ARRIVAL OF EX-GOV, FORAKER. Ex-Gov. Foraker arrived this morning. He is high upin enthusiasm. Four hundred and ninety-ning of the Obio republicans, he says, tre for Blatue and nat Blarricon. If the contest lays between Blaine and Sherman the might be for Sherman. If Blaine is nominated, he says (and he has no doubt that he will be), he is in favor of Alger or Rusk for second place. Platt and Depew cume in on Depew'e private car. Platt says that fifty surely, and probably fifty-five, of the New York delegates are op- posed to Harrison. There is a voice that whispers that Depew may changefront and go to Blaine. This is buta fague rumor. Ex-Sergeant-at-Arms and ex-Representative “Holmes of Tows is at the West y. He said to me that the Iowa dele- gation was divided against itself, more of them probably being for Harrison; but, he added, they were elected when it was thought that Blaine would not accept, and you can’t tell Nhat they will do now that Blaine is put in the je ‘MR. DEPEW NOT WAVERING. Chauncey Depew has just authorized Tae Stax corresp&ndent to deny the report that he would desert Harrison for Blaine. “I have always been a friend of Mr. Blaine and was orig- |}, inally a Blaine man. When he wrote his letter to Gen. Clarkvon I took him at his word. I will not believe that he has changed his mind on the subject until I see in his handwriting a statement to that effect. am for President Harrison, and there is no more truth in the report that I had deserted than there is in the rumor that Blaine will write another letter.” “‘How about the statement of Mr. Platt that at least fifty of the New York delegation will be tor Blaine on first ballot?” “I do not believe that is correct. Mr. Piatt Probably believes his figures are accurate, but Predict the result will show that he is in error.” GOSSIP AT MINNEAPOLIS. How the Situation Looks to the Leaders, ‘Today. Mrxxearoris, Mrxw., June 4.—The friends of President Harrison, such of the delegates on the ground as were elected in his interest and who retired last night serene in the belief that another day would dispose of what little had been manifested of the Blaine movement, awoke this morning, in the lech. | They also awoke in the spirit to realize that “politics is mighty uncertain.” Less than twelve hours ago they were certain that the Blaine move- ment would collapse, if not from’ inherent we , then certainly from genorally ac- cepted conclusion, upon his own state- ments that the Secretary of State could not and would not ever again undertake the labor and responsibility or undergo the excitement incidental to the position of chief standard bearer of the republican party in a presidential cam] morning, however, they were brought face to face with half 2 dozen statements, all more or less authoritative, couched in different Janguago, all more jor leas problematical in their general tenor, but all pointing in the same direction and to the same idea that Blaine, if not an avowed and open candidate for the noini- nation as against his chief, is at least prepared to accept it in the event of its being tendered him by the convention. ‘This is all that Clarkson and his friends have claimed from the start, It is precisely what the supporters of the administration have just as industriously denied, and it is all that is needed to enable the Blaine forces to ‘recover from the temporary depression of yesterday and to give them cheer and inspiration for the battle of next week. ‘The people who. for the past couple of days, have been insisting that Clarkson has known all along precisely where he stood are saying the old saw: “‘Itold you so,” with great unanimity and exceeding good will, Many of the Harrison people, however, are not willing to admit that the situation bas changed or that the prospects of the President have weakened or that Mr. Blaine has gained strength since the sun went down last night. The men to whom the latest statements regarding Blaine’s intentions are attributed aro, they say, no more entitled to be regarded as semi-ofticial mouthpieces than the men who have made themselves the sponsors for similar statements for a month past and whose declara- tions, now on the eve of the convention, are regarded as no more weight than those of’ any private in the ranks. No matter what Father Cronin or Congressman Boutelle may think or say; no matter what family telegrams may have between Washington and Emmons ine at Chirago, and) no matter what deduc- tions may be drawn from such opinions and such things, the fact remains, they hold, that until Mr. Blaine comes squarely out and either declares himself a candidate or places himself in the hands of his friends and announces as much, the convention, i choosing its standard bearer, must be governed by his February letter to Clarkson. That letter, they maintain, is still very much in evidence, and it must be with- drawn or qualified as a con precedent to the naming of its writer in the national conven? tion. ‘ME, CLARKSON PLEASED. Mr. Clarkson, however, is pleased with the situation. Speaking of Mr. Blaine’s statement that he would write no more letters, he said, “I think it will nominate him.” In answer to a mestion, he said: “I don't “spose that Mr. ine will be formally placed in nominetion, but I cannot tell.” Clarkson said that if was still le that some of the state delega- tions would put forward favorite vons, are several stories afloat about the friends are the ‘tes that the instructions were given at a time when Mr. Blaine was not considered a pos- sibility and that the changed conditions warrant them in thei te . ir own judgment Prcliee plan discussed by’ the anti-Harrison put Blaine fo before the con- v— 3 Blaine men shows 651 Blaine delegates and | cide, t safe to nominate Blaine. Ihave alway been a Blaine man. I believe he meant every word he said when he wrote that letter. We know he has said he would not acoopt, bei there is nota man who will say he declared he would take the nomination.” If the Washington correspondent of the St. Paul Giobe is telling the trath, though, there is such a man.

