President Harrison's denomination at MIN
neapolis Is . Foregone Conclusion.
epecisl TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, May 3.-There will be s9S
delegates to the national Republican con-
veution at Minneapolis; there will. there
fore, be required TO nominate the Repub-
lican candidate for the presidency an even
$50 votes. 1t has been q question until to-
day whether President Harrison will 60 TO
that convention with enough delegates in
structed in his favor to nominate him on
the first ballot. 1t is conceded by his op-
ponents that If he does there will be an end
to all contest against him; if he does not.
there will be q scramble In which President
Harrison will take no part. because his at
titude has always been against seeking
denomination unless it came to him - .
natural and voluntary reward for the con-
spicuous merit Of his administration. De-
spite this dignified attitude of the Presi-
dent some OF his friends here
have kept careful account Of
the results of the election Of
delegates to the national convention by
both district and State conventions. A
summary of this count was published yes
then there have been some important
changes. but the figures, as kept by the
Presidents friends. indicate that bis re-
nomination is absolutely assured. 1t is to
be remembered that many delegates have
been elected without instructions. who. ct
the same time. can be counted for Presi.
dent Harrison. In many cases these dele
gates have written personal letters here,
declaring their allegiance to the President
even without instructions from their con-
ventions. This private and personal IN
formation does not, however. enter into
the final count Of the delegates thus
far chosen. as kept by the friends
of the President. The number
OF delegates already chosen and
instructed to vote for denomination is 500,
these have absolute instructions to vote for
q denomination of President Harrison. To
this total there is to be added the number
of delegates who have privately indicated
their allegiance to the President. These
include many uninstructed delegates who
say they are prepared to vote for Presidents
Harrison In convention. even should tho
leaders of their party in their States wish
to rally them under the standard of an
other candidate. These delegates are
known to the friends of the President and
hail from widely-scattered States and
Territories ranging from Arizona to West
Virginia. The total of this summary Of
the Presidents strength for denomination,
from all directions, as given out by his
friends. is 5t3 delegates, or sixty-three
more than is needed for o denomination.
