MAKING Rome HOWL.

Ane VIII Keep 1t Up Until Dlninc Either
Loses or Wins
Knowining their protestations of alb
solute confidence, however. the Blaineites
started in Monday morning to make
Rome howl, and they propose to keep
up the noise until balloting is reached.
1t is to be Blaine and nothing but
Blaine, so far as brass bands and
badges and pictures and all the other
outside paraphernalia of a political
campaign are concerned. The idea is
to impress the strangers from all parts
of the country who are alrendy here or
viii come in with the idea that nobody
but Blaine is being thought of or talked
about. The badges, pictures, music.
ETC., can be had for the asking, with
out money and without price, Blaine
clubs from number of points in Hi
noise, Ohio. Wisconsin and other states
will bring re-inforcements to.a total of
several Thousand shouters. and every
man viii be expected to use his tongue
for all it are worth.
In one of the big buildings of the city
there are stored away ), 600 white plumes,
as many snowy uniforms, several wagon
loads of flags and banners and pictures
of Blaine, and the outfit for band of
sixty-one pieces. This, according to the
plans, this stock in trade is to be turned
loose ON the streets for the benefit of the
citizens and visitors already ON the
ground and of the new arrivals. The
whole aim and idea is to have such a
gigantic howl, such an internal din and
racket, and to keep it up so long as to
make people believe even against their
own will and sober thought, that no
such man as Benjamin Harrison is be-
ing thought of or talked of, and that
James q. Blaine has everything about
his own way. If it is possible to accom-
plish a stampede by this kind of cam
paigning, the stampede is going to
come.
But the presidents advisers In the
present crisis say they are preparing for
any emergency of this kind. There can
not and will not and shall not, they say,
be any stampede in the convention.
Presidents are not nominated nowadays
by the clamor of disorganized mob and
the buster. of few would-be leaders,
nor is it either possible or probable that
such methods can prevail against the per-
sonal influence, on the wise and prudent
counsels of such men as Depew, McKin-
ley, Mason and New, who have guided
the party to success through many a
storm. Hence, they say, nobody viii be
either scared or deceived, no matter
now great the din or appalling the
noise.
A Point in Harrison's Favor.
A favorite topic of discussion from the
delegates and others is the relative
strength of Mr.. Harrison and Mr.. Blaine
as is shown by the supreme test of cleo
lions in which they We're respectively
ash responsible leaders. A comparison
of the returns shows that Mr.. Harrison
made gains for the party, where Mr..
Blaine made losses Mr.. Blaine was
beaten by Mr.. Cleveland; Mr. Harrison
defeated Cleveland. There is no record
of Mr.. Harrison's which will in any
manner embarrass the party If he is the
nominee.
AlEer stiu in the Race.
The Michigan delegation at its meet
ing Monday morning, decided to present
the name of Mr.. Alger to the convention.
Garrison Rc-Eiccted.
Mr.. Clarisson has been unanimously
reelected to the national committee.
