MryyEAPo1Is, MINI, June 5.-The
sapetlty Of the American Sabbath was
sacred to no man to-day. In the mad
whirlpool OF political parties and affairs
men forgot their Christian faith and
remembered only their political creed;
forgot their Maker and their Savior,
and worshipped only at the shrine Of
their political ideas. At II o'clock
when tho tolling bells called the devout
20 Christian worship, the loooies
OF the leading hotels were filed
with a surging, seething mass OF ex-
cited humanity, and when the minister
in the neighboring church led the open
ing prayer the corridors Of the hotels
were resouudigg with the cheers and
counter-cheers for benjamin Harrison
and James G.. Blaine. All day long this
excitement continued, and as words go
ont over the wires tonight the fierce
competition of political enthusiasm con-
tluues with increasing vigor.
10 has been a day OF Kaleidoscope
essBges. Tho sitpasion has been con-
stantIy shifting, constantly varying,
and the wave OF sentiment that swept
over the aSsemOlage IN one hOur
would be followed by a wave OF reaction
the next, until in the end II was dlthcuIt
indeed 10 sum up the total Of political
sentiment 20 ascertain the measure OF
the ebb and flow, the true drift Of po-
li,Ical sentiment. In one respect the
dav has been one of 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 decentralization OF
last night has given place TO energy,
yipor and resolution tonight. Indeed,
Of the two great factions into which the
Republican party is divided, the admin
istrstion element is as strong in leader
ship, political Sagacity aad organization
as even the experienced leaders who
head the opposition.
THE BLAINE PEOPLE SAY
that an this is the result Of organiza-
MON. that the Harrison managers are
heading the rank and file OF the delega-
tions loyally 20 their leader, but that
when the decisive battle comes the
Blaine enthusiasm will carry all before
it. and the distinguished son OF Maine
will be nominated on the first ballot.
There will be 9O2 delegates in the
convention that Is 10 be called 20 order
by Chairman ClarkSon az - o'clock on
Tuesday next. OF this number the Har-
rison managers officially announce to-
al. mil
votes OF $50, while the Blaine leaders,
thopRh scorning 70 descend 20
details. maintain with lofty conf
dence that their candidate will receive
at least three-fitbs Of the votes OF the
convention snd will be nominated by
acclamation. OF course these counter
claims canuOt possibly both be accurate
and 10 Is all this rather than the usual
sentiment for favOrite sons that gives
rise tonight 20 all the rumOrs o. dark
horses and compromise candidates.
There IS no doubt that the desire for
third candidate for man unwedded
10 and unidentified with either Of the
political factions is growing In the pub
lie mind and against this growing Senti-
ment both factions feel that they must
now compete. The city is
BECOMING WELL CROWDED
tonight and as was expected there is
considerable difficulty Ia obtaining
suitable accommodations. The dele
gates are all provided for.
The UNIQUE spectacle OF lady dele
gates 10 a National convention Is i
matter OF UnceaSing interest to-day 10
the old time politicians OF the RepU0-
lican party. Mrs. q. c. Carlton, one Of
the two women delegates from NyOm-
ing, was the recipient Of numerous
calls to-day from the party leaders,
and received congratulations on the
triumph OF her sex in obtaining poit.
ical recognition in the far West.
Senator Pettigrew OF South Dakota,
has arrived fresh from Washington and
is an enthusiastic admirer OF James b.
Blaine. His public utteranceS to-day
have created little short OF a sensation.
Il am not at all surprised" said be,
Sat the resignation of Mr.. Blaine from
the Harrison cabinet. The only thing
that seems at all singular 70 me, is that
gentleman Of Blaine'S disposition
should have so long remained In close
and intimate association with such men
as Miller and Tracy and Wanamaker.
IL was Mr.. Harrison and his little ad-
yiSers who strove TO foment

who constantly bore the insults and
sl&nders Of his associates and their
FOOLS, because be resOlutely declined to
