CONTESTED SEATS.
Both Factions Endeavoring to Capture
Southern Delegates.

MINNEAPOLIs June 6. - test OF
strength on side issues, it is believed,
would be injurious to Harrison, therefore
the threat of the Harrison men to appeal
from the decision of the National Commit
tee would be a dangerous proceeding. The
contest between Harrison and Blaine Is
growing so close as to make possibility
that on the decisions of the committee on
contest will rest the party nomination. The
committee IS now in session and its action
is not cheering to the Harrison men, who
were counting Oh almost solid delegations
from the Southern States. In many in
stances they have been able TO hold their
ground. but on the whole, and Alabama
especially, they were hard hit, the anti
Moseley faction capturing all but three con-
tested seats.
The Harrison men are angry at the way
the contests have been decided, and threaten
to make fight on the National Committee
all along the line. The Alabama contest
will be carried before the executive COM
mittee. The Reform Republicans" the
party opposed to the regular delegation
from South Carolina, was not recognized.
and they will appeal to the full committee
They say they are Blaine men, and urge
recognition on the ground that they are
"the white mans and respectable col0red
mans party" The members of the Southern
delegations find themselves important, and
appear to appreciate the fact, and the Har-
rison men are making strong efforts to hold
them in line, while the anti Harrison forces
are bringing all the means at their COM
mand to break into the South, and appa-
rently with effect. Fred Douglass is ac-
lively at work in HarrisOn's cause. He
denounced Blaine on account Of his opposi-
tion 10 the force bill of 1873. General
Longs treet has written to the members of
the Georgia delegation, urging them to vote
for Blaine. Warner Miller is also quietly
doing missionary work for Blaine among
the c0lored delegates. Ex-senator Bruce,
Aud itor Lynch and other colored men are
working for Harrison. Efforts have been
made to win over Langston to the Presi-
dents support, but without effect.
The meeting, started at Chicago having
for its object the protection of tue negroes in
the South. has come to Minneapolis and
reached point where il seems likely to
figure in the fight Langston supports 1t.
while Bruce and Lynch oppose 1t.
When the Louisiana contest was heard,

Governor Yarmouth headed their respective

first ballot as it stands EOw, and they are
widely scattered. No one delegation is for
him, but his friends have managed TO gather
them one or two at time from all over the
Union. This, combined with Ayers
strength, will make a second ballot neces-
sary. and in that event neither Blaine nor
Harrison would be In il.
To any one not on the ground it is almost
impossible to realize the bitterness of the
feeling which has sprung up between the
friends of Harrison and those of Blaine.
1t is believed that the war is to the knife,
and that back of it all is an intensely strong
feeling OF personal antagOnism that it will

MINNEAPOLIS. June 6-The Convention

ceed Benjamin Harrison as President Of the
United States. For this reason he is an
attractive figure wherever be is, and all
eyes are turned toward him with an inquir-
ing expression Of expectancy. 1 saw him

We'll" came the reply, ''for the same
reason that 1 have heretofore supported
Mr. Blaine-because l think he is the man
who can win"
And yourselt-are you an aspirant"
81 am Mr.. Harrison's friend"
"But your name has been mentioned in
several conventions and your friends are
numerous"
True" he said, but I have always
eYaded it by requesting a few Of my good
friends to refrain from voting for me-"
'Will such a request be made now?"
I'VE will cross that bridge" he replied,
when we come to It"
This may be construed TO suit the ind-
vIdual reader, but to the careful student of
the situation it means that in the event Of
hitch Mckinley would allow his name to
be used
Still, however, Mckinley is only a posi-
bility, as is also John Sherman of Ohio.
But the latter has one element Of weakness
in the convention. The silver men are Op-
posed 10 him. His record on the money
question is such that Colorado is openly de-
nouncing him. and Threatening that their
State would 60 Democratic in the event Of
his nomination.
This is all very well, of course, as far as
it goes. but the Sherman men are counter
ing it with the agreement that Cleveland is
sure to be named in Chicago, and that he
Is certainly anything but a free-conage
advocate. More than this, the Colorado
men, most conspicuous of whom is hand
some Ed WOlcOtt, know that their constant
howl for free silver is not calculated to help
the party just at this iuncture, and as a
consequence they have subsided.

and that. too, by class. of men who
are not easily caught mapping.
Some of the Alger men tonight are openly
claiming that Quay is attempting TO swap
horses in mid stream. and they predict that
the result will be disastrous, as be could
not transfer ohe-half the delegates who are
willing to vote for Blaine.
Still, as the time passes. the chances for
dark horse seem more favorable.
Both sides say that such is not the
case and claim victory on the first
ballot. but these are merely the bosses
and how will the conservative men, that
is the solid wing of the party, who
look at everything from piece
of chicken to woOdchuck, and
who represent the bone and sinew of the
great party,ac if they get it into their heads
that neither Blaine nor Harrison should be
nominated.
Their opinion is that the war between the
President and his ex-Secretary, which has
been going ON for some time, and which has
resulted in disruption Of their relations, may
render the selection of a compromise
candidate absolutely imperative.
This idea is encouraged by the fact that
Alger is in the race.
1t was rumored yesterday that he had
been scratched and would not 90 under the
wire when the gong tapped, but that was a
mistake.
General AIger is very decidedly in it,
and his friends claim that he holds

ally overheard Chairman Duffield of the
Michigan Central Committee going over the
ground tonight, with an Alger banner,
and his idea was that Alger could nominate
whom lie chose.
10 substance, Duffcld said We had a
meeting Of delegates this afternoon. and we
decided to place Alger's name before the
convention.
On the first ballot we are sure that he will
receive 60 ties at the very least estimate, and
we think that Will be the balance of power
between the Two leading candidates. If this
proves true, and we find that the Alger vote
is sufficient to nominate Blaine, why Blaine
goes on the second ballot.

