MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June IA lively
meeting Of the California delegation was
held yesterday, at which the question of
presidential preference was formally dis
cussed for the first time by the delegates
of that state. The Blaine men, though
in large majority, refrained from TAX
ing a vote. Senator FELTON, made strong
anti-Blaine speech. He said, however,
that he did not care to influence any
member OF the delegation. He had beer
lsked some time ago by Steve Elkins t.
rive his vote to the President and he hat
promised to do SO.
Delegate Knight said they should come
to some agreement to cast the vote Of the
tate solidly for some candidate, and h,
believed he voiced the sentiments of nine
tenths OF the Republicans OF California
when he advised voting for Blaine.
The delegates debated at great length
as to whether Blaine's resignation war
ranted their ignoring instructions, and
finally adjourned without action.

weavers In No. mill of the Thorndike
Company at Thorndike, struck yesterday
against reduction of three cents per
