Special to the APrEALl
Minneapolis June 10 1t is easy
this morning to see who are the wire
pullers of the convention and the
single handed workers of the delega-
ton.
You meet the haggard, anxious
faces of men who have not slept a
wink all last night and some who did
not even sleep the night before.
Napoleon lost the battle of Water
loo from loss of sleep and there are
men here whose brains are SO worn
out with worry and over work that
they are incapable of thinking any
more.
THE WORN AND WEARY QUAY.
An hour ago l sa@ Quay coming
from his hotel. lis step was un-
steady, his face E face Of man
ten years older than it looked forty
eight hours ago.
| have not seen GARRISON but he
can't look any more worn and weary.
To me Quay looked ike beaten
man as he came out Of the darkened
hall eff the hotel. An instant later
he faced the light and stepped into
the street with an air Of gladness and
confidence.
If there is any load Of impending
defeat on his mind he was able to
mask it when lie mingled among his
fellows
The convention is assembling and
the vast and excited crowds Of spec
tators have already nearly filed the
spacious galleries.
1t is a grand sight; sight worth
ones lifetime to see.
Twelve thousand is the estimate
made of the people who can crowd
this hall, where the next ruler of the
nation will be named.
Every individual in the assemblage !
is in the highest tension of excite
ment Each has boyant hope Of
the success of favorite.
In the press gallery hundred ru-
mors are flying about, and each cor
respondent is swapping information
with his neighbor.
1t is understood here that the |
session is to be startled with big sur
prises, and the most important is
that Blaiac's name will not be pre-
scented, as a combination has been
effected by which Mckinley will be
nominated.
All concede that Harrison must
win on the first ballot or never.
The New England States haYe
been in session this morning trying
to effect combination on Reed.
FACE TO FACE.
The Convention is called to order
now 1t is half past IL o'clock, and
4 minister lifts his voice in the mock
cry of prayer, which nobody wants
to hear, and all are glad it is soon
over.
The prayer, however, has tho eff
feet of hushing the turmoil, and then
the two armies are face to face.
The question of the minority re
port of the Credentials Committee is
the opening gun Of the battle, The
Blaine men send out their skirmish
line, but Quay, ever on the alert,
announces that they win not oppose
He wants to clear the
field of all obstruction and open the
real battle. Il
A buzz goes through the hall; it is
clear to everybody that the Harrison
men realize their strength, and are ,
eager for the charge.
The Blaine men see that it is use
less now to spar for time or show
waver in the line, and so the Blaine
forces push to the administration en- {
trenchments with fixed bayonets.
Mrs Helen Foster, temperance !
reformer, has gained the platform s
and addresses the Convention.
A woman seems out of place at this a
time, but it is the tacit understand $
ing that woman will be listened to
on such an occasion. t
After she retires the roll call of j
States begins.
THE ROAR ON THE BLAINE BATTERY.
The Blaine men open fire from the
