All of them showed signs of weariness and even the hopeful administration men showed their en- thusiasm in « quiet, subdued way.

It was reliably stated that Idaho and some other far western states would turn to Harrison if they should drop Blaine. After the announcement of the question Mr. Martin, as national committeeman, called up the remainder of the majority report of the credentials committee. Mr. Quay announced that they would oppose ite adoption. It was reliably stated that Blaine’s name would not be formally presented. His sup- porters, it is said, would vote for him in order to hold his forces together, in case it was neces- sary to turn to some compromise candidate. It was decided not to present Alger’s name. MeKinley would get 20 or 22 from Michigan. Obio would alo go for McKinley. FAIRLY CERTAIN FOR HARRISON. Itwas fairly certain that Harrison or Me- Kinley would be nominated today, with indi- eations in favor of Harrison. Mrs. Helen Foster of the W. C.T.

The call of roll for nominating speeches was | Postponed for fifteen minutes to enable the Michigan people to consult. A probable explanation of the fact that ‘Foraker was not to present Blaine is the state- ment by an Ohio delegate that the delegation would vote for McKinley solidly on the first baflot.

Consideration of the committee on creden- | tials b&ing resumed the chair made the gratify- ing announcement to the convention that Senator Quay had. authorized him to say that no further opposition would be made to the adoption of the majority re- port in the Alabama case. The question was then put and the majority report was unani- mously adopted amid cheers. This example was followed by those who had intended toantag- onize the Utah report on the Mormon issue. Mr. Cullom, after consultation with other friends of the administration, agreed not to de- lay-nominations by raising » discussion on this question. The chairman asked Mr. Connon of Utah if he desired « vote on his minority report. He said that he did. The minority report was beaten by a decided majority and the majority report was adopted. An Oregon delegate moved that the delegations from Indian territory | and Alaska be admitted with two votes each.

We are here to meet conditions and solve problems which make this gathering not only no exception to the rule, but substantially « new departure. “That there should be strong convictions and their earnest expression as to preferences and policies is characteristic of the right of indi- vidual judgment, which is the fundamental principal of republicanism.

They were that the saved republic should be run by ite saviors; they were emancipation of ghe slaves, the re- construction of the states, the reception of those who had fought to destroy the public back into the fold, without penalties or punish- ments, and to an equal share with those who had fought and saved the nation, in the solemn obligations and inestimable privileges of Ameri- can citizenship. They were the embodiment into the Constitution of the principles for which two millions of men had fought and half million had died. They were the restoration of public credit, the resumption of specie pay- ments and the prosperous condition of solvent business. “For twenty-five years there were names with which to conjure, and events fresh in the public mind which were eloquent with popular enthusiasm. It needed little else than a recital of the glorious story of its heroes and a state- ment of the achievements of the republican ty to retain the confidence of the people. t from the desire for change which is char- acteristic of free governments there came a re- rersal, there came a check to the progress of the republican party and four years of demo- cratic administration.

CONFERENCE OF LEADERS. Both Sides Study ti Meaning of Last Night's Votes. Mrexzarours, Mrvx., June 10.—The coven- tion had scarcely adjourned when acall was issued for a conference of the leaders of both feotions in their separate rooms in the West Hotel, and the test vote was taken up and care- fully analyzed in detail, The result was to give even additional encouragement to the Harrison managers, who came to the conclusion that in certain states where the ms- jority had not received the vote expected the | President would gain several additional dele- { gates by the fact that the Blaine men who were instructed for Harrison would feel bound to follbw out their instructions when the ballot for the presidency came. All through the night conferences were hela in different parte of the hotel and emisaries wavering delegates to one or the other of the rival factions. The morning opened with the Harrison peo ple still confident, but the Blaine managers a» Bone the less determined. (CHAIRMAN CLARKSON. large number of telegrams this morning from Prominent men throughout the country, who hed heretofore b&en urging him to harmonize the opposition in support of the President, requesting him now to make every effort to bring about a reconcilia- tion of the warring factions by a union on some man who would be satisfactory ‘o both e- | ments. McKinley, Rusk, Reed and Allison ind | all been suggested in these telegrams. BITTER FEELING. One effect of last night's fight was visible on all sides on the opening today, and that was that the bitterness of feeling engendered in the contests in manifestations of the past week had grown to proportions which, in a measure, excite the apprehension of the more conserva- tive republicans. The Harrison people, of course, were inclined to be considerate. It is the rank and file of the Blaine forces, who, mourning and refus- ing to be comforted, concluded by uttering defiance to the administration candi- date. Justhow lasting this feeling will be of course no one can ray. Among the wrathiest people in Minneapolis today were sae darrison | members of the Kansas delegation. A KANSAS STAMPEDE, Report was current that Kansas was leading in movement away from Harrison tos thiré man. The exasperating part of the report was that it contained considerable truth. The facts, though circulating in an exag- gerated form, were alarming enough. Ten of the Kansas —_representa- tives, an exact half of the sunflower state dele- gation, were doing their utmost to cause a dark horse stampede, with McKinley as the proposed best candidate to unite upon. Delegate Eugene Ware of Fort Scott, who was a leader of the Harrison element, was particularly sore over the situation. He declared that the talk of a dark horse, while having been brought up in a meeting of the Kansas men, had resulted in no action, half of the delegates refusing to remain present if the discussion was allowed to There would be no further caucus of the kind, he passionately asserted. Mr. Ware would not deny that Ingalls and Perkins were the engineers of the Kansas dark- horse departure, and that both had made —— bois an entire new deal and the abandonment of Harrison and Blaine in favor of some other candidate less liable to factional resentment. Notwithstanding Mr. Ware's inti- mation that the Harrison half of the delegation had stemmed the tide and that the I Perkins movement was a failure, re- were current that Ingalls had succeeded in binding the Kansas delegation to vote as a “vith such an a a such an arra: ent and « gain of only ase. swag one convert the delegation wot away from Harrison.

It was evident that the convention would be late assembling. ‘The prospect this morning was that the sup- orters of Mr. Blaine would fight to the last itch. It was given out early that the contest over the report of the committee on credentials would be continued this morning and the bal- loting delayed as long as possible.
