CHICAGO, June 1.-THE vast major
ity of the returning delegates who
passed through Chicago today did not
leave the depotS, being anxious TO reach
their homes as soon as possible. The
Young Mems Republican Club of Balti-
more, headed by Postmaster W.W.John-
son, escorted the Mary land delegation
into the city, and Immediately scattered
for a brief rest before leaving at
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Our club was solid for Harrison"
said Postmaster Johnson, and we are
consequently happy"
Col. ". Il. Holloway, ex-poStmaSter
OF indianapolis, and one of the most
enthusiastic of the Blaine boomers,
came in this evening looking thor
oughly disgusted. "Blaine was first
with me-" he said, ''and Mckinley sec
ond. l was against Harrison, am free
to say, because do not believe he can
carry Indiana. There are grave doubts
IN the minds of many who are in a pos
itiOn to know that he stands any show
at all. either to carry his own state or
New York. There is an
Intense General Fear
that the nomination means defeat. Har-
risOn has embittered many of the hard
est workers in Indiana. 1t was diff
cult matter to elect him there four years
ago. It will require the hardest fight
the party has ever known to repeat the
success now. Platt is not going to
knife Harrison, however. l don't be-
lieve any rumor of that sort. When
he's beaten he acknowledges it and
does not continue to fight He's not
liable, of course, to take off his coat and
work all summer"
William A. Gavett, of Detroit, the
personal friend OF Mr.. Blaine, and the
Iatter's Michigan lieutenant, was almost
as discouraged as Mr. Holloway. "Of
course we're for Harrison noW," he
said. but we don't believe the
nomination was exactly fair.
mean 10y tnat if we had had a
fair and square contest between
Blaine and Harrison, the latter would
not have been in it at all. We would
have nOmlted Blaine in spite of every
thing if it had not been for his letter to
Clarkson. That letter was actually
forced from him by Harrison's friends.
l do not mean to say that believe this.
say positively that l know it.
Many Knives Whetted.
W. R. Vaughn. of Nebraska. author
Of the eX-Slave pension bill. said: Il
can assure you if the Democrats use
discretion in making their nomination
MIR. Harrison will never be elected. for
he cannot get the necessary negro vote.
and the negroes have the balance
of power in six Northern states,
including New York and Illinois.
john NJ. Langston will fight Harrison,
the union printers of the United States
will fight Mr.. Reid, and the union rail
road men will fight Harrison because of
Depew and Vanderbilt'S treatment of
them"
David Lane, of Pennsylvania-There
is no question of HarriSOn'S election.
John Robinson, Pennsvlvania-The
least said about it the better.
j. L. Green, PennSylvania-Harr
cannot carry Pennsylvania.
William Wetherill, Pennsylvania
The Blaine men were knocked out by
unfair means. Treachery was the
Watchword of the administration mana
gers. Look out for us in November.
That cOld-blOOded man in the White
House will not think it so funny, by and
by.
Easy For Democrats
W. J. Carr. Massachusetts This mel
anchOly look on my face is blaine
pallOr." The Democrats will win an
easy victory. Whitelaw Reid Will be
OneOf the chief factors of defeat. Mas
sachusetts will probably 90 Democratic.
George +. Fay, of Massachusetts, Mr..
Blaine was not practically candidate.
and for that reason | don't think the
breach made by the detection of his
ardent followers will be permanent.
George w. Massey, of Delaware
Harrison is as strong or stronger than
he was four years ago in the minds of
the solid business men of the country,
and while think that Blaine's defeat
will deprive the party Of large number
of votes, 1t will not endanger the cleo
tiOn of Harrison"
EmmOnS Blaine-I went to Minneap-
oils merely as a spectator. therefore |
can say nothing. OF course there is no
need of my saying whom | would pre-
fer, but L am satisfied that Harrison is
a good man for the place.
Russell A. Alger Jr.-I believe the
ticket is strong. l know it pieases my

main for its success in Michigan.
Harry Myers, of Brinkley, Ark-Some
of the Blaine men feel pretty sore, but
Platt. of New York, was mad clear
through. Just before l left Minneapo-
lis last night heard him talking over
the situation with State Senator O'COn-
nor and Irwin, of New York. and he
told them New York would never getin
line for Harrison. | guess, though, that
Platt will not say that few days from
now. when the excitement and bitter
ness of defeat has gotten out of him.
From all quarters supposed to be in
formed the belief is entertained that
Depew will decline, as he is practically
assured of being the "dispenser'' of
patronage in New York state in the
event of Harrison'S success, a desder-
Tatum from the political point of view
which will carry with it more
power than the position of
secretary of state. While, of course.
nothing definite is known here of Mr..
Depew's intentions in the matter, this
is the general drift of gossip on the sub
ject. The name of Minister Lincoln is
prominently mentioned as a successor
to Blaine in the event of DepeW's de-
