EXCITING CONTEST FOR THE CONVENTION, New York's Original fcheme to Capture the Juioy Plum, FAVORS A SECRET COMMITTEE BALLOT. Thus Her Representatives Hope to Divide the Western Intereste, QUITE A LITTLE SENSATION IS SPRUNG. That a Polticians Spread the Repos Fight Oce and Harrison ed Between Blaine Factions, but it Was False, Wasmixoroy, D. C, Nov. 20.—|Special Telegram to Tk Ber.|—"No city has any thing like an approximation to a sure thing of securing the convention. In fact no can justiy lay claims to having the lead in the contest. All is uncertainty. 1 dow't be- lieve any place will have more than soven or ©'ght votes to start on or that any point will show much advantage until quite a number of ballots have been takon.” These are the words used by the leading mombers of the Omaha committee tonight to Tue Bre repre sentative, and thoy describe the situation in four sentences. Nearly all of the contestauts have their headquarters open. The majority of tho members of the na tional republican committeo are on the ground. The work of the various committees sceking the convention s progressing lively. It will not b before the arguments are heard t anything like a rational idea of the strength of any city can be had. Omaha's Originnl Proposition. Omaha is making progress toward the goal by standing firmly by her original argu ments, that the convention if located in Ny braska will do more good politically than it could if it went to any other poiut: that she offers ample accommodations and more po- litical returns than can be had elsewhere; she claims to be in tho zateway belween the east and westund to have all the advan- tages of cither San Francisco or Minneapolis and none of the disadvantages. Acting Chairman Clarkson said today that it would be a bad example to give the con- vention to the Pacific slope simply because Ban Francisco would pay the expenses of the delegates, He did not believe a financial consideration should have any weight. This argument is being turned azainst New Yor by the eutiro west, which says that city hopes to get the couvention because she offers to spend $100,000 entortaining the con- vention or give that sum to the national com- mittee for political purpose. Chicago continues 10 keop in the background, and hopes that a spirited contest witl arise which will mako 1t impracticable for the convention to go to any city in the race. There appears to be no tendency, so far, to locate the convention i a city which does not seek it. Gotham's Sceret Ballot Scheme, There was a report circulated this afternoon 10 tho effect that in New York an agreement had been entered into between a number of tho eastern committeemen by which a secret ballot would be taken when it came to voting in commitiee, and that this was in the intor est of Giotham, the theory being that somo western committeemen would voto for New York if their action would not become known to their constituency. ‘This started a move on tne part of tho representutives beyond the Mississippi who have twenty-two votes in convention, for a line of action offensive and defensive. An understanding has been reached whercby these committeemen will rofuso to vote for an eastern city under any circumstances, and witl oppose a secret, ballot at any stage of the game. The theory is that with an onen ballot no committeeman be- yond the Mississippt would ever voto to locate the convention in New York, and as that section has a majority of the commictee or can coutrol it, the east must cowe to the west, Cincinnati Resting On Her Oars, Cinciunati is restng on her oars, confident that the contest will yet become one between sections, and that she will be the compromise, the ceutor of population. Cinein nati will prosent written p'adges from her newspaners to ot boom any candidato and to give all an equal hearing, also a written pledge and plan by which the anrvaagements about the convention hall shall be such as will make it impossible to keep out any class or faction or pack the hall in the interest of any candidate, guaranteeing strict neutrality and fawness, This Omaha will also do. The Omana committee and the Nobraska co-laborers are in good cheer tonight. They can sea nothing to discourago thom. They believe that tho east must go _the wost, aud since they have wore political aavantages and all the “other arguments to offer, thore is no reason why they have not as good, if not botter, grounds for anticipating success thau any other city. Omaha's Headquarters Crowded, Thelr headquarters have been crowded all Qay with prominent men, This morning tho committee were joined by a largo number of other citizeas and calied upon President Har rison. The president received them very cordiully, but declined to indicate that he had any interest in the contest for tho con vention, It is a fact that ne has done nothing and vefuses to do anything, one way or tho other, in the matter. Tomght General Batehelder, Colonel Barr, Colonel Mike Sheridan avd Colouel Luding- ton of the aviny were among the hundreds of callors at the Omaba headquarters, Mus. S, D.

Something of a Sensation. A statement was published in this morn- ing's Post to the effect that at a meeting of the.Omaha committee, held at Sonator Man- derson’s house last night, a spirited contest arose between the Blaine and Harrison to tions. and that in the selcction of a man represent Judge W. M. Robertson on the national committeo a wrangle aroso whether ho should be a Blaine or IHar man, in which the former won by the selec- tion of John M. Thurston. The statement proved to bo the scnsation of the morning around the headquarters of the committees from the various citics in the convention cont There is not a word of truth in tho statement. Four or five members of the Omaha committce wer put in pomivation at the meeting last night and wero carnestly advocated by their was the finest humor throughout the proceedings, and so far as Tue Bee correspondent can learn, and he attended the meoting, no one at the time thousht of Blaine or Iarrison in connection with Mr. Robertsor’s proxy. The announce- ment, however, created some spirit among the friends of the two presidential possibili- ties, and it may possibly encurage somo of them to have a littie good natured tilt now and then just to give zest to the work during the coming week. Up tothis moment neither the president nor Mr. Blaine, nor any friend speuking for them, has shown the least inter- est in tne question of locating the conven- tion, iriends, bat there hurston or Annin Will Plead.

