| ST. Paul. MrsS.. May 5.-The republican
state convention. that met at IL o'clock this
morning, promises to be warm one in some
respects Last night it was thought that the
resolutions would not instruct for Harrison and
the same thing is truo today, but
an attempt seems likely to be made to that
| end. Such a resolution has been drawn up
and will be presented, but there seems to be
little chance that it will go through, as the op-
position to such move is pretty decided.
| e As to the delegates-at-large the men men
toned last night-Stanford Newell ex-Gov.
| Pillsbury, Frank A. Day and r. B. Daugherty-
| will probably be chosen. A resolution indoors
| ing the Hatch Washburn anti-option bill has
been drawn up and is in the pocket of Min
| neapolis delegate ready to be sprung on the
| convention. 1t will precipitate a hot fight.
Senator Davis will be the chairman OF the
convention
| WISCONSIN REpUBLIcASs.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 5.-The republican
state convention will open here this evening,
| being called to order by Henry C. Payne.
Although the democratic convection placed
| fuil state ticket in nomination yesterday, the
| republican opponents today will simply elect
delegates to Minneapolis, and the conyen-
will not be held until fall. The delegates
| to the national convention have already been
| agreed upon. They are ex-senator Spooner,
Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Senator Sawyer and
Henry G. Payne. Ex-Gov. Hoard, however,
| will like to be one of the quartet and the
suggestion was made today that Payne should
( withdraw in his favor. This, however, ne is
| not likely to do. Hoard will make no contest
for the honor.
