Hence, it remains to be seen how much the intentions of our dolegation will be made manifest. ‘Harrison's son has & fatheran-law in Nobraska formerly senator, and nimself an office holder, to keep aown the active propensities of Utah, Never be- Vleve that Nebraska and Kansas, like the Dakotas and Miunesota ana Wisconsin, Michigan Blaine.’ The speaker was an old friend of William H.

P. Williams, C. H. Gere, J. L. Webster, Judge Cobb and others announced that obedience to instructions would compel the united delegation to sup- port President Harrison. National Committeeman Robertson suid: ““Tho atate in my judgment is for Harrison, and [ cannol see how the delegates can fail 10 voice its wishes.” . P. Williums sefd: *President Harrison has Nebraska republicans' best wishes, and the delogation will b for him Arst, last and all the time, if instructions mean anything.” Bditor Gero said: “Mr. Blaine's resigna- tion in my juagment is bound to injure him. He has been taken at Lis word and 1t is too 1ate for him to recall his words. Nebraska i+ for Harrison and will vote for him, work Tor him and give him her electoral vote.” The irropressiblo Church Howe added his word to tho consonsus of sentiment. He said he believed Nebraska republicans would stand by instructions, “The state,” said Mr. Howe, “Is close. et the people who in- struoted for Mr. Harrison tako any responsi- Dility for possible bad judgment.” I believe Harrison wiil bo nominated and elected.” There are a number of Nebraskans already here, All of tho dolegation except Stewart and Chadwick are on the ground.

A RUMORS AND RUMORS, Difforent Views of the Situation—Warner Millor Arrives. MiNNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 5.—Around the hoadquarters of a number of delesations which have arrived here inguiry shows that the changes, as a result of the resignation from the cabinet of Blaine, haye not been so numerous as many persons expected. In- doed, in many delegations, the reports thus far do ot indicate any change, In otters, notably South Dakota and Texas, the changes have been marked. A great many delegatos, howevar, are to be put on the doubtful lisy and nothing 2an bo prodicted of these men, a8 they are awaiting the incoming of other delegatos, perbaps & majority of whom have yet to arrive, before aunouncing themselves dofinitely. The political chess board is being worked with skill and vigor, notwithstanding this is Sunday. One of the roports was to the ef- fect that Depew and Hiscock had a scheme on foot by which the New York delegation ‘was to be divided and strenzth taken from Mr. Blaine where he noeds it most. The rumor was that two mombers of tho big four, knowing the friendship of Mr. Warner Miller for Senator Sherman. intended to join forces with him, provided he would agree to urge Seuutor Sherman’s candidacy. Tho effect of such a lessening of the Blaine strength in one of the pivotal states is ob- vious, but so far as could be learned there was no truth in it, all persons alleged to be parties to it denying that it was a fact. How Warner Miller Stands, Mr. Warner Mitler arrived in the city enrly in the morning and was at once askod for an interview as to his position on tho presidential contest. Mr. Miller smd that be had just arrived and was not prepared to talk .for publication until he could have a conference with his friends. From Miller's frienas it was learned that his position was tho same as it bad always boen. He was op- posed to Mr. Harrison as tho nominee and was prepared to vote for Mr. Blaine. The Now York delegation will take a poll of the delegation to ascertain just whero it stands. Sheridan, Hook was ‘enthusiastically for Blane, putting his strength av fifty from New: York, and declaring that the man from Maine could win the fight in New York if nominated. Representative Quackenbush of northern New York was a strong Harrison man, and, according to his figures, the delogation stood evenly divided s0 far as tho twoleaders were concerned, each having thirty-two votes. Eight of these Harrison voters, Lo said, came from New York City and seven from Brooklyn. Mr. Quackenbush thought the resignation had sirengthened tho Harrison men in New York, At the Harrison hend- quarters they figured their New York votes ut twenty-six. Mr, Platte says that Harrison has not over seventeen votes in New York state. Injured Blalne In New Jersey. Tho New Jersey dclegation got in this morning with General Sowell, their leader, at its head. Genera) Sewell wus originally « Blaine man, but he is a strong personal friend of the president and will head the del- egation in line solidly for Mr. Harrison 1f it be possible, Represontative Buchanan Is not a delegate but Le accompanied the delegation here. Ho s01d that there were three of the delegation not with the party. All on board were Har- rison men and about the absentees he had no Xnowleage. Speaking of the Blaine resig- nation Mr. Buchanau said: *‘Yes, I do think that letter bad somo effect; it stiffened the Hurrison men. Most of the New Jerseyites were Blaine men. They took him at his word. They then decided for Harrison aud will stand by him.” Congressman Bergen, from further north in the state, said that he thought there was one Blaine man in the delogation and he added: *“He ought not to be,” Harrison Men Pleased with the Outlook. At the Harrison headauarters, away up at tho top of tho West hotel, men ' were being sent out to buttonhole deiegates and others, Land Commissioner Carter and Mr. Michener were on hand to recoive the assurances of those who came in, Mr. Carter said: “We aro perfectly sorene. The people at