bril-. nt The sensation OF the day was
the N.thiswnl OF General Alger from the
fiel aS n possibility In any event Senator
Stocahridge announced 10 a reporter that,
notwithstanding the determination 30
bring General Alger's name before the
convention, IL would not be presented.
Senator Stockbridge quoted General Alger
as saying that he had gone iuto this con-
test honestly and with the sincere inten-
tion of making the best fight possible. He
was friend Of Mr.. Blaine. and under the
con itions That now existed he would
withdraw from the field ana not les his
name 90 before the convention at ALL
General Alger was further quoted rs say
ing that he washed his hands OF the whole
business.
The resignation OF Mr.. Blaine was the
topic on every tongue. II made the Blaine
men jubilant, but the friends of President
Harrison were not by any means de-
pressed. They got their baggage slowed
away in their hotel rooms and went right
out to do some early missionary work.
Chris Magee, the proprietor of the
Pittsburg Times, and the leader of the
anti-Quay Republicans In Pennsylvania,
Joined tho Harrison forces early in the
morning.
"The majority Of the Pennsylvania del
egation is for Mr.. Blame" said Mr. Ma
gee to United Press correspondent.
There is Undoubtedly a strong Blaine
feeling in the state. am for Harrison.
There is no doub. that Mr. Blaine could
have had the nomination and could have
been el cted il he should simply have
come out three months ago and said that
he was candilate-if he had written no
letters. But four years ago when lac had

1t is stated that 10 is the intention to
elect Chauncey NJ. Depew chairman Of the
delegation, and then to pass q resolution
requesting him not to present the name
OF Harrison. This will place Mr.. Depew
in position of great difficulty and EN-
barrassment. but it is not likely that he
can be swervei from his intention to work
and talk for the denomination OF the

regarded as friendly to Harrison are not

were shouting for Blaine, and enthusiasm
reached high pitch when they marched

and of course, as there are but two names
before the convention the result will not
long be ia doubt"
1t has been asserted and with equal
force denied, that Mr.. Miller would Join
his forces with those of ex-senator Platt
in opposition to the denomination of
President Harrison, and considerable
weight has been attached to his probable
course in this regard. All doubts have
been set at rest by n conference Of the
Miller delegates held in the rooms OF Ii.
II. Warner at the hotel.
A full discussion of the situation was
had, and it was unanimously agreed to
support the nomination Of Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. Miller himself was present and took
an active part In the conference
Senator Miller confirmed this statement
To II reporter OF the United Press he said:
81 have arrived here after ak weeks
travel over the country. in which I have
not been able to confer with my friends In
New York. Since coming here, I have
consulted with as many of the delegates as
/ could possibly meet In the short time I
have been here. / have found that large
majority OF the delegates are decidedly In
favor OF Mr.. Blaine as representing their
constituents accept that as the views
of the Republicans Of tho state OF New
York. and shall support Nh Blaine in
the convention"
Blaine Has Said "Yea~
Henry G. BurIeigh. one Of tho dejaQatea,
added: "The current talk that Blaine f
being used simply rs q cloud to defeat
Harrison is all nonsense" There is un-
questioned authority for saying that the
friends OF Mr.. Blaine-that Is, those who
have been urging his nomination, have the
fullest authority from him IN the course
they have pursued. In fact there is no
question that Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Clarkson
have an authorization from Mr. Blaine TO
use his name before the convention during
the coming week. Moreover, they have
had the authorization for ten days. This
facts explains much that may have seemed
peculiar in tue attitude of Quay, Garrison
ct al, when they have been claiming that
in spite of his letter Blaine would be
nominated by the convention Mr..
Quay has been thoroughly Informed
OF every projected move Of the ex-secre
tary and was prepared for the announce
ment Of his resignation. Until last even
ing il has been believed by great many
people that Mr.. Blaine's resignation did
not affect his attitude toward the nomina-
tion rs defined In bis letter TO Mr.. Clark
son. The fact that the authorization TO
use his name has been In the hands OF Mr.
Quay and Mr. Ciarkson for ten days Is
evidence sufficient apparently TO prove be
yond question that the resignation OF the
secretary is what Mr.. Clarksoa has