Murray is a federal office- holder and is absent from the convention. Geo. W. Hill, who was appointed a member of the committee by the state convention, will contest Mr. Evans’ “proxy. «Mr. Hill is a Blaine man while Mr. Evans is a supporter of Mr. Harrison. The contest over recognition between them is expected to be the first contest between the Harrison and anti-Harrison factions in the na- tional committee. The arrival of Boutelle of Maine, Blaine's intimate personal and political friend,is anxiously awaited by adherents of both Harrison and Blaine. The impression has got abroad that he is coming with a message from the Secretary of State. AWAITING WARNER MILLER. Warner Miller is another man who is being anxiously looked for and who is expected to wield considerable influence among the unin- structed element. Chauncey Depew, another of the heavy i ie of the delegation from the empire state, will be in by noon, ready to com- mence work in his own quiet aud effective way in behalf of the President's nomination. ‘The Harrisonianelementis relying largelyon Depew's influence with the New York delegation and be- lieves that he will be able to bring it into line for the President, Platt and Fassett to the con- trary notwithstanding. REINFORCEMENTS ARRIVE. At an early hour the trains from the cast be- gan to pour in reinforcements to the camps of both parties from Ohio, New York, Kentucky and other states, Gov. Foraker of Ohio one of the early arrivals at the West H “Blaine does not need to write another lette e said. “He has already declared himself sufficiently and hix interests are in the hands of his friends. He will be the nominee of the con- | vention. At present the Ohio delegation is divided, but it is likely to fall into line before the final ballot for the candidate who develops the test strength.” Chauncey Depew, with his perennial smile, hustied in all alone and reached the counter in time to register his name close behind that of the ex-governor of Ohio. Having done this he hastened upstairs, with an intimation that he | would be prepared to talk after breakfast. He stopped long enough to say: “The other peo- ple have the bruss bands, but we have the votes.” Chairman Henry C. Payne of the Wisconsin state committee expressed the opinion this morning that Harrison was losing ground. “I not prepared to say. however,” he added, that the Blaine men are making any material gains. The balance of power seems to rest with ee) Atos and T should not be sur- proves an important factor in the final outcome.” here claim that Alger t. The Michigan men now has eighty votes now in si Senators Teller and Wolcott of Colorado eame in on the heels of Depew in tow of C.

They favor Alger for second lace only. After Blaine they are more friendly To'Gresham than to anyone. else”” Soha Brennan, one of the most prominent Irish orators and poets in the country, has written a letter under date of May 8, from San Fran- cisco to E. R. Kirk of Sioux ‘City, Iowa., which he says: “I am hoping for’ Harriso nomination. To nominate Blaine would be a great mistake. Harrison is stronger than in 1888.” ‘Mr. Kirk explains that the significance and yalue of Brennan's letter lies in the fact that he is one of Secretary Blaine’s warmest and most enthusiastic friends, who takes him at his word to Chairman Clarkson in his letter of February 6, and believes aa he writes that to nominate Blaine under the conditions “would be a nzis- take.” Ex-Representative Wallace of Brooklyn came in this morning from Duluth. “I was elected aan anti-Harrison man,” he said, “but I do not believe in any one to beat Harrison, I ain for Mr. Blaine, and I think fifty of the New York delegation are for him.” Mr. Wallace said that he understood that Gov. McKinley of Ohio was to be the permanent chairman of the convention. Gov. MeKinley will be here Mon- day. He is the Harrison candidate for the per- manent chairmanship. The anti-Harrison men have not decided yet whether they will put up any one against him. WORD FROM GOV. M'KINLEY. George R. Baldwin of Canton, who arrived here this morning, brought a message from Mr. McKinley. The governor sends greeting to the Harrison men and says that he will be here to- | morrow morning to take up the fight for Harri- son, He says that two-thirds of the Ohio dele- gation is for the President's renomination. Unless some change is made in the plans of the Blaine men their leader's name will not be ted to the convention formally. Senator nsbrough is the authority for this statement. ‘The Blaine boom was checked a little by the | denial of the “pa” telegram made by Eminons | Blaine at Chicago this morning, but it received 8 frosh impetus when dispatches were rece’ laine, Vermont and New Hamp#! delegations saying that only three of the dele- tes from those states would vote for Harrison. ‘elegrams were received from Chicago saying that the Chicago members of the Illinois dele- gation had agreed to vote together for Blaine. SOME FIGURES GIVEN OUT. ‘The Harrison people are counting on instruc- tions from state conventions to start their can- didate off with nearly 300 votes assured, and their opponents are religiously relying on the infection of the “popular Blaine movement” to sweep up nearly all the uninstructed delegates 4nd make serious inroads in many of the in- tructed delegations. Thus it is that the figures given out by the two factions differ so widely and are accepted to lightly by the ex liticians, ‘The of the day is one which can only be solved in the convention. It is one which de- Penda on tho individual preferences of dele- gates and can only be knofn in footing up the the opening ballot of the SECRETARY BLAINE’S ANNOUNCEMENT. ‘The announcement of Secretary Blaine that he would write no more letters and make no further utterances is accepted as conclusive by all, and, strange to say, both factions seem to find in it a source of congratulation. ‘The Blaine men say it means that their idol is in the hands of his friends and will accept the nomination when it is tendered him, and the Harrison leaders eay it means that further expression is unnecessary and that the Secre- tary of State stands by his famous letter to Seite. Hote parties are blessed ith the very parties are wit brief announcement of the as saying | f | Joining tracks, but all leader.

