he has not lost his footing, then his ad-
miniStration does. One Of his best
friends from the Buckeye state said yes
terday that he knew as little about eX-
ecutiye management as the country says
he knows about the tariff, and that his
administration had been failure.
He will not cut much of figure in
this convention, unless he gets the ac-
claim outside of his own state, and yet
he is liable to catch it. His opposite has
got TO face the prejudices Of the coun-
try, ana make his pace where men can
be reached outside of the public press
OF his own party. 1t is not such bad
record for man in some respects under
a clond of obloquy in the East to walk
into a senatorial fight against John Sher-
man and come within three votes OF
winning it, with the whole power OF the
federal and state administration IN the
lobby against him.
Neither man owns the convention.
Foraker is expected TO present Mr..
Blaine'S name, and Mckinley is trying
to keep out of sight. 1t is barely posi-
bic that the governor may be elected
chairman of the delegation, but that
does not settle the by-play that. is GER
tain to arise. This subject only be-
comes important because 1t is going 10
introduce INTO the convention TWO cnar-
acterS who are bound to become Signlf-
icant before anybody is nominated. 1t
is not to be the old combat between men
like COnkling and Garfield in 1880, be-
cause one has no show for the nomlna-
ton, and the other is not seeking 1t.
The governor of Ohio is not here yet,
and as eX-Gov. Foraker crosses his legs
tonight he simply smiles, and looks over
the field with perfect cOmplacency.
The tariff king is in his hands. if he
desires to demonstrate his power. So
far that has been made manifest i'll
more ways than one.

Colleague on the Gold

The most terrific roast that the ad-
miulstratlon has received at the hands
of any one of its many party enemies
during the preliminary convention can
vass, came yesterday from the Pickerel
statesman of South Dakota. Senator
Pettigrew. 1t was a hummer. Petit
grew is not only for Blaine, but is for
him strong, and hates Harrison as only
a South Dakota thoroughbred can hate.
He got in from Washington yesterday
and expressed his views of the Situa-
tion as follows:
81 amnot at all surprised" said he,
''at the resignation of MIR. Blaine from
the Harrison cabinet. The only thing
that seems at all singular to me, is that
gentleman of Mr.. Blaine's disposition
should have SO long remained in close
and intimate association with such men
as Miller and Tracey and Wanamaker.
1t was Mr.. Harrison and his little ad-
viSerS who StrOve to foment dScOrd
with poor little insignificant Chilli. 1t
was Mr.. Blaine who constantly bore the
insults and slanderS of his associates
and their tools, because lie reSOlutely
declined to lend himself to their JingO
efforts for the denomination of their
chief. You remember that Mr.. Blaine
was reported sick during the pendency
of the Behring sea negotiations. l
happen to be advised that Mr..
Blaine was never in better health
in his life than during that incident
But the president, with small envy of
the fame of his great secretary, took the
negotiations out of Mr.. Blaine's hands,
where it legitimately belonged. The
secreta ry of state turned the entire
matter over to his excellency of this eX-
cellent administration, and the report
was given out that the secretary of state
was sick. Well--he was sick-sick Of
his company. sick of being insulted by
his chief and the kitchen cabinet. What
ever excellence there has been in Mr.
HarrisOn's administration is traceable,
to Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. RuSk. The mis-
takes and weaknesses that occasioned
the politicaL earthquake of 1890 belong
by right to MIR. Harrison and his errand
boys. He is the most signal example in
history of class president. have no

MILLER FOR BLAINE.
He Remembered That He Was AL

RPeaStWOrkS

He remembered That he W as Al
lowed to Remain Outside the
Breastworks.
Ex-senator Warner Miller. of New
York, at midnight made the following
statement, declaring for Blaine as the
choice of the majority of the New YORK
Republicans: Il have arrived here,
after six weeks travel over the country
in which have not been able to con-
fer with my friends in New York.
Since coming here [ have con-
suited with as many of the delegates

majority of the delegation are decidedly
III favor of Blaine as representing their
constituents. | accept that as the voice
of the Republicans of the state Of New
York. and | shall support Mr.. Blaine in
the convention.
This is the first Official announcement
from Mr.. Miller since the opening of
the campaign, and is regarded here as of
great significance and likely to influence
the action of the convention to a con-
siderable extent. 1t IS said that this
gives Mr.. Blaine at least forty-six votes
from New York in the convention, leay-
ing not more than twenty-slx votes for
Mr.. Harrison, and it is claimed
by anti-administration men that
at least four OF these twenty-slx
votes should properly be put in the
doubtful column. Mr.. Miller only
reached this determination after being
here for twelve hours, in which he went
over the situation carefully with
nearly all the New York Republicans
and with other persons.
A strong effort was made by E. G.
O'Brien, one of the New York dele
gates, ard other administration men. to
get MIR. Miller's support, or at any rate,
to have him preserve neutral position
in the contest.

