first class gem
eralshjp in keeping their forces pledged
TO vote for the President first.
They confidently count on nomina-
tion on the first ballot, and figures they
exhibit are confirmed by information
from other sources. There is not
doubt that II the convention were 20
reach a vote tomorrow Mr.. Harrison
would win.
The outsDokeu support Of Chauncey
Depew, Gen. Horace Porter, Gov. Nc
Kinley and Senator sherman, has been
the chief factor after all In keeping a
majority OF the delegates in support Of
y the President
Their high character and world wide
reputation are force that cannot be
over estimated in contest Of this kind.
The Blaine people appreciate this and
while showing no signs of discourage
ment, they are seeking 10 defeata ma
iority vote on the first ballot. Their
policy IS TO bring some tavOrite sons into
the field aud thus divide 10 the vote.
They give out that the decision OF the
, Michigan delegation TO present the
name of Alger is favorable to their
plan. but this the Harrison managers
deny.
The number advising the selection Of
q candidate not involved In the faction
al contest is increasing.
The names most frequently heard are
sherman and Mckinley. Any test Of
strength on side issues is sure &C be in
furious 10 the Harrison side, rs many
Instructed delegates will not conStrue
their instructions rs covering every
thing. Therefore the threat Of Harri-
On men 20 appeal from the decisions OF
he National Committee In contested
aseS would be dangerous proceeding.
Each faction keeps its mathematician
\ nd is prepared at all times 10 convince
, ie doubling delegates OF the success Of
leach candidate. The highest claim for
II Harrison is Sal votes out Of a total of
y BOZ.

the nomination by the following vote; Ala
