Since the arrival of Governor Mckinley,
dark horse talk has suddenly assumed
great proportions. and the name OF

Republican to the Harrison men said
there was q plan on foot TO NOM

settled on the FIRST ballot. The Indiana
people went to Governor Mckinley and
asked him what he would do about the
matter. The governor assured them thar
IL they wished he would rise In the con-
ventiou and ask the delegates from Ohio
not To vote for him. notwithstanding
this ASSURANCE, talk about Mckinley IL
heard everywhere. The dark horse move
ment has brought out the other minor
candidates again. and the talk In political
headquarters Is "Blaine or Harrison on
the first ballot or dark horse" Senator
Cullom has heard the muttering Of the
storm and his lightning rod is in position.
Word has gone out among his friends
that il Harrison is not nominated on the
first balloe he would like to have the
Illinois vote thrown to him on the second.
Out OF this probably arose the story that
Senator Cullom had letter In his pocket

The Allison and Rusk booms gathered
strength, and even the Alger boom was
galvanized into something like activity.
Harrison aud Anti-Harrisos.
One Of the most dramatic and sensa.
tional episodes Of the gathering OF the
clans was precipitated by the arrival of an
anti-Ilarrison Indiana delegation from
Fort Wayne. headed by II. G. Mcdonald,
wealthy politician Of that city, $xho op-

OF some personal grievauces. Mcdonald
came ia ahead OF the Indiana Blaine club.
which he hal brought on a special train
at his own expense. They bore aloft q
picture Of the man from Maine On their
arrival at the West. Mcdonald proceeded
to hang the picture alongside the Harri-
son pictures outside the Indiana head
quarters. This bold defiance exasperated
the llarrisonians beyond measure Rhody
Shiel, In particular, lost control of HIM
self. and from the fringe Of the crowd
shouted TO somebody to ''cut the rag
down."
Others urged that Mcdonald and his
people be thrown out and were dared to
make the fret move In that direction.
Half dozen people made dash for the
banner, but at this moment 1t was placed
In the hands e . little girl, who wss
hoisted over tho heads of the crowd and 90

contingent had by this time received TO

q big mistake had been made. raised
shouts Of Peace" but the blood OF the

Malone IL for Blaine.
The Virgin Ia delegation came in on q
special Pullman Sunday. Among them
were General Malone and his son, Butler.
General Malone is strongly anti Harrison
and says: by the eternal. Blaine Is the
man." The delegation will hold a meet
ing for organization. and the main ques-
tion to consider IL shall the unit rule pre-
vail. At present ths delegation stands Is
certain for Blaine aud o for Harrison, or
non-committal General Malone Is at the
head Of the delegation and will be made
chairman. General Malone, In q short
talk with United Press reporter, said:
There will be no complimentary votes
cast; the lines have been too closely
drawn. There will be but one ballot aud
but two candidates-Blaine and Harrison.
The talk about dark horses is ridiculous;
neither side can waste time or votes In
complimenting favorite sons" "Who will
get the nomination. was asked. II
think Blaine" answered the general.
Blaine Gains In Ohio.
The chief surprise has been the unex

rison would get nearly three feprtha It

Foraker delegates the following Of Blaine.
Therefore the contest over the selection
Of the members Of the national committee
resolved itself into a contest of the Blaine
and Harrison forces In the delegation. The
result was a victory for the Harrison
people. by a surprisingly close vote OF q
to 81, Mr. Hahn being elected. Governor
Mckinley was made chairman Of the dele
cation.
The Blaine forces were reinforced BY the
arrival Of large contingent from Cincin-
natl, headed by the Young Mems Blsine
club Of that city, 200 strong, tall, nne
looking men In black suits, white hats
and carrying red, white and blue um-
brellas which attracted a great deal Of at

crowd. representing half dozen states,
