ment that the presidents followers
should discourage acrimonious denunci-
alton of Blaine and conduct campaign
having for its basis instructed delegates
for the president, his excellent admins
tration and previous good running. 1t
was particularly impressed upon all that
good nature should prevail.
SENATOR woLcorr's VIEWS.
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, was
called upon for his views in reference to
the sudden change in the political situa-
tion. He said: SIT does not change
the situation materially, except to ac-
centuate the insult which the president,
in his interview. and Attorney General
Miller and Secretary Foster in theirs.
attempted to inflict upon Blaine,
whose friends have realized for
some time that the president sought
to minimize the effects of the wisdom
and sagacity of the secretary of state,
but it appears that they not only desire
to ignore him, but because he did not
seem disposed to write letter every
few minutes, they saw fit to throw mud.
The resignation may be of some help
here, as it leaves vacant another Office
to peddle for Harrison votes. As for
Colorado, we are for Blaine; as for the
northwest, it is the same. Harrison
could not carry Colorado"
Charles F. Griffin, ex-secretary of
man comedies that Harrison is the only
Republican that can carry Indiana; at
least if he can't, no one can"
DEPEw OUT OF SORTS.
Chauncey M. Depew was not in his
usual amiable humor when he emerged
from the conference, and declined to be
interviewed. He said, however, that
he would vote for Harrison.
National Committeeman Payne of
Wisconsin said: II think it means that
the president cannot be nominated, or
elected if nominated but whether Blaine
will win, is not go clear"
Senator Teller of Colorado thought
Blaine would be nominated.
7. H. Carter of Montana said CAS-
surances have been voluntarily offered
by the representatives of every delega-
tion in Minneapolis, and by some dele
cations by telegraph, that it is wholly
immaterial who the candidate opposed
to the president may be, the PRECEDENT
will be loyalty supported tnoughout."
Senator Stockbridge of'Michigan said:
"With Alger on the ticket, with Blaine
at the head, we will sweep the coun-
try"
Senator FELTON,, a delegate. at large
from California, said: Don't think that
it is significant factor in the contest
whether Blaine is candidate or not; it
will be Blaine the same as itwould have
been before"
John G. New said: 'I don't think
the resignation will change anything.
There is no danger OF stampede. We
have the delegates to nominate Har-
rison."
M'KINLEY is FOR HARRISON.
It is stated tonight that Governor Nc
KiDIey, who will arrive tomorrow, will
declare for Harrison. This information
comes from Delegate George E. Bald
win, of McKinley's own town. Today
Baldwin said: "Governor Mckinley
authorizes me to say that upon his ar
rival in Minneapolis, he will become
one of the most persistent workers for
Harrison"
Ex-senator Platt says Harrison's
forces are greatly demoralized, and it
is now only question whether Blaine
will receive majority or be nominated
unanimously.
Chairman Clarkson said Blaine's
resignation added dramatic feature to
will try to preserve the proceedings
from bitterness and anything like differ
ences from generating into feuds.
A. L. Conger of Ohio, q national COM
mitteeman, said "With the all-power-
full patronage at the disposal of the ad-
ministration, and nearly 200 office-hold-
ers as delegates. and many other Office
holders working on the outside, Blaine
has clear majority, and Harrison's
supporters are having all they can do to
hold their forces in line. There are
many delegates who, under so-called in
structions, openly declare that, since
Blaine's resignation, they will vote for
him. If the capitalization of public SEN
| timent continues, Blaine's nomination
| will surely come by acclamation.
Senator Matt Quay said Blaine's res
ignation will undoubtedly produce his
nomination.
Ex-Governor Foraker said the conven-
ton will nominate Blaine, there ia no
second choice. Alger or Rusk will have
second place.
A MUCHTALKED-OF DARK HORSE.
Late tonight there are rumors of a
clark horse" and compromise" can.
didates. But most of this talk ema-
mates from uncommitted delegates, and
does not receive much credence. lhe
names most frequently mentioned are
Cullom, Alger, Mckinley and Allison.
The divisions in the Illinois, Ohio and
Iowa delegations make these delegates
quite willing to settle on favorite son,
should the situation warrant it. Alger
already has the Michigan delegation,
and it is said Cullom can have the 4e
votes of Illinois, but the senator is loyal
to Harrison and does not permit the
discussion of his availability by the del.
egates of his state. 1t is evident, how.
ever, that certain Illinois delegates are
awaiting favorable opportunity to
start popular movement in his favor.
In the event of the decentralization Of
both the Blaine and Harrison forces, il
is believed Alger will receive Blaine's
strength, while the administration dele
gates will be divided between Cullom
and Mckinley.
j A few delegates outside of the Illinois
men are using the name of Robert Lin
coin. but the suggestion does not arouse
any enthusiasm.
RUsK's CHANCES ARE GOOD.
| Many delegates are now here waiting
to hear what effect the recent develop
ments will have upon the people wht
sent them. Some are looking for
