ALL EYES TURNING TO M'KINLEY.
A Demand tor His Nomination Made by Del.
eEates frou, Almost Every State.
MINNEApoL1s. June THE Blaine and Har-
rson men are equally confident tonight that
their candidate will win. They say now. as
they have said from tho beginning. that it will
be u one-round fight, and that oil the talk Of a
second ballot or a compromise candidate Is
therefore useless. Tho rank and file Of the Re-
publicans gathered in this pretty city. how
ever. are becoming restless. and it cannot be
denied that on both sides the talk Of
u compromise candidate is becoming very
general. Mckinley is the name that has
swept the town to-day. and us he was
in 1884 and in 1888. SO he is to-day looked
upon as the John Alden of the Repub lican
party. The fate OF this man. who looks SO like
Napoleon. but who is yet so ENTIRELY unlike
him. is to sit in the National Convention Of his
party advocating the claims Of another but
fearing to be chosen himself. He Is calm.
quiet. and diGnifed. and is the man to whom
all the dissatisfied elements look with yearn-
ing that cannot be misunderstood.
There is ring and a fulness in the name Of
Republican masses in general and the ultra
protectionists in particular. From early morn
ing till late at night his name has been upon
the lips of every man in attendance upon this
Convention who doubts the wisdom Of tho
nomination Of either Blaine or Harrison.
Mckinley Is again the lion Of the day. just as
he has been before. Delegations with banners
and brass bands and badges and full OF en-
thusiasm and excitement have marched into
his room near the Ohio headquarters day.
and made the air ring with the sound OF his
name. lie loves adulation from his fellow
Republicans. as every man must to whom
it comes unsought. That he is inscn-
sible to it. it would be useless to
deny. IIe knows that he is again the
object upon which the eyes OF his fellow Re-
publicans turn. and though he endeavors to
bear his honors modestly. he cannot look I'M
conscious Of 1t. In his own peculiar way he
has posed for tho multitude to day. After re-
ceiving the long procession OF delegates that
called upon him and cheered his namo and
endorsed his Republicanism. he rode In an
open carriage to the Convention hall. sit
ting bolt upright in his carriage. his
clean-shaven Napoleonic face. stern set and
immovable as statue. In the Convention
Hall. when there were cheers for him and
cries for his appearance he rose with an old
fashioned courtesy. strange enough In these
days. and bowed to the Convention as stiff
ly and solemnly as his prototype might
have done when he babe farewell to France
to go into exile at historic St Helena. He
bowed to the Convention. but that was all no
would do. He would not make n speech for
the reason that he expects to be made perma-
nent presiding officer. and doesn't want to mar
tho effect OF that address. which he has out
lined in his mind. and which he intends to be
the bugle call Of his party for the coming
campaign.
The demand for the nomination OF Mckinley.
which is being made to- day by delegates from
almost every State with more or less unanim-
ity. is unmistakablc. and it gives alarm to the
friends OF both Harrison and Blaine. and out
shines the enthusiasm for Reed. which was
made manifest when he was called FORTH a pri-
vate citizen. to address tho Convention OF
which he was not 80 much as a delegate.
The feeling that dark horse is needed. and
that Mckinley Is the man to fill tho breach.
seems to be enGendcred altogether by the i'm
preston that the bitterness caused by the
fight between Blaine and Harrison has be-
como so strong that the success OF the
party would be endangered by the nomina-
ton OF either OF them. Tho Harrison
men. as q matter OF course. take more
kindly to the suggestion OF the nomination O.
Mckinley than do the supporters OF Blaine. fol
Mckinley Is a firm friend of President Harrii
son and one Of the tirmcst advocates OF his
nomination. That the Mckinley movement.

of tho Harrison men is shown by the fac
that it is u delegation from a Blaine State that
is most spoken OF in favor OF tho wisdom OF
dropping both the pomnent candidates and

seriously affected with the Mckinley fever. and
