Mr.. Foraker smiled and shook his head as
he gazed down on the surging mob In the
rotunda of the hotel. Mr.. Fassett was
nowhere TO be seen. On the face of Senator

he was cool aud unruiiled. Manifestly de-

A HARRISON CONFERENCE.
The Harrison managers, Gen. John @.
New, Senator Hiscock r. r. Shiel and
others soon after went into conference be-
| hind closed doors. The'Blaine leaders seem
to have passed the stage OF secret confer
ences. The whole public is ia their conf
dence The Harrison delegates are silent
and undoubtedly a little dismayed. They
| accept the situation sullenly and are evi-
dently preparing for a fierce fight. The
| Blaine managers now say that MIR. Blaine
will be formally placed in nomination. Ex4
| Gov. Foraker will probably nominate him,
and it is rumored that Senator Wolcott Of
Colorado will second the nomination on be-
half Of the silver state.
IL is "Blaine, Blaine, he is the man to
win, )" on every hand, and all the enthusiasm
Is truly on the side of the magnetic leader.
A casual observer, to drop into Minneapolis
at this time, would suppose there was only
one candidate in the field. and that his name
was J. @. Blaine.
BLAINE's NAME ON EVERY LIP
The name Of Blaine is on every lip to-
night. 10 Is shouted in the lobbies. IL is
| whispered In the conferences of darkened
rooms, and 1t is sung In rhymes beneath
electric lights by exultant admirers as they
parade the streets Of the convention city.
The magic Of his name has kindled the
latent enthusiasm of the northwest into a
| blaze OF glory. Everywhere it is "Baine,
Bla'ce, James q. Blaine" The distIn-
guishJd statesman from Maine was always
popular In the northwest, and it needed but
a spark to ignite the flame. Now that he
has resigned from the cabinet and thrown
| down the gauntlet TO the administration
for this is his action interpreted here-aIl
his admirers, who were lowering between
their respect for President Harri-
son and their uncertainty as to
the candidacy of Mr.. Blaine have come out
In open advocacy OF the great republican
leader and joined the boomers until their
| ranks have become an army. No man as.
serts Tonight that Mr.. Blaine will decline
| the nomination, not even the very leaders
OF President Harrison. On every band it is
accepted that he Is willing, il not an
earnest candidate for the presidency and
the veil of pretense on all sides has been
| thrown TO the winds. IL Is Blaine against
| Harrison aud all the political weapons Of
| factional warfare have been ushered to
the contest. The Harrison people
openly accuse Mr.. Blaine of perHdy,
OF bad faith and of treachery TO the admin
istration. The Blaine leaders reply that
Mr. Blaine owed nothing to the adminis-
| tration; that the glory of his name and
deeds but added TO the luster of the cabs
net and that the administration which he
had honored could have no possible mort
gage on his political future And SO the
| fight goes bravely on, the mists have raised
and the line OF battle is now sharply drawn.
CAME LIKE A CYCLONE.
MINNEAPOLIS, June a. II P. M.-The res
| ignatlon OF Mr.. Blaine struck Minneapolis
like typical western cyclone. Nobody
was prepared for 1t and everybody was
glad when 1t was over. or course there
were various degrees of joyousness
and the Blaine people naturally de-
rived more hilarity from the an
nounoement than the other side. The
| first information OF Mr.. Blaine's
resignation came through an Associated
| Press bulletin and the news was simutaue-
ously communicated to the various heads
quarters. The effect was indescribnble. At
| first everybody doubted it-the Blaine
people as well as the Harrison leaders-thus
showing how little the former were in the
confidence OF the secretary ia his con-
templated action. 1t was. indeed. diplo-
matte secret and its disclosure
was coup detat. When as
surance was officially given by the
| Associated Press that the distinguished Sec
retary of State had actually left the cabinet
| and his resignation had been accepted, the
| Blaine men gave one wild, hilarious hur-
rah, II acted like an interrogation point.
| A thousand faces turned upward from the
hotel lobby and nearly as many voices in

Committeeman Conger. and everybody
knew he had spoken the truth.
GREETED WITH CHEER.
No one knew exactly why, but when a
| wild eyed man from Colorado yelled That's
| business three cheers for Blaine r'the cheers
were given with such hearty will that ID
amounted almost TO an ovation to the alb
sent statesman. Almost instantly
the news was communicated to
the outside world and like wild
fire the Blaine enthusiasm spread through
out the city. In the meantime the enthusi-
asm in the hotels was growing with every
minute. The Blaine leaders seemed to
congregate by magic on the parlor floor,
and as they exchanged Fluctuations the
crowd below suddenly concluded that the
exigencies Of the occasion demanded
speech. or course the eloquence of ex-Gov.
Foraker naturally suggested itself,
and his was the name that nat
urally arose from every lip. The
ex-governor heard the demands for
| his presence, but he only looked on the
crowd below and bowed and shook his head.
There was a smile on his face, though, and
| it was a smile of exultation. The counte-
nances Of Chairman Clarkson and Senator
| Fassett beamed with pleasure, aud even the
| immovable Quay was manitestly exutant.
