which the news came as declara-
tion Of war against the Admins
tration. 1t furnished name to
which all the personal opponents Of
the President could rally without
apologies, since that name was still
potent with the Republican masses.
The Blaine letter was the biggest
bomb ever exploded on the doorsill
Of a Republican convention. The
West Hotel that Saturday afternoon
seethed with sensations and propa-
ganda. Emmons Blaine arrived from
Chicago. Senators Platt, Quay and
Wolcott gave out statements claim

Blaine's mental condition. He saws
that Blaine had described to friend
on several occasions "scenes in which
the President and himself were sup
posed to be the actors, but which
couldn't have occurred and which
the Blaine of earlier days could
never have imagined"

outside, almost in a state Of COL
lapse. On the way across the street
to Blaine's house, the latter, who
seemed to think that he was on the
point of death, asked Elkins to as
sure the President Of his good will
and his wish for the Presidents sue
cess at Minneapolis. But in few
days, after recovering, he yielded to
the suggestions Of Harrison's enc
mics and apparently determined to
resign and to throw his hat into the
ring at what they thought would be
the psychological moment.
Blaine gave no reasons for his
resignation in the letter he wrote
to the President on June A, 1892.
1t is curious document, contain

Farmers Alliance sentiment was
strong. Arthur P. Gormans opposi-
tion to Cleveland was felt in Mary
land, Virginia and North Carolina.
Louisiana was opposed to Cleveland
because Of his attitude toward the
sugar industry
Hills candidacy didn't appeal
much to the Southern and Western
Democracy, which was at heart
against Cleveland because it was
being slowly driven toward radical
ism by the Farmers Alliance agita-
tion and the free silver propaganda.
But Hill knew few Southern and
Western politicians, and was per-
sonally antipathetic to them. They
wouldn't turn to him in order to de-
feat Cleveland. And. they were, uu-

only serious challenge to Mr.. Cleve-
lands leadership came from his own
state, New York, where David B.

The President was equally curt
and uncommunicative. He accepted
the resignation without any allusion
to Mr.. Blaine's work in the Depart
ment of State or to the past per-
sonal OF political relations between
himself and his ranking Cabinet
officer.
B1aine's Mental Condition
What was the real cause Of the
break? Stanwood, certainly a friend
ly critic, believes it was due to

was skillful diplomatist and strate-
gist. He divided the opposition and
kept it divided. Illinois had instruct
ed for Cleveland first and for SEN
ator John NJ. Palmer for second
choice. Indiana had instructed for
Cleveland, with Governor Isaac P.
Gray as second choice. But Palmer
was unwilling to antagonize the
Administration crowd. Gray had
his eye on the Vice Presidential
nomination, in case Cleveland was
nominated for President. Though
anti-Cleveland, he also wasn't in a
position to make an open fight
against Cleveland. Whitney played
in mastery way on the divisions
and jealousies in the ranks of the
opposition. Like New, at Minneap-
oils, he called a meeting Of the
delegates he could depend on and
gave out figures showing an actual

man was not a convention fighter.

Mckinley to the Front

If the convention of 1892 thus saw
Z the spell of Mr.. Blaine's leadership
definitely shattered Che died in the
following january, it was also no
table for clever political coup which
brought William Mckinley into the
foreground as a future Presidential
candidate. This coup, as shall
show, 7as adroitly planned and was
spectaciIlarly successful. It's politi-
cal effects didn't become fully ap-
parent until the following year,
when Blaine and Harrison had both
been eliminated as Presidential pos
sibilities.
General Harrison had every rea-
son to expect a denomination. He
couldn't be held responsible by the
leaders in Congress for the Repub
iiean party's crushing defeat in the
Congressional elections Of 1890. He
had gone along with Congress in ap-
proving the Mckinley tariff act and
IN advocating the passage Of Fed
eral election bill. Mr.. Blaine's in
tervention in behalf Of reciprocity
tariff treaties had helped to mod
crate popular irritation against in
creased tariff taxation. Republicans

ine Minneapolis platform was
adopted by a unanimous vote.
harrison's Temperament
Opposition to President Harrison
was personal. 1t arose from his
well known defects Of temperament.
'eneral Harrison was an able man
lar abler than his grandfather,
"siam Henry Harrison. He had
Keen mind and an unusual gift of
szpression--not snowy in his ora
~ry, but always incisive and felic~
iNus. But he was by nature ex-
'emeiy self-centered, distrustful of
"'hers, unduly sensitive to criticism
" misrepresentation, and COM
plstsiy lacking In affability or soci~
ABILITY, except within a small circle
u intlmates. He had an extraordi-
nary facility for rubbing people the
"'ong way and for seeming ofish
'nd ungraclous.
Inc people never warmed to Presi-
1snt Harrison, and the politicians az
1uie disliked him intensely, even
"aen ne met their demandg--ifl his
Wsniiar way. Bat his claim TO a
'snornination would never have been

pesssd against him. He had the

New-York tribune., 1920-06-06

He was hesitating and overcautious.
He didn't want to run just for the
sake of creating a deadlock. So the
strong distrust of Cleveland which
the Southerners and Westerners in
stinctively felt was never capitalized.
Whitney's Leadership
William C. Whitney was the
Cleveland leader at Chicago. He
