THE SOUTH DAKOTA CASE.
Harrison Men Claim the Delegates
Must Vote for Ben.

hdEEISOH OkdAnl tflC
Must Vote for Ben.
Gov. Mellette and Delegate Lightner,
Of South Dakota, are strong Harrison
men, and have had no small amount of
work to hold the eight votes, or as
many of them as possible. in line for
the administration. The Blaine men
claim that the Endorsement of Harrison
was made when the impression was
general that Mr.. Blaine was mot in the
race, and that, therefore, the delegates
are free to go to Blaine. 1t is tolerably
certain that this is the way at least six
of the delegates will construe the reSo-
lutions adopted at the recent cOnven-
tion. although Delegate Lightner thinks
otherwise.
On this same subject. Gov. Mellette,
of South Dakota. who is a Harrison
man, this morning said:
The South Dakota delegates are in
Structed for Harrison. There is some
opposition to Harrison personally, per-
haps. and whether the instructions will
control remains to be seen. The dele
gates were instructed after great con-
trOversy OH that very point, and this is
something that is not generally under
stood. There is no question about the
purpose of the convention. The com-
mittee on resolutions reported the Ordi-
nary Endorsements of the Harrison ad-
ministration. There was a fierce con-
resulted in the resolutions being
with instructions to report a
resolution favoring Harrison for
a second term, and SO instructing
the delegates. The committee amended
its report and reported resolution that
the delegates support Harrison. L be-
lieve the word instruct was not used,
but the resolution stated that it was the
the sentiment of the convention that the
delegates should use all their influence
for Harrison. 1t means the same thing
exactly. The convention had power to
instruct. 1t was state convention. and
was not divided into congressional dis
tricts. 1t spoke for the state, and had
the power to give instructions to the
delegates. The question raised that the
word instruct was not used, is a pure
technicality."
''Do you think any of the delegates
will refuse to act under those lnstruc-
tiOnS?"
II am not advised. l am satisfied
that not more than two of the eight will
lHC luSIl IO OdltthSO
understand what it means to go against
the sentiment Of the people of South
Dakota in a matter of this kind"
This controversy in regard to the
action of the South Dakota delegation
absorbs nearly all of the political dis
cussion this morning, as it is likely to
be the first instance when Blaine men
will bolt Harrison instructions in order
to vote for the magnetic secretary of
state. The Blaine leaders are trying
hard to effect this break in the South
Dakota delegation in the hope that a
precedent being once established dele
gates from other instructed delegations
will break to Blaine on the argument
that Harrison instructions were only
obtained on the supposition that Blaine
would not be candidate, and that the
strong Blaine sentiment in their state
will now justify them in ignoring in
structions given under misapprehen-
sion.

LOOKS LIKE PORTER

For Temporary Chairman, Though
CIarkson Wants a ColOred Man.
Gen. Horace Porter, of New York,
Will probably be temporary chairman.
1t looked as though if friends of Harri-
son should decide to make the issue
with the anti-Harrison men ON tempo
rary craftsmanship, John NJ. Langston,
the colored eX-representative from Vir-
ginia, would take the gavel from the
hands of Mr.. Clarkson when the con-
vention is organized next Tuesday.
Mr.. Clarkson believes it good policy
to put a representative colored man in
the chair. He has precedent for it in
the election of Lynch, of Mississippi,
to be temporary chairman of the con-
vention of 1884. Mr.. Lynch was elected
in opposition to the recommendation of
the national committee, which had put
uon. Powell Clayton, OF Arkansas, for
ward. The friends of Harrison were
talking of placing in nomination Gen.
Horace Porter, if the national commit
tee should recommend the selection of
LangStOn, but many of the Harrison
leaders tho light it would be poor pol
icy to precipitate at the organization
of the convention the contest which was
expected to come later, so they started
out to work up the candidacy of Gen.
Porter in the national committee, and
at conference held this evening they
figured out majority of six for their
candidate. 1t was decided that if there
should be change in the situation to-
day, and Langston should be named by
the national committee, the result
would be accepted as final, and no fight
would be made in the convention; but
the indications are that the Harrison
men have gained their first victory, and
that Gen. Horace Porter will be the tenn
porary chairman.

set off by a white mOustache. Mr.. War

the port of New Orleans. That means
that he is Harrison man. He is one
of the 110 ofTiceholders who are already
in attendance on the convention, de-
spite that order of President Harrison's
telling all the federal appointees to re-

