Not Be Mentioned-He Still Believes
the President Is Sure to Be Renomi-
nated-singular Buckeye Modesty,
IFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENCE
MINNEAPoLIs, June 6.-Governor Nc
Kinley, accompanied by the Mckinley
Club Of Canton, and some Central Ohio
delegates. arrived this morning The Major
was laborSng under cartload of modesty,
but he is the same genially-disposed man
he always is The Ohio Association had
arranged to give him a rousing reception,
but he would not permit demonstration.
81 am not Presidential candidate" he
said, "in any sense, so let there be no
booming of my name"
"Why, he would not allow the Canton
bows to put a streamer on the car announc-
ing that they were the Mckinley Club, I"
Editor Frease, of the Canton Repository,
complained HE said to US that we should
60 to Minneapolis as good Cantonians and
Republicans, not as Mckinley roosters." -"
When the Governor was seen at the West
Hotel, he was in good humor, and as coy
as a maiden of 16. CT think it looks like
Harrison, sure" he remarked. s'What do
you think about it?" he added.
"Do you really believe Harrison will be
nominated" was asked.
"Well, his friends are very confident"
he replied.
"There is considerable talk for you, Gov
ernor," was suggested.
AT this he jumped away about ten feet,
but he came back. 'If you talk that way"
he said, 81 don't want to have anything to
do with you"
If the lightning came his way he would
not get out of its track.
John c. New is very mad, and between
his frothings he says if Harrison can't be
nominated the President will throw all his
influence and delegates to Mckinley.
Congressman Dalzell and Huff, of Green's
burg, got in this morning They think
from the present outlook that it will be
neither Blaine nor Harrison, but the dele
gates will unite on Mckinley.
The Blaine Club, of Cincinnati, with the
Beldstedt Band, arrived at noon. They have
white hats. red, white and blue umbrellas,
like the Americas Club. They made
magnificent show on the streets, and were
loudly applauded, even by Harrison BOOM
ers. Mayor Mosby was Chief Marshal and
Ex-Governor Foraker, who is a member of
the club, got out his white plug and
marched with the boys in the ranks The
Cincinnati fellows made the town ring with
cheers for Blaine, and they added very
much to the enthusiasm for the Maine man.
One thing is lacking in MINNEAPOLIS, and
that is the bands. The rooters can't shout
forever, and they need music to relieve and
revive them. The Beldstedt Band puts
considerable life into the Blaine howlers
tonight. The West Hotel lobby is iammed
continually with lot OF fellows who are
carried away with the excitement, and their
yells are more terrific than the famous
Comanche Indians on the plains.

going to the headquarters of the various
State delegations with the informa-
tion that Harrison cannot possibly carry
New York this year, that it cost 81, ,0OO, 900
to carry it for him four years ago, and that
it can't possibly be done again.
This is intended to counteract the an

FORAKER DOWNED AGAIN,

The Sherman Faction Still Too Strong for
the Fiery Ex-Governor-The Senator's
Lieutenant, Captain Hahn, Chosen to
Succeed Colonel Conger on the National
COMMITTEES.
tFRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT
MINNEAPoLIs, June 6.-The Ohio caucus
was short but sweet. 1t resulted in vic
tory for the Sherman-McKinley element
against Foraker. State Chairman Hahn
was selected to represent the State on the
National Committee instead of Colonel
Conger
The Foraker candidate was Charles
Kurtz, the former private secretary for the
Ex-Governor. His name was presented, but
when Foraker saw how things were going
he took down Mr.. Kurtz, and Colonel Lem
inert, Of Bucyrus, was put up as his stand
ard bearer. The Colonel is strong man,
and he got number of votes that Kurtz
would not have received. The ballot stood
% for Hahn, q for Lemmert.
1t will be seen that Hahn had tough
struggle, and he won by nose. During
the day Colonel Conger was talked of as
compromise between the two factions, but q
telegram from Secretary Foster to Chair
man Hahn soon disposed of him. Foster
gave orders to his friends to vote against
Conger, on the ground that recently, when
the Colonel was in Washington, he told the
Secretary he was for Harrison and against
Blaine. On this basis Foster agreed to sup
port him. When he heard Conger was
working for Blaine he worked against him.
Mckinley was elected Chairman of the
delegation; Grown, of Fostoria, Secretary;
Judge j. H. Amber was put on the Rules
Committee, and Judge George X. Nash on
the Committee on Permanent Organization.
No poll of the delegation was made. At
torney General Richards claims the delega-
tion stands % for Harrison, 16 for Blaine.
Several other delegates furnished the same
figures, but this must be taken for what it is
worth, as it comes from Harrison source.
The Blaine people feel sure they will get
at least half of the Buckeye delegates.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The attention
of Indian Commissioner Morgan was
Monday called to a press dispatch from
Guthrie, o. T., stating in effect that
there were we'll grounded fears of
trouble among the Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe Indians in Oklahoma during the APP
preaching winter, because of the reduc-
ton in the food supply furnished by the
government, and stating that even now
they were in state of great distress for
want of food. For this condition of af-
fairs, the dispatch stated. the govern
ment is by many persons held directly
responsible.
Commissioner Morgan said: at will
be sufficient reply to this statement to
give the facts In regard to what the
Cheyennes and Arapahoes have actually
received They number $500. Since
the year 1859 there has been expended
for their benefit for rations, clothing,
employees, etc, the sum of 81, 109,85 in
fulfllment of treaty stipulations; there
has also been expended in their behalf
for the same purpose since 1872, the sum
of S., 293, $3.50. all of which was gratu-
ity, given by congress to supply their
necessities and promote their civiliza-
ton, and not called for by any treaty"
