tion Adjourned Until To-day.
MINNEAro11s June 1.-THE first day OF the
Minneapolis Convention revealed the fact that
President Harrison's forces have now become
the target for a combined attack. Now 1t Is
Harrison against Blaine. Alger. and Mckinley.
The Blaine men are encouraging the grad
ual uprising OF new candidates In the hope
OF obtaining votes from the Harrison column
1t is evident that they are less eager to-day for
a ballot than are the Harrison men. They arc
playing a waiting game with tho belief
that tho mQRnetlC name Oh bltlue Will CAUSE
a stampede. and that thcy cnn afford to lot
the independent delegates try to work the
charm with other names. For this reason
the names OF Mckinley. AlGer. and
Reed are discussed. in violation OF the
tacit agreement to connne the contest to two
candidates. This Is an evidence OF the Blaine
mems fear to meet the issue. Having the
Committee on Credentials and Resolutions in
their hands. they may be able to postpone the
ball beyond Thursday.
The Blaine men. with the help OF the
National Committee. have made some gains
by seating the contesting delegations from
Southern States. They have added these
votes to the Blaine column. and they claim
with justice. to have drawn many votes from
Harrison by inviting the expectant dark horses
into the contest.
1t is plain that the Harrison mon arc still
working. MS they did at tho first. for the single
purpose OF gaining votes for their own man.
and that they are able to survey their ground
with more confidence and clearness than their
opponents. They make report upon
each delegate by name every night and they
have good majority. whether it amounts to
sixty votes as they claim. or whether It Is
less They are forcing the fighting and they
want the ballot now.

SOMETHING WRONG.
SO Thinks Rev. Thomas Dixon
of the south

New YORK, May 23.-Rcv Thomas
Dixon, jr, spoke of his recent southern
tour yesterday: Among other things he
slid:
81 am not a pcssimist, but during ny
visit to the south was most painfully
impressed with the appalling con
dition of agriculture. The dcpres
sion OF farming interests i'll the
south is truly alarming. Cotton has
been king of the south, but the king has
not only lost his throne, but has become
a beggcr. The farmers are in debt and
are growing more and more hopeless.
Negroes are crowding into the towns
more rapidly than whites and they
quickly fall into vice and rascalitv. The
south is the agricultural garden spot OF
the world and when agriculture fails to
pay then something is wrong

Political. NJ: WS.
To Nominate Blaine, Whether or
NO-"This Is SOmciaI."

The leaders Of the an;i-Harrison
movement hayc adopted plan of ac-
ton.
Neither Mr.. Platt nor Gen Clarkson
succeeded in getting definite acquicscence
or refusal from Mr.. Blaine. He simply
declined to discuss the subject. The lead.
ers therefore have decided to press his
nomination. They will not consider his
recent letter or anything that he may
say or write between now and June I as
positive refusal to accept the nomina-
tiOn.
They will spare no effort to nominate
him as soon as possible after the convcn-
tion meets. Then, if they succeed, they
will adjourn the convention for one day
before nominating candidate for vice
president. They firmly believe that un.
der these circumstances Mr.. Blaine will
deem it his duty to accept. If not, no
harm will have been done.
That, in nutshell is the plan agreed
upon. The biggest and boldest member
OF the combination says it will be adj
hered to regardless of ANYTHING Mr..
Blaine or anybody else NAV say or do.
This is OtflClal.-Ncw York World.
