BIG GUNS MOVING.
Tom Reed Will Be Gar Again for
a Little While,

CHICAGO. June 1.-The members of
the executive committee left for Mil
waukee this afternoon ON a special
train. Tonight the committee will be
banqueted by Henry c. Payne. Tomor-
row the trip to Minneapolis will be re-
sumed. The members of the committee
who left include Gen. Clarkson, Col. a.,
B. Conger. j. Sloat Fassett; Ii. r. s.
Hyde. of Massachusetts; Samuel FeS-
senden, of Connecticut; Harry Swords,
Sergeant-at-armS. James +. Burke, pres
ident of the College League of Repub-
licans. also accompanied the party. The
committee held no regular meeting this
morning, but there was general dis
cuSSion on the appointment of tenn
pOrary chairman of the conven-
ton. The latest gossip was that
the honor would fail on Tom
Reed, j. Sloat Fassett or ex-senator
John j. Ingalls,, of Kansas, with the
chances in favor of the Maine man. Col.
Conger said that Mr.. Reed had many
friends on the committee. The vote,
however, will not be takea until Satur-
day, when the entire committee will
meet in Minneapolis.
Harrison boomers were not scarce by
any means. One of them was l.. G.
Robinson. of Cincinnati, the right-hand
man of Louis FleischmaIIn, the million
aire yeast manufacturer, who is dele
gate from Cincinnati. Mr.. Robinson
says the majority of the Ohio delegat
are Harrison men. Gov. Mckinley will
also pass through Chicago at midnight
Sunday, and. according 10 Mr.. Robin
son, is for Harrison.
James E. Burke, president of the Col
lege Leagne of Republican Clubs, before
leaving for Minneapolis this afternoon,
said: "Nine-tenth of the Republican
students in the great colleges of the
country are for Blaine" Mr.. Burke and
the executive committee of the league
will open headquarters at Minneapolis
and work to the last ballot for the Maine
man.

CLARKsoN CoNCILAToRY.
He Realizes That a Victory Is Very
Improbable.


CHICAGO, June 1.-Mr. Clarkson,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, just before leaving for Min
neapolis today. said the result of the
conventions in the different states
was to give the president some
29O instructed votes. This left over
600 uninstructed and unpledged men.
In my opinion, the reason the state con-
ventionS in the North did not instruct
for any candidate was the still generally
cherished party hope that Mr. Blaine
might be secured as candidate. The
question with four-ffths of the party is
whether Mr.. Harrison is better entitled
to two terms of the presidency than
Mr.. Blaine is to one. The movement
towards Blaine is that of the masses.
"For myself, have equally kind feel
ing for both, and yet, if had my own
personal choice. i would prefer some
question of personal preference this
year, but of party necessity. We are
going to have an intensely hard fight, at
best, and we shall need our strongest
man to win. 1t seems to be the opinion
of strong majority of the Repub-
licans in all the doubtful states
that Blaine is the strongest leader
the Republican party has, and
while it has shown its loyalty to and
admiration tor Gen. Harrison in electing
him, it still has the reserved right to
overrule either the personal wishes of
Blaine or the personal ambition of
Harrison.
"What is to be said as to the question
of honor of Mr.. Blaine in taking the
nomination."
"The answer is that any man can ac-
cept with honor anything which
national Republican convention will
offer him."
"Wili there be another letter from
Blaine?"
"If there is, l am inclined to think it
will be letter of acceptance"

The Growth of Twenty Years He
Pronounces Simply Wonderful.
AS has ali along been predicted by the
GLOBE, the thousands who will visit
Minneapolis during the convention Will
be taken care of in frSt-class shape.
Many of the newspaper men who came
in yesterday morning were surprised at
what they saw, as well as gratiied at
the preparations made for entertaining
them. Even. Cath" George Alfred
Townsend, who keeps track of what is
going on in all parts of the country as
few men do, was astounded at
what he saw in Minneapolis and
ST. Paul. The many magnificent build
ingS and the evidences OF growth and
prosperity he saw for the first time
changed his ideas of the Northwest.
40 see city like this" he said. as
in the New York Life building, lis
worth trip to Kamschatka to attend
political convention. 1t has been
twenty years since l visited Minneap-
oils, and the change is simply wonder
full. l understand that there are no less
than six independent railway lines to
Chicago, and they are great lines, too,
if they are all like the one that brought
me here from Chicago. The contrast,
by the way, between this city and Chi
cago is very great, and much to the ad-
vantage of Minneapolis"
The views of Gath are much the same
as those of all other correspondents, as
well as the delegates and visitors who
are in the Northwest for the first time
in their lives.

