TO GO TO MCKINLEY.
Harrison's Strength May Be Thrown
to Ohios Governor
ON THE SECOND BALLOT.
Harrison Said to Lack Forty Votes of n
Nomination-McKinley Will Have Thirty
on the First Ballot-Some Harrison Vote
to Go to Blaine.

heutenants expect the nomination of McKin-
ley. have it from one of Mr.. Harrison's most
prominent and trusted lieutenants that after the
first ballot the Harrison forces will be thrown
to Mckinley. He tells me that Harrison now
lacks forty of enough to nominate him and that
they have little hope of nominating him on the
first ballot. A few of his votes will then go to
Blaine according to my estimate and the rest,
under direction of the President, will go to Nc
kinley. This expectation is that enough
votes will be drawn from the other side to Nc
Kinley to make his nomination sure. Mckinley
is expected toget thirty votes on the first ballot
before the break is made
ELECTED TO SUCCEED FAssETr.
The New York delegation at their meeting
this morning elected Frank S. Witherbee of
Fort Henry member of the national committee,
vice Fassett who was not in the race. Wither-
bee Is a Blaine man from his shoes up.
The Iowa Blaine clubs, with brass bands
and more enthusiasm than this city can hold
without an explosion. are marching on the con-
ventlon. The band are fairly shaking the halls
of the West. Following the Iowa Blaine
clubs came the Young Mems republican
clubs of Maryland. three-fourths of them
shouting Blaine and the rest silent. Then came
the Cincinnati Blaine Club with a band louder
than all the restand shouts that almost drowned
the sound of the big horn.
THE coLoRED VOTE.
The question that is perplexing the Blaine
folks lis how to eliminate the southern vote.
The Harrison folks show rema rkable nerve in
the face of the noise and are doing the best
work they know how to do.
When Mr. DOuOlaSs entered tbe hotel and
went to the Harrison headquarters there was a
loud cheer In the crowd. Almost superhuman
efforts are being made by the calm leaders to
calm the intense excitement that exists. The
question of the hour is how to hold
the convention down to calm reason. Mr.
Harrison's efforts, by use of the wires. to
check his friends in their denunciation of
Blaine. have had a good effect. Mckinley is
working very earnestly for Harrison and saws
he will be nominated.
BLAINE MEN SETTLE on FAssErT.
The Blaine forces have practically settled
upon Senator Fassett o: New York as their
candidate for temporary chairman of the
national convention.
A BAsRLEss REPORT.
At 1 o'clock Senator Cullom of Illinois
made the following statement to the
Associated Press in regard to the statement
of one b. C. Marsh, claiming to be a rel
| tive of Cullom. that the Senator had
received communication from President
Harrison authorizing him to withdraw his name
| If he was not nominated on the first ballot: Il
| never heard of b. c. Marsh before His state
ment is positively and absolutely without foun-
dation-nOt the slightest foundation for it on
earth. have not received any letu4f or tele-
gram from Harrison for six months and he has
! never communicated to me anything in regard
to his desires In this matter. The whole thing
| is pure fabrication. b. C. Marsh is no rela-
tive of mine-I never heard of him.
MARYLAND MEN on HAND.
The Maryland delegation and the Young
Mems American Club of Baltimore arrived at
noon today. The delegation stands fourteen
for Harrison and two for Blaine on first ballot.
The club presented a magnificent appearance
| as they marched through streets with tin UNI
brellas manufactured in Baltimore out of
| American tin.
GEN. PORTER SUPPORTED BY THE HARRIsO MANS.
The Harrison men continue to talk of Gen.
| Horace Porter their candidate for temporary
chairman, but thus far have not come to any
definite conclusion.
Senator Carey of Wyoming. who has been
| one of the staunchest supporters of the Presi-
| dent and is in the councils of the Harrison men,
said this morning that the Harrison folks would
certainly antagonize Mr.. Fassett whenever an
| effort was made to nominate for temporary
| chairman.
| They would not agree, they said. upon such
prominent man and SO strong supporter o.:
Mr.. Blaine for the position.
| close friend of Senator QUAY said this
morning that the Blaine men intended to push
| Fassett and would carry their point.
The national committee would not meet until l
O'Clock and it would then take a vote on tenn
porary chairman. There was a great deal of
| speculation and gossip as to the permanent
chairman of the convention but both sides
| said that no conclusion had been arrived at on
| this matter.
YOUNG BLAINE MEN FROM CINCINNATI.
The Young Mems Republican Blaine Club of
Cincinnati arrived in the city this forenoon and
with it came another blaze of Blaine enthu-
siasm. the famous Cincinnati band said to be one
of the finest bands in America. accompanying the
| club, and as ex-Gov. Foraker met the club at
| the depot there were hilarious cheers for the
fiery orator of the buckeye state and the band
| struck up an air of welcome. The march from
| the depot to the West House was triumphant
one. Ex-GOv. Foraker in a carriage, led the
| column. and as the white-hatted young repub-
licans. several hundred strong followed they
were loudly cheered at every corner. At the
head of the procession was a magnificent silk
banner. emblazoned with gilt. bearing the por-
| trait of James G.. Blaine and containing loyal
illusions to his eminent qualities. ]. p. NJ.
