will strengthen rather than weaken
Harrison 1t has removed from him the
mystery surrounding him. He has lost
that attractiveness which accompanies
uncertainty. l think the resignation at
this time was a mistake. I think II has
hurt him with the delegates and with
the people We could feel the effect of
IT as we zane through the country.
The announcement would da2e o big
crowd such az Is here, but when one
man heard 1t be had an opportunity to
think quietly, and l believe the general
opinion Of the people is that Blaine hos
made a mistake"
Concerning the permanent chirman-
ship, Gov. Mckinley said: 'Ihave heard
nothing about the matter. l am not q
candidate for the place If l should be
asked TO serve, l should do So"
The reporter asked the Governor II
there was my possibility that his name
would come before the convention as q
compromise candidate.
81 am not in any sense a candidate"
he said. 81 will not even discuss II. l
take It only two names will be presented
70 the convention and that therefore the
nomination will be on the first ballot.
DISPOSITION OF THE coNTEsTa
The subcommittee of seven, TO

OILS; in the Sixth district the contestants
and contestees were each given half e
vote; In the Seventh district DR.. Mott
was given q vote and the contestees,
Waller and Bailey, a half vote each.
In the Mississippi case, which was de-
cided on Saturday, a motion TO recon-
slider was made and carried, and the
contestants were all seated by a vote of
four to three. The matter now goes to
the full committee for approval, and it
is conceded that the action of the sub
committee in throwing out the Harrison
votes, about 40 in all, will be sustained.
In the North Carolina contests Col.
Canaday, committeeman, says that no
change in the vote for President will be
effected by the action of the committee.
A coLoRED MEMS MEMORIAL.
1t has been many years since a Repub-
llcan National Convention contained so
many colored delegates as will be seated
In the convention hall to-day. A mass
meeting Of coloTed delegates and politi-
clans has been held in this city, at which
resolutions were adopted that the color
ed delegates to the Republican National
Convention demand of the convention q
respectful hearing and consideration of
the matters presented and contained in
the memorial of the National Civil
Rights Association, and that the colored
delegates stand upon such a declaration
of rights as the last guarantee which
they can accept at the hands of the Re-
publican party. The memorial will be
presented to the convention in earlier
hours by the oolored delegates, and 10
will be espoused by Albion W.. rouTgee,
the well-known agitator.
STATEMENTS OF LEADERS,
Ex-senator Thomas G. Platt said last
night:
~ am absolutely certain the result
will be in favor of Blaine. We have as
surances from more than $50 delegates
that they will vote for Mr.. Blaine on the
first ballot. We are certain there are
other men who will vote for Blaine
when they realize the situation, as they
will before the balloting begins, because
their hearts are for Blaine, although
they are instructed to vote for the Pres
ident."
Ex-senator Warner Miller said;
II awe no explanation TO make for
my declaration in favor of Mr.. Blaine
other than l made last night. The Re-
publicans of New York clearly want Mr..
Blaine nominated. They as clearly do
not want Mr.. Harrison. Mr.. Blaine can
carry the State. 1t is the fear that Mr..
Harrison cannot carry IL that a~ctuates
the Republicans OF New York In their
opposition to his denomination.
BLAIN -PRoNoUNCEs THE FALSE.
The Washington correspondent Of the
Minneapolis Tribune" telegFaphs as
follows:
"a question Of veracity has arisen re-
garding the interview with ex-SeoretAry
