Dcpcw:
The Sabbnth's sober reflection and kilograms
pouring in upon the delegates IRON all parts OF
the country have had IL remarkably clarifying
effect on the political atmosphere. Tho force in
the convention may be- divided into those who
think 1t Is best to renominute the president,
those who believe that the nomination OF Mr..
Blaine would give greater strength to tho ticket
than any other nomination which could be
made. those who believe that another ticket
should be nominated and those who
are in favor of beating Harrison at
all hazards for the sole purpose OF beating
HARRISON. The first effect oi Mr.. Blainc's
resignation from the cabinet was to create a
universal belief in the minds OF the delegates
that it was IL declaration oi war. This was fol-
lowed by IL sentiment III which about one tifth
OF the convention strongly participated that
some one who could be counted friendly to both
should DO nominated. All the elements favor
able to the defeat OF the president were deriving
great hone from this movement increasing in