Indeed, in both these states the Har- rieon leaders claim that © majority of the dele- gatesare for the President and as Alabama has contesting delegations here,delegates of both factions are Just now very non-committal as to their presidential preferences, Today and tomorrow the skirmish line will be thrown out, and when the various state tions have taken their places on the field and thrown ont their banners the battle will have begun in earnest. GEN. NEW'S List. Both sides are anxious for a preliminary of strength. Gen. John C. New has a list of @ trifle over 500 delegates, all of whom, he claims, are either instructed or pledged to Harrison, while there is a supplementary list of forty or more that, while uninstracted, cam, in bis fadge ment, be ‘reckoned as part of the forces. But Chairman Clarkson, who bas a little list of his own in an inside pocket, puts the Harri- are wary act predictions, but sist he will astically nominated on the first ballot. More distinguished were arrivals of this morning than some who have preceded them. On the end of the Omaha train from Chicago, on his private car, was Chauncey M. Depew of New York, accompanied by Senator J.W. Husted. of Peekskill, N. ¥. Gon. Husted was taken sick so, and is in bed today atthe West Hotel. In the private car Mascot, at the end of the Jong St. Paul train from the south, was ex-Sen- ator T. C. Platt and a party of friends, consist- ing of Messrs. Gordon Allen, C. 8. Burr, John E. Milholland, Louis Payne and J. Leroy Ja- cobs of the New York delegation and Geo. V. Maw- sey of the Delaware delegation. The two trains pulled into the St. Paul “union depot at about the same time and the private cars were on ad- ough there were fre- quent glances excha: there was no conver sation one with the other. When called on by an Associated Press rej resentative, who met hiscar at St, Paul, Mr. Depew said he was just up and hardly had bis eyes opened.

They were in the slceper next in front of his private ear and during the evening went in toseehim. He went over the situation with them frankly, explaining all he knew and hoped. He told them he was sure of Mr. Blaine’s ac- ceptance, r. Platt further assured the delegation that he had talked with Secretary Blaine and bis wife on Monday and that both assured im that Mr. Blaine was never in better health. Asa re- sult of this conference the Platt party believe ‘they will secure at least s part of the ion, C. M. Hart having given assurances of hi support. SECRETARY BLAINE AXD TRE CATROLIOS. A special to the Globe from Washington, pub- lished this morning, says: “Father Cronin, editor of the Catholic Union of Buffalo, had an extended conference with Seoretary Blaine this evening. He came here upon the latter's invi- tation. At the conclusion of the con- ference he said: ‘Blaine will the nomination beyond doubt, His pm} is positively made up. re is only one thing wllich gives him any uneasiness, sy is whether he ought to resign his seat in the cabinet. Mrs. Blaine has had a great deal to do with his deter- mination to accept. She and he are confident that his health is strong enongh for him to make the contest. He will not only yt the nomination—he fully expects to receive it. He sent for me, fearing that his letter to Father Ducey might be the means of alienating the Roman Catholic vote and wanting my opinion. I told him that the republican Catholics would not be influenced by the letter, nor will they. The real reason he ref to accept the nominatien four vears ago was because he feared that the republican party would surely suffer defeat. He does not think so this time, He believes that the democrats will nominate Cleve- land and he feels that he can defeat him or any other candidate the democrats may select.’ ” GREAT DAMAGE BY STORM. Roads Washed Out and Bridges Swept Away by the Rain. Porrsvitte, Pa., June 4.—This region was visited by a terrific rain etorm during the night and the water in the creeks and river is over- flowing the banks and causing much damage, especially in the Mahanoy valley above Girard- ville and Shenandoah. Several small bridges: on the wagon roads and railroads bave been washed away. At Girardville the Rending road is greatly interfered with by the washing away of the road bed for 100 feet or more.

