WESTERN DELEGATES.
a Caucus Which Was Not Entirely Har-
moniOus.


mOniOus.
MINNEAPOLIS, June GA hot contro-
versy broke out at the beginning of the eau
Gus Of the Western delegates that assem-
bled this afternoon in the California dele
cations headquarters. Fully $50 delegates
were present from the Pacific Coast and
Rocky Mountain States. Senator Teller
f. presided. and said it was useless to discuss
the platform until the caucus had decided
as to the candidates to be supported. Ii
Harrison was nominated it mattered not
how strong silver plank was adopted,
the Republicans could not carry the West
ern States. The Senator declared that Har-
risen under no circumstances could get the
electoral vote of Colorado. Much excite
ment was caused by this blunt declaration,
and Judge Spence of California replied
vigorously. De Young followed Spence,
and was reinforced by Boutelle Of Maine.
The latter spoke with marked emotion of the
Western support Of Blaine IN 1884, recalling
that he had been escorted to his home by
the California delegates, a proceeding which
BOutelle urged would be no less fitting now.
Senator Jones of Nevada followed Bou-
tele. Jones declared that Harrison was
dangerous because of his veto prOpensities,
and sad he threatened to veto the free
coinage bill.
Judge Spence contradcted Jones point
blank and gave tit for tat to the radical
silver aud Blaine element in the caucus. He
proclaimed that if split was brought
into the Republican party through the
action of the convention it would rest on
Blaine. The caucus was at once in an
uproar and the Blaine mems shouting and
cheering made such a showing Of strength
that the Harrison men surrendered and left
his opponents to have full sway.

MINNEAPOLIS. June o.-At meeting of
the national committee tonight the Har-
rison men made fight on Fassett and were
defeated The result of the votes for tenn
porary chairman was: Fassett 20. Culom
20; so Fassett Is to be temporary chairman
of the convention. and this as test vote
shows that the Blaine men control the COM
mittee. The election of Fassett is consd-
cred test of the relative strength of the
Blaine and Harrison forces in the national
committee, and in the election of Fassett
Blaine has secured the initial advantage.
The Blaine managers are hilarious to-

California is beginning to look to Ohio