Shook and Others Talk.
Warner Miller arrived in the city early
In the morning, and was at once sought
for an interview as 10 his position in the
presidential contest. Mr.. Miller said
that he had just arrived and was not
prepared to talk for publication until he
could have some conferences with his
friends. He added that tonight or to-
morrow morning, perhaps, he would
have something to say.
From Mr.. Miller's friends it was
learned that his position was the same
as it had always been. He was opposed
to Mr.. Harrison as the nominee and was
prepared to vote for Mr.. Blaine.
A number of interviews with MEM
beTS of the New York delegation showed
that it will take poll of the delegation
to ascertain just where it stands. Sheri-
dan Shook was enthusiastically for
Blaine, putting his strength at fifty in
New York, and declaring that the man
from Maine could win the fight in New
York if nominated, of which he had no
doubt. Police Justice Jake Patterson
wandered around with big headlight

Northern New York, was strong Har-

each haying thirty-two votes according
to Mr. Quackenbush's canvass, with the
rest in doubt. Eight of these Harrison
votes, he said, came from New York
city and six from Brooklyn. Mr.. Quaek-
enbush thought the Blaine resignation
had strengthened the Harrison men in
New York. At the Harrison head
quarters they figured Harrison's New
York votes at tWenty-siX.
Mr.. Platt says that Harrison has not
over seventeen votes in New York state.

NJ. III. De Young Believes They
Will All Be for Blaine.
The CalTfornians never come to town
without making STIR. They did it yes
terday when they arrived in Minneapo-
lis. They were due in the morning but
they came not until the afternoon.
When they did come the whole pOpula-
ton turned out to watch them make
their entrance. CalifOrnia1S never
travel without band and banners.
They had both in abundance yesterday.
They carried one handsome banner en-
blaZ0ned with demand for protection,
reciprocity and gold and silver money.
1t was an expensive banner, too. They
wore badges that would make miser's
soul turn sick to see valuable metal put
to such base uses. A part OF the badge
is medallion OF solid gold.
When the California delegation left
the Pacific coast it was supposed to be
almost unanimous for Harrison. When
half way here the news came on ahead
that the entire delegation was hurrah-
ing for Blaine. Later word SAID that it
was evenly divided between Blaine and
Harrison. When the delegation marched
into Minneapolis yesterday it seemed
Blaine. The Harrison men were saying
nothing. The most enthusiastic MEM
bers of the delegation had secured tri-
colored plumes. which they waved fran
tically as they shouted themselves
hoarse for Blaine. But this is what Nj.
II. De Young, proprietor OF the San
Francisco Chronicle and the leader of
the delegation, says OF the outlook:
1--WE Calif0rnans have been on the
road a long time. We have not done
much talking politics on the road. But
California is a Blaine state. l can say
that, although l cannot speak for all
the delegates. We have been having
such a good time that we have not given
any thought to politics. Before the
balloting begins think the entire de le
CATION will be for Blaine"
''Rideout is an Alger man," put in q
bystander, "He and Alger own a red
wood claim UP in tine mountains"
"Well, RideOut is for Blaine," said.
Mr.. De Young. reasSuringly. "You
see, when we left California Harrison
was the only candidate In the field.
Some OF the federal Officeholders out in
that country got around few of the
delegates and got them to promise to
vote for Harrison. But Blaine'S reSig-
nation from the cabinet came while we
were OH the road. Our fellows said,
Now we want to think this thing over
before we decide where we want to
stand And that is how the matter
stands now. There is no question
but that Blaine's resignation made
Mr. Blaine much stronger. 1t simply
slowed that he had pulled out of the
cabinet to become candidate for the
nomination. 1t also indicates that the
president has disappointed him, as he
has disappointed the people of this
country. California should have had
cabinet position, but she didn't get it.
Harrison promised it. and New promised
it at Chicago, but it never came. And
these reasons are what makeime believe
that the California delegation will be
for Blaine"
Had Harrison given to California that
coveted cabinet position, it is probable
that MIR. De Young would have been the
lucky appointee. George A. Knight.

THEY HAVE AUTHORITY.
Quay and Clarkson Have BIaine's
Authorization in Writing.

EX-Congressman Henry &. Burleigh.
one of the New York delegates, added:
"The current talk that Blaine is being
used simply as club to defeat Harri-
son is all nonsense. 1t is genuine,
we'll organized. earnest movement for
Blaine, first. last and all the time, be-
cause we believe New York is necessary
to success, and that Blaine is
the only man who can carry
it. New York will give him fifty votes
in the convention. believe nine
tenthS of the Republicans of my state
are for him." There is unquestionable
authority for saying tonight that the
friends of Blaine-that is. those who
have been urging his nomination-have
the fullest authority for him for the
course they have pursued. In fact,
there is 10 question tonight that Mr..
Quay aud MIR. ClarkSon have an author
iZation from Mr.. Blaine to use his name
before the convention during the COM
ing week. Moreover. they have had this
authorization for ten days. This fact
explains much that may have seemed
peculiar in the attitude of Quay, Clark
son ct al, when they Insisted that in
spite of his letter he would be nomi-
mated by the convention.

