PHILADELPHIA, June H.-The multi
tudes are slow in coming in TO attend the
Republican rational convention, especially
the Indiana multitudes. Several carloads
are due tomorrow, but thus far only a
few statesmen from the great battle
ground State have put in an appearance
Colonel Durbin, in his capacity as member
of the national Republican committee. has
been sitting for two days as juror In con-
tested delegations from Southern States.
1t looks tonight as If he would have two
days more OF that kind of punishment
BY common consent many of these con-
tests disclose about as putrid condition
OF affairs in the rotten boroughs has
come TO light in many years. but it is
comfort TO know that these rows in hope
less Democratic States do not jeopardize
any OF the Northern States. The most
troublesome case OF all is that Of Della
ware. on the settlement of which depends
two United States senators, one represent
stive in Congress and three members of the
electoral college. A special committee has
been sitting on the case all day, and to-
night a satisfactory adjustment seems as
remote as ever. The national committee
has seriously considered the proposition to
deprive the State entirely OF representa-
tion in the national convention and send
the row to the committee which shall be
formed next week.
Next In point Of spectacular interest to
the Delaware contest is the Texas case, in
which Mrs Hetty Green's son. ed" and
Representative Hawley are arrayed In op-
position. Young Green lives in Texas, owns
a railroad and a string of banks there,
and makes pastime of politics. He is now
state chairman. and wants % represent
Texas on the national committee. His
claims will be presented before the ma
tional committee tomorrow by Gen. w.
w. Dudley, of Indiana and Washington.
Much OF the talk indulged in about the
vice presidential nomination is idle specu-
lation- The name of Dolliver. OF Iowa, is
being most energetically doomed. but it is
impossible to Judge what there is behind
the movement Not the slightest hint has
come from the White House In Endorsement
OF the men who are being urged. Chairman
Hanna has been closely catechised on the
subject by everybody who is on speaking
terms with him. but he has cleverly evaded
a direct answer. except to say he hoped
woodruff, OF New York. would not persist
in remaining in the race. He also con-
fessed that the names OF Senator Allison,
OF Iowa. and Mr.. Bliss. OF New York may
as well be left out, as they had positively
refused to allow their names to be pre-
sented and could not accept IL nominated.
Arriving delegates and visiting states
men from all parts OF the country report
lively interest in their respective sections
about Senator Fairbanks, and 1t is becom-
Ing more apparent every hour that a for
midable background sentiment has devel-
oped in his favor for Vice President. No
man on the ground IS authorized to speak
for the senator, although his position is
quite well understood by the leaders of the
party, He has said repeatedly that he is
not candidate. He has not gone so far as
TO say he would not accept the nomination
