HARRISON CiLM AND CONFIDENT.


He Attended church Yesterday. While
Blaine Went Out Twice for 81 Drive.
UNSATISFACTORY June 5.--This day OF rest has
becn even more than ordinarily welcome to the
Washington public. wearied and exhausted
after tho extraordinary excitement OF yestor-
day. Not until midnight last night could the
politicians persuade themselves to leave the
various news centres. where DISPATCHES wcro
constantly arriving from Minneapolis, and
where groups OF men were constantly discus
sing Mr.. Blancs resignation. To-day nothing
has occurred to supply new topics OF conversa-
ton. but the main tonic of yesterday is by no
means exhausted. and the politicians are still
ringing the changes upon 1t in every conceiV-
able combination. and rchcarsing for the hun
dredth time all the details Of the Republican
family quarrel.
Sunday PASSED at the White House much as
It usually does. except that an uncommonly
large number OF kilograms and letters were
received there. The President attended SER
vicc in the morning at the Church of the Gov
cnant. where he regularly worships. lie

noticeable that the clergyman. the Rev. DR..
Hamblin. who has never before failed to offer
prayer ioi the welfare OF the President and
Cabinet omitted that supplication this morn

Secretary Halford snid at the White House
that nothing Of public interest had occurred
there to-day. Secretaries Elkins and Foster
made short informal calls on the President
early in the afternoon. The kilograms and
other messages received by the President were
mainly from his friends in various parts OF
the country. assuring him of their continued
interest and support. but 1t was said that very
few OF them were from minneapolis. was
also said at tho White House that tho
President still retained his calm conii-
denco in the triumph Of his cause. and
that his immediate friends and advisers
we're feeling more and more encouraged to-
day by the news which they were con SANITY
receiving. The Harrison men certainly make
n brave showing. and act as though they
meant 4 whom they say that they are going to
win and that Blaine will find tho President a
harder man to down than he Anticipated. The
notion which soma person. larc that the
President may throw up hi land and with
draw. merely because Blaine as entered the
game. is undoubtedly wrong. Tho President
and his friends are as full OF fight as the fell
lows on the opposite side.