of the every projected move of Blaine,
and was quite prepared for the an
nouncement of his resignation. U ntIl
this evening it has been believed by
great many people that Blaine's resigna-
ton did not affect his attitude to the
nomination, as defined in the ClarksOn
letter. The authorization to use his
name has been in the hands of Quay and
Clarks0n for ten days, is evidence
sufficient apparently to prove be-
Ond question of doubt that the reSigna-
tion of the secretary is what Clarkson
had claimed it to be-a move prelimi-
nary to the presentation of his name to
the convention.
In connection with this fact an inter-
esting statement is made on good au-
thority tonight, it is that Mr.. Blaine
some time ago made it condition of
supporting the president for renomina-
ton that the president should make
statement crediting Blaine with the
successful conduct of the Chilian mat
ter and the Benring sea controversy.
This the president refused to do. and he
was expecting Mr.. Blaine's resignation
at any time after this refusal was given.

son, Plat and Foraker, were not visible
during the day, and access to them was
difficult. Gov. Foraker was not in his
room on several occasions when cards
were sent up and probably out OF this
fact grew the rumor current this
evening that he had gone to Chicago
last night for the purpose Of meeting
the Cincinnati Blaine club at that point,
and returning to this city ON their train.
which will reach Minneapolis tomorrow
morning. 1t was reported also that Mr..
Clarkson had gone to Chicago to have
conference with Ager. Both OF these
stories were denied.
1t was reported 10 the Harrison mana
gers during the day that Senator Hans
borough, in conversation last night, had
intimated that If the presidents friends
would name any other candidate he
could be nominated by acclamation.
They hailed this as all evidence of weak
ness, and rejOiced over it greatly.

ENDED WITH GAS.
Illicit Love Leads to the Death of
Two Persons.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Rudolph Hacker,
a cigar manufacturer at 227 East DiVis-
ion street. and Mrs. Louise Plum, wife
of Jacob II. Plum, who keeps a bakery
at 3l2 West Twelfth street. were found
dead in bed together in the woman's
house at ia North Halsted street at
noon today. The gas was turned on
full frem the jets. and the circumstances
pointed to double suicide. The idea
If suicide at once entered the minds of
he Cfieers who discovered them, but
-. IueGt developments went TO show
Curing the past few weeks that strained
relations had existed between the pair,
and the officers now advance the theory
that Hacker found the woman asleep IN
the house. and to prevent her leaving
HIM, which she was contemplating
doing, he turned on the gas and killed
her and himself. The woman had been
separated from her husbOnd for three
years because OF her relations with
Hacker. She had recently promised
to return to her home, and it is suspect
ed that when Hacker became aware of
this he resolved upon the deed which
ended both lives.

to keep off the floor and to pose as

"Gov. Foraker will fairly and squarely
put Blaine before the convention. How
do L feel about it? just the same as |
have always felt-hayen't the slightest

people do. Figures on such occasions

a very pretty fight is promised when
the Missouri delegation meets today to
select a successor TO G. l. Filley as
national committeeman. MIR. Filley for
many years has had no opposition for
reelection. This year he has two op-
ponents, r. c. Kerrin and Mai. Charles
E. Pearce, of ST. Louis. Mr.. kerrln
is a delegate at large and an ardent
Harrison man. He has had control, to
a great extent. in the distribution or
patronage under the administration.
Mr.. Filley is also a delegate at large,
and although in common with the other
delegates he was instructed for Har-
risOn, he announces that he will vote
for Blaine. The friends of Harrison
claim that eighteen of the district dele
gates, as well as the four delegates at
large. have been instructed for him.
Mr.. Filley claims that. as in past years,
he controls the delegation. and will be
reelected. The Harrison men are ex-
pected to vote against him, and a lively
triangular fight is expected today.

Gen. Malone, the distinguished eX-
senator from Virginia, was the object of
much interest, as he strolled from head
quarters to headquarters throughout the
city last evening. The general is not
taking any very prominent part in the
present contest, except that he is very
DESTROYS of defeating the denomination
of President Harrison. When asked for
his view of the situation, he said: at
seems to me that Blaine is i'll it very de-
cidedly; if he is not, L don't know who

How about dark horse coming in
and carrying off the nomination, gen.
eral?''
"That does not look very likely, bnt if
there is to be dark horse, | am for
Alger, l tell you that. He is my dark
horse, if it comes to the selection of
compromise candidate. Gen. Alger is
the man who took the stand which
made it possible to defeat the nomina-
ton of Harrison, and, besides, he is the
man that can win. | am for him if we

Editor RoSeWater Figures Out the
Vote for the Candidates.
Vague estimates have been sent out
tonight by newspaper correspondents.
None of them are official, of course. and
probably reflect the particular interests
or desire of those who made them. Mr..
Hatton, of the Washington Post, gave
Blaine sol votes and Harrison 500, the
remaining being in doubt. He stated
that the votes credited to Blaine were
all from the Northern states.
Mr.. Hatton expressed the opinion that
if the Harrison line in the South remains
intact the president will be nominated.

tion in the hotel lobbies tonight, when
was credited to Mr.. RoSewalter, editor
