NUMBER the Harrison managers officially
announce tonight that their chief will re-
ceive the votes Of $50, while the Blaine
leaders, though scorning to descend TO de-
tails, maintain with lofty confidence that
their candidate will receive at least three
ffths Of the votes Of the convention on the
first ballot.
A BITTER FEELING BEING ENGENDERED.
To casual political observer one thing is
certain, and that is that bitter feeling is be-
ing engendered in the ranks with every
passing hour, and that with Mr.. Blaine and
President Harrison in tho field the result OF
the tenth republican national convention,
Whatever the result may be, will leave be-
| hind it poignant regrets, bitter disappoint-
| ments and a hard feeling of hostility
toward the successful candidate. II is all
that rather than the usual sentiment for
favorite sons that gives rise tonight
to all the rumors of dark horses and oom-
promise candidates. There is no doubt
that the desire for third candidate for
man unwedded to and unidentified with
either Of these political factions, is growing
in the public mind and against this growing
sentiment, both factions feel that they
must now compete. The name most fre-
quently mentioned among the list of dark
horses is that Of William Mckinley, Jr.
ARRIVAL OF THE COLUMBIA CLUB.
big event of the day, from spectacular
standpoint. was the arrival and reception OF
the Columbia Club OF Indianapolis.
With light gray hats and long linen busters,
preceded by stunning Minneapolis escort
In scarlet. The long line OF CoIumbians
came swinging up the street from the
depot to the West hotel, with bands
playing and a jauuty confidence in
their manner that was better than barrels
| of tonic for the Harrison legions already ON
the ground. Cheers met them at every
street corner. The Columbians presented a
| splendidly disciplined appearance as they
marched straight into the thickest OF the
fray-the rotunda Of the West hotel--and
proceeded to take possession of every-
thing in sight. Around the solid white
phalanx formed by the distinctive hats
and busters OF the Columbians surged a
black -hatted, dark clothed mob of dele-
gates and camp followers yelling like In
dians, the uproar alternately sounding
loudest for President Harrison and then
| drowned momentarily by shrieks for Mr..
Blaine. The Columbia Club members held
their ground In the rush of friends and foes
and struck up rouslng campaign song.
PETTIGREw FOR BLAINE.
Senator PettIgrew of South Dakota has
arrived here fresh from Washington and is
an enthusiastic admirer of Mr.. Blaine.
His public utterances to-day have created -
little short OF q sensation. 81 am not at all
surprised" +" said he, 'at the resignation of
MIR. Blaine from President Harrison's oabi-
net The only thing that seems at all
singular to me Is that gentleman OF MIR.
Blaine's disposition should have so long
remained In close and intimate
association with such men as Secretaries
Miller and Tracy and Wanamaker It was
President Harrison and his llrtle advisers
who strove to foment the discord with poor
little, Insignificant Chile 1t was Mr. Blaine
who constantly bore the insults and slanders
OF his associates and their tools, because he
resolutely declined to lend himself 20 their
jingo efforts for the denomination OF their
chief.
THE BERrNG SEA NEGOTIATIONS.
"You remember Mr.. Blaine was reported
sick during the tendency of the BerinR sea
negotiations. / happen to tie advised that
Mr.. Blaine was never In better health in
his life than during that incident. But the
President, with small envy of the fame OF
his great secretary, took the negotiations
out OF Mr.. Blaine's hands, where they le-
Ultimately belonged. The secretary turned
the entire matter over 10 his excellency OF
this excellent administration, and the report
was given out that the Secretary Of Stat1
was sick.
"Well he was sick-sick of his company:
sick Of being insulted by his chief and his
kitchen cabinet.
"Whatever excellence there has been In
President Harrisons administration is trace
able to Mr.. Blaine and Secretary Rusk.
the political earthquake OF 1890 belonged by
right to President Harrison and his errand
boys. He is the most signal example in his
tory Of a class President.
II have no doubt as to the result. The
Minneapolis convention Of 1892 will honor
itself by calling James G. Blaine to lead the
republican hosts in the campaign Of VIC
tory"
CHANGES NOT so NUMEROUS.
The talk around the headquarters Of a
number of the delegations which have ar
rived here shows that the changes as q re-
suit OF the resignation from the cabinet OF
Mr.. Blaine have not been so numerous
as many persons had expected. Indeed, in
many delegations the reports thus far do
not indicate any change. In others, nota-
bly, South Dakota and Texas, the changes
have been marked. A great many dele-
gates, however, are TO be put in the doubts
full list and nothing can be predicted of
these men, as they are awaiting the incom-
ing of other delegates. perhaps a majority
OF whom have yet to arrive, before an
nouncing themselves definitely.
The political chess board is being worked
with skill and vigor Notwithstanding this Is
Sunday. The Harrison people are more
confident than ever tonight and claim ad-
ditions from several unexpected sources. In
all they maintain that the result Of to-day's
arrivals and changes Of views on the part
OF uDiustruoted delegates give them a gain
CT from fifteen TO twenty over last night.
WARNER MILLER FOR BLAINE.
Ex-senator Warner Miller Of New York
at midnight made the following statements
declaring for Mr.. Blaine, the choice of a
majority OF the New York republicans: II
have arrived here after six weeks travel
over tho country, in which time have not
been able to confer with my friends in New
York. Since coming here / have consulted
with as many of the delegates as | could
possibly meet In the short time have been
here. l find large majority of the dele
cations are decidedly in favor
OF Mr.. Blaine as representing
their constituents / respect il as the
voice Of the republicans of the state of New
York, and | will support Mr.. Blaine in the
convention" This is the first official an
nouncemeDt from Mr.. Miller since the OPEN
ing OF the campaign. and is regarded here
as OF great significance and likely to Inhu-
ence the action of the convention to a con-
siderable extent. 1t 10 said that this
gives Mr.. Blaine at least 46
votes from New York in the
convention, leaving not more than 26 votes
for President Harrison, and IL is claimed by
the anti-administration men that at least
four OF these 90 votes should properly be
put In the doubtful column. Mr.. Miller
