MISSION WORK FOR BLAINE.
An attempt Made to Corral Some Of the
Opposition.
MINNEAPOLIS, June GA committee
from the Blame faction of the New
York delegation started on a mission
ary tour at their headquarters. Ex-
Congressman Burleigh headed the del
egation. The first place they visited
was the headquarters of the New
Hampshire delegation where they
found Ex-Governor Cheney and several
members of the delegation. Mr.. Cheney
told the visitors that he would be very
glad to listen 10 their arguments, that
ne was open to arguments. Mr.. Bur-
leigh made the first argument, putting
forth the claim OF Mr.. Blaine as strong
as he could on the one proposition that
the president could not possibly carry
New York with Mr.. Plat aud Warner
Miller against hIm. He said that Mr..
Platt opposed him because he believed
he could not carry the state. Mr..
Barnes of the Albany Journal, who fol-
lowed Mr.. Burleigh, said the state of
New York could not be carried without
accessions from the democratic vote.
The burden of what Mr.. Barnes said
WAS that Mr.. Blaine could draw from
the demo ocratic vote and that Harrison
could not. State Senator OCOnnOr,
who followed. SAID that the republican
candidate could not be elected without
the state of New York.
Personally, Nj. O'Connor said, he
was in favor of the presidents re-
nomination. but he was no woIshipper
of idols. He believed in the good of
the republican party above all things.
Mr.. Harrison had made enemies
through the distribution of patronage
and because of his manner. 1t Was =
dissatisfaction inseparable from his
office ami much of it TO his credit, but
the dissatisfaction would lose HIM not
only New York but the silver states as
we'll.
Sharp Parry OF Words.
Mr.. Blake, one of the two Blaine
men from New Hampshire, spoke tor a
few minutes. He said that New
Hampshire would have more Blaine
men If she had not sent some men of
putty I'd the convention. He wanted
to tell the New York people tina: Gov
ernor Cheney had done everything in
his power to beat Mr.. Blaine IN New
Hampshire.
There is no doubt about that" said
Governor Cheney.
"And we will get even with you for
it," said Mr.. Blake, somewhat heatedly.
That's alright" replied the gov
ernor, smiling. The New Workers
gave three cheers for Blame as they
left the New Hampshire headquarters.
The next visit was made to the Arkan-
sas delegation, where the same argu-
ments were repeated 10y Mr.. BurleIgh,
Senator O'Connor, Mr.. IRWIN and
others. The proceedings were inter-
rupted at this point 10y the entrance
of Senator Iiiscock followed by
Postmaster Carroll T.. Smith OF Syra-
cuse and others. and as Mr.. IRWIN was
speaking there were loud crlcs for SEN
ator Eiscock. He said from his point
of view be knew the condition of pub
lie sentiment in the state of New York
as thoroughly probably as any other
man, and knew that Harrison could
carry the state. He then went on 10
speak of the evidences of President
Hsrrison's popularity, citing among
other things his recent visit 10 Roches-
ter. He said as he passed through the
southern counties and up through the
central parts of the state there WAS a
popular uprising and enthusiasm such
as had never been equailed before.
There were sarcastic remarks that IL
was very well done. Hlscock responded
as he moved toward the door, "1es, II
was well done.' Some of the gentlemen
who had already spoken began to call
him back, telling him not TO run away.
Hiscock No Guesser.
They said he must not turn back
and he said. 81 am not running away,
and then disappeared ih the corridor.
General Laughliu was then called oui
snd made speech in reply TO Senator
Hiscock's address, declaring that
Blame was the only candidate thai
could possibly be depended upon tc
carry Virginia. The next speaker was
IL. III. Warner of Rochester. who at
tackled Mr. HIscock's position at seversl
points, but especially m his claim oi
understanding the politics of the state
of New York. "Why." sad ne, II met
him in the Fifth Avenue motel durins
last years canvass and asked him ilow
be SIZED up the situation. lie answered
that he considered ms state would give
the republicans 25,0o0 majority. told
him that / considered the democrats
