made in the dispatches last night about the
temporary chairmanship. He said New Yorh
would put the name of J. Sloat Fassett for tenn
perary chairman. The Harrison men would
present the name of Gen. Horace Porter.
GEN. ALoER DENIES THAT HE Is OUT.
The positive denial by Gen. Alger of the re-
port that he had withdrawn from the contest
has had stimulating effect upon the Harrison
people, as it is generally understood much il
not all Of the Alger following will go for Blaine
when the Michigan candidate is out Of the field.
In reality there is no change in the situation
that Gen. Alger occupies. He has always been
understood to be very friendly to Blaine. and
1t has been repeatedly announced by his man.
ayers that Ayers candidacy must not be con-
sidered as antagonistic to the great Blaine
| movement.
Gen. Alger has telegraphed the leaders of the
Michigan delegation. Congressman Burrows.
! Col. Dufield and Senator Stockbridge that he
| leaves his interests in the hands of his friends
and desires them to act at all times as the ext
| gencies OF the situation NAV warrant.
This is generally understood and is in fact
conceded by most Of the Michigan delegation
| to mean that if the vote of Michigan is needed
| to nominate Blaine on the first ballot Alger is
out of the race. Should the convention. how
ever. show any inclination to drop both the con-
Alyer is very earnestly and emphatically q can
didate.
THE MKINLEY MOVEMENT.
From the ranks of the great multitude OF un-
committed and harmony-seeking republicans
there has suddenly sprung up a strong move
ment in favor of Mckinley as a compromise
candidate. In Ohio alone does this movement
fail to evoke the enthusiasm that is requisite to
success. The Foraker and Sherman factional
contests have long divided the republicans of
that state, and the fact that Mckinley has re-
lRRrnfI v- haa g
element has provoked unfeigned hostility from
certain OF the Foraker delegates. Foraker
| states his belief that Sherman could receive the
solid support of Ohio SHOULD the other states
turn to the buckeye delegation for candidate
but he has made no public declaration as to the
availability of Mckinley.
Should Sherman be elevated to the presi-
dency the Foraker men would almost certainly
triumph IN the election of their chief to the
Senate US his successor, while no special benefit
would result from the elevation Of Mckinley
Despite the GOODNESS with which the McKin-
ley movement is received by certain Ohio dele
gates. there is no doubt that the prevailing
sentiment today is for the buckeye governor if
the acrimony of the contest should demand a
compromise candidate to save the party.
CLAIMS OF THE CoLoRED MEN.
1t has been many years since a republican
national convention contained 30 many colored
delegates as will be seated in the convention
hall tomorrow noon As q preliminary a mass
meeting of colored delegates and noiit;cians
has been held Mt which the foIlowina rosoiut;on

luis expected that the convention proceedings
OF tomorrow will be very uneventful SO far as
their political significance is concerned unless
there should be a contest over the temporary
chairmanahip. which now appears to he barely
possible. In the eagerness for a test Of strength
majority and minority reports NAV be made nv
the national committee on recommendation for
Temporary chairman. and in that event there
would be a decisive test of strength between the
Blaine and Harrison factions.
