for badge, the Harrisonians strutted
about the hotel, and WhiStled to keep
up their courage. AS often as the latter
failed, they rushed off to the fourth
floor, where the sway of Michever has
given place TO that of Gen. John &.
New, who has come all the way from
bis post of duty as consul general at
London to earn his $4,000 salary pull
ing Harrison out Of the slough. New
processes to be as confident as man can
be that Harrison will need but one bal
lot, and that before that is half called
he will be nominated by acclamation,
with an enthusiastic hurrah. LAS
plainly as the English language can say
it he volunteered, Mr. Blaine is out
of the race, and there is but one candi-
date-Mr. Harrison"
Then why is it, general, that this
fight is in prOgresS?"
No fight at all. Mr.. Harrison has
made just enemies, as are the natural
result of his vigorous administrative
policy, and these enemies must have
something to say. They are like a few
buzzing bees without home hive Mr..
Blaine is their only refuge, and as they
know they cannot turn to him they
simply fly about at random and buZZi
buzz. for amusement"
But the Blaine men smile and wax
more confident. "Unless Mr.. Blaine
shall positively say no." said Delegate
Dwight. I'VE will"
lie won't say no." interrupted j.
SlOat Fassett. ''He will not say word,
and he will be nominated and cannot
decline"
1.-The Harrison men believe-and in
this they are supported by impassive
delegateS-that after all the Blaine
movement has some ulterior object, and
that the name of Blaine is being used
TO hold the anti-administratiOn Senti-
ment crystallized until the hour and the
man come for its delivery. 1t seems
also most probable that Alger will be
the man. His sudden change of plans,
after his headquarters here had all been
arranged, lends color TO the story.
''Ager." said a prominent Blaine
man, sis the only man on whom all can
unite. / believe the Harrison forces
would gladly go to him in the event of
the impossibility of Harrison'S renOmi-
nation becoming apparent to them. He
cannot be TenOminated, and all that re-
mains is to convince these shouting
officeholders ana the work is done"
"Why not come out openly for Alger,
then?"
That would be terrible faux pas at
this time. The nominee of this conven-
tion, whoever he may be, will have a
waIkover. We would be less thar
idiots not to realize that this campaign
will be the fight of our lives, and we
are beaten in advance if we do not get
together and harmoniOusly and enthu-
siastically make the nomination. If
Alger is to be the man, he comes up as
sort of happy compromise upon whom
all factions can unite; but to openly
spring his name now would be to pro-

Some stir was created by the
report that ex-Gov. John S. Pills.
bury, delegate at large from
Minnesota, whose presidential prefer
ences have thus far been kept to him
self, intended to introduce an anti-sec-
ond term resolution, and the opposition
to the president have drawn much COM
fort from the report which they have
been nursing industriously. The gov
ernOr, however, explains that he simply
believes in one term of six years, and
and would probably introduce resolu-
ton to that effect. but when his atten-
tion was called to the supposed bearing
OF such resolution on the candidacy of
President Harrison, he added very en-
phatically: IF it would affect the pres
ent standing OF any of the candidates l
would not introduce it,"
He further declares that up to the
present time he has not fully decided
how he shall vote, leaving his decision
until he confers with his colleagues of
the Minnesota delegation. Whatever
the final action may be. the silver ques-
tlon is bound to play an important part
in the platform work, and there are
those here who are working their hard
est OH that one subject. E. E.ClarkWheeler,
of Colorado, a delegate to the conven
ton, and the advance guard from
that state is most decided in
his views. He says for himself
and also for his colleagues
that they were against Harrison solely
because of his position on the coinage
question. He does not believe Harrison
could run on a silver platform, and
while he is working for silver he pro-
poses to work against the president.
There are, he says, 10000 voters in Col
orado pledged to vote against Harrison
and against any anti-free silver coinage
party, and he is here to secure the pas
sage of a silver plank. The silver men
have no candidate. They are against
Harrison. and want free silver in

The Blaine tide came in yesterday
full and strong, and the Harrison man
ayers were totally unable to stem it.
From Gen.gJehE G. New down to the
eXuberant and talkative Shiel, of In
dianapOlis, the administration forces
were ratified and vainly tried to hold
their own by denouncing the opposition
leaders and showing. as they claimed,
the objects and aims of the men who
are shouting for Blaine. But they were
met at every point, and the days work
ended with the anti-Harrison men sew
eral points ahead.
The cause of this change was the ar
rival of several Of the most prominent
and strongest leaders of the opposition
early in the morning. and, while these
men did not themselves appear in the
hotel lobbies and work as did the adj
miniStration leaders, like Gen. John c.

PACKED FOR BLAINE.
A Brilliant Scheme Credited to
Ciarkson'S Brain.


A story came over the wire from
Omaha. last night, that will be read
with interest, and is as follows: Maj.
Clancy, who is well-known in Iowa as
the purveyor of ready-made enthusiasm
at political conventions, has been busy
in the past month organizing through
out the state what is known as the Iowa
Republican club. AS an inducement to
join this club Clancy promised all who
did so free admission to the Minneapolis
convention. AS Clancy managed the
anti Wheeler forces in this state last
year and succeeded in packing the con-
VentiOn, HarriSOn'S friends at once began
making inquiries, and tonight it was
announced that Clancy is to manage the
Clarkson end of the Blaine boom.
He is to be given the prerOgative of
naming the dOOrkeepers and ushers at
the convention, and it is alleged that,
under ClarkSOn'S orders, the doorkeep-
ers are to become blind whenever
properly credentialed Harrison man ap-
pears at the door, and in this way the
convention will be packed with Blaine
men. Col. Clancy will be given a con-
spicuous place in the hall, and when
ever he raises his hand the multitude
under command of the ushers will sing
the refrain, blaine, Blaine. James e.
Blaine" and create all the artificial en-
thusiasm that can be conveniently used.
At the last Iowa Republican cOnven-
ton the anti-Wheelerites, under COM
mand of Clancy, would cheer or hiss at
his command, with the result that
whenever a Wheeler man spoke, his
speech was drowned out; but whenever
the opposition got to work. it was given
a clear path and was cheered to the
echo. 1t is alleged by HarrisOn's friends
that ClarksOn will have Clancy adopt
these tactics at Minneapolis, and when
ever Blaines name is mentioned it will
be whOeped up; but when Harrison
man attempts TO speak his words are to
be buried in babel of noises. Clancy
is already in Minneapolis laying the
ropes.

