plume or to wear . Blame badge was
welcome to fall in behind and so the
line stretched out TO n great length. A
mounted escort Of police under CON-
mand of Major Henderson. chief of

MINNEAPOLIS, June 8.-The republi-

called the convention to nominate
state ticket for July 20, at East Sagi-
nav.
Two caucuses of the Michigan del
egation were held today which five
members of the delegation refused to
attend. They were Messrs. Merriam,
Porter, Lee, Kelly and Robinson. Mr..
Kelly 10 not known to be Harrison

course 10 that they believe that Colonel

correspondent OF the Detroit News
this afternoon that if the vote had oc-
CURED today President Harrison would
have received more votes from the
Michigan delegation than would Mr..
Blaine. The entire day was spent try
ing TO bring these men into line so as
to give General Alger the full vote of

sented to the convention" esid Sena-

"Will he have the support Of the
entire delegation" was asked.
"No," ne replied, "he will not.
There are tive members of the delga-
ton who will not vote for him."
"Do you think that General AlEer
has any chance of success under these
conditions?"
"The result depends entirely upon
what the friends of Mr.. Harrison may
do. They may choose between Mr..
Blame aud General Alger. There is
not sufficient number of votes under
the control OF the managers of either
the president or Mr.. Blame to nom-
mate him on the first ballot"

SMINNEAroLrs, June S.-The nomlna-
ton of candidate for the presidency
of the United States by the republican
convention may :urn upon the action
of the committee on credentials. There
are about sixty votes involved in the
contest pending before that committee.
In the Louisiana delegation the contest
involves twelve OF the sixteen delegates.
In Alabama fourteen delegates are in
volved out Of total of twenty two. In
the states of Mississippi and Texas there
are also contests, IN the former six del
egates being involved and IN the latter
nearly the entire delegation. The poll.
tical significance of the Texas contest,
however. will hardly have any special
beoring on the result, ne the decision
mt TO recognize the white mans re-
publican party eliminates them from
consideration. In Maryland there are
two delegates, III Kentucky two, in
North Carolina five and in South Caro-
lima the whole delegation of eighteen.
In Georgia two delegates are ut issue
and in Utah two. In the latter there is
no doubt tnat the Blaine men will be
seated, their clam being conceded by
all and sustained by previous action of
the national COMMITTEES. The import
auce of this acquisition to the Blaine

ton with q statement by one of the
prominent workers about headquarters

to Captain Marryat. As the creator Of
"Snarleyyow' Marryat showed marked
ability. How much that great practical
joker, Hook. helped Marryat as collabo-
rator in dog yarns is not known. The
most ingenious one is about Bosun,
represented to be Newfoundland dog.
Bosun's master made bet that, il u

him in his mouth at once. The wager
was accepted and six high hats were

moment. but the noble animal was only

ing the circumference OF the many hats,
Bosun selected at once the largest, then
me next in size and slipped the smaller
into the larger hat and so on until lie
ha,l comfortably nestled the whole six in
the one large hat. Then taking the Ell

brought the six hats to his master. This
