FIGURE AND GUESS,


this morning, and said that Andrew H. Gleeson,
his colleague from the District Of Columbia
would not reach Minneapolis until Sunday
night. Carson, soon after his arrival had an
interview with Chairman Garrison. The latter
informed him that the republican executive
committee had decided that Carson and Glee-
son are the regular delegates, and as such will
be placed on the roll. This will make
Wolf and Chase the contestants. One
OF the reasons why the committee was not par
ticularly disposed toward Chase was the fact
that q copy Of his newspaper had been for
warded in which he stated that Cleveland was
the best friend the cOlored man had ever had.
Carson feels satisfied that there will be no fur
Their trouble and that he and his colleague will
retain their places on the roll.
ESTIMATE OF BLAINE's srHKNarR.
Mr.. Plat says he knows Mr.. Blaine will &C.
cept.
Senator Hansbrough says that count made
by Blaine men shows 551 Blaine delegates and
S51 Harrison. j. C. New claims between 500
and 500 for Harrisona and his nomination ON the
first ballot Cullom is in the field Of action to-
day. Hediscredits talk Of split in the Illinois
delegation. Ex-Representative Wallace OF
Brooklyn, who arrived today, says that he
thinks Harrison will not have more than twenty
votes Of the New York delegation when it comes
to ballot.
ARRIVAL OF Ex-oov. FORAKER.
Ex-Gov. Foraker arrived this morning. He
is high up in enthusiasm. Four hundred and
ninety-nine of the Ohio republicans, he says.
are for Blaine and against Harrison. II the
contest lays between Blaine and Sherman they
might be for Sherman. If Blaine is nominated,
he says land he has no doubt that he will be),
he is in favor Of Alger or Rusk for second place.
Plat and Depew came in on Depew's privste
car. Platt says that fifty surely, and probably
hfty-fve. of the New York delegates are OPP
posed to Harrison.
There is a voice that whispers that Depew
may change front and 60 to Blaine. This is
but vague rumOr. Ex-Sergeant-at-Arms and
ex-Representative Holmes of Iowa ia at the
West today. He said to me that the Iowa dele
CATION was divided against itself, more of them
probably being for Harrson but. he added.
they were elected when 1t was thought that
Blaine would not accept and you can't tell
what they will do now that Blaine is put in the
field.
MR.. DEPEw NOT WATERING.
Chauncey Depew has just authorized The
STAR correspondent to deny the report that he
would desert Harrison for Blaine. II have
always been friend of Mr. Blaine and was orig
inally Blaine man. When he wrote his letter to
Gen. Clarkson l took him at his word. l will
not believe that he has changed his
mind on the subject until / see in
his handwriting statement to that effect
am for President Harrison, and there is no
more truth in the report that had deserted
than there is in the rumor that Blaine will write
another letter."
"How about the statement of Mr. Platt that at
least fifty Of the New York delegation will be for
Blaine on first BALLOT"
Il do not believe that is correct Mr.. Platt
probably believes bis figures are accurate. but
predict the result will show that he is in error
