The Harrison men were up with the
hrks this morning comparing notes
and laying plans preparatory to the
opening Of the convention. Blaine
men were not numerous until q late
hour, II commenced raining hard
this morning which threw d damper
on pprades, plumes, bands, etc. The
friends Of the administration are in
good mood and declare that nothing
short OF a miracle can defeat Harrison.
They say they are not frightened az,
the bluster Of their opponents and
hope to renominate the President on
| the first ballot. Kitchener this morn
| ing said that Harrison had 5ll votes
beyond any question, and all indica-
tons point TO Harrison's nomination.
The Blaine element is fighting hard
but it cannoA be seen that they are
making any Roadway. They claim the
credential committee BY enough ma
jority to seat anti-Harrison contest
ants and il It is policy the committee
will prolong an indefinite delay. Clark
son says be has been notified that q
fight win be made on Temporary chair

tor Gallon, ofIIlnois, against that 81
l'Fasset. Mr.. New said this morning
that no Aght would be made against
Fassett, but that the Harrison men
win push Cullom.
lilo r. M.-The Blaine men argue
that delegates from states instructed
for Harrison are not bound to abide
instructions as II was presumed at the
time Blaine's letter was final. Since
his resignation the yoke has been 10.
moved from their necks and they can
now act as they see proper. Blaine
republicans from various states have
wired their delegates impressing these
facts upon them. Depew says that
every New York county approves his
support of Harrison and that reaction
favors the President since Blaine's
resignation. He says Harrison ii
stronger before the people than be was
in 1883. Mckinley has received fifty
kilograms from prominent. men all
over the country urging the nomina-
ton Of Harrison. The Harrison men,
while the Blaine men, were still sleeps
/ ing, at an early hour thismorning tore
down all the Blaine pictures in the
West hotel and substituted those Of
the President.
LIS p. m.-The National Commit
tee remained in session early this
morning disposing Of the contested
delegations pending. After Alabama
the Mississippi cases were acted upon.
The principle fight was on Alabama.
The Harrison men seeing that ma
jority Of the committee was against
them ceased opposition after an earnest
protest. All the contestants were
seated thus making loss Of about SO
votes to Harrison. The contest win
be renewed IN open convention BY the
Harrison men.
