nomination. 1t was developed at the all
night conference last night that Chairman
Slarkson, Senator Quay and ex-Gov.
foraker wanted Mr.. Blaine put in nomina-
tion and by eX-Gov. Foraker, and that the
Alger men present, and especially ex-Sena-
tor Flatt, opposed this course. The oppo-
nents were surprised TO read in the papers
to-day the statement furnished last night to
the Associated Press by Chairman
CiArkson to the effect that the
blaine conference formally determined to
put MIR. Blaine formally in nomination aud
that ex-Gov. Foraker has been selected to
make the nomination speech. Mr.. Platt,
senator Woloott, Mr.. Hansbrough and
others denied 1t, aud added that 1t did not
seem TO be advisable TO put Mr. Blaine
formally in nomination and that they also
doubted the wisdom Of having ex-Gov.
Foraker make the nominating speech. To-
morrow. they said. the matter would be
considered again. However, both Chair
man Clarkson and Senator Quay stick to
the story that Chairman Clarksoa gave out
and ex>Gov. Foraker spent the afternoon
on Blaine nominating speech which he
confidently expects to deliver and which Is
to be the greatest effort of his life. He con-
hdently expects that 10 will add his name to
that OF Mr.. Blaine on the ticket.
THE CITY WELL CROWDED.
BB the ASSOctdted Press.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, June 5.-The city
is we'll crowded tonight. and. as was ex-
peoted, there is considerable difficulty in
obtaining suitable accommodation. The
delegates. however, are provided FOR. The
unique spectacle Of lady delegates to the
national convention ia a matter OF unoeas-
ing interest to-day TO the old-time politi-
cans Of the Republican party.
One OF the most enthusiastic as we'll as the
noislest delegations arrived this afternoon.
They were stalwart Blaine men
along singing en original
refrain relating TO Jim Blaine, the man
from Maine, and Jerry Rusk. Enthusi-
astic cheering greeted the new arrivals. At.
tempts were made by the Harrison men to
drown out the Blaine shouters from the
keystone state, and consequently wave
after wave OF alternating Blaine and Har-
one and then the other sentiment seeming
to be the prevailing one.
TRAINS COMING IN SECTIONS.
The trains that arrived during the day
were In from two TO four sections, and all
the sections were very heavy. Nearly
every section had from one to half a dozen
delegations, and they represented ali parts
OF the union. Kansas City brought in two
heavy trains during the morning. The
first one OF thirteen cars carried the Indiana,
Alabama and Louisiana delegates. The
first sleeper had In very strong letters the
legend "Evansville, Ind. Indiana solid for
Harrison" The second section OF the same
road brought delegates from further west.
In the matter OF the sentiment OF the state
delegations there are many conflicting
opinions.
ALGER's POSITION.
The Michigan people are undecided as yet,
apparently, as to whether Gen. Alger will
or win not come before the convention.
Some OF his intimate friends intimate that
In view Of the fact that hs is @ strong Blaine
man himsalf, he may not allow bis name to
come up for confederation, but all that is
mere conjecture 1t is stated by Col. Atkln-
son OF Detroit that between President Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine. the latter will
have all but four of the delegation. On
the other hand other prominent
Michiganders say Gen. Alger will have the
support of the delegation first. last and all
time. James II. Stone, another prominent
Michigander says that Michigan will stick
by Gen. Alger.
BLAINE WEAK IN OHIO.
AS TO Ohio. ex-Gov. Foraker and other
strong Blaine men claim only one-half, or a
hare majority of the delegation for Mr..
Blaine. ~ is asserted on the other side that
votes and possibly not more than thirteen
out Of the Ohio delegation.
New York. according to the figures OF
ex-senator Platt has So out of 72 delegates
ready TO vote and work for Mr.. Blaine, but
this is doubted by the Harrison managers
who claim majority Of the delegation.
IOWA wAvERING.
Iowa met as delegation yesterday after
ternoon at q late hour. The delegation was
polled during the afternoon meeting and all
but thres of the delegation were for Presi-
dent Harrison. To-day, however, the Iowa
delegation Is weakening In its Harrison
feeling. Eight delegates are now said to be
sure for Mr. Blaine, and probably more.
prominent delegate said to-day that the
dark horse" feeling was growing In that
delegation and that the delegates were de-
batting between Senators Sherman and
Allison.
NO TIME FOR CHURCH.
At II O'Clock this morning when tolling
bells called the devout to Christian worship
the lobbies of the leading hotels were filed
with a surging, seething. excited mass Of
humanity, and when the minister in a
neighboring church led the opening prayer
the corridors Of the hotels were resounding
with cheers and counter cheers for Benjamin
Harrison and James q. Blaine. All day
long this excitement continued, and
as these words go out over the
wires tonight the fierce political en- tb usiasm
continues with increasing vigor. 1t has
been day of kaleidoscope changes. The
situation has been constantly shifting, con-
stantly varying, and the wave ofssentiment
that swept over the assemblage in one hour
would be followed by wave of reaction
the next until In the end 1t was difficulE to
sum up the total Of tho political sentiment;
TO ascertain ths measure OF the ebb aud
flow; the true drift OF political sentiment.
HARRIsoN's FORCES RALLY.
In on respect the day has been a surprise,
and the Significance of that surprise can
only be weighed by the events of the
future. The Harrison leaders have rallied
their forces, and the Generalization OF last
night has given place 70 energy, vigor and
resolution tonight. Indeed, Of the two
great factions into which the Republican
party is divided, the administration ele-
mont is as strong in leadership, polit-
ical sagacity and organization as even
the experienced leaders who head the
opposition. All this has been a surprise for
those who have kept aloof from both fac
tions fully eXpectant that the wave of
Blaine sentiment that swept over the land
yesterday afternoon would be irresistible in
its force, and that to-day would find gath
cred IN its embHace all the scattered unin-
structed delegates Of the Republican party.
But such has not been the case;
indeed TO close observer 1t is
very apparent that the Harrison
forces are as strong to-day as they were
