Delaware's Delegates to Minneapolis
Home Again-All Enthusiastic over
the Outcome of the Great Conyen-
tion-Postninster stewart Talks.
Delaware's delegates to the great
National Republican Convention at
Minneapolis left that city at 10 O'CLOCK
on Friday night and stopped off day
to do up Chicago.
There they visited the site of the
Worlds Fair, where they saw great
preparations for the largest fair ever
held In the world. They also saw the
grent wigwam In which the Democrats

noon, all well and hearty and pleased
with the treatment they had re Q we'd.
As there was some doubt as to how
the Delaware delegates voted at the
Convention for President all doubts
were removed by the arrival of the
Delaware party. 1t was then deflnite-
" stated that Colonel George W.
ley; j. Francis Bacon OF Georgetown
voted for Blaine. and the remainder
OF the delegateS-Senator Higgins,
George V. Massey. George L. Pierce
and General james II. Wilson-voted
for Harrison.
A representative OF tho REPUBLICAN,
saw Postmaster Daniel T.. Stewart
this forenoon and asked him how
abont the report In certain papers
that Senator Higgins was ready at
times to Hop off from Harrison, and
go to Allison or some other dark
horse candidate.
There is not word OF truth In the
report" said Mr.. Stewart. President
Harrison had no more loyal supporter
during the whole contest than Senator
Higgins. 1t is true that the opponents
OF Harrison in beating around for re.
cruits may have approached Mr.. ItiR-
gins as they approached any 9th
friend OF Harrison. when nothing
more could be expected than that no
should ask who their man was and
what they had TO propose.
This was all and nothing m ore, and
nearly every Harrison man at the con-
Yention had the same experience in
This respect"
MIR. Stewart is enthusiastic over the
results OF the convention. The HART
son men he said had tho most perfect
organization he ever knew any body
OF men to have-eQual to Conklinp's
306 Grant men. There was no time be
said from tho time the convention met
until the nomination was made that
tho Harrison men did not know within
ten men OF their entire strength.
The Blaine men, rather the anti-Har-
rlson men. had the party leaders, such
as Quay, Platt, Clarkson and Foracre.
but they had no organization. the
latter was all on the Harrison side.
The antics could shout tho loudest,
but the Harrison men could outvot0
them. The Harrison organization wa,
SO perfect that there was no chance
Tor anyone to stray away. 1t was not
known at the time, but 1t is fact that
Whenever eight or ten Harrison meA
would go away together, care was
taken that somebody was with them
or near them. ..-.-
The postmaster said there really
were no Blaine men in one sense at
the Convention, but as Blaine could
rally more supporters than any othef
opposition candidate to Harrison, he
was put forward was anything tobeat
Harrison. The opposition was after
sentiment. and in order to get that
they bored everything whether dele
gates or not. Mr.. Stewart says he
never saw the like OF such wave OF
popular feeling as took possession OF
the Convention on Friday just before
the nomination took place. There
were $500 extra tickets sold for en-
trance to the Convention.
The Anti-Harrison men got posses
sion OF the most of these tickets, and
filled up the convention hall. "Such
continued hurrah l mover heard" said
MIR. Stewart" il seemed almost Impoa-
slble to keep from being carried away
with it. But tho men stood firm and
"a nt oh hnN m
q counter cheer, and when the time
for the ballOting commenced they
polled the same vote they had held
from the commencement.
The Harrison men knew to q man
what vote they would poll and they
polled it.
Mr. Stewart says that Senator VOL
colt made a powerful speech In nomi.
mating Blaine. The burthen of 1t was
that the convention was run by offloe
holders OF tho adm 'nistration. The
opposition went so far as to permit q
list OF tho names OF $50 office holders
present, and circulated the lists"
Did they catch you, Mr.. Stewart"
tho reporter asked2
No, they didn't catch me-" said Mr..
Stewart, .'forl l boarded in st. Pauls."
MIR. Stewart speaks IN high praise of
the climate, soil and products of Min
nnsota. Everything In Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois looked backward, and
business seemed flat, but in Minnesota
everything was chan ed. lie never
saw better crops OF wheat and grass,
but corn was little backward. The
country In Minnesota is rolling, the
most billy portions reminding MIR.
