BOTH ARE CONFIDENT.
Blaine and Harrison Managers Claim the
Nomination on The First Ballot.

Blaine and Harrison Managers Claim the
Nomination on he First Ballot.
MINNEAPOLIS, June All day the lob
bies of the West hotel were thronged with
Republican leaders of national reputation,
and each has strong personal candidate
for the presidency. Thus men of acknowl-
edged political astuteness differ diametri-
cally as to the predictions and results of
the convention, and while preferences are
generally divided between Harrison and
Blaine, an Alger man appears from time to
time with a confident prediction that Mich
igan will ultimately come to the front.
The Blaine and Harrison managers both
arrived this morning and the confidence
with which the
SELF CONSTITUTED BLAINE BOOMERS
announced that he would accept the nomi-
nation if extended to him and the calm as
surance with which they are prosecuting
the contest, has suddenly given HerioGs-
ness to the Blaine movement, and politi-
clans are directing their attention to an
analysis OF the probable vote of various
state delegations.
| In the matter of figures the Harrison
managers point TO the states which have
given instructions for president and cite
assurances of support they claim to be
daily receiving.
The Blaine people give no details. but
claim about everything IN sight, Hon.
John c. New of Indiana, is leading the
! Harrison psople, and Hon. James Clarkson
/ is recognized as the Blaine leader with fell
| low workers in the persons of Hon. J.
! Sloat Fassett, New York; Hon. Henry G.
Payne, Wisconsin; Colonel A. S. Conger,
| Ohio and others, while Nevis lieutenants

eral L. T. Mitchner, of Indiana, law part
ner of W. w. Dudley; ex-senator John
c. Spooner, Of Wisconsin, and number of
others.
The Indianans assert that there is COM
plete harmony in the delegation, and Har-
rison will receive
THE UNANIMOUS VOTE OF INDIANA.
General New is emphatic in the assertion
that Blaine is not in the race. He said it
would be an insult to Blaine's manhood
and integrity TO assume to be tr1ing when
he wrote his letter Of declination.
81 am looking for no important opposi-
/ ton to Harrison's denomination. What
little opposition there is cannot unite. We
already have majority of the delegates
pledged and will nominate our man
on THE FIRST BALLOT"
Clarksou says that on the first ballot
Blaine win have 600 delegates and Harri-
son less than half that number. Harrison
! if not unpopular said Clarl1son, but the
people Of the country have decided that the
best interests of the party viii be sub
served by the nomination of some other
man. In my Judgment forty or more of the
New York delegation are opposed to the
presidents denomination, and sixty of
them will vote for Blaine"
Ex-senator J. c. Spooner of Wisconsin
announces
HIS PREFERENCE FOR HARRISON
and does not see how Blaine can accept
the nomination in any event, unless it
comes TO him unanimously.
4 1.-THE Michigan delegation wants Alger
for second place in the el ent Of Blalne's
nomination, and for first place in case
Blaine declines.
Chauncey NJ. Depsw said last night that
having always been a Blaine man he was
entitled to receive an intimaiion if there
was any intention on the part of Blaine to
be q candidate, snd having received no such
intimation, he had taken the
LETTER TO GARRISON AS FINAL,
which had slight tendency to dampen the
ardor OF the Blaine boomers. Depew's po-
sition is admitted to be a strong one, but is
1 combatted by the assertion that although
nominate him and he will show obedience
to his party.
One sensational incident today was the
receipt OF telegram announcing that ].
/ Manchester Haynes OF Maine, member Of
the national committee had resigned and
his place filed by the election of Joseph
H. Manley, one OF the most trusted and
confidential
FRIENDS OF BLAINE,
although accommodations were made for
! Secretary of the Interior Noble, word was
received that he will not attend the con
vention. Il is presumed he did not desire
I TO subject the administration to possible
criticism by his presence.
General a. Banning Norton, of Dallas
Texas. one OF the fathers of the Republican
party, is here both as district and delegate
at-large, but with contests on both sides.
/ He is for Harrison, Gresham, or any good
] Republican.
/ The sub committee OF the national COM
mittee held a brief meeting this afternoon
and after adjournment issued an official
declaration that the convention hall is the
best that ever contained & national conven-
ton.
II is generally accepted that General
William Mckinley of Ohio will be
PERMANENT CHAIRMAN.
