HARRISON MEN HOT.
Decisions on Contests Going
Against Them.

Decisions on Contests Going
Against Them.
The shouts, singing and band music
of the political clubs draws people from
every direction to the lobby and cor
ridors of the West house to view the
spectacle. but all day long score, and
sometimes three score, of eager watch
ers has steadily surged to and fro around
Room 222, seiZing every opportunity to
get at those inside. or to secure an ink
ling of the way in which things were
going in the contests committee. The
contest between Harrison and Blaine
seems to be growing so close as to make
a possibility that OH the decisions OF the
committee on contests will rest the
this room was made up largely of col
ored men, but occasionally leaders of
the two forces were on hand to learn
and report how the fight was going.
The news received was far from cheer
ing to the Harrison men who had been
counting on almost solid delegations
from the southern states. In some in
stances they were able to hold their
ground, but the fight was losing one
on the whole. and in Alabama especially
they were hard hit, the anti-MOSely
faction capturing all but three of the
contested seats. The contests have
been unusually bitter and numerous in
this convention and the preliminary
committee Oh credentials found their
tasks hard and difficult one.
The Harrison men are angry at the
way in which contests have been de-
cided and at the outlook for the unde-
cided ones. They complain that every
thing is going against them and threaten
to make fight on the national commit
tee all along the line. Some of their best
friends are advising against this course,
as it is almost certain that the appeals
from the decisions of the regularly con-
stituted tribunals would be adverse to
them, and the effect of defeat on pre-
liminary skirnlish might have an injuri-
Gus effect OIL the more important battle.
The Alabama contest will be carried
to the full executive committee. but
whether or not the fight in this or other
contests will be carried further it is too
early to say, there being difference of
opinion as to the policy. The first con-
test decided today was from Utah, in
which the regulars or anti-Salt Lake
Tribune faction won. This gives the
Blaine men two votes. There were two
organizations in this territory. each
claiming to be the regular party OF or
ganization.

SIGNIFICANT TALKS.
Big Guns Finding Excuses to
Play Flip Flop.


Play Flip Flop.
A significant development of the
evening was the declaration of eXtGOv.
Richard Oglesby. one of the delegates
at large from Illinois, that he would not
regard his instructions as binding in
the event of fair number of ballots
developing the fact that the nomination
of Harrison was not "a possibility. He
took the ground. that it would be his
duty TO Look at the situation as 1t would
be regarded under the conditions
existing by the convention that Sc
lected him as a delegate, sup
posing that this body were still in
session. He would not say, however,
that he would vote for Blaine,r but
contents himself with the statement
that if he was compelled to cease voting
for Harrison his support would go to
the candidate who appeared to ENJOY
the best chance of success.
William Warner. of Missouri, also
made a significant statement. Maj.
Warner is one of the four delegates at
large instructed for Harrison. He said:
"When at the state convention the del
egaton was instructed to vote for Har-
rison, the instructions were put IN this
language:
'.In view of the fact that the name of
the distinguished James &. Blaine is
not a candidate for the presidency, etc.
That is all | can tell you. Blaine
seems to be a. candidate now"

MAIN Il MEN.
How They Talk About the Candi-
dacy of Blaine.

How They Talk About the Candi-
dacy of Blaine.
One would expect the Maine delega-
ton 10 be solid for Blaine, but it isn't.
That statement should be qualified
somewhat. The delegation IS not solid
for Blaine in the sense that all the dele
gates are ever ready to yell for Blaine
and declare that he will get the full
strength of the Maine vote, And when
a delegate says that he is not ready to
declare himself for particular candi-
date, it may be taken that he Is a sup
porter of some other man. That is the
way it is in Maine.
Congress man Boutelle may be taken
as the direct representative OF Blaine
at the convention.
..Blaine will be the nominee" he told
a GLOBE man, IN his positive way, yes

con the first ballot?"
"On no other than the first"
Suppose there should be third can
didate iu the field after failure to NOM
mate Blaine on the tirst?'
but there will be no third man. And
there will be none but the first ballot.
Blaine will be nominated then"
but suppose, for the sake OF the ar
gument, that il should be impossible to
nominate him on the first, would third
man he able to get any of MIR. Blalne'S
VOteS?"
81 don't admit that there is any sup
pOsition or that there will be another
ballot. Mr.. Blaine has the votes for the
nomination on the first ballot, and what
more does he want?"
CT. Libby, of Portland, president OF
the Maine senate and one OF the dele
gates, said:
"The Maine delegation is always for
a Maine man whenever there is Maine
man in the field. Yes. the delegatIon is
for Blaine. Why shouldn't it be"' He
is Maino man."
Suppose it should be impossible to
nominate Blaine without bitter hghJ
and a break should be made for third
man?"
.Then we will vote for Maine man
lust the same. We have good preSi-
Dental timber besides Mr.. Blaine. We
have a man right in my district who
would make good presidential candi-
date.''
"Who is hep"
Tom Reed. And he is all right"
E. B. Mallett Jr., of Freeport. one OF
the delegates at large, is not quite SO
enthusiastic as the men who have just
been quoted. Mr. Maliett says that he
cannot discuss the presidential situa-
ton. He does not want to say just
what he thinks about the Blaine reSig-
nation and the Blaine candidacy. He
says that the Maine delegation is not III
a position where any of the delegates
are justified in talking about what the
delegation will do. This makes it look
as it Maine even was not quite so much
Blaine.

