MINNEAPOLIS. June 1O.-Nothing could exceed
the jubIancy OF the Harrison men when the
Convention adjourned at 1:30 this morning.
They felt 80 we'll that they did not want to go
to bed. They wore swarminE the corrl 1or CT
the West Hotel at o'clock thia morning
shouting and shaking hands hilarously. They
had no doubt from tho test vote taken on the
report Iof the Committee on Credentials that
they had control OF the Convention. and they
had very little fear OF losing it. They were
counting not only on holding the strength
which they had shown last night but on gain
Ing more through the moral effect OF last
nights vote. The anti Harrison men still cou-
tended that they were not beaten. They admit
ted that the result OF tho vote last night took
their favorite candidate Blaine. out OF the
race and oven Mr.. Duflled. who was to pro-
sent the name Of Gen. Alger. was willing to
admit the possibility that tho name OF Mich
igan's favorito son would not be heard in tho
Convention. Tho Michigan mon had not held
together on tho test vote. and he realized that
they would not hold together on the first bal
lot But.iin common with the other anti-Hnr-
rison men. he had not given up hope entirely.
There was still the chance Of n dark horse.
Mckinley" was tho namo to charm tho Har-
risen men from their allegiance. The name
OF the Ohio man was heard on every side.
The Blaine men were keeping UP their cour-
age and the courage OF their friends by insist
Ing TINT the roll call was not test Of strength
between Harrison md Blaine

The Harrison men were out early this morn
Inc. They wero stirring at o'clock. and an
hour later had begun their work in tho State
delegations. The admirable organization OF
Nj. liarrison's forces has mpeled the nd.
miratlon OF even his enemies. For more than

has been blocked out by State delegations
and each block has been In charge Of trusted
lieutenant OF John C. New. These lIeutenants
