The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1892-06-06
.i.e. This Continued .hrousho.s tho

mon from PennsylvaDia. The citizGMS OF
Minneapolis were NOT long in discovering
~ they heard the original refrain by the
enthusiastic men:
I'VE are for the man from Maine;
He will gst there Just ths same;
PennsyIvlnia il here 10 stay;
And stands by Matthew Qsay. ,a
Jerry Rusk for second place;
He will help uB win the race.
Won't they make Il dandy pair2
Fer the presidential chair"
The singing Of the verses AZ tho crowd
marched TO the hotel attracted large
thronRs.
Tho meeting Of Chauncsy M. Dspsw and
Enmons Blaine to. day on tho fsld Of bat
the dining room OF tbs West hotel and was
witnessed by hundreds Of less distinguished
guests. Dcpew could scarcely have been
more embarrassed il some Sensational move
had really been made. He actually STAN
msred and reddeRed ~ he awkwardly OK
quirsd for the welfare Of Blaine senior.
Plat seemed greatly to enjoy tho diseom-
future Of the usually polished railway mag
nate. After passing = few hastv and irrels-
want comm on places Depsw excused himself
and dropped into . vacant chair beside
Murat H&lstead and out OF sight Of hun.
drsds OF curious eyes Isveled from all parts
Of the room.
Senator Peetierow Of South Dakota has
arrived from Washington and is an enthu-
siastio adnoirsr of Blaine. His utterancss
to day created little short of \ sensasion.
II am mot surprised" said he, 'at the
resignation of Blaine. The only thing sim
gulsr is that a man of Blains's disposition
should have so long remained in intim ate
association with such men az Tracy, Miller
and WaEamaker. Harrison and his little
advisories strove to fomsnt discord with
insigniioant Chile. 1t was Blaine who
bore the insults and slanders Of bis asso;
to lend himself to the jingo efforts for the
denomination of their chief. Blaine Was
reported sick during the pendsncy of the
Boring sea negotiations. I am advised
that Blaine wns povsr in better health than
during that incident. Bat the president
with small envy of the same great
secretary, took the negotiations out of his
hands where they lsgitinastely belonged.
Ths secretary turned the ontire matter over
to his excellsnoy and the report was given
out that the soct etary was sick. He was
only sick Of being insulted by his chief and
the kitchen cabinet. Whatever sxcsllsnce
there has been in Hsrrison's dnin istration
10 traceable to Blaine and Rusk. The nis-
takes and weaknesses that Occasioned the
political earthquake of 1880 belong to
Harrison and his errand boys. He is the
1aost signal sxanspls in history of q
class presldsnh have NO doubt as to the
result. The Minneapolis convention will
honor itself by calling Blaine to be the
leader of the Republican hosts in cam
paiRn of victory"
Among the rumors today was one that
Dspsw and Hahcock had q scheme on foot
by which the New York delegation is to be
divided and strength taken from Blaine In
the place where he needs it most. The
rumor is to the effect that they intended to
inSv uvuifh deA IA
would agree to urge Sherman's candidacy.
The rumor 10 not confirmed. It is claimed
the New York delegation will be evenly
divided between Blaine and Harrison, be-
ing thirty-two votes for each, with the re-
nainder of the delegation in doubt. A
story is in circulation at the Harrison head
quarters to ths effect that Blaine would
withdraw from the race tomorrow, but it
10 pronounced canard by Blaine's frisnds.
A telegram was received from Alger to-
night in which no stated hs did not desire
to be considered az antagonistic to the can
didacy of Blaine.
The name most frequently mentioned
among the list Of dark horses is Mckinley.
Alger's name il still tho watehword Of the
Michigan delegation. 1t is certain that tbs
Iowa delegates are looking longinely for
the occasion which vii! justify the presen-
tation of the name of Senator Allison. Sem
ator Cullem, Jeremiah Rusk and Whitelaw
Reid are also freely discL ssed.
Ex-senator Warner Miller, Of New York.
made a statement at midnight declaring
that large majority of the New York dele
cation decidedly favor Blaine. and said he
would support him. This is the first Off
oial announcements from Miller since the
openinR of the campaign, and is regarded
of great significance and likely to influence
the action of the convention. 1t is said it
gives Blaine forty six votes from New
York, leaving not more than twenty-six for
Harrison.
Ex-Attorney General Michener. of Indi-
ana, said tonight that Chauncey M. Dspew
would present the presidents name to the
convention. At the Maine headquarters it
in stated that ne ono has been selected to
present Blaine's name, and it is not known
whether he will be formally placed in NOM
ination or not.
