the opportunity, insure success for 1892 by
nominating Blaine. Many of the delega-
tions who were instructed for Harrison
when Blaine WAS thought TO be unavaila-

with requests from their constituents to
give the party its surest chance in utiliZ-

added a dramatic effect TO the situation.

of Allison is warmly urged by the anti

The selection of Mckinley for permanent
chairman is conceded on ali sides. For
chairman Langston of Vir-