A CLEVER SCHEME Said to Have Been Concocted by Mr. Blaine's Friends, BUT THE HARRISON MEX DISCOVERED IT AXD ARE WARNED —AENATOR PERKINS COMES OUT POR THE PRESIDENT'S RENOMINATION AND TELLS WHY HE THINKS HARRISON THE BEST MAN. A conference was held at the White Honse this morning between the President and Senator Sherman and Secretary Rusk. The calling of these men at the Executive Mansion today is be- Heved to have been connected with the utterance | of Mr. Blaine, published in Tax Stan yesterday, to the effect that he would not write another letter, as this significant remark of the Secre- tary is understood to have caused considerable Uneasiness among Mr. Harrison's friends in Washington. The uneasiness was intensified when this morning's dispatches from Minneapolis con- veyed the construction which Blaine’s friends there placed upon his remark. It is evident that the Blaine men at the convention strued the authorized statement to mean that Blaine would not decline at the critical mo- ment to allow his name to be presented. This construction is said to be self-evident from the fact that in accordance with the earnest from conservative repub- neapolis within the last thirty-six hours Mr. Blaine was implored for the of the party to reannounce his dectinati core, as he did in 1888 in the Whitelaw Reid He simply said, ‘-I will not write another letter,” which is taken to mean that he refuses to absolutely and unalterably withdraw. 4 CLEVER SCHEME UNBARTHED. Information has gone from Washington to Col. John C. New at Minneapolis of a clever scheme which the anti-Harrison faction is al- tohave and is to carry out to ir. Harrison’s discomfiture. The acdministra- tion friends in Washington are said to have dis- covered the plot within the last twenty-fonr hours quite accidentally through the indiscrect utterances of a man who is cognizant of the plans. It ia alleged that the presence of cighty-three contesting delegations at Minneapolis, more than ever before known, ix a premeditated It is claimed that certain anti-Harrison men have deliberately. within a month or two, caused = — sma contestants for the pu jelaying the permanent organization Of the convention st leat three lave, ae the committee on credentials can consime that length of time in settling the contests without liability of being charged with undue delay. It is readily apparent what an advantage » delay would afford. the. men for Thursday night with all the delegates on hand time would be gained to make any kind of a deal necessary to carry their The dis- covery of the alleged plot is said to have c uneasiness among the friends of the Presi but Gen. and his lieutenants are now warned of nee and will work strenu- it, MR. BLAINE’ POLITICAL DEBTS. Itis learned that the friends of Mr. Blaine who believe he will be nominated are seriously concerned over one consideration which would follow his election, namely, that Mr. Blaine would have to meet the accumulated political obligations of sixteen years, which would be a herculean task. They say that Mr. Blaine would be #0 deeply in debt politically that it would be impossible to pay out, and the disappoints and heartburnings which would necessarily follow ‘hls inability to meet the obligations would be appalling. ‘An official of the goverument, who holds a high rank and who is a leader in'a big western state, commented upon this very fact this morn- img. ' He said: ‘-Tuke the situation in my own state, for instance. There are two factions in the state, both powerfal and well matched, one of them controled throngh business cunsidera: tions, The leader of the business posed Blaine in 1880, In 1888 be favored Har- rion, but today he is at Minneapolis, Jondest Blaine whoopers because Harrison re- fused him a cabinet position If Blaine is elected this man will «demand favors ofhim.

No man in this country today would have 60 many righteous and just claims to satisfy as James G. Blaine and he cannot do it.” Representative Boutelle of Maine, who left for Minneapolis, went away expressing his con- fidence that Mr. Blaine would be and that he would accept. SENATOR PERKINS FOR HARRISON. One of the most important and significant additions to Mr. Harrison's strength in Washington between breakfast time and noon today, and will make iteelf felt in Minne- polis today. It is no less than the swinging into line of Senator Perkins of Kansas with the powerfu: political following which that statesman com- man Up to this time Senator Perkins has been in & measure undecided between Harrison and Blaine. He has refused bef Seon ject and has remained away from Minneapolis. Senator Perkins spent nearly an hour this morning with the President. It is understood ‘that the President did not ask Senator Perkins for or inany way solicit his support, but of course is not unappreciative of it. The result of Senator Perkins’ determination to stand by Mr. Harrison is shown by his decis- ion to leave tonight for Minneapolis to take part in the campaign, and he will be ax active factor | 3 in the occurrences of the next few day: SECRETARY ELKINS SEES THE PRESIDENT. Secretary Elkins came over to the White Honse soon after Senator Sherman and Secre- tary Rusk left and was closeted with the Presi dent for some time. J.C. Asbury, a colored del to the con- vention from the Norfolk, Va., district, and a prominent politician in his section, called at the White Honse to pay his respects to the Pres- ident before leaving for Minneapolis.
