Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
MISNEAPoLIs. MINI, June As delegates
began to arrive. in greater numbers it became
evident that there was something more than
noise behind the Blaine movement. There is a
conflict Of opinion among leading southern
delegats. leaders from some states taking en-
tirely different views of the situa-
ton In where delegations have
been regarded as solid for Harrison. A very
prominent southern delegate, who has been re-
garded a Harrison man and who has been
talking for Harrison and whose delegation is
instructed that way, told The Stars CORE
spondcnt this morning that a majority Of the
delegation from his state would vote for Blaine
and that they might adopt the unit rule. thus
giving the whole delegation to the Maine states
man. Three of the delegates were with him at
the time and they agreed that what he said was
correct.
Mr.. Clarksons attention was called this morn
ing to the reported message from Mrs. Blaine
saying that the Secretary would accept.
well, he said, 1.-The message is authentic
have been expecting it. Mr.. Blaine will be nom
mated and will accept. We are sorry to defeat
some OF our good friends, but it must be done.
Speaking of the selection of temporary chair
man, he said:
II am in favor of a colored man."
''Langston?'
Yes: he Is more nearly o great orator than
any other man in the convention, and l think
he would make good temporary chairman. 1t
should be colored man, whether Langston or
some one else
1T is said that the Harrison folks will put I'D
some one against him in the convention even if
the selection is made?"
Il cannot say as to that, but hardly think
they will"
Mr.. Carter says that the Harrison folks will
have majority in the national committee"
Mr.. GARRISON smiled prolonged smile at this
suggestion and then said: The committee meet
at IL o clock; you will see then who has ma
jority and it is not worth while talking about
it."
The Harrison people have very little to say
about Mr.. Blaine's message.
MIR. OBrien, the commissioner of navigation,
Treasury Department, said this morning con-
corning the message: Il knew before we left
Washington that Mrs. Blaine was doing all she
could to induce her husband to accept the
nomination. She succeeded in preventing
him from writing any more letters and
/ expected that she would succeed in getting
him to consent to run if nominated But
don't think that will count. 1 know certain
things which make me feel very confident that
when Mr.. Blaine gets into the hands of other peo-
pie andaway from the influence of his wife he will
change his mind. 1 think he will then find that
his health will not permit him to run. do not
think he wants the nomination"
BLAINE VOTES FROM OHIO.
Ii is claimed that ex-Gov. Foraker can insure
Blaine "a votes from Ohio and that he may have
80. Malone claims 16 Of the "a Virginia votes
for Blaine and the Tennessee delegation are un-
derstood to be breaking away from Harrison.
THE UNIT RULE
With relation to Tennessee II is said that
Blaine will probably have a majority and the
delegation will vote as unit plan is on foot
to have the New York delegation vote as a unit
and it is said that a substantial agreement to
that purpose has been reached
The Harrison folks claim forty-eight of the
New York delegates and are, therefore, it is
said, willing to have the unit rule apply. The
Blaine folks claim sixty-two votes and think
they can get the solid delegation under the
unit rule. The contest is beginning to get hot,
and as the day advances the quiet work of
the Blaine people is beginning to show itself in
the increased amount of Blaine talk in all
quarters.
The Harrison forces are very well organized,
as far as the Indiana people and the official
friends of the President are concerned. and
they maintain an attitude of perfect confidence
Some Of their number make no secret of it that
they are counting on frightening the opposition
by the exhibition of determination to fight
without giving quarter. If Mr.. Blaine's name
Is used in the convention their greatest fear is
together and resist the Establishments Of the
opposition.
II they see any signs of a break in that quarter
there will be rough and tumble cat fight.
They do not believe that Mr.. Blaine will want
to go into such fight as they are ready for
Mr.. Platt and the New York delegation are due
here about IL o'clock