Harrison's Lines stand Firm and
Unbroken.
MINNEAPoLIs, June $50 far as the
situation can be judged now there is no
reason to think that any great change has
taken place in the last "a hours.
Quay has been warned by the unexpected
strength and bulldog tenacity displayed by
the Harrison men, and Clarkson admitted
TO one OF his close personal friends to-day
that he was not so greatly alone. lie has
battled with the great bosses, and thus far
they have not beaten him out of single
trick. True. he has the advice and assist
ance Of Depew. Lew Wallace, Murat Hal
stead and Chairman Gowdy of the Indiana
State Central Committee, who are battle
SCARED veterans Of many a stubborniy con-
tested field, but the buh4 of the struggle
rests upon the shoulders Of New. That it is
heavy load no one denies, but he bears up
under it well and smiles confidently when
ever be discusses the situation.
New and his followers are not making
much noise and are depending more upon
solid work than upon brainless howls.
To the Blaine men are left the noise and
bowling, and badges and bands and plumes.
He claims that he still believes Blaine will
be nominated on the first ballot but he is
disappointed over the fact that they had not
been able to break through the Harrison
line.
HarTison's strength and the way in which
John c. New manages to hold it in line is
surprise to more people than Quay and
Clarkson. and so far as can be learned there
is not a delegate who was chosen as a Har-
rison man who has not stood his ground
manfuly In spite Of all arguments aud pro-
tests. This is largely due TO the abl lty of
New, who is certainly an able general and
who has proved himself much stronger
than he was credited with being Com
parativeIy, while the Harrison men plod
along quietly and get there with both feet,
all the fuss is being made by the Blaine
boomers, although thus far they have
failed to carry any one away with enthusi-
asm.

MINNEAPOLIs, June 6.-There is a man
named Mckinley, who lives in Ohio. and
who IS now Governor of that State, He IS
8 short. broad-shouldered man, clean
shaven. and with a Napoleonic cast OF fea-
lures. His eyes are gray and oyeThung by
heavy black eyebrows. a massive head of
splendid control Is his best feature, and
would attract attention IN any gathering
In appearance he is neat, but a glance at
him is sufficient to show that he cares moth
ing for dress. The dark gray coat which
be wears is thrown carelessly open to reveal
& snowy white shirt bosom and white neck
tie tucked away beneath the corners of a
rundown collar
He arrived here last night from his Ohio
home. and early this morning wrote his

MINNEAPOLIS, June G. - Among those
who do not believe in dark horse is Murat
HaIstead, the veteran journalist, who has
witnessed more hard fought political con-
tests than perhaps any other newspaper
man in the country.
This afternoon l caught him in the Press
headquarters, and when asked for his opin-
ion he said: Suggestions multiply that it
is time to think about third man. II am
not very much at fault there Is no longer a
probability Of this; there is no time for a
dark horse to came out Of the shadows
The least fluching on the part of the friends
of Blaine or Harrison would result in the
immediate and overwhelming nomination Of
the other There was talk among the
Harrison men of running Mckinley and a
talk among the Blaine men of running
Sherman. but do not think it practicable
TO handle the votes. 1t is a square fight be-
tween Harrison and Blaine and it must be

Considerable Talk Concerning the Pres
ent Minister to England.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 6.-There are all
sorts of stories and rumOrs afOat, many of
which when traced to their source have
no foundation in fact whatever. Many Of
them. no doubt, are the result OF the good
old saw. which says that "the wish is father
to the thought" For instance. there IS a
contingent here who say that Lincoln will
be put in the field in case of deadlock,
and another crowd still are talking
about Cuilom. while three Of the
California men are talking Lincoln as
a compromise. and more or less is heard OF
him on all sides. 1t is pointed out that his
fathers name is one TO conjure with, and
then Robert himself has made a reputation
as Secretary of War and Minister to the
court of ST. James. His followers believe
that the two combined would enable him
to sweep the country like tidal wave and
would land him in the White House with
votes TO spare.

is not worthy considering even. Those who

Growing Goodness Between the Blaine

Growing Goodness Between the Blaine
and Harrison Leaders.
MINNEAPoIIs, June 6.-The question as
to how many candidates there are in the
field is also a matter of speculation. The
leaders fer Blaine and Harrison are pro-
ceeding upon the presumption that Alger's
name will not be presented. but the action
Of the Michigan delegation to-day in reas-
serting its loyalty to Alger indicates that
this presumption is unwarranted Alger's
managers tonight are claiming sixty votes
for their candidate. In the event of Alger's
withdrawal the Blaine people claim that
their candidate will receive every vote of
the Michigan delegation except two, and
the Harrison managers cOncede the claims.
The events of the day tended TO increase
the animOsity between the two leading fac
tions. Heated arguments between individ.
uals resulted in personal encounters on
three or four occasions, and once or twice
riot seemed imminent. The most intense
feeling is manifested by the Indiana fac
tions.
1t is observed that the managers of the
rival factions are growing colder toward
each other, and many prominent leaders do
not speak when they meet.
