British Views of the Situation.

LONDON. Juno 1.-The London Times says:
President Harrison can scarcely have been
prepared for the action of Mr.. Blaine. 1t is the
public announcement that he is n candidate
for the confidence OF his party. His modest
naction ut Maine will cost him nothing ns he
is ably represented at Minneapolis by trusted
friends. and tho American parties rather like
Presidential candidates to be coy.
1t by no means follows that either Mr.. Tlar-
rison or Mr.. Blaine will he nominated Mr..
Blaine has had more than once cruel expc-
perience OF the fashion in which the operations
OF the machine may suddenly blast the fair
est hopes OF n promising candidate, 1t is pre-
cisely on occasions when two well-matchcd
adversaries confront each other that ballots

MINNEAroLIs. June AT midnight the fol-
lowing statement was given on. at the liar

Our midnight reports show that we have

suit after giving. for tho purposes OF
tho estimate. to the opposition the bon
eft OF every doubt and all votes in
contest and without taking into account
some fifteen additions that have been an
nounced as coming over to Harrison. but have
not been Individually Intercepted at head
quarters. and for that reason have not been
included in this canvass. The total number Of
votes in contest is about thrty-two.
The weakness Of tho opposition is concu-
sively proven by the fact that its leaders are
diligently seeking for some other candidate
other than Mr.. Blaine, upon whom to concern
trate such Of their vote as will follow them
blindly. tits now evident that the readers intend
to defeat the denomination Of the President.
but our canvass Of tho delegates shows that
there are not many delegates who can be car
ried from ono candidate to another
by the leaders Of tho opposition.
to gain time to find such candi-
date the leaders OF the opposition are de-
laying the presentation of the contest cases
to the Committee on Credentials That COM
mittee has been able to do no work to-day be-
cause they hive not been furnished with the
records by the National Committee
Because Of this fact the committee has
been obliged to adjourn until $3.50 tomorrow

position clearly proves their weakness"

Blaine or tho Blaine leaders to en-