"You are a Harrison man?"
"YeS. sir; | am, sir. What else should

dent. He can poll 10000 more votes in

He is the man our people want, from
the fact that they have beaten the let

They never could have won that fight

they want Harrison"

With that the ex-governor walked
through the crowd IN the direction of a
small party of Harrison enthusiasts,
and was soon deep in hearing more
reasons why the president cannot be
beaten.

that president necessarily weakens
himself, so that when renominated he
is handicapped for the race. Gentlemen
who talk this way should know a little
something of political history.
Jefferson had Is electoral votes at
the first election, and l4S at the second;
Madison received l21 at the first elec-
ton. and 12S the second time; Monroe
received 193 the first, and 222 the second
time; Jackson received 17S at the first
election, and 2l9 the second; Lincoln
1S0 the first time. and 213 the second
time; Grant, who had 2l4 the first e1ec-
ton, had 800 the second time.
"As [ have said six presidents were
reelected; four were defeated-John
Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin
Van Buren and Cleveland. In each of
these four cases there were some par
tlcular reason for defeat. John Quincy
Adams, you will remember, was elected
the first time by combination which
the people thought robbed Jackson of
his rights, and when the people got a
chance they defeated Adams. who had
been elected by the house of representa-
tives. Van Buren, was defeated because
of the special financial trouble that came
upon this country dnring his term.
ClevelaEd's defeat is generally accepted
to have been because of his free trade
message, which turned the country de-
cidedly against him, in addition to the
strength of Gen. Harrison before the
people"

merly a Blaine man, but just now DaskS
IN the sunlight OF administration favor;
consequently he is for Harrison. In
very polite way, he damned the Blaine
crowd and predicted their utter rout
and destruction.
"Mr. Harrison will be nominated" he
said, 'because he is practically the only

the delegates to this convention were

that is President Harrison. The people

He is rather handsome man, tall, with
regular features and heavy mustache
and goatee. He has resided in the
South so long that he has become a
typical Southerner in looks. He served
one term in the United States senate

and has since. been on the national

vention taking any action in the line in

would be simply absurd to do such a

SOUTH DAKOTA PATRONAGE.
Pettigrew Men Are Trying to

Pettigrew Men Are Trying to
Gust Gov. Mellette.
Special to the Globe Z
SIOUX FALLS. 5. D., June 3.-A lively
row has developed in this state over the
Republican national committeeship.
Knives are flashing in the air, and the
Democrats are looking on with COM
placency. Gov. Mellette is now the
member from South Dakota, and for
this reason, and because of his personal
friendship with President Harrison, has
been able to control the bulk of the pat
ronage. This. of course, has CALLED
Senator Pettigrew, who for the past
three years has been unable to reward
his friends or punish his enemies. Pet
tigrew has therefore put up his mau
Friday. Senator A. B. Kittredge, of this
city, for the place. Kittredge has been
working a still hunt, but the matter to-
day leaked out. 1t is said he has the
support of four of the eight delegates.
He wants one more. The one he is
after is Alex johnson, of Watertown, a
Mellette man, but not especially solid
with the governor. Mellette is, of
course, hard after his interests, and the
bitter contest is further widening the
breach between the two factions of the
Republican party in this state. With
Kittredge as national committeeman,
Senator Pettigrew would absolutely
control the patronage in South Dakota
a consummation devoutly to be avoided
by the Mellette crowd.

SECOND TERM ALL RIGHT.

Indiana Men Claim That Renom-
nations Are as Rule Success
full.
Hon. J. K. Gowdy, chairman Of the
Indiana Republican state committee,
looks and talks like prosperous farmer
from Posey county. but he is one of the
best workers President Harrison has.
He is amiable and good-natured to a
high degree. and not even the most ex-
trayagant claims of the opposition are
able to disturb his equanimity. He
takes no stock in the cry against the
second-term proposition, and thinks
that history proves that the presidents
who have been renOmInated have, as
rule, made their stronger runs the sec
Ond time.
"Since Washington" said Mr..
GOwdy, "tnere have been ten cases in
which president has been nominated
for a second term. On six of these oc-
casions he was reelected, and each time
by larger electoral and popular vote
than in his first race. This fact does
away with the statement we see now

THE FORCING PROCESS.
1t Will Be Worked by the Blaine
Cohorts.