A SUPREME CONTEST.
Both Sides Dread a Compromise
Candidate.

Tho feeling is growing every hour
that this is to be a supreme battle of
the giants, and that there are to be no
dark horses, no compromise candidates.
The strongest candidate that the ad-
ministration forces can possibly muster
is Benjamin Harrison; the strongest
name that the opposition can cOniure up
to defeat the president is that of James
&. Blaine. Even If they were disposed
10. the leaders of each side are afraid to
drop their man and take up com
promise candidate, lest in doing so they
should effect the nomination of their
opponent.
The only contingency that could
bring a compromise candidate to the
front would be the demand of the con-
servative men of the party that both the
leading candidates be dropped in the
interest of harmony. This contingency,
however, is not considered atall likely,
and Notwithstanding the loyalty of
Michigan to Alger. it is believed that
the result will be decided on the first
ballot. Despite these conclusions of
the majority, however, there are hun

AS usual. Mckinley is the name most
frequently mentioned, but the governor
himself is in the city today. and he
deprecates any suggestions of himself
as compromise candidate, and reiter-
ates his allegiance to President Har-
riSon. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, does
the same, and it seems that the demand
for Il compromise candidate, if it comes
at all, must be from some of the dele
cations outside of tine states which are
likely to furnish the candidate.

bon. George G. Gorham, ex-secretary
of the United States senate. summed
up the situation from his point of
view as follows: $50 far as MIR. Blaine's
attitude toward this contest is con-
cerned, there is no disposition on the
part of Mr.. Harrison'S friends to dis
cusS it, and no effort is being made Ill
the Indiana headquarters to give any
direction to the discussion.
So far as the present relative strength
of the two men is concerned, Mr.. Harri
sons is solid and genuine. 1t is known,
so far as it is possible in advance to
know, that if the convention were to
vote today he would receive more than
500 votes. He has been gaining stead

that lie will be nominated. / think it
entirely probable that this will be SO
manifest to his opponents before the
roll is called that his nomination will be
made without opposition. 1t ought not
certainly TO be the desire of Blaine'S
friends who are now booming him to
subject him to the humiliation of defeat
if they find that there is 10 possibility
of bis nomination.

MISSIONARY WORK.
Hiscock Endeavors to Checkmate
Blaine Men.

Blaine Men.
Tonight committee of the Blaine
faction of the New York delegation
started OH missionary tour of the state
headquarters. Ex-Congressman Bur-
leigh headed the delegation. The first
place they visited was the headquarters
of the New Hampshire delegation, where
they found ex-CongresSman Cheney and
several members of the dele ?atlon.
Burleigh made the first argument, put
ting forth the claim Of Mr.. Blaine as
strongly as he could on the one PROPOSE
ton that the president could not posi-
bly, carry New York with Platt and
Warner Miller against him. He said the
reason Mr.. Platt opposed him was be-
cause he believed lie could not carry the
state.
Mr.. Barnes of the Albany Journal,
followed Mr.. Burleigh, said that New
York could not be carried by the preSi
dent. Four years ago the party got the
necessary votes from the Democrats,
Mr.. Barnes said in what manner he did
not care to state. Under the new cleo
ton law they could not get them in any
way. He prefaced this with look
around the room and a remark that 1--WE
are all Republicans here"
The next visit was made to the Arkan-
sas delegation were the same argu-
ments were repeated. The pro
ceedingS, however, were interrupted
at this point by the entrance of
Senator HiScock, who combatted every
point made by the Blaine men, declaring
that he knew the condition of public
sentiment in the state New York as
thoroughly probably as any other man.
and he knew that Harrison could car
ry it.
Ii. III. Warner, of Rochester, attacked
MIR. HiscOck'S position at several points,
but especially on his claim of under
standing the politics of the state.

"What about Secretary Rusk as
candidate?" was asked.
Mr.. Spooner replied: Secretary Rusk
is member of President Harrison'S
cabinet. From what know of him, and
/ know him we'll. think he would con-
slider it an objectionable atfront to his
friends to use his name in way that
could by any possibility inure to the in
jury of the president, by whom he was
able to render conspicous service to the
country. The Republicans of Wi5con-
sin have great affection for Mr.. Rusk,
aud great pride in his fidelity, and
honor him for his loyalty, and they
wonld not put him in a position where
any fair-minded man could question
his .fidelity.'
