NEBRASKA SOLID FOR HARRISON.
The Nebraska delegation held n long ses-
sion at noon. and organized by electing
John l.. Webster. of Omaha, chairman.
After q thorough discussion of the
situation. it was decided to obey
the instructions of the State con-
vention to the letter and cast the
twenty votes of the State solid for Har-
rison. Mr. Webster has been known as q
Blaine man. but. after the meeting was
over he announced that he would vote
with the others. In this delegation there
is very warm struggle between Edward
Rosewater. of the Omaha Bee. aud
l.. ID. Richards for the place on
the national committee. This matter will
not be determined until after the conven-
tion meets. The most notable parsonage in
the delegation is the venerable Justice A.
NJ. Cobb. of the Nebraska Supreme Court
Il was an original Harrison man."
said Judge Cobb. "and the instruc-
tfons of our State convention wore in
thorough accord with my views. Presi-
dent Harrison has gwen us a fiawIess ad-
ministrati0n and deserves the confidence of
the whole people. Carry the corn-belt
Ststes9 He did before. and he can do il
again by a larger majority"
New Hampshire's delegates came In oc
the same train that bore all the New Eng
land people. They promise five votes to
the Harrison column.
And now what of New York! A meeting
attended by about half Of the delegation.
was held this afternoon, at which ad-
dresses were made by Burlegh. O'Brien
and Barnes of New York. O'Brien spoke for
Harrison. and Burleigh and Barnes against
him. They declared that either Blaine or
Sherman could carry New York. but Har-
rison could not. Senators Teller and
Wolcott. of Colorado. made anti-Harri-
son speeches. declaring that Blaine was
the only one that could carry the silver
States. A poll of the New York delegation
is being made every few minutes. That
taken q couple of hours ago gives Harrison
49, Blaine % and seven doubtful. The
latest one gives Harrison 80 and Blaine 40.
among whom Senator Warner Miller is
counted.
In North and South Dakota the Harrison
delegates are standing firm az a rock. not
withdrawing the desperate efforts of Sena-
tors Pettigrew and Hansbrough to move
them.
Ohio Will not be on hand until morning,
when Governor Mckinley and the bulk of
the delegation will arrive on the Repub-
lican League train. Varying claims are be-
ing made about Ohio. The Presidents
friends claim thirty for him against sixteen
for Blaine. while the Blaine managers in
innate that 1t is just the other way. The
most reliable estimate seems to be twenty
six for Harrison. sixteen for Blaine. and
four doubtful.
All but two Of the Texas delegates are
now in. and though no formal meeting has
been held. the best information is that the
votes will stand % for Harrison against @
for Blaine.
A careful detailed estimate by the st.
Paul Pioneer Press after polling all dele
gates on the ground. gives Harrison AGO and
Blaine As.