John G. New was asked last night
how he regarded the Associated Press
interview with James G. Blaine, in
which Mr.. Blaine said he would write
no more letters. Mr.. New looks at that
interview the same as he has professed
to look upon the ClarksOn letter. He
thinks that Blaine meant what he said
at the time. There is, consequently, no
necessity for further epistolary exercise
on his part. Blaine's letter to Clarkson
put him out of the presidential race and
he will not be candidate.
Other Harrisonians take the same
view of the matter. The Blaine men,
of course, see it in a different light.
Their arguments are also of the stereo-
typed order. Blaine. In the Clarkson
letter, said that he was not a candidate,
and that his name would not be pre-:
sented to the convention. That meant,
the Blaine men argue, that he was not
seeking the nomination, and that he
would not formally consent to his name
being proposed in the convention. If
his friends choose to disregard his
wishes, and force the nomination upon
him, he must accept. They intend to
adopt the forcing process.

HALE SAYS JIM WILL.
The Magnet From Maine in a
passive" State.

Passive" State.
New YORK, June 3.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent telegraphs
his paper as follows:
One of the most significant develop
ments of the Blaine campaign is the
declaration of Senator Eugene Hale, of
Maine. to me today, that Blaine will
certainly accept the nomination.
Senator Hale has been strong friend
of the president, even while the Blaine
movement seemed to be at its height,
and his declarations that Mr.Blaine was
not in the field have given great COM
fort to the president and his friends.
Senator Hale seems at last to feel that
there is no stemming the Blame tide.
| asked him today whether Mr. Blaine
said he would write no more letters be-
fore the Minneapolis convention.
Il don't think" replied Senator Hale,
''that MI Blaine has said anything to
anybody. He is saying nothing. He is
going 10 let things take their course.
He has done everything that he can do
to keep himself out of the nomination.
He meant every word that he wrote
when he penned his letter to Chairman
Clarkson in February last, declaring
LndI HIS IldlH0 SlOuIu uOI D6 pIcSeHleQ
to the convention.
"ThiS action on his pant was followed
by the election of a delegation from
Maine to the national Republican con-
ventiOn that was known to be favorable
to the denomination of President Harri-
son. No stronger evidence could be
furnished by Mr.. Blaine than his letter.
''Mr. Blaine is remaining perfectly
quiet. If he does not communicate
with the convention through some of
his friends he is likely to be nominated
if he has delegates enough to do it. l
think he is entirely Indifferent: whether
he is nominated or not. If the cOnyen-
ton nOminates him he will accept.
There is no question about that. The
only point 10 be considered is whether
he will prevent the convention from
making the effort to nominate him."

LYNCH ON THE GROUND.
His Delegation Is for Harrison,
the Other for Blaine.

Hon. John R. Lynch. the we'll known
temporary chairman of the convention
of 1884, who is now holding an office in
the treasury department, and member
of one of the contesting delegations
from Mississippi, arrived in Minneapolis
Yesterday and lost no time in making
his way to the Harrison headquarters
and assuring the leaders of the admins
tration that his delegation is all right,
while the other fellows are leaning to-
ward the opposition. His version Of
the contest follows:
"A convention was called to meet at
jackson by the state committee, and on
meeting, split. two chairmen presiding
over two conventions in the same hall,
and two delegations being the result.
That appointed by the convention pre-
sided over by the chairman chosen by
the state committee favorS the renomi-
nation of Harrison.
AS to the other delegation, Mr.. Lynch
says:
''lt has leaning against the admins
tration." He added: ''1t is peculiar
circumstance that all of the delegates in
opposition to the denomination of Presi-
dent Harrison in the Southern states,
which are chiefly from Mississippi and
Louisiana, have been selected by the
use of federal patronage"

Senator F. B. Stock bridge, of Mich

man, who frankly confesses that he
knows great deal more about lumber

private car, accompanied by such choice
spirits as Senator Quay, of Pennsyl-

Senator Gallinger. Senator Stockbridge
is rather short, with tendency towards
stoutress. He wears full beard, and
it, like his hair, is silver gray.
''Of course l am for Gen. Alger," he
said with smile. "Dut am not ready
to make any predictions. We some
times think down at Washington that
we have everything nicely arranged,
