Senator JudSOn La MOure. of Penn
bina, n. D., came to the city yesterday
and registered at the Merchants. He
saws that the North Dakota delegates

the wishes of the people and the legis-
lature, which in special session passed a
resolution Friday indorSing Blaine and
requesting the delegates TO vote for his
Nomination.
I I
CYRUS Wellington, the Democratic
war horse. saws that neither Blaine nor
Harrison can carry Minnesota If the
Democrats act as discretion suggests.
He thinks 1t would be exceedingly I'M
polite for the Democrats to refuse to
combine with the Alliance party. He
would favor giving the farmers the
state government and legislature, and
let the Democrats take the electoral
ticket for its share in fusion.

P.D. Hastain, a prominent attorney.
and James O'Brien. business man. OF
Sedalia, Mo-, are convention enthusi-
asts who were in st. Paul yesterday.
They saw that the delegation from Mis-
souri, is yeIy much divided, and that
some of the delegates will vote for
Blaine, Notwithstanding the fact that
they were instructed to vote for Harri-
son.
A quartette of ''Hoosiers" came down
from Minneapolis Yesterday to look
over st. Paul. They were Gen. NJ. Rob-
erts. of Lawrenceburg, Claud Chambers.
W. J. Henly and T. AbercrOmbie, of
Rushyille. The two former are dele
gates, the others are Harrison boomers.
All expressed surprise when told that
Blaine had resigned. Mr.. Roberts Oh
served that Mrs. Blaine seems to be
running the Blaine campaign. He
thought the action of the secretary
means declaration of contest for the
nomination, and would not help him.
In his opinion Harrison will have
enough delegOteS to nominate him on
the first ballot, and the apparent du-
plicity of the secretary will lose him
support.
Delegate George Thompson was at
his desk in the Dispatch Office when he
heard of Blaine;s resignation. He i'm
mediately donned his hat and started
for Minneapolis, spreading the news
and beaming with joy as he went. He
declined to say whether or not he WIZ
be for Blaine in preference to Mckinley.
Stanford Newell was asked what effect
the resignation OF, Blaine will have on
the Minnesota delegation, but he re-
fused to say anything. He was just on
his way to Minneapolis to find out the
sentiment of his fellow delegates in
view of the new situation.

I
Fred E. Lee, of Dowagiac, Mich., a
Fourth district delegate, and Mrs. Lee,
have taken rooms at the Merchants
MIR. Lee SAYS that the Michigan delega-
ton had many talks on the train as to
who they should support for the nOmi-
nation. The delegates were practically
instructed for Harrison. They were
chosen soon after the letter OF Blaine
declining the nomination. He expressed
the view that they would not have been
instructed if they had been chosen
later. Part of the delegation was fol
Blaine and would have disregarded
their instructions. He would vote fol
Harrison, notwithstanding the fact that
Blaine has become an active candidate,
He stated, further, that the Michigan
people did not think Gen. Alger would
be a possible candidate this time and nc
effort was made to secure delegation
favorable to him.
