The republican state convention
which met at Fargo last Wednesday
saw fit to give Gov. Burke a renomi-
nation and administer a stin ring blow
to the Allin adlierents. Burke's non-
ilation is conceded by men Of differ
elt political faith to be a weak one.
Not only will he be knitted by the
Allin faction, which waged a bitter
and nncompronising wal against his
nomination, bnt will be Obliged to
contend against the widespread dis
affection of the rank and file Of his
party who are not in accord with his

Congress has about decided to lay over
the Worlds Fair appropriation bill until
December.
This is the way the Fargo and Grand
Forks papers get back at each other:

MINNEAPOLIS, June s.-The opening Of
the Republican national convention
found no significant change in the
presidential situation. Both side are
still apparently as confident as ever.
General Alger Is still in the field, and
no less than half a dozen other distin-
guished Republicans OF national repu-
tation are mentioned as possible COM
promise candidates. No one knows
when the first ballot will be cast, rs the
whole progress OF the convention ap-
pears to bG dependent entirely on the
action OF the committee on credentials.
This organization practically controls
the political situation, as 1t is within its
power, in case that power is exercised
unscrupulously, to seat orunseat enough
delegates to exercise the balance
OF power in the convention. 1t
is very manifest that tho proceedings
OF the committee are not to be charac=
terized by that harmony which has
been SO strongly urged on all sides for
the past twenty-four hours. The Blaine
people have control OF the committee,
but the opposition has very large and
aggressive minority and every vantage
point is contested stubbornly and elo.
auently. 1t has generally been the Gus
tom that the committee on credentials
appointed on the first day OF the con-
vention has been prepared toreport on
the opening OF the second, but that will
not be the case this year, and no one
iknows-not even the secret managers
OF the Blaine forces-when that COM
mittee may deem it advisable TO expe-
dite its business and present its report
HARRISON MEN CLAIMING GAINS,
The Harrison people maintained this
morning, with considerable show OF
plausibilIty, that they have made gains
within the past "a hours in certain OF
the Northern and Eastern states, par
ticular stress being laid by them on the
state OF New York, where they claim at
present that they will receive 20 votes
on the first ballot.
The leaders OF the opposing hosts
held important meetings lasting way in
to the night. The Harrison conference
was attended by Michener and New, OF
Indiana; Spooner, OF Wisconsin; Jones,
Of Illinois; HiscoCk, OF New York, and
others. At the conclusion OF the con-
ference It was stated that the reports
received by the committee from tho
various delegates showed that tho presi-
dent had made substantial gains and
that the Harrison vote pledged was
larger than II had been since the be-
ginning OF the convention. The en-
couraging gain was from New York.
Senator Hiscock stated THAT a delegation
ballot had been taken and showed a
gain OF ten for Harrison, being thirty
as against the claim OF twenty made
heretofore by the presidents friends.
FELTON,, OF California, stated that the
President would have fourteen votes

Their purpose became apparent. The
