informed Judge Mcbride that the Utah

Judge Goodwin walks about but Allen
stands kerplunk against the door and will
not bulge, even to take drink.

CONVENTION HALL, MINNEAPOLIS, June
7-ISpecial telegram to The HERALD.l-
The committee on credentials has Just
adjourned until 9 80 in the morning No
action was taken on any Of the contests.
The sub-committees will probably not be
appointed, as the chairman OF the commit
tee is a Harrison man and the majority OF
the committee is for Blaine, hence the
committee hesitates 20 place the power to
appoint subs in his hands; therefore, it is
likely that all contests will be heard By the
whole committee.
The Utah contingency have mingled
with the maddening throng and lost their
identity in the great shouting sea Of hus
mainly in and around the West house.
