He win support the Maine Statesman.
According to Estimates Blaine aud

According to Esttmotes Blatne and
Harrison Seem TO stand About Even.
MINNEApoLIs, June 6.-Mr. Blaine is in
and Mr.. Alger is out. These two facts and
the additional fact that the contest before
the Republican convention win be one TO
the finish between President Harrison and
Mr.. Blaine alone are the ali absorbing topics
Of discussion here among the delegates.
Following the gigantic sensation caused 10y
Secretary Blaine's resignation comes the
withdrawal Of General Alger from the field
as possibility in any event Senator Stock
bridge announced to a reporter that Gen.
eral Alger's name would not be presented.
Senator Stockbridge quoted General Alger
as saying that he had gone into this contest
honestly and with the sincere intention OF
making the best fight possible He was
friend Of Mr.. Blaine and under the condi-
tions that now existed he would withdraw
from the field and not let his name go be-
fore the convention at all.
General Alger was further quoted as say
ing that he washed his hands of the whole
business, and that he would take no part
whatever in the nomination.
Chris Magee for Harrison.
Ever since the startling news Of Secretary
Blaine's resignation was flashed over the
wires, this new move on fhe political check
erboard was the topic ON ever tongue. IL
made the Blaine men jubilant, but the
friends Of President Harrison We're not by
any means depressed. Chris Magee, the
proprietor of the Pittsburg Times, and the
leader Of the anti-Quay Republicans in
Pennsylvania, has joined the Harrison
forces.
"The majority of the Pennsylvania dele
cation is for Blaine,n said Mr. Magee
"There is undoubtedly a strong Blaine feel
ing in the state. 1 am for Harrison. / do
not see yet how Mr.. Blaine can be q candi-
date Why, he told me only a short time
/ ago that he would decline even an election
because Of the state of his health. There is
no doubt that Mr.. Blaine could have had
the nomination and could have been elected
if he had simply come out three months ago
and said that he was a candidate-if he had
written no letters. But four years ago,
when he had written letter just like his
letter to Clarkson, he wrote another deiln-
ing his position under that letter. That
letter should define his position todayr

To Tie Up Depew.
II is stated that it is the intention to cleo
Chauncey NJ. Depew chairman Of the New
York delegation and then to pass n resolu
tion requesting him not TO present the nnml
Of Harrison. This win place Mr. Depew il
a position Of great embarrassment, but it /
not likely that he can be swerved from hi
intention to work and talk for the renomina
tion Of the president.
How many Of the other New York dele
gates viii act with him is not certainly
known. The latest estimate made by Dele
gate Parkhurst, Of Bath. gives Blaine fift,
votes and Harrison twenty-five. Park
, hurst is a Blaine man.
Land Commissioner Carter is enthutiasti
in his claims. He says; "Mr. Harrison vii

lot is completed but before the roll call i

made by acclamation.,
Mr.. Frank Hatton, editor Of the Wash

Harrison 1856, the remaining being in doubt
! He stated that the 30l votes credited to Nh
Blaine were all from the northern state,
and that if the Harrison line in the sout
remains intact the president would be non
mated.
