CHICAGO, June 1.-Chnirman Clarkson, OF
the national republican committee. before
leaving for Minneapolis tonight said !:
''TLs results Of the conventions ia the diff
9erent states was to give the president 900
instructed votes. This left over 600 unin-
strueted and unpledaed delegates. In my
opinion the reason for this action in the
north is thu still generally cherished party
hope that Blaine might be secured as a can
didate. The question now to be settled by
better entitled to two tsrms than
Blaine is to one. The movements toward
Blaine ia that Of she masses. have an
equally kind feeling for both. vns prefer
some other man than either. ifnt it IL not
a question OF personal prsferenss this year,
but party necessity. We shall need our
strongest man to win. 1t seems to be the
in doubtful states that Blaine is the strong
est leader in the party. 1t 10 going to be
good natursd contest, and I hope to see
whoever shall be chosen selected by accla-
nation.
''The talk that there is any disrespeot for
President Harrison is unfounded. The
sentiment of New York is overwhelmingly
Illinois and the northwest. While in the
country west of the Mississippi river there
is almost an unanimous demand for Blaine
il he can be had.
'As to the temporary chairman of the
convention, I think there are more members
who would support Reed than any other
man. As an expression Of my own choice,
] think we ought to have q colored repub-
llcan either as temporary or permanent
chairman"

SILVER LAID ASIDE.

Tho Senate VIII not Vote Until After the
Chicago Convention.
WASHINGTON. June 1.-The silver ques-
tion came up UNEXPECTEDLY this afternoon
in the senate in connection with the bill to
regulate the manner in which property
shall be sold under United States courts.
Teller offered an amendment requiring legal
tender money to be received in payment Of
judgments. Sherman held that that would
involve violation Of specific contracts re-
quiring gold payments. and objected to
consideration of the bill. The yeas and
nays were called on consideration and re-
suited, yeas twenty- five, nays twelve. No
quorum. Hill and Hunton. OF Virginia,
the new senator, voted in the affirmative.
Call showed the inpossibility of securing q
quorum without breaking pairs, SO the bill
passed over without prejudice, and the een-
ate resumed consideration Of the calendar.
On motion of Aldricb, and without q
single dissent from either side, the cham
Der decided thab no vote should be taken
on the free coinage bill until after June IA,
and in all probability there will not be one
until after the Chicago convention is fin
ished. This agreement was arrived at after
Sherman closed his two days argument
against the bill, which his last words
characterized as 'frightful demon to be
resisted and opposed"
Stewart took the floor to reply to Sher-
man. but yielded to motion to adjourn.

A SUGGESTIVE SPECTACLE.
Republican Bosses Flirting With the
Ghost of Cesar.


Ghost of Caesar.
CHICAGO, June 1.-Chauncey M. Depew
arrived tonight. Speaking of the possi-
bility of Blaine being candidate, he said
Harrison is almost certain to be the nomi-
nee Of the convention. but in case Blaine is
nominated and should refuse then Harri-
son could not be a candidate for an office
declined by the chief officer of
his cabinet. The decentralization of
such an event would spread all over the
country and the party be defeated before
the campaign began. The inevitable and
irresistible logic of tho situation is the
nomination of Harrison. The only chance
to beat Harrison il that the convention
should vote for half dozen favorite sons
and prevent a choice until his opponents
could concentrate on somebody. The
supreme effort to induce Blaine to
bscome candidate has practically retired
everybody but him, 80 that unless Blaine
allows his name to be presented Harrison
will be nominated by the potential force Of
his record aud friends. and by default of
the defendant.
He said nothing could be more sugRes-
tive of the difficulties of the situation to
the opponents of Har ison than the specta-
Gle of practical politicians like Platt, Quay,
Clsrkson and others flirting with the ghost
OF Caesar and the coffin of Mahomet.

President

But Harrison Can Never Again BE Elected
President
HURON S. D., June IA correspondent
had the pleasure Of q lengthy chat with Col.
Robert Lowry, one of tho most prominent
and best posted republicans in the north
west, a man who enjoys the distinction of
being the father of the republican party in
the west, and who has held numet ous fed
eral positions in Iowa and also in South
Dakota. Referring to political matters and
the renomination Of President Harrison,
the gentleman said:
"Mr. Harrison. fattered by his cabinet
Office holders and Office hunters, believes ho
will receive the nomination at Minneapolis
In my opinion he stands no more show of
being reelected president than of being
struck by lightning. From the day of his
Inauguration until the present time he has
labored earnestly. yet quietly, to bring
about his denomination. He has succeeded
BY the aid Of federal Office holders in re-
ceiving the instruction for him of all the
delegates from southern democratic states,
and should he be renomlnated it will be by
such delegates-stxtes shat have never cast
an electoral vote for a republican president.
II he believes he can force his nomination
trnry to their wishea. and receive no rebuke.
he will be convinced to the contrary in
November. There has been no president
reelected since the DAYS of Gen. Jackson
in 1882. except Abraham Lincoln and Gen.
Grant. and the rebellion was the cause of
theif Reelection. Notwithstanding their
popularity there was much opposition to
thom. The people are opposed to the re-
election of president; they much prefer
enc tenn Of six years to two terms Of four
years.
'It 10 wsll known that Mr.. Blaine is not
q presidential candidate. and although it is
clearly manifest all over tho union that he
is tho almost unanimous choice of the re-
publican party, ne should be willing. under
the circumstances. to make some sacrifices
and accept the nomination. Mr.. Blaine. as
a public man. has no right to say no unless
his health actually demands it, and from
reliable information that is not likely to be
the case. Let the Minneapolis convention
ignore his letter to Mr.. ClHrkson, nominate
him bv acclanation. and give him Lincoln
or Rusk ~ running mate and the repub-
lican party will win in tho coming cam
paign."
