HARRIsoNANs vo' IFERoUs.
The Harrison managers were vociferous in
their expressions Of confidence this morning
and are seeking every advantage derivable for
increase of strength in the New York delegation,
which was announced last night by Senator
Hiscock. The names Of twenty-nine dele
gates signed to a paper Is palPa-
caviling, and the Harrison managers are
making the most Of it. They claim that from
now their column will grow until all opposition
will cease. The Blaine managers do not under
rate the moral effect of gain in New York, but
they are preparing similar surprise in another
quarter, which they say they will spring later
on.
I'VE were never thoroughly organized
this morning. ''We were busy with prelimi-
naries and had no body Of men to affect the
office holders who are here for Harrison, but this
defect is now supplied by the voluntary offer
Of admirers Of Mr.. Blaine. We shall now con-
duct vigorous canvass Of the delegation"
Ex-senator Warner Miller, Congressman Bou-
teile and Gov. Foraker will be the leaders if
they will present the frozen truth. Ex-senator
Platt declares that it is mistake to claim
twenty-nine votes for Harrison in the New
York delegation. 1t is said the names
Of six absent delegates were signed
out authority. "Even If they should confirm
the signatures the accession to Harrison does
not offset the advantage to Blaine" said one Of
the leaders, Sin the contest Of the committee
