lFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
MINNEApoLIs, MINN., June by the close
OF the convention to-day it was made appar-
ent that Harrtson's men were in the sulks
They had been outvosed in the National
Committee, and the large following they had
ciphered upon from the Southern States
seemed liable to go from them. Nothing was
left but to make fight in the convention on
Wednesday against the committees. As
left the hall of the convention l met a Della
warian who told me that four in Delaware
had gone over to Blaine, whereas Harrison
counted on at least four and probably six
from that State. My informant, a quiet man
of character, said that Delaware was now in
favor of third candidate on grounds of
benefit to the party, the controversy be-
tween Blaine and Harrison threatening to
be carried into the next campaign. He in
quired whether Mr.. Allison was not as re-
spectacle a quantity as could be found in
the West
The action OF fseveral of the States thus early
commencing to form a nucleus for a break
away is observed with covert satisfaction
by men from larger States, who do not like
so much anger.
Mckinley as a Third Quantity.
heard the son of John C. New say that
he saw no place for third quantity unless
it would he Mckinley, Of Ohio. Not improb-
ably Mckinley is the residuary legatee of
the Harrison men. If they shall pull their
man out, while Allison, Sherman and Rusk
are talked of on the other side. An idea
exists, based on what 1 do not know, that
Blaine is only in the race to compel
m alienation in the party leadership, being
satisfied with neither the reciprocity nor
the gratitude he has found in Harrison. MIR.
Allison is fortunately situated to retain the
Northwestern States, while he has a good
hold in the East, and though a protectfonist,
has never been q violent one.
The Iowa delegation, now held in Fosters
hand for Harrison, could make great hole
III Harrison's hopes by turning over to
Allison, and this might be enough to COM
pei New York, Pennsylvania, ETC., to go the
same course Allison is of Pennsylvania
Scotch-Irish stock, born in Ohio, and re-
moved to Iowa, and by his marriage and
mother-in-law he is of New England, affilia-
tions with old Senator Grimes-the Grimes
who was very late Republican.
Why Clarkson Hates Allison.
Mr.. Clarkson is out with Mr. Allison upon
the charge that Allison did not "dust" fast
enough to put Clarkson in the Cabinet
where Harrison was not ready to welcome
him. The Pigment is invented that Allison
allowed himself to be talked about for Secre-
tary of State, and thus destroyed Mr.. Clark
son in the bud.
The crime of having others nominate rs
out OF their admiration for something is get
ting to be next to high treason in this coun-
try. Blaine is suffering from the indiscre-
tion OF several millions of people who do not
mention his chiefs name first. OF his chief
that was conclude with the nation that as
things now stand Blaine may be in the cit
adel where Harrison was until yesterday,
and that great deal of time will be required
to get him out.
What Gath Heard and Thinks
While it is possible that the conven-
ton will adjourn Wednesday, some think it
may be prolonged to suit the ambition of
Harrison until Friday or even later. =.
Mr.. Platt said at the close of the conven-
tion to-day, and wrote it out for private
telegram: eve are in the very best position,
and are confident of victory"
1 heard little mention of the name OF
Robert Lincoln as an alternative for the
present bear fight
How strange it might be to see Chauncey
Depew succeed his friend Harrison rs a can
didate here brought forward.
Ii Tom Reed had not growled so often at
Blaine how he would recreate at present in
being what Sam Cox called Eugene Hale in
the earlier years-"Blaine's Little Bub."
The close escape of Reed from being
Elisha to Mr.. Blaine's Elijah is warning to
ali mothers who expect to raise Presidents
Of the United States to have them born deaf
and dumb and deprived of writing ma
terials. GATH
