EARiY MORNING scENEs:
Gossip from the Harrison and Blaine
Headquarters.

Gossip from the Harrison and Blaine
Headquarters.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, juno THE
morning opened murky and the tired
politicians were slow in assembling
around headquarters. A few who.were
up at 0 o'clock said the situation was
unchanged since midnight, when Mr..
Blaine was gaining a little. At the
Harrison headquarters Gen. Michner,
OF Indiana, was laying out the plans
Tor the work OF the day. 1t isapparent
that the efforts OF the Harrison men at
present are principally devoted TO hold
ing in line the Southern vote, which
has shown some signs Of weakening,
and to keeping true to their assurances,
delegates from Missouri, Iowa, Illinois
and other states where the Blaine sem
timent had heretofore been rampant,
and where there are some delegates
who but for their instructions would be
inclined to again follow their old leader.
Mr.. Griffin, the ex-secretary OF state,
ofIndiana, speaking tor the harrison
people, expressed undiminished con-
fldence in the renonlinatiop OF the
President. He declared that 1t was Har-
rison against the field and asserted that
the anti-administration men, realizing
that they could not beat Harrison with
Blaine were trying to bring out Cpllom
to divide the strength Of the President
in Illinois; Rusk to cut into the Prest-
dent in the Badger statei Alger TO cap
tnre doubtful votes in Michigan, and
Mckinley to swing Ohio votes in line.
Gen. MiGhner was In consultation
with Powell Clayton, OF Arkansas. on
the Missouri delegation this morning
for the purpose OF keeping the lines IN
the Southwest intact. A visit to some
ofthe delegations shows that the Presi-
dentis stronger on q direct, vote pc
tween the South and Blaine than he IS
on indirect propositions, such as the
selection OF d chairman, the. organiza-
tion OF committee or motions oil
preliminary nature. Men who are
naturally Blaine men, but are INSTRUCT
ed for Harrison feel at liberty on these
indirect propositions to vote according
totheir personal wishes.
Around the national committee head-
quarters Perry Carson, the big national
Committeeman from the District Of Co
lumbia, was the only person OF any
political reputation who was around:
Tho victory OF Congressman Houk, Of
Tennessee, over ex.Congtessman Evans,
who led tho Harrison faction, was q
source Of considerable qualification 70

tegration OF the South.

men were % for Harrison and two Tor

mittee on credentials. 1t is stated that
the anti Harrison clement predominates
in this committee, and IL Is current
rumor late tonight that 1t may be
deemed advisable by the controlling
faction to postpone any report on'the
numerous contests until tits ascertained
just how prominent part the favored
delegates may be able to play in the
convention.
In the Louisiana delegation the con-
test involves twelve ont OF tho sixteen
delegates; in Alabama fourteen dele
gates are involved out OF q total OF tweh.
ty-two. In the states Of Mississippi and
Texas there are also contests, in the
former six delegates being involved and
in the latter nearly the entire delega-
tion. The political significance OF the
Texai contest, however, will hardly
have any special bearing on the result
as the decision is not to recognize the
white mans Republican party climin-
ates them from consideration. in this
convention.
In Maryland there are two delegates
involved; in Kentucky two and in
South Carolina the whole state delega,
ton OF is. In Georgia two delegates
are at issue, and in Utah the two Blaine
delegates will be seated. In. the grand
total therefore the contests involve
aboutstxty delegates, and twill be seen
that in a close contest between the two
candidates, 1t would be entirely in the
power OF this committee, il It's report
were adopted, to exert u controlling In
fiuence on the contest. Both sides are
watching tho committee very closely,
and It is likely that considerable time
will be consumed in its deliberations

MISxEAPoLs, June7.- There are many
people who believe tonight that the
committee on credentials may be the
controlling factor in determining the
nominee OF the convention and the pro-
ceedings OF that committee are being
watched with absorbing interest. In
this convention there arc somewhat
lnore than the usual number OF con

tests have been referred 10 the COM

The first applause Of the convention
was when at ten minutes to noon, Gov
ernor Mckinley was seen entering the
main aisle. Tie rapture with which the
spectators and delegates clapped hands,
stamped and shouted for tho Ohio gov
ernor and then crowded around him to
shake his hand seemed prophetic, -
Chauncey Depew, Senator Hiscock,
Warner Miller and Platt almost
punched, were the next arrivals to at
tract attention as they marched in with
probably fifty other New Workers, who
were generally applauded. Following
close upon the heels OF the New YORK
delegation came the Illinois delegation.
Prominent among them was Senator
Cullom, and whispers Of dark horse
we're heard here and there as the sena-
tor took scat.
A moment later a storm OF cheering
broke out in the back OF the hall, where

present. 1t certainly was the greatest
outbreak OF enthusiasm thus far, and
everybody looked to see the cause. It

It was fitting, perhaps, that the
patriotic airs OF Columbia, " My
Country, IT'S OF Thee" and the "star

llde to the opening Of the National CON

Special Dftpdteh 10 ne Inielt1etez
NItSSEApoLis. MIN, Juno 7.--The
anti.Harrison managers were much
afraid that fight would be made on
Fassott for temporary chairman. He is
New York man OF the Platt following,
and strongly against President Harri-
son. The crowd had heard that Harri-
son men would oppose him with Horace
Porter, Cullom or Mckinley, and the
galleries were looking for fight. Fas.
sett knocked out would mean strength
enough to nominate the President on
the first ballot. Harrison people en-.
joyed the situation. They had no
thought OF opposing Fassett. Some Of
them had felt like doing il, but the
Presidents responsible representatives
forbade 1t, saying there was nothing to
be gained by show OF Glands"
60 early; that 70 defeat Faseett would
make bad feeling and that the Presi.
dent insisted that his campaign should
be conducted without bitterness, and
remembering tina; November is9to fol-
low June. When q chorus ot ayes
responded to Fassett's name and not a
voice was heard in opposition, anti
Harrisonians we're greatly relieved.
Fassott made clever speech, but Ihave
heard him do better. Each side claims
committees on credentials and perma-
nent organization, but there are in each
enough uncertain elements to make
both committees uncertain.
WORK OF CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.
The committee on credentials has a
big pile of work before 1t and may be in
scssion the greater part OF the night
There are some strong mon in il, and il
the battle shall he joined there 1t will
be only preliminary to heavy hitting
in the convention.
In making up the roll the national
committee found in most cases that tho
anti.Harriaon man was the man.it was
looking for. The opposition gives out
no figures, Harrison mon count 62l
attcr excluding every doubtful vote and
allowing every contested seat to be
filled as tho national committee has
filed 1t, 1know the figures in detail,
aud, so far as there is anything to Judge
by, they are to be relied on for the first
ballot.
HARRIsoS's STRENGTH.
That, Of course, is enough II the
strength bO as the figures show, II be-
tween now and Thursday, when the
ealloting is expected to begin, these
figures shall be so impaired as that the
President cannot be nominated ON the
first ballot, although he were to have
more votes than any other, his chance
would probably be gone. II sooms a
case Of first ballot or Dust ns It stands.
West Virginia will certainly givo Har-
rison ten votes. There Is n prospect OF
the two Blaine votes going to make 1t
solid on tho first ballot, but lookto see
it ton and two.
