MINNEAPoLrs, June S.-The presiden-
tial situation took significant turn to-
night. An extended conference, lasting
nearly three hours, was held by the
Blaine leaders in the Colorado head
quarters, and nearly all the chief poll
ticians from the various state delega-
tions were summoned into the presence
Of the committee. At the meeting there
was discussed at great length the avail
ability OF taking measures TO bring one
or more dark horses into the field in
order to draw off the Harrison vote and
thereby effect the decentralization of his
forces, and result ultimately in nomi-
mating Blaine or one OF the dark horses.
Several Harrison delegates from Iowa
were invited into the conference, and
the suggestion was delicately con-
veyed to them that if the entire
vote of the state Of Iowa were cast
solidly for Allison, he would receive the
,tvote of Delaware and possibly other
,ssscattering votes. The Iowa delegation,
however, did not receive the suggestion
with enthusiasm. and appeared disposed
to abide fully by the result of the after
moons conference, wherein it was de-
cided that Allison should not be brought
out until after the first ballot, if it
should fail to effect nomination.
Certain Mckinley men of the Ohio
delegation were also summoned and the
intimation conveyed to them that per-
haps the Blaine people might look
favorably upon the candidacy OF McKin-
ley, If the Ohio Harrison delegates would
give him (McKinley) their loyal support
on the opening ballot. This time the
suggestion was received with willing
ness, but no arrangement was perfected,
as one or two OF the gentlemen sum-
moned werS unable to speak authorita-
tivelv, for their Harrison colleagues Of
the Ohio delegation.
Harrison delegates Of several other
states were also interrogated as to their
disposition to furnish dark horse, but
the conference finally came to close
without definite agreement.
At it's conclusion it was noticeable
that the Mckinley boom had in some
mysterious way received an impetus, as
the governors eligibility was freely dis.
cussed in all quarters.
At '1:30 this (Thursday) morning
Ex-Governor Foraker was hastily sum-
moned to the Colorado headq uarters,
Immediately after the adjournment Of
the committee on resolutions, and is in
conference with the anti-admin istration
leaders.
I Among the wild rumors afloat is one
that, in the event of the probable defeat
of Blaine, compromise candidate in
the person Of Mckinley, Allison or
Sherman is to be sprung on first ballot.

Alice Packard, a l6 year-old white girl

Mr.. Spahr. who has been following the
campaign in Louisiana, speaking with ref
erence to Morris letter and the present
condition of affairs, a Unless the
governor and legislature, hostile to the
lottery are elected the business of the
lottery company cannot possibly be
brought to an end before Jan. |, 1895,
and would then probably be allowed to
continue without authorization in the con-
stitutlon. With the state machinery in
its hands the lottery might easily call a
constitutional convention and secure a re-
charter without submitting the PROPOSE
ton to the people.
Many OF the a%nti-lottery people believe
Morris himself, who Is a millionaire with
influential social connections in New York
and Boston. would gladly give up the
fight and retire from the lottery business
with the fifteen or twenty millions he is
reported to have accumulated, but 1t
would only be too easy for him to dispose
of his interest to other men.
In spite of the postal law, fifteen or
twenty million dollars a year comes to the
lottery company from other states. Those
who have been fighting the battle against
the lottery, therefore, appeal to friends In
other states to help them in the struggle.
The %anti-lottery people of Louisiana have
already contributed beyond their means
in carrying on the campaign. The hardest
part of the fight is just ahead.