nominated. The remarkable feature of
this contest is that the presidents
friends are as much in doubt as to what
Mr.. Blaine will do as the friends of the
"Plumed Knight" are as to what his
purpose will be.
There is an interest in this wholeimat-
ter that illustrates the poverty of par
ties of the present day, The Democracy
are impotent without Cleveland, and tDs
Republicans lack vigor except Blaine
In other words, the vital part of the two
organizations are put on the red and
black card of gamble. The personnel
of the convention is going to be strong
and weak by turns. The aggressive
men are going to be against Harrison
and the negative men for him.

Harrison Can Unite the Party.
I Frank Hatton, eX-pOstmaster general
and at present the editor of the Wash
ington Post, arrived in Minneapolis yes
terday. Mr.. Hatton was always man
who spoke his opinions rather freely
and he has not changed with advancing
years. He always opined Secretary
Blaine has no sort of use for President
Harrison. He is disgusted at the ap-
parent disposition to cOnfine the con-
test to these two men. He doesn't agree
with the Harrison men in thinking the
suggestion of any other man than the
president as reasonable.
"1'he men who are opposing Mr.. Har-
rison and who declare they are for
Blaine," he said, lean, l believe, de-
feat the former and nominate the lat
ter, unless Mr.. Blaine should have
pain in his head or stomach in the next
few days. have noticed considerable
winking on the part of the men who are
shouting for Mr.. Blaine. but have seen
none of them frank enough to tell the
delegates whose votes they must have
to succeed whether Mr.. Blaine will ac-
cept or decline, If nominated. In view
of tile fact that a nomination must be
followed by an election. it is not an in
spring sight to see great party gath
ering in national convention and all
the talk of the so-called bosses and
leaders confined to two possible candi-
dates, one of whom great majority of
these managers say cannot be elected if
nomfnated; the other man who it is
claimed is physically incapacltated to go
through the worry of campaign or per-
form the arduous duties of the Office if
elected"
"What course, in your opinion, should
be pursuedp

man." replied Mr.. Hatton. 1.-The party
is divided seriously over these two.
There are plenty of good, strong men
who would get the united support of
the party, among them John Sherman,

and preferred to take up the coinage
bill. On the other hand, Senator Davis
stood by the force bill, and from that
time change came. The president
gave Davis what he wanted, and turned
a cold and unwilling ear to the demands
of the junior senator. Davis was
formerly a Blaine man, but is
now put down for Harrison, while
Washburn has turned a complete somer-
sault and is now plugging might and
main for the opposition. The admins
tration forces will find the difference.
Davis. the Harrison man, is. keeping out
of this fight. while Washburn, the
Blaine man, fighter always, is here
with his coat off, working for the anti
Harrison movement. This explains the
falling off of more than one former fast
friend of the little president.

The administration atmosphere which
has so persistently clung to the cOnven-
ton city, was yesterday brushed away,
like mist before the morning sun, by The
arrival of the executive arm of the ma
tional committee, and was succeeded by
a very decided Blaine sentiment,
strongly backed up by the local forces.
Minneapolis is for the Maine man, and
doesn't care who knows it. Party lead
ers said as much to Clarkson and FaS-
sett before they had had their morning
cocktails, and received from those
husky fighters a similar assurance on
the part of the country at large. In
half an hour the Blaine current had
swept over the West hotel, and the smile
which so confidently played over the
the faces of the HOosier crowd Wednes-
day gave way to a look OF decided un-
certainty.
"Wait till Quay gets here. in the
morning, and the Blaine boom will be
at high tide" said the confident Blain
iacs to every doubling Thomas.

ABLEST LIEUTENANT.
Land Commissioner Carter Joins
the Harrison Forces.


While Gen. John G. New Will be
recognized as the leader of the admins
tration forces, pushing to the back
ground such able generals as even l..
II. Michener, there is one man who will
deserve more credit in the event of vic
tory perching on the Harrison banners
than New or any one else. That man
reached Minneapolis yesterday without
the blare of single trumpet or the roll
of one drum. He dropped in on the
afternoon train, and his white hat was
conspicuous in the lobbies for
the rest of the day. 1t was
no other than Thomas II. Carter,
of Helena, commissioner of the gen.
eral land office. There is no shrewder
nor DETER manipulated of men in the
ranks of the party than Tom Carter,
and his value is fully appreciated by
the president. When, in the tidal

how Mr.. Blaine can allow his
friends to seriously think of bringing
his name before the convention. His
letter to Mr.. Clarkson. it seemed to me,

he can accept the nomination in any

The Cause of the Junior Senator's
Change of Heart.
W. D. Washburn, the junior senator
from Minnesota, is one of the warmest
of Blaine men as everybody knows. A
year ago he was put down as strong
supporter Of the administration, and
many of his constituents are at loss to
know the cause of his change of front.
1t is easily explained. Early in his SEN
atorial career, Washburn stood in with
Harrison and pulled out patronage in
