MrSxEAroIIs, June Ex-Governor Nc
Kinley reached tins ciiy early TINS
morning in company with half dozen
stanch Harrison delegates from Ohio.
1t was expected that the author OF the
famous tariff bill wonld have been able

IN that etate, where the Blaine and
Harrison forces both claim To he IN
the majority. But the governor evl-
IDENTIFY was altogether unprspared 10
discuss the matter further than 10 cay
that IN his opinion, formed without re-
cent knowledge of the temper OF the
delegates. the major part OF the dele
CATION WAS inclined TO Harrison. He
WAS extremely conservative IN hrs
speech, not having conferred with the
leaders of his party and being uncer-
tam and iIl.inforned Of the situation
80 II existed.
But have no doubt that when II
comes TO q vote IN the convention the

NISSEAPoLIs, June 6.-A revivified
Alger boom was celebrated at a meet
ing OF the MIcurgan people held this
afternoon at the Michigan club. A big
sgn IN the Michigan headquarters dur
ing the early afternoon summoned the
Michigan men TO attend conference
To be held IN General AIger's interest
at the Michigan club. Two hundred
and nifty responded to the call aud q
very enthusiastic meeting was held.
Speeches were made by Senator Stock
bridge, Congressman Burrows. John T.
Rich, republican candidate for gov
of Michigan; Colonel Atkinson Of De-
troit and others All of these
speakers advocated keeping Gen
eral Alger's name before the
convention to the end Of the ballot
ing. Mr.. Burrows went so far as to say
that he thought that General Alger's
chances were as good as those of any
one else After the meeting the AIger
men marched IN procession to the West
hotel where they parsded the corridor
and the galleries shouting for their
candidate. They kept up the demon
strstion for nalf hour and then dis
persed.

He Declares That Blainc's Nomination

New YORK, June 6.-The World today
prints communication from Mime
apois signed by Thomas c. Piatt, in
which he is reported as saying: 1.-The
situation remains unchanged, except
that it is growing more Blaineish all
the time. Mr.. Blaine's nomination on
the first ballot is absolutely assured.
Any other result is too improbable to
be worth discussing. The truth is Mr..
Blaine has won the hearts of mae
tenths of the republicans of the coun-
try. They love him and venerate him,
not only tor what he has done, but tor
what he is capable of doing for his coan-
try in the future. He IS the ideal

Harrison are really compelled 10 stand
up and be counted. Mr.. Harrlson's
vote in the convention, however will
be considerable. OF his supporters
over l40 are federal officeholders.
Then there are hundreds of federal
officials here working for the President
VINO are not members of the conven-
ton. 1t Is not surprising therefore,
that the president Is able to hold to-
gether quite a following under the
circumstances. 1t is really remarkable
and strong tribute To the immense
popularity of Mr.. Blaine that the
administration forces are as small as
they are.
