THE SABBATH IGNORED.
The sanctity of the American Sabbath
was sacred to no man today. In the mad
whirlpool Of political affairs men forgot
their Christian faith and remembered
only the political creed. They forgot
their Savior and worshiped at the
shrine of political idols. While minis
ters in neighboring churches were
leading In prayer, the corridors
of the various hotels were filled
with seething masses of humanity
cheering and counter cheering for Har
rison and Blaine. The excitement has
continued all day and the political en-,
thusiasm hourly increases. It has been
day OF kaleidcscopic changes and it is
difficult indeed to measure the true
political sentiment of the two great fac.
tions into which the party is divided
The administration element ie strong in
leadership. The full force Of sentiment
in connection with Blaine's resignation
has been expended and to close OBJ.
server it is apparent that Harrison's
forces are as strong as they we're foul
hours ago. The Blaine people say that
when the decisive battle comes the
Blaine enthusiasm will carry everything
before it and will nominate the dis.
tinguished son of Maine on the first
ballot.
ARRANGEMENTS AT THE HALL.
1t is thought the audience which will
attend Mondays concert will be the
most interesting congregation of per.
sons that will ever have assembled in
this country. The convention building
will be equipped with restaurant and
diverse commercial facilities for the
comfort of delegates and newspaper
men, and for the rapid transmission OF
news.
The city is we'll crowded tonight and
there is considerable difficulty in OBJ
tanning suitable accommodations. The
delegates, however, are provided for.
LADY DELEGATE.
Mrs. G. G. Carlton, one of the women
delegates from Wyoming, was the re.
cipient of numerous calls today from
party leaders, and received numerous
congratulations for the triumph of her
sex in obtaining political recognition in
the west.
Senator Pettigrew OF South Dakota ar
rived from Washington and is an en-
thusiastic admirer of Blaine. His utter
ances today created little short of a
sensation.
PETTIGREw SPEAKS PLAINLY.
81 am not surprised" said he, "at
the resignation of Blaine. The only
thing that is singular is that q man of
Blaine's disposition should have go long
remained in intimate association with
such men as Tracy, Miller and Wana-
maker. Harrison and his little advisers
strove to foment discord with insignifi-
cant Chile. 1t was Blaine who bore the
insults and ISLANDERS of his associates
and their tools because he declined to
lend himself to their lingo efforts for
the denomination OF their chief, as you
remember, during the pendency of the
Bering sea negotiations. l am advised
that Blaine never was in better health
than during that incident, but the
president, with bis small envy g. the
great secretary, took the negotiations
out OF his hands, where they legiti-
mately belonged, and the report was
given out that the secretary was SICK"
THE KITCHEN CABINET.
"He was only sick OF being insulted by
the chief and his kitchen cabinet.
Whatever excellence there has been in
Harrison's administration is traceable
to Blaine and Rusk. The mistakes and
weaknesses that occasioned the political
OF 1890 belong to Harrison and
his errand boys. He is the most signal
example in history of class president.
l have no doubt as to the result. The
convention will honor itself
by calling Blaine to lead the Republican
hosts in the campaign OF victory"
CHAUNcEY DEPEw EMBARRASSED.
The meeting of Chauncey M. Depew
and Emmons Blaine today on thesfield
of battle was a picturesque sight. 1t
occurred in the dining-room of the West
hotel and was witnessed by hundreds OF
less distinguished guests. Depew could
scarcely have been more embarrassed ii
come sensational move had really been
made. The famous after-dinner orator
actually stammered and Redeemed as he
awkwardly extended his hand to young
Blaine and inquired after the welfare Of
Blaine senior. Platt seemed greatly to
enjoy the discontinue Of the usually
polished railway magnate. After pass
ing few hasty and irrelevant common
place remarks, Depew excused himself
and dropped into vacant chair beside
Murat Halstead, and out of the sight o.
hundreds of inquisitive eyes levelled
from all parts OF the room.
A FRIEND OF HARRISON.
Ex-Attorney-Gener Mitchner of In
diana says the reaction today has beer
distinctly in favor Of the president. HI
says he can name four men in one state
who are claimed for Blaine, that have
been brought to support Harrison. Thi
is only one incident in many simila
changes constituting an almost genera
movement.
THE cALIF0RNIANs ARRIVE.
The California train reached this city
at S O'Clock, and was met by fambear
club. The delegation marched to head
quarters waving red, white and blu
plumee, and arousing great enthusiasm
