MINNEAPOLIs, Mimi, June tine open
ing Of the last field day before the conven-
ton finds both parties resolute and conf
dent. The arrival of another score OF
prominent leaders this morning showed
about the same division of sentiment as to
Harrison and Blaine that prevailed for the
last two days. The administration is
forced to fear another Blaine outbust Just
prior 70 the opening of the convention, as
nearly ali the prominent Blaine clubs from
the larger cities are delaying their arrival
until this evening or tomorrow morning.
To stem this current the Harrison people
are announcing this plea and declaring that
il viii not dismay their organization or
scatter their delegates.
The positive denial by General Alger Of
TIE report that ne has withdrawn from the
contest adds hope for The Harrison people,
as it is generally understood that nearly
all the AIger following will go to Blaine
when Alger is out, but Alger's position
has really not much changed the situation,
as it has been understood all along that his
candidacy is not an agonistic to Blaine.
He has left his interests in the hands Of
his friends, to act as the varying exigen-
cies may require.
The prevailing opinion today is that
there is no dark morse, but that the con-
test will be fought TO finish between
Blaine and Harrison Should it come to a
dark horse, however, Mckinley is likely to
come up strong as a compromise candidate.
The chief trouble of his candidacy is the
situation in his own state, where the Fora
ker aud Sherman facuOns divide the in
terests.
CoLoRED DELEGATES IN SESSION.
/ An unusually large number OF colored
delegates are in session here. They have
passed a resolution demanding of the Da-
tiOnal convention hearing and cOnsidera-
/ ton of the matter contained in the me-
mortal of the National Civil Rights assO-
citation, as g last guarantee which they can
accept at the hands of the Republican
party. The memorial will be presented
+ early in the proceedings Of the convention.
1t is expected the ton proceedings
tomorrow will be uueventful in political
/ significance. unless both the Blaine and
/ Harrison people should decide to test their
4 strength on the temporary Craftsmanship.

form of majority and minority reports BY

The North Dakota delegation is much
divided on the candidates, but the Blaine
friends succeeded in getting the state
legislature 10 pass resolutions strongly en-
dorsing the candidacy OF Blaine. The
presidency is being discussed today

most frequently mentioned, but Hon. VIM.

WILL BE SLOW GETTING TO WORK.
II looks now as if the convention would
90 slow in getting to work. A temporary
organization. is not likely to be effected.
The leaders begin sparring for advantage,
and permanent organization is not likely
to be effected for two or three days. Depew,
Murat Halstead and others of cooler heads
are at work to restore a better feeling
among the factions, believing that the
present feeling threatens to develop bitter
! ness. such AS 20 make the nomination Of
Cleveland more probable and endanger the
success of the Republican candidate. An

shouted:
''HAUL 1T DOWN. CUT IT DOWN p
One of his followers darted forward and
slashed at it vigorously; almost a rior re-
suited and the end was that the Indiana
Blaine men are made very bitter towards
Harrison. The Blaine forces practically
settled on Fassett of New York for tem-
porarg chairman. The Harrison men cen-
tinue to talk of General Horace Porter for
the position, but have not come 10 q def

president, said he would certainly antago
