THEIR views DIFFER,
But Everybody Comedies That There
Will Be a Big Fight
BEFORE A CANDIDATE IS NAMED
Al the Minneapolis ConventOn-The Blaine Men
and the Harrison Men Seem about Equally
Confident Of the Ultimate Success Of Their
FsyOritss-In.eryisws with Delegates.

MINNEAPoIIs, MINI, June 3.-There
are two Presidential tickets in the field
to-night-the peoples candidate and
the administration candidate.
This is the latest move Of the Blaine
managers and in the long hours OF the
night wOrkmen are engaged in manu-
featuring and celebrating immense ban
ners which are 20 extend from Blaine
Headquarters across the two tntersecting
streets aud bear the words The
Peoples Headquarters, Blaine, Blaine,

ally rechristened the Blaine boom, and
visitors 20 the spacious nall In the Lum-
ber Exchange are now informed that
they are In the Peoples headquarters
and that the Plumed knight Of Reel
procity is the peoples candidate-the
choice Of ali factions and the special
candidate of none"
In many other ways are impetus and
enthusiasm being added 10 the Blaine
movement. A pearl button, the pro-
duct of American manufacture and De-
troit ingenuity adOrns the lapels OF
hundreds Of representative tonight,
bearing the inscription, Reciprocity,
Blaine, Protection
But in the midst Of all this enthusi-
asm for the man from Maine, 1t must
not be inferred that the Harrison men

fully as confident to-day as they were
yesterday, and this confidence seems
Justified by the fact thrt despite the ex-
travagant claims Of the opposition party
leaders, two-thirds Of the delegates who
have thus far arrived in the city are
utspOken for the Presidents renomi-
nation.
Ii may be that all this is but the re-
suit OF chance, or that Harrison dele
gates are being summoned 10 the scene
10 offset the Blaine demonstration; but,
however this may be, the strength OF
the President among the very men who
are 20 make the nomination next week
is the. source OF much satisfaction 20 the
harflson people, and does not afford
any qualification TO their opponents.

YBlaiue and that his own State delega-
ltion is now for Blaine for the PreSi-
'dency and Alger for the Vice PreSiden-
cy no one any longer doubts. II there
had been any Skepticism upon this
point it was removed tonight by the
distribution OF a circular from the
Michigan headquarters bearing the por-
traits OF Blaine aud Harrison, and read
ing as follows:

sFreemOnt and Dayton. 1856. Blaine
and Alger, Minneapolis, 1892.
Tie Republican party and the people
demand the nomination OF Blaine
Because he demands tue confluence and
admiration Of our entire population in a
greater degree than does any ether living
American 70 day.
"Because the cardinal principles of the
Republican party reciprocity which he
originated and 'protecuOD,' the unyieldlng
cham 0iOn of which he mas been Tor more
than a quarter OF century, would be best
administered in his hands.
Because he believes in the eternal sep

farmers who have been drifting from their

Because large number Of thoughtful,
conservative Democrats, who understand
and apprec ate Mr. Blaine'S great ideas as
10 reciprocity and protection, and who
most earnestly commend and endorse his
views as 10 the rights and duties OF Ameri-
can citizenship, viii cast their votes Tor
him this year.
- because a great majority Of the Repuo-
Dican party believe that one term IN the
Presidential chair is honor enough for any
man, and that this policy should be ad-
hered to except in cases OF great emergency
OF national danger, which DO not exist at
this time.
Because Mr. Blaine most keenly real
