lican voters of Kansas that Mr.. Blaine
was out of the way then surely they
would be for the president. Mr.. Harri-
son has a very great hold, not only
on the Republicans, but all classes OF
the country. | think his administration
is one of unmistakable excellence.
1t is not the vote of the California dele
CATION that should be considered in COM
Ing to a conclusion. They want to knew
who can command the most strength in
the states in which the real battle is 10
be fought. Without knowing the pref
erence of all the delegates. l; would
surprise me if MIR. Harrison should re-
ceiye less than One-haif of the delega-
tiou when the time comes to announce
their vote.
"The resignation of Mr.. Blaine. as |
understand it. had the effect of bringing
to Mr.. Harrison's support three Of the
delegates from Massachusetts,, who,
up to that time, were said
to favor the nomination Of Mr..
Blaine. The friends of the presi-
dent have no difficulty in securing the
concession from all delegates that his
merits as public official have a larger
quantity of availability than any presi-
dent contributed TO the party for twenty
wears. They do not claim that he is a
good fellow, in the sense of calling
everybody by his first name, but they
say that he has not given the party any
thing i'm his course to defend, and that
men who care about success i'll their
respective states, feel that his nomina-
ton would strengthen in their local
contests more than that of any other
candidate named.

The arrival of Maj Mckinley was a
source of considerable satisfaction to
the other leaders of the presidents
cause, who have been awaiting his ad-
vice and counsel with some degree of
impatlence, and who expect to profit by
his personal popularity and influence
and his wide acquaintance among the
delegates. II am for HARRISON" said
Gov. Mckinley. land l think he will be
nominated. Mr.. Blaine's resignation
has placed him in the field as candi
date. / think it will strengthen rather
than weaken Harrison's chances.
Blaine has lost that attractiyeness
which accompanies uncertainty. 1
think his resignation at this time
was mistake. l think it has hurt him
with the delegates and with the people.
We could feel the effect of it as we
came through the country. The an
nOnncement would daZe a big crowd
such as you have here, but where one
man heard it he had an opportunity to
think quietly, and l believe the general
judgment of the people is that MIR.
Blaine has made mistake"
Gov. Mckinley said he did not know
enough 10 form a judgment of Harri-
sons strength. He did not know how
the Ohio delegation was divided. Con-
cerning the permanent chairmanship
he said: II am not a candidate for the
place. If should be asked to serve,
should do So"
The reporter asked the governor if
there was any possibility that his name
would come before the convention.
II am not i'll any sense a candidate"
he said. Il will not even discuss it.
l take it that only two names are before
the convention. and that the nOn,ina-
ton will he made OH the first ballot"
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-07

is assured on the first ballot. On the
other hand, John G. New, the chief
general of the administration forces,
insists that 500 votes are already pledged
for Harrison, or more than forty more
than is necessary to choice. The
friends of Alger claim for their fay0rite
a support OF three score, or sufficient
assuming the friends OF the president
and Mr.. Blaine are each but trifie in
error regarding their respective
strength to give the Michigan candidate
the balance of power. 1t is known that
one or two votes will be cast for Sher-
man, and there may De a few votes
scattered among the others.
The Blaine men have practically had
things their own way today. 1t has
been day of Blaine music and Blaine
hurrah, of wavings of plumes inuumer-
able, blaine, Blaine, James q. Blaine"
professions and pyrotechnics that were
made SO familiar in the memorable
campaign of eight years ago. The
friends of the president were willing to
lie low, to be neither seen nor heard,
and the Blaine men have full and un-
limited credit for the conventions, but
they do not cOncede that tonight their
opponents are a single delegate stronger
than they were tWenty-fOur hours ago,
while they are further inclined to assert
that the tactics of the day have in
reality redOanded to their own adYan-
tage.

Senator Stock bridge, Congressman Bur-
rows, John T. Rich. Republican candi-

All of the speakers advocated keep

thought that Gen. Alger's chances were
as good as those of any one else. After

up this demonstration for half all hour.
and then dispersed. They have ar
ranged to make another demonstration
of similar character tomorrow morn
ing.
The Alger managers are tonight
claiming siXtv votes for their candidate,
maintaining that in addition to the solid
support of Michigan he will receive
many scattering votes from the West
and South. In the remote event of
Alger's withdrawal, however, the Blaine
people maintain that their candidate
will receive every vote of the Michigan
delegation except two, and the Harrison
managers concede that the great ma
jority of the delegates of the Wolverine
state would probably 90 to Mr.. Blaine.

CHAOTIC GUESSING.
PIatt Says Figures Are Not Worth
Anything.

RlaCC says t1&ufcS are NOI w OFth
Anything.
Ex-senator Platt said tonight that he
had no figures for publication. 1--WE
are confident of Blaine's nomination by
a round majority on the first ballot" he
continued, "but further than that we
do not care to state what we know as to
the strengths of the two. We are a
little chaotic yet anyhow, and especl-
ally as far as the Southern delegations
are concerned, and no man can give
figures that will have sufficient accuracy
to be valuable. We have made gains OF
considerable Importance today. and the
situation tonight is entirely satisfactory
to the friends of Blaine"
A careful canvas made by Mr.. Harri-
sons people this evening show they can
lose ffty Southern votes and still be
nominated on the first ballot.
A noticeable fact, which deserves
consideration, is this: That at mid
night, after all the varying events of
the dav, after receiving numerous dele
cations, after comparing of claims or
Statements on both sides, the old hands
of both factionS-veteran party leaders,
who have been made familiar by long
experiences with the tricks and man
ners of such political gatherings as this.
are almost unit that the nomination
will be made on either the first or sec
cond ballot. But if more than one or
two ballots are held without result, then
these veterans believe the springing of
a thild candidate is inevitable.
Each faction keeps its mathematician,
and is prepared at all times to convince
doubling delegates of the certainty of
the success of each candidate. The high
est claim for Harrison is 54l votes out of
a total of 9O2. Another conservative
estimate gives Blaine 459. These are
the figures exhibited as conservative,
but there is an uncertainty about some
of the states. Thus the Harrison man
ayers claim twenty-nine in Ohio and
allow only seventeen for Blaine. The
vote of Illinois is as heretofore given,
50 to l6. Missouri stands Harrison, Is;
Blaine, 16, which is two more than set
down in the Blaine table above.