DIR. DEPE WIS REVIEW.
"Antis" Flirting With a Ghost and
a Coffin,

CHICAGO, Sune 1.-Chauncey M. De-
pew tonight SAID the situation was diff
ferent to all previous conventions III
that there were no favorite sons to be
sacrificed. All of them had been sacri-
feed in their own states. The
only chance, in his judgment, of
Harrison being defeated was
that the convention should vote
half a dozen different people and
so prevent choice until the opposition
to the president had chance to con-
centrate, but the supreme effort to in
duce Blaine to become a candidate had
practically retired all other candidates;
so unless Blaine allowed his name to be
used Harrison would be the nominee,
both by the potential force of his rec
ord, of his friends and by the default of
opposition.
1t is remarkable, he said, that so
shrewd. so powerful combination of
political managers as the combination
against the president should have staked
their all upon all interrOgative. If
Blaine is candidate they have,
of course. the potential influence of
a great name, great fame, an
universal popularity. But if Blaine
failed to say that he is in the race they
would be like the last of the Caesars, or
like Mahomet'S coffin, suspended in the
air. Nothing could be more suggestive
of the difficulties of the situation to the
opponents of Gen. Harrison than the
spectacle of such able and practical
politicians as his friends Quay, Clark
son, Platt and Foraker flirting with the
ghost of Caesar and the coffin of Ma
hOinet.
He Oepew) had been friend of
Blaine when Conkling dominated in
New York, as against Grant, Garfield
and Hayes, and had there been anv in
tention on the part of Blaine to become
a candidate before the coming conven-
ton he thought that he (Depew) would
have been entitled to receive it. Had
he received it. it was likely that he
would have gone with the Blaine col
umn. No such intimatiOn having been
received, it must be taken tor granted
that Blaine's letter to Chairman Clark
son, and through the letter to the party
was both official and final.
He had been brought up in religion
that believed in sticking to the gospel
text and taking no stock in commentary.
The fellows that now advocated
Btaine'S nomination with so much en-
who had always been
hostile to the Blaine scripture-we de-
pending upon the commentator. They
were told that the convention was to be
stampeded. How would 1t meet? I'm
der great espOnsibilitles; the delegates
would feel and know that the Dem
ocracy would start out with fifteen
states, and that it would take but four
St. Paul daily globe., 1892-06-02

more, and these the so-called doubtful
states, to bring them success.
The situation did not permit of senti-
ment or theory or of exercise of per
sonal vindicIiveness. The convention
could not afford TO trifie with so grave
situation. If the convention should
nominate Blaine and he should decline,
of course Gen. Harrison could not be a
candidate for the position that the chief
officer of his cabinet had rejected, and
the decentralization of such an event
spread all over the country would de-
feat the Republican party even before
the canvass had begun. Such was the
responsibility that rested on Blaine.
My prediction is that the country will
be astonished at the serene atmospheric
conditions prevalent at the convention;
that on Thursday morning | will make
speech advocating the nomination of
President Harrison, in the afternoon
join in the general hoop la at the nomi-
nation of Gen. Harrison by acclamatiOn:
and on Friday give truthful diagnosis
of the situation and all accurate pro-
phoSy of the election.

