to Blaine
Convention BulIetins.
MIYNEAPoLIs, June l0.-The conven-
tion was called to order at IL :35 a. M.
After prayer David Martin was an
nounced as the national committeema
from Pennsylvania, vice Quay.
The question then came up as to the
remainder of the majority report of the
committee on credentials, left over laet
night.
Quay, in order to get to balloting at
once, announced that they would not
oppose its adoption. The Blaine men
have decided not to delay the matter,
but push for vote, and it is expected
ballot will be reached this session. The
result. it is said, lies between Harrison
and Mckinley. Ohio favors the latter.
1t Is reliably stated that Idaho and
some other far western. states will turn
to Harrison, if they should drop Blaine.
1t is reliably stated that Blaine's
name will not be formally presented.
His supporters, however, will vote for
him, in order to hold their forces to-
gether in case it becomes necessary to
turn to some compromise candidate
Alger's name will not be presented.
Mckinley will get twenty or twenty-five
from Michigan. Ohio will also go for
Mckinley.
1t is fairly certain that Harrison and
Mckinley will be nominated today. In
dications in favor of Harrison.
Mrs. Helen Foster of the National w.
c. T. U. is now addressing the conven-
ton which is paying great attention to
her, and is applauding her literally.
Wolcott, speaker for Colorado, was fire.
quently interrupted by prolonged cheer
ing at the mention of Blaine's name.
He predicts a great victory in November
for the great uncrowned leader of the
republican party, James G.. Blaine.
(Renewed cheering,l said Blaine has
never been president of our country but,
twill be-" which caused renewal of en-
thusiastic applause. Welcott said he
was proud to cast his vote for man who
always sought everything for his coun-
try and nothing for himself He fin
ished when renewed cheering broke out,
the galleries shouting "Blaine!'
= When Indiana was called and Col.
Dick Thompson took the platform to
present the name Of Harrison, great
cheering followed. Thompson said he
proposed to present the name of man
who does not seek success by detraction
of any other great republican. nomi
nate for President, General Benjamin
Harrison. tGreat cheering.l The
cheering for Harrison is more general
and prolonged than that for Blaine.
Most of the Massachusetts. Connecti-
cut, and Michigan delegates remained
seated. When Michigan was called:
"No candidate presented" was the
answer.
Eustis, of Minnesota, took the plat
form to second Blaine, during which, he
mentioned Mckinley, as 'tthe great
leader and disciple of protection" which
caused great cheering.
AS soon as Eustis could be heard, he
changed the programme, by mentioning
Blaines' name which aroused perfect
storm of applause, and for long time
the only words fit for bulletins were !:
''Cheering and demonstration for
Blaine, 'ladies swinging their parasels
and handkerchiefs, Cheering for Blaine
increasing all over the hail, ;" etc. Dur
ing which, Reed of Maine, was on his
feet waiving the flag of enthusiasm as an
increasing crowd gathered behind him,
cheering at the top of their voices, for a
full hour.
East OregoniaR: Election day was
calm and peaceful in Pendleton, barring
the natural stir on the streets. The
Australian ballot system was very satis-
factory. though trifle slow. The
booths were kept constantly filed, and
4 voters we're compelled to- await their
turn az in a crowded barber shop. Yet
the power of the strikers and
s'heelersD wasiin great measure pre-
vented, and the voter could go to the
polls and deposit his ballot without
molestation. This is one feature of the
law especially commendable.
