MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June S.-The
Blaine people met with surprise this az
terncOn in the Committee on Credentials
They found q counter plan az work 10 de-
feat their purpose TO approve the proceed
ings OF the National committee in the mat
ter Of the contested seats and when vote
was take on the delegates at large and one
district of Alabama they found themselves
in the minority after having confidently
looked TO continued victory in all the con-
tests, previous test OF votes having
showed that they were in majority, and
controlled the committee by majority OF
six votes.
IL was only one vote by which they lost
and subsequently they pulled themselves
together and carried motion 10 adjourn
with another motion TO reconsider pend
ing. Blaine men on the delegation said IL
was set back, but predicted that things
would come out all right IN the end, and be-
fore the report was prepared for submis-
sion to the convention it would be found
that they were again in the majority.
The first movement on the part OF the
Harrison men looking TO more speedy work
on the part of the Credentials Committee,

well, of Massachusetts, as chairman Of the
committee, asked for more time. The
movement was cautious and involved no
fight. 1t was simply a preliminary skir-
mish for an advantageous position.
Spooner, Of Wisconsin, was put for
ward by tho administration men.
and in two questions he gave the in
formation that with good luck a report
ought 70 be made tomorrow, and that the
permanent roll might be made up az any
time. so far as uncontested cases were con-
cerned. An effort made in committee pre-
viously to have these cases reported in ad-
vance Of the report on the contested cases
had failed by avote Of y to 26 and 1t was
for the purpose Of eliciting THIS fact that
Mr. Spooner had made his inquiries.
Whether or not the tactics pursued had
the effect of accelerating the movements OF
the other side is uncertain, but the COM
mittee proceeded with little more expe-
dition, and by ID time for adjournment for
supper had almC At completed consideration

To a Reporter OF the Boston Post-He Re-
fuses TO Say why He Resigned From the
Cabinet-Nothing Definite.
Bosroy, June S.-All day long small
army OF newspaper men laid siege TO ex-
Secretary Blaine, but he invariably refused
10 see any of them until this evening when he
accorded an interview TO a representative
OF the Boston Post.
Being asked the reason for his resignation
from the Cabinet, the ex-Secretary said:
~ shall have to refer you TO the other side
for the answer TO that question"
s'By the other side do you mean Mr.. Har-
risoni" was asked.
s'Certainly," was the reply, but no furth-
er Abatement IN connection with that suo-
iect could be elected from him.
The ex-Secretary assured the Post repre-
sentative that he had received no word
from Minneapolis to-day except the regu-
lar bulletins available to all who could read
the papers: neither had he sent any mes
sage whatever.
In reply TO further questioning he de-
cliped TO state whether even nov be would
accept the nomination for the Presidency
IL rendered him.
II is understood that Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine
will leave for Bar Hsrbor at nine o'clock
Thursday morning.

TIE SILVER PLANK.
How the westerners Worked the Com.
mittee on Resolutions for Second Plank.

MINNEAPOLIS. MINI, June S-The chief
difficulties confronting the Republican
Convention in the matter of platform were
solved this afternoon, lively time preced-
ing the solution. Silver was the rock upon
which the committee nearly split with the
result: discord. and majority and minorl-
" reports 10 the convention as whole.
Silver men had their blood up, and IL de.
feated in the Platform Committee would
have asked nothing better than square
hands-up fight on the floor OF the conven-
tion.
When the Platform Committee as
sembled this afternoon with this unpleas-
ant prospect in view, no reconciliation han
been effected in the subcommittee OF
five, which had been appoi nted by Governor
Foraker to consider the silver problems.
The first matter that came before the
full committee was the subject OF tarin,
and right here was where the silver advo-
Gates showed shrewd generalship. They
doggedly set out 10 contest every inch OF
ground and embarrass their opponents AZ
every stage OF the consideration OF the
platform These bold tactics proved sue
cessful for at 80, when the platform COM
mirtee took recess, the victory was won.
Instead of a free coinage platform sepa-
rate and distinct, they had so shaped the
tariff paragraph Of the report that the hrst
and most conspicuous part of the document
was In accordance with what Is supposed
to be the hearts desire OF the so-calleo sill
yer States.
Free coinage was let go by the board and
in its place silver men gleefully accepted
clause pledging the Republican party 10 the
policy of protective tariff.
The silver men, as soon as the committee
was fairly under way discussing what
should be the second plank, II the platform
troted out free silver as fresh as ever.
The upshot was an agreement that the Sec
ond plank should deal with the silver ques-
tion. The compromise as 10 the language
was that the declaration should be substan-
TALLY as follows:
The American people are by tradition
and interest in favor Of bi-metallic coinage
Of gold and silver. but one dollar should be
as good as another dollar Silver should
be coined at ratio TO be fixed by legisla-
ton and the forthcoming international
Conference is endorsed as PROBABLY fur
nishing a satisfactory solution OF THIS
vexed question of financial retaliatons.'
