MINNEAPOLIS, June Gone B. G. Marsh
claiming to be relative of Senator Shelb.
M. Cullom, circulated report last nigh
that the senator had received letter frou
President Harrison to withdraw his nam
from the convention if he was not noml
mated on the first ballet. Senator Cullon
" rs seen and he fatty denies it. lie say
he don't know Marsh and that the lette
lie fabrication.
Rumors of all sorts are prevalent. l.
was said this morning that several OF thu
Indiana delegation were ready to break
to Blaine. This was no doubt caused by
the slight friction in that delegation yes
terday, but the Indiana delegates are still
solid for Harrison. Another report OBJ,
tanned quite circulation that Blaine had
withdrawn his name from the con.
vention. This was found to be en-
tirely untrue, the different delegations
occupied the morning by organizing.
There is little doubt but that the Blaine
men will be able to control the conven.
ton, in which case j. Sloat Fassett, Of
New York, will be temporary chairman.
On the other hand should the Harrison
men have control, the chairman will
likely be Gen. Horace Porter, of New
York, and Depew will probably place
Harrison in nomination.
MINNEAPoLIs, June 6.-For the tenth
time in the history of the United States
the representatives of that great element
of the American people that is known as
m Ratrh1inov1 - hliru f0p
the purpose of placing in the field their
representatives for the presidency and
vice-presidency. 1t was in 1856 in the
Quaker City that the first body Of Repub-
licans came together for this purpose.
Primaries were practically unknown in
those days, and consequently the gather
ing that named as its standard bearer
Fremont and Dayton was little more than
a mass meeting. Chicago was the scene
of the convention of 1860, and which
sent out to the country the magic names
of Lincoln and Hamlin; then came the
Baltimore convention of '64 which named
Lincoln and johnson, that in Chicago
which nominated Grant and Colfax, that
of and
Philadelphia in '72 with Grant '76
Wilson, the Cincinnati gathering of the
which sent Hayes and Wheeler to ion
white house, the memorable convent i
in Chicago when, after fight Of unpre
Cedented bitterness, Garfield and Arthur
were made the nominees of the party,
once more in Chicago in 1884 when the
man from Maine with that gal
ant warrior, John A. Logan, were named
only to 90 down in defeat, and finally
again in Chicago in '8S when the pres
ent incumbent was chosen. To-day the
great northwest, represented by one OF
it's leading cities, city which, although |
young, is already famed for its wealth,
industry, energy and the hospitality of it's
citizens, welcomes with open arms and
oyous hearts the delegates to the tenth
of the Republican party.
The number Of strangers in town can
not be estimated, although people &C.
'ustomed to sizing up big gatherings pun
he total at anywhere from 10000 TO
100000. And yet Minneapolis, with Its
ong avenues and wide roadways and
'pacious sidewalks does not appear to be
'vercrowded in the strict application of
he term Everything is in readiness for
he opening of the convention. The
y ork of decoration has been completed,
md the Flour city looks like bride OF
pring. Every building and every private
esidence in the city from the twelve
tory sky-scrapers to the little wooden
hanty stores across the river, from the
mansions of the milling millionaires to
he humble one and two-story homes of
he working people, all display flags and
uniting, in the aggregate to such an
