President Harrison, seven for Mr.. Blaine
and two for Mckinley or some other
dark horse. In that prediction Senator
Day, of Martin, was placed in the
Blaine column and eX-CongreSsman S.
P. Snider in the administration ranks.
These two gentlemen changed positions
yesterday, Capt. Snider yielding to the
Blaine sentiment in Minneapolis, al
though at heart strong Harrison man.
Senator Days reaS Orls, as expressed by
himself. are interesting, and show that
the Blaine resignation is proving to
certain extent boomerang.
us it true that you lave come over to
the Harrison side?" was asked Senator
Day.
''Yes. SIR" was the answer. 81 was
for Blaine up to the day he resigned
from the cabinet, and | have been for
Harrison ever since. In my opinion,
that letter was bomb in our ranks,
and, coming. as it did. at time when
we need harmony above all things, it
manifested disregard for the interests
OF the. Republican party which was as
9ifteserYed as it was unexpected. The
Republican party has been, and even
now would be willing to lay all things
served better treatment at his hands.
shall support PresGen Harrison now,
although | had all along expected to
vote for Mr.. Blaine"
Gov. Yale, of WinOna, is another del
egate who had expected to 20 to Mr..
Blaine, who was 7diSgHSted by Mr..
BlaiRe's change of front, and he is now
firmly anchored in, the administration
column. The position of all the dele
gates was revealed in caucus of the
delegation held in the Lumber EX-
chance, beginning at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon and lasting until nearly
6. the situation was discussed with
warmth by both sides, and at least two
of the delegates weakened before the
Blaine shot and shell poured upon them
by Bob Dunn, the impulSiYe Prince
ton editor.
The Minnesota politicians in Mime
sp0liS had little time to devote to any
thing outside their own state yesterday.
The call for meeting of the eighteen
delegates OF this state was made several
days ago, and, owing to the contest that
was on for the place on the national
committee now filed by r. g. Evans,
and the further fact that the Blaine
men were determined to bring nearly
all their brother delegates over, OH the
ground that this is a Blaine state, all
SIDES were huStling and working. The
friends of Bob Evans were all but
certain that the majority of the dele
gates would be for him for national
committeeman. but they were made I'M
easy by the confidence of George
Thompson and the other workers and
hackers of Stanford Newell. This inter-
est i'll the meeting insured full attend
ance, and at 3 O'clock every one of
MInneSOta's eighteen was present.
he doors were closed and not even a
Fgeant-at-armS was admitted to guard
the door, Editor Thompson and Judge
Newell taking turns as Senhies. OF
course the first thing to be done was to
select chairman of the delegation.
Without any ado ballot was taken,
which resulted as follows:
Ex-Gov. PillsbIry. 12
Ex-COngressman DunnelI elI.. )
EX-GoY Yale. -..-.. Observation-Disclosures. 1
As EX-Gov. Piilsbury is a Blaine man
and Nh. DuHneA a follower of Mr.. Har-
TiSon, the impression prevailed in the
Blaine quarters that their election of a
Minneapolis man was Blaine victory,
but this was not the case. Mr.. Dun
nell was not a candidate, and the most
enthusiastic supporters of Mr.. Pills
bury were administration men; in fact,
the-YoteS cast for Mr.. Dunneu were
purely complimentary and no line was
drawn there.
rIhe election of a chairman out of the
Way.the new official was authorized and
directed to appoint a committee of five
to select men for the various positions to
which Minnesota is entitled in the ma
tional convention. Of this committee
Mr.. DHRDeH was made chairman. and
fbR of
SON, Hall, Hilliard and Shell. While
this committee was fixing up its report
the delegates took up the question of a
candidate to be voted for in the con-
VentiOn.
Delegate r. &. Dunn, of the Sixth dis
trict, made strong Blaine speech, and
criticized several OF his colleagues for
their eSpousal of Gen. Harrison's cause.
Minnesota. he declared, is a Blaine
state, and her delegates would not cor
rectly represent her unless they voted
solidly for the Man from Maine.
Several other speeches were made,
George Thompson, of the Dispatch;
Gov. PillSbury, Ex-COngreSsman d. S.
Hall and several others speaking on the
subject. Judge Stanford Newell boldly
advocated Mr. Harrison and showed
that he has not changed views regard
ing Mr.. Blaine since 1854. The strong
Blame talk had its effect upon Capt.
Snider and one Or two others, but when
the vote was taken, and President Har-
IiSon received just half the delegation,
the Blaine men were tired. They had
been claiming all but four for the
PIumed Knight.
The election of national committee
man was put over for TWO DAYS by
unanimous consent to await the result
of the convention. aS some of the dele
cation were Inclined TO think that the
Ipmination may affect this matter. In
ease of Mr.. Harrison's defeat it will
either have no effect or both Newell
and Evans will be turned down, for
both are Harrison mea. The result of
