How the Leaders Talk.


M1NNEAPo11s, June 4-The confidence
with which the self-constituted Blaine boom
ers have announced that he would accept the
nomination if it were offered him. and the
calm assurance with which they are prose
cutting the contest in his behalf, has sudden
iy gwen seriousness to the whole Blaine
movement, and the more careful politicians
are directing their attention to dill
gent analysis of the probable vote of various
state delegations. In the matter of figures
the Harrison managers point to states which
gave positive instructions for the president,
they claim to be daily receiving from in
structed delegations.
The Blaine people give no details, but
claim about everything in sight, not limiting
their figures to those states in which no in
structions were given, but claimin g scores of
votes from states positively instructed for
Harrison.
Hon. John c. New, of Indiana, consul gem
eral to England and Indiana's member of the
national committee, is at the head of Har-
rison people, and Hon. ]. s. Clarkson of
Iowa, chairman of the national committe,
is recognized as the leader of the Blaine
movement.
Chairman Clarkson says that on the first
ballot Blaine will have 600 delegates and that
d6frlSOQ Will nave less GIlc1u NAH Ln8G NUM-
Der. I'VE want the strongest man in the
party" resumed Clarkson, "and think
Blaine is the man"
'sWhat is the cause of Harrison's unpopu-
larity?' was asked.
He is not unpopular. Simply because the
people of this country have decided that it
might be better not to nominate him for q
second term, it does not follow that Harri-
son is unpopular. It simply means that in
the opinion of the majority the best interests
of the party will be best subserved by the
nomination of some other man."
The declaration of Chauncy Depew in
Chicago, that having always been Blaine
man, he was entitled to receive some intl-
nation, if there was any intention on the
part of Blaine to be candidate, and that
having received no such intimation, he had
taken the letter to Clarkson as official and
final, has slight tendency toward dampen-
ing the ardor of the local and visiting Blaine
boomers. Depew's position is admitted to
be q strong one and especially as he bases it
upon the personal ground that the old and
tried friends of the secretary of state have
right to claim his confidence and be advised
by him precisely where he stands, without
equivocation or hedging.
Clarkson and Fasset combat Depew's posi-
ton by asserting that Blaine is still not
candidate, but that his party will nominate
him, and he will then show obedience to his
party

An Early Shut Down,

CHICAGO, June 2.-Window glass factories
throughout the country have shut down for a
long period. Usually the factories DO not
close down before July, but the manufac-
turers, at the recent national conference, de-
cided to suspend operations a month earlier
than usual in the interest of higher prices.
Work cannot be resumed before September,
and possibly not until October, and famine
of glass is not improbable if strikes do not
interfere with building operations.

The Kingman band is destined for a
state wide reputation. Since the visit
here two years ago it has made wonderful
progress. The public concert given yes
terday morning in front of the EAGLE

sic was rendered in a faultless manner.
Old musicians. and good judges of the art,
doubted if in all particulars any band in
the state could have equalled the per-
Torrance, in technic and brilliant execa-
ton. The band consists of twenty
pieces under the dictatorship of Professor

The candidates realized this yesterday
and their anxiety for their respective am
billions was yelled with discretionary and
ill-accepted disinteredenness, Ii was
vaguely binted that the four thunderbolts
of heaven were being forged for certain
people in the Alliance who had courteG
prominence too ardently and too long.
Who this might mean, was not SO far as
intimated, but it was thought to mean
Elder, Vincent, Willis or any other candi-
dates, who have aspirations and permitted
them to leak out
This state of affairs if it is maintained,
and the Alliance men stoutly declare that
it will, viii hereafter make every canven-
ton, pleasant pasture for dark horses.
To avow the least ambition is to expose
that ambition to frigid reception. This
makes a dark horse condition for the can
didate, not choice, but necessity.

ciples. John Eaton. too dropped with a
dull thud By the wayside. Something
must be done The old dilatary tactics OF
the Democracy was resorted to. Business
should be delayed. The convention should
be made to linger. The farmer delegates
would he played out. They would leave
the city by the early afternoon trains FOR
home today. Their proxies would be city
men and fusioniJes. The nomination for
Congressman at-large would thus be
secured to Democrat.

The Alliance and Cushing.

One OF the greatest curiosities yesterday
was the occasional Bedlam in the couven-
tlon that no force could quell. 1t seemed
inevitable. No Peoples party convention
was ever presided over by so fair and 50
capable chairman as Bridenthall, but
every few minutes the convention would
run off with him in spite OF all he could
do. Some question would come up trivial
enough in itself, but ali at once, half
dozen delegates would be on their feet
shouting at the top of their voices. The
most entangled and chaotic condition of
affairs would ensue
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-06-16

The scheme appeared TO be working.
Delay meant that the fusionites would
probably nominate the governor, chief
justice and congressman-at-large.
This meant Lleweilyn for governor,
John A Martin for chief justice aud
Eaton for coDgressman-at-large. The pro-
crastination of the convention favored
this scheme. II the nominations for the
three offices had been postponed until 70
nj h. the little plan might have probably
accom- plished its object. But the couven-
ton dropped onto the scheme and broke
the slate. 1t WAS on an entirely new tack
that Lleweliyn was finally nominated.