C., Nov. 2L.—The mem- bors of the Nobraska delegation now in Washington for the purpose of urging the selection of Omaha as the place of meeting of the next republican national convention, called at the white house in a body this morn- ingund paid their compliments to the presi- dent. The visitors were cordially received, but were uaable to persuade the president to express a preforence for the city. The members of the delegation from the uorthwest, favoring Minneapolis as the con vention city, also called on the presiden Jater in the day, but they were equally un- successful in causing the president to cou mit bimself. The advance guard of delegatos who aro nere for the purpose of urging the claims of HOW Asy i ng Cincinnati for the convention was re- inforced during the afternoon by the arrival of the following persons Rep- resentatives Caldwell nd Storer, W. A Teuney, George B. Cox, Rudolph Hynecka, D. G. Edwards, S. B, Dunbar, BE. O. Esh clby, August Herma, H. A. Morehead, John Goetz, jr., D. C. Shearer, Amer Smith, jr., T, W. Zinmerman, Louis Rinkenberger, Colonel W. L. Roviason, E. Roth and D, . Shears. Governor-elect MeKiuloy is ex pected tonight and ex Governor Foraker to. morrow. Senator Sherman is also expected s0mwe time before the meetin of the commit- teo on Mouday. The full Cincinnati delega- tion bave now taken possession of their head- quarters, and are prosecuting the work be fore them with yigor, New York City's delogation reached the city about 4 0'clock by special train, via the Ponusylvama railroad. Most of them are stopping at the Arlington hotel, where their neadquarters are. ‘There were upwards of 100 men in the delogation, representing the vepublican clubs of the city of New York, the Hotel Men’s association and the gen eral ciuzens committes, uppointed to urge before the uatioual re publican committee the holding of the next repuolican convention in New York Among the delogates are Hon. Elliott F. Shepard, General Collls and Senator i architectse show under the guidanco of M. H. De Young of the Chronicle, and Omaha's demand is be preseuted by Editor lRose- w ng vigorously or of Tite Bre. Colonel A, J. Blothen of Minneapolis ve- views the situation tonight in this way: ““There 1s an undercurrent favorable to the northwest, and emphatical for the west as a whole. The west objects to Now York for sentimental reasons. ‘The west believes that no polizical aid could come from holding the republican convention in New York. The west s emphatie in its declaration that to hold the convention in the Mississippt or Missouri valloy will give aid to the repub- lican cause. The west believes that such a wave of en thusiasm would be created as to insure the absolute control of the party of the entire western and northwestern states, even to the reclumation of lowa. But the wost just as radisally believes that to hold the convention in New York 1s to surrender to Wall street. While this is puerility, so far as the actual facts aro concerncd, every man here from Minneapolis, Omaha and California would swear that it would cost the republicans of the Mississippi and Missouri valleys one- quarter of the granger vote, which simply means defeat in Minnosota, lowa and Kan- sas, and doubtful results in Wisconsin and Montuna. “Minneapolis, Omaha and California are emphatic for au open ballot when the time comes, that tho country may Know just how each member of the committee casts his vote. There is a ramor that the committee are d cussing the propriety of a secret bullot,which the west construos to be in favor of New York City. Governor Hill's presenco at the Arliogton gave risd to the rumor that he was favorable to New York's chances.” The New York delegation held a meeting with closed doors at o'clock in the evening, The New Yorkers say they will have twelvo votes on the first ballot. They are hopeful that the prize will come to them and they have begun to work hard for it. Hon, J. S. Fassett, the member of tho national committeo from New York and also secre- tary of the committee, said tonight that he was far New York City first, last and all the time. Detroi Us advance guard was reinforeed to- night by the arrival of alarge number of gentlemen from that city and ot her parts of Michigan. Tho delegates will have the as- sistance tiero of Senator Stockvridee and other ofticials of the government from Mich- izan. ‘They expect, thoy say, to got a plural- ity of the votes of the committee on the fivst ballot. ‘The manner i which Detroit cared for the Grand Avmy of the Republic last summer, tho delozates say, will influsnce some votes 1 thew favor. Kindly Feeling for Omaha. The Omaba people say tonight that . there is a kindly feeling in favor of theiv city mani- fested by the committeemen called upon. They are feeling as much encouraged as they can well foel at this stage of the game. It Is very ovident, the delegates say, that the sen- timent is fast crystallizing in favor of the convention going west, for the reason that its influence 15 more needed in that scction of the country than in any other. Senator Pad- dock said that thero was more sentiment for Omaha for the first and second choice than for any other ity contesting for the conven- on. "lie Minueapolis people ave also expressing thomselves in a hop-ful strain toulght. They e not making public any figures, but they say that they expect to hive asufficient num- ber of the votes on_the. first ballot, which, when added to those Omaha claims, will make a majority of all the votes cast. The delogates look to New England for some votes for that scction of the country is lavgely interested, in a commercial way, with the uorthwest, and particularly with Minnesota. M. H, DeYoung, the member of the na- tional committee from Calitornia, is gatitied at the progress that San Francisco is making in her fight for the convention. There is going to_ be n long drawn out’ contest, he said tonight, but San Faancisco will get the prize. The prospects for it never looked vrighter than they do tonight. Representative Caldwell, who is the Cmcinuati delezation, said there was nothing positivo as to the re- suit, but the delogatiun, felt very hope- ful ' of securidg the 'prize. The city of Cinciunati was not antagonizing any avher city. Ohio had stool by the principles of the republican party in the recent clections and doserved the honor of having the next na- tional convention within her border: The canvassing among the delerates was kept up until after midnight, The lobbies of the notels and the headquarters of the various delegations were crowdec with busy workers, Very few members of the national committee, whose vreferencos are not. deter- mined upon, would commit themselves to vote for any city. Nearly all the members of the national committeo are now in the city, or are ropresented by proxies, and those uot here are expectod tomorrow.
