MrSNKsroLrs, MrNS.. June 10. -- Nothing
!, could exceed the Joy Of the Harrison men when
I the convention adjourned at 80 this morning
They felt 40 good that they did no, want TO 60
10 bed. They were swArming the corridor Of
the West Hotel at O'Clock this morning, shout
ing and shaking hands hilAriousiy. They had
no doubt from the test vote taken on the report
Of the committee on credentials that they had
control Of the convention and they had very
little fear Of losing it, They wc7e counting no,
only on holding the strength which they had
shown last night but gaining more through the
moral effect of last nights vote.
The anti-Harrisons were not beaten. They
admitted that the result Of tho vote last night
took their favorite candidate. Baine out of the
race and even Col Dufield. the gonteIaan who
was 70 present the name of Gen. Agor, WAS
willing to admit the possibility that the nAIne
Of Michisan's iAvorite son would no; bo heard
in the convention. The Michignn mon had not
held together the test vote and be realized that
they would not hold together on the FIRST ballot.
But in common with the other Harrison
men he had not given mp hope entirely. There
was still tho chance ut a dark horse
Mckinley" was the name TO charm the Har-
rison men from their allegiance. The name Of
the Ohio man was heard on every side.
BLAINE NES NOT CAST powS.
The Blaine men we're keeping up their cour-
age and the courage Of their friends by insist
ing that the roll call wns no; a test OF strength
between Harrison and Blaine. Congressman
Townsend OF the Colombo delegation said that
favor Of the majority report would no, be for
Harrison, since that state, he insisted. would
be soiidly for Ager.
Senator Teller said: "It means that Harrison
is beaten. He has not got enough votes 90
nominate him. With the third candidate his
majority viii melt away fast. Look out for Mo-
hiEley or Tom Reed The Harrison men have
not got the votes they claimed thuy had"
Ex-United States Marshal Pawn OF New York
said: The southern people are clannish. and
because they are clannish they got together On
the vote last evening. but tine Blaine people arc
by no means defeated or disheartened. Most
certainly Blaine will be nominated TODAY. One
thing is certain. and that is. Harrison will not
be nominated, for he would not take the nom
ination any way after such bitter fight. There
is possibility OF dark horse, hut the Blaine
men are not defeated"
EX-SENATOR PALMER To THE PRESIDENT
Ex-senator Thomas ". Palmer Of Michigan,
president of the Columbian worlds fair, sent Q
telegram to President Harrison Immediately
after the adjournment of the caucus Of Harri-
son delegates yesterday congratuiating him
upon his assured denomination. He probably
got in the first message.
One of the Alger men, speaking Of the Hsrri-
son caucus before the vote in the convention
hast night, said that the mistake the managers
made was that they counted delegates and alter
mates.
The following telegram was received by Mr..
Michener last night from A. ID. Shaw AZ Lincoln,
Neb., OF the Yardmasters' National Association,
a copy of one sent 10 President Harrison: The
third annual convention Of the railroad yard
masters, now in session here, tender YOU a vote
OF thanks for your personal interest and official
messages in behalf of the better protection for
| the lives and limbs Of railroad men and have
adopted resolutions asking Congress 20 legislAte
ON this important subject without delay"
SENATOR wAsHBURS's yrEws
Senator washburn said that the result Of the
ballot on the credentials committee report wss
strongly indicative Of Harrison's denomination.
81 think my preference is pretty well known
said he, but I say il with all candor that the
vote seems to insure the denomination Of Har-
rison''
The Senator's bias has been very pronounced
for Blaine, so his conclusion bears additional
weight.
John ID. Wight. Mr. Fassctt's colleague from
the twenty-eighth New York district, wore
very sober face, but said he did not regard the
/ hats la.t ,-at k,,. - H.. l.l
money to put up against Harrison's nomination
Senator Spooner was delighted. He said:
81 do not feel any better now than / die before.
/ have been entirely satisfied Of victory sn
along"
Senator Sabin, Blaine man, reminded
| that Senator Wasburn had ACKNOWLEDGED de-
feat, and he said: II am sorry to hear that the
Senator would weaken quickly"
Congressman Boutelle. Mr.. Blaire's intimate
friend, said: 1--WE will break that all right"
WHAT EMMoSs ELAINE SAYS.
One Of the morning papers publishes an inter-
view with Emmons Blaine had after the caucus
Of yesterday, but before last nights ballot
They are making a good deal of noise about
| that meeting" said Mr.. Blaine referring 20 the
Market Hall meeting of Harrison people, but I
do not pay any attention TO the claims that
majority Of the delegates were there"
| The reporter mentioned that . good many
people had expressed the opinion that Mr..
Blaine's name would not be regularly presented
to the convention and the replied my
fathers name viii go before the convention
People who contend to the contrary know noth-
| ing about the thing"
| After the adjournment this orning ex-Gov.
Foraker who has been selected to present Mr..
\ Blaine's name. said that he ready TO make .
nominating speech and he was going to make L.
There were great many friendsof Mr.. Blaine,
however, who believed that Gov. Foraker vas mis-
taken They felt quite positive that Mr.. Blaine
was not going 10 allow his name 10 be put up
only 10 be knocked down again, and they
| thought that Emmons Blaine's statement vus
| made in the belief that his father had clear
| majority in the convention. Mr.. Plstt and
others of the anti Harrison men assured him
constantly Of this and he believed Il. Many of
Mr.. BlAine's friends believed this morning thst
young Mr.. Blaine win not permit his fathers
name to 90 before the convention while there
was even doubt about his nomination.
