MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June 1O.-The
toppling over of the presidential
boom had strange parallel today in
the wreck of the 100 foot high won
derful design in barrels near the main
entrance of the convention hail which
was dashed to pieces and ruined hope
lessly by a small cyclone or something
very like it. This with the fact that
today is Friday led to all sorts of
hoodoo talk. AS delegates began to
gather the results of the long night
session was plainly visible in the
faces which were haggard and worn.
Mckinley, prompt to the minute,

and vigorous for the great battle
promised in the days proceedings.
The clergyman selected to deliver

the East as to what is wanted. Or
this occasion THERE'S remarkable diff
ference between the genuine Republic

publicans of the East as to who il
needed, and his name is Blaine"