A DAKOTA BLAINIAC.
Senator Hansbrough Banking on
the Knight

CHICAGO, June L. Senator H. S.
Hansbrough, of North Dakota, came in
from Washington today, captured big
handful of kilograms at the hotel
counter and at once went to Mr.. Clark
sons room. Mr.. Hansbrough's corre-
spondents wired him that of the six un-
instructed delegates from North Dakota
five had announced themselves for
Blaine, and the single Harrison man,
Gerard Pierce, son of ex-senator Gil
Pierce, was bound to Harrison only
through his fathers efforts. The in
structed delegation from South Dakota
had swung around for Blaine, but two
of the eight delegates having said they
would vote for Mr. Harrison.
Il believe Blaine will be nominated
on the first ballot" said Senator Hans
brough. ''My ticket is Blaine and
Rusk, and the name of tine Wisconsin
man for vice president is on every lip at
Washington. He would capture the
farmer vote. Blaine and Rusk would
carry every state west of the Mississippi
and also Tennessee and Louisiana.
The young men of Louisiana have gone
over to Blaine by thousands on account
of the mastery way in which he handled
the Italian incident. New York will give
$4,000 majority for Blaine, the action of
the Cleveland men at their kick" con-
vention yesterday having shown that
the fight in the Democratic ranks there
will last until after election day."

BLAINE's BOOM COMING.
The Clarkson Party Will Reach
Nfjnneapolis This Afternoon.

The ClarkSon Party Will keach
Minneapolis This Afternoon.
The arrival of the Harrison managers
and boomers yesterday created desire
among the politicians and the anti-Har-
rison men to see the leaders of the other
side, and they will not have long to
wait. The Blaine boom will reach
Minneapolis in the hands of its best
managers before the sun goes dawn this
afternoon, and this evening the first en-
gagement may be expected to take
place. In this party are Chairman
J. S. Clarkson, A. l.. Conger, of
Ohio; Henry G. Payne, of Wis
consin; Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania;
J. Sloat FasSett. of New York; lowell
Clayton, of Arkansas; John NJ. Thurs
ton, of Nebraska: Gen. j. c. New, Of
Indiana, and several others.
Nearly all of these men are in the
front rank of the Blaine boomers, and
when they reach tine convention city
the music will commence. The party
reached Milwaukee yesterday, and was
banqueted there last evening. The
journey will be resumed this morning,
and daylight trip made between the
Cream City and Minneapolis.

THE TICKETS APPoRTIoNE d.
The Local Committee Fares Ex-
tremeiy Well in the Divide.

The Local committee FareS Tx
tremely Well in the Divide.
The rush for tickets to the convention
will be something unprecedented next
week. The local committees have re-
ceived their proportion, and they are
well supplied-sO well supplied that
they will make neat little bit of money
out of the sale of them at $50 per
ticket. Already over 5000 tickets have
been disposed of. They have been di-
vided in this manner:
Delegates and alter mates .-.......L LSOO
Four extras to each delegate -. $500
Local committees proportion.... .2,6o0
This is the exact number that the
local committees have at their disposal
1900. Just figure it out for yourself,
and you will see that the executive com
mittee is going to make enough money
out of the sale of tickets at $50 ticket
to more than pay all expenses.
The subordinate officers of the con-
vention predict that there will be
mighty howl from the Republican mo-
guls when they arrive in Minneapolis
and find that the supply of tickets for
general use has been cut down to 5000.
Thousands of people are coming to the
convention with the understanding that
will be able to supply them with admis-
sions to the great gathering. hey will
be disappointed. The delegates them
selves do not know it yet. They
will not know anything about it
until they arrive in Minneapolis.
They will all expect to gather in large
number of extras in addition to the four
held by each man. But the extras will
not come. This is the largest number
of tickets that has ever been apportioned
to the city in which a convention was
held. Four years ago in Chicago the
citizens of that city had but 900 tickets
to go around among almost a million
persons. Minneapolis will have nearly
three times that number.
The local committees are we'll satisfied
with the apportionment. The national
committee undoubtedly recognized that
Minneapolis had taken large contract
n handling national convention, and
that the expenses falling on this city
would be enormous. Hence they de-
cided to put up with the kicking from
the wheelhorses of the party and help
the citizens out of financial straits.

The advance guard of the Harrison

There may and there may not be any

fact Yesterday that the first squad of

He is just a little fatigued after his
