governed by the rules of the last pre-
ceding Republican convention. The
call of roll Of the States for members
OF the various committees was then
begun. A member Of the Alabama
delegation said that the contest in Ala
bama had justboen settled and he asked
that the State bo passed until the d le-
gates could hold a conference. This was
agreed to, and then each State, as it
was called, announced through it's chair
man the members it had chosen for SER
vice on the committees. When the

full committee last night ratified the
action of the subcommittee in the Mis-
sissippi, South Carolina and Alabama
contested election cases. In the last
named vigorous but unsuccessful fight
was made.
The morning opened murky, and the
tired politicians were slow in assembling
around the headquarters. The situation
is unchanged since midnight, when
Blaine was gaining little. At the
Harrison headquarters Gen. Kitchener,
of Indiana, was laying out plans for the
work of the day. 1t Is apparent that the
efforts of the Harrison men at present
are principally devoted to holding in
line the Southern vote, which has shown
some signs Of weakening, and to keep
ing true to their assurances delegates
from Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and other
States where the Blaine sentiment has
been rampant, and where there are some
delegates vino, but for their instructions,
would be inclined to again follow their
old leader.
Griffin, ex-secretary of state OF In
diana, speaking for the Harrison people,
expressed undiminished confidence in
the denomination OF the President He
declared that 1t was Harrison against
the field aud asserted that the anti-ad-
ministration, realizing they could not
beat Harrison with Blaine alone were
trying to bring out Cullom to divide the
strength OF the President in Illinois;
Rusk to cut into the President in the
Badger State; Alger to capture the
doubtful votes in Michigan, and Nc
Kinley to swing the Ohio votes in line.
Griffin was informed that Blaine claimed
that the Mckinley movement was
started by the Harrison people. He
said that was untrue and that the Presi
dent would be the only man the Harri-
son people would bring up.
General Kitchener was in consultation
with Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, and
the Missouri delegation and others at
o'clock this morning for the purpose of
keeping the lines in the Southwest in.
tact. A visit to some of the delegations
shows that the President is stronger on
a direct vote between the South and
Blaine than he is on the indirect propo-
sitions, such as the selection OF chair
man, organization of the committees or
motions of a preliminary nature.
Men who are naturally Blaine men,
but are instructed for Harrison, feel at
liberty on these indirect propositions to
vote according to their personal wishes.
Some of them find the instructions irk-
some and there is strong movement on
foot on the part of the anti administra-
ton people to convince the doubtful
men that circumstances have changed
so as to relieve the binding force of the
instructions. Some Of the delegates are
little inclined to listen to these argu-
ments, and are not unwilling to be con.

wrong side and violate their instructions

AT 80 a. M. the convention hall pre-
sented decidedly lively appearance,
with the animated groups eagerly dis
cussing the outlook. On the floor,
moving briskly about the delegates,
was the striking gray-bearded figure of
Blaine's particular friend, Congressman
Hit, of Illinois. Chairman Clarkson,
trim and sprightly, was seated mod
estly in an elegant chair on the plat

emily in excellent spirits. The FIRST
applause Of the convention was when,
at ten minutes to noon, Gov. McKin-

and starting toward his place in the
OHIO delegation. The rapture with
which spectators and delegates clapped
their hands, stamped and shouted for
Ohio's governor, and then crowded
around him to shake hands seemed

cial 1.-The Blaine mon OF the Now York
delegation started in last night in dead
earnest to whoop up the man from
Maine. About thirty ofsthem got to ..
gether and went on missionary tour
among the other delegations. They were
headed by Messrs. Burlcigh, Fassett
and Erwin. They just went about to
show how it was that Harrison could
not be elected without the votes of New
York State and why he probably could
not get the vote of that State.
Senator Edmund OConnor, of Binr-
hamton, did good deal OF the talking
for the missionaries. Here are some Of
the arguments that he poured into the
ears OF the Arkansas delegation late to
night.
The question is, Who is the man to
carry New York State? You cannot
elect Republican President without
tho State OF New York. Your duty 8 to
nominate the man who can win. We can
win with Blaine. We can't win with
Harrison. We must use man who can
draw from the Democrats. There is not
man who can do that except Blaine.
1--WE believe Harrison is entitled to
the confidence and affection Of the great
mass OF the party; but at the same time
we believe that because of some things
that he is not responsible for he is weak
OF the State OF New York. He is weak
In his own party and cannot draw from

don't mean the human inhabitants, for
in Kansas they are as good and honest
sons Of toll as can be found in America
but the centipedes! They are legion.
The dugout in which I spent that first
night was boarded up with raw lumber
and it had shrunk in that dry region
near the Colorado line. This left cracks
from half an inch TO an inch wide be-
tween the boards. In order to keep the
dirt from sitting through, newspapers
had been pasted all over the walls and
ceiling. This made excellent highways
for the centipedes which in that region
grow to length of six inches. Crawl
ing along the tightly-stretched paper at
the dead of night, their hundred feet
made grewsome noise, and this, COM
bined with the howl of the coyotes,
kept me awake nearly all the night I
simply tucked the bedclothes tight
around my head and waited in cold
