MINNEAPoLIs, June s.-The enthusias-

yesterdays session of the convention were
renewed this morning at II o'clock, when
the delegates assembled for the second
day convention. An hour before the time
set for the convention to come together
the exposition hall began to fill up aud at

At 11:17 Temporary Chairman fassett
took his seat on the platform aud was
greeted with prolonged applause, which
he acknowledged by bowling.
Prayer was offered by Bishop Whipple,
but the delegates were slow in coming TO

o'clock this morning the situation showed
little change from last night. The strain
OF the past two days is beginning to tell
on the delegates. "A number are indis-
posed but as far as is known, none of the
delegates are seriously i'll.
The sentiment this morning seems to be
that both factions are beginning TO real
ize the positive necessity of third candi-
date. The Blaine men were planning a
campaign of delay and will make every
possible effort to draw QUO the proceed
iDps as long as possible.
The Harrison men, on the contrary, are
going TO push things, believing that pro-
crastination is dangerous for the Presi-
dents chances. The situation is explained

fair weather. The weather, however,
does not dampen the ardor OF delegates

than that OF yesterday had gathered at
the exposition building fully three hours
before the time set for opening the con-
vention.
The street demonstrations which have
been a feature of every night of the con-
vention were even more noisy this morn

on the strength Of the work of the tenn

played, particularly by -tbe-Blaine men,
who, despite the assertions of the oppos-
ing faction that yesterdays work of the
convention afforded no opportunity of
measuring strength, claimed first blood