head- quarters aro absolutely confident. They have received assurances that their dele- gations are going to stand firm." Powell Clayton was present and said Ar- kansas would not change, General Cogswell, & strong farrison man, was also there, having arrived abead of the delecation, He s “Before the announee- ment I think Harrison had a clean wmajority of the votes. | think the announcement. has made the Harrison men twice as strong as ever, ‘These sunouncements have made the Harrison mon quite confident and they ap- . peared to have recovered from the first alarm &t the change in affairs." Sublime Assurance of the Bl Men, A story was in circulation at the Harrison . beadquarters to the offect that tomorrow #r, Blaine would withdraw from the race, but it is pronounced a canard by Mr. Blaine's frienas, Some one expressed to Mr. Boutelie, doubts that Blaine could bo nominated. “Why, he will bo nominated without any lroublu"nn the first balloy, and be will cep 'l‘hle South Dakota delegation reached town early in the morning. Senator Petti- rew said that the delegation stood four for alne anc four for Harrison, and he had strong hope that it would be solid for Blaine. The state has been regularly counted for Harrison. The Harrison mon acknowleaged this, but claimed tnatit will aover bo solid for Blaine. Mr. McComas and othors are doing their vest to hold Marylana for Hurnson, butit is admitted that four of tho delegation are shaky, and their votus dannot be relied upon. DELEGATIONS CAUCUSING, Beoret Sessions Held—Guesses #t Blaine's New York Strength, MixxearoLis, Mion,, June 5.—Caucusing, the Inevitable aocompaniment of a troublous situation anywhere, bogan here this afier- noon. New Yorkded the caucus movement. The gelegation from the Empire stato, or rother & large part of the memoership, got to- other betund closed doors at the New York 1o the West hotel. The spac- were well filled. J. Sloat Fassett LD - e e —m‘ that forty-ono New soventy-Lwo vales will 09 and Towa, are not heartily for | cast for Blaine on tho first ballot. There ‘was a number of notable absentees from the cnucus. Senator Hiscoek was one. Chauncey Depew only looked in, It was decided to hold another cancus tomorrow. Probably the most notable outgrowth of the New York caucus was the talk as to the organization of a general caucus tomorrow before the convention assembied, or at least beforo the balloting began. A caucus of the entire 900 delegates was not discussed, how- ever. The idea is that after each state dele gation has elooted its chairman, be should ba taken for the stato's representative for a general caucus. In such an ovent 1t was argued that the caucus would be composed of the pick of the convention, and would not prove unwieldy. Indiana also hind a caucus. General Low Walluco said the Indiana delegation in their gathering decided to staud solidly for Harri- son from tbe opening to the close of the convention, come what may, No other action was taken. CON Its Decorations au Mixxearois, Minn., June 5.—The conven- tion hall, which is to be dedicatea by a na- tional concert tomorrow evening. is regarded by experts as suporior to any of past conven- tions—not only as to its accoustic qualities but in the taste of its decoration, The atorn- ment of the interior has just been combloted and today for tho first time a visit to the hall gave the visitor accurate 1doas of what art and ingenuity have done to make the open- ing scenes of the convention spectacies long to bo remembercd. The decorations, in their perfect ensemble, display all the genius of a Worth, They are in no sense elaborate either in color or in drapery, but they are digmiied and becoming. Natlonal Colors ¥ rywhere, The national colors here dominate, as is fitting on such an occasion. There are in- scribed on pillars of bronzo at points of vautage the cardinal principles of the na- tional party. The domo of the conventio nall is supportod by a series of coluros, around which havo been gathered in folds chocolate colored drapery interwined with sheaves of Minnesota wheat. The heavy timbers supporting the dome are painted 10 bluo colors, spanglod with stars. ‘The quadrilateral, in' whick the delo- gations will sit, is immediately 1n front of the chairman’s platform, the latter, in fact, forming one sido of 1t. Between the central columns on either side have been festooaed the national colors, the folds ot tho flags di- vided and held in tho taloas of an American eagle, In the rear form the same docorations pre- vailed and on either side of it a column has been surrounded with old gold displaying sheaves of wheat, on which is perched an eagle contemplating the auditoriura below and appearing to be on the eve of flying. On the right of the platform has been placed a handsome apright urn of bronze. How the Delegations Will Sit. Suspended from pillars skirting the soats assigned to delegates are the shields, flags and banners of the states; us the chairman faces the audience are seen tho arms of Ver- mont, Alabama, South Dakota, Missou Massachusetts, Iinnois, Minnesota, Wis- consin, Rhode Island, California, North Da- kota, Maryland, Georgia, Maine, Indiana, Virginia aud Ohlo. Above the arms of other states and territories are ex- hitited as follows: Commeneing as be- fore on the chairman’s right hana, Delaware, Iuano, lows, Arizona, Ransas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montaua, Nebraska, Texas, Now Hampshire, New Jerse; District of Columbia, Oklahoma, New Mexico, West Virginia, South Carolina, Oregon, Washington, Utab, Novada, A kansas, Connecticut and Florida. Tho delegates-at-large, the national com- mitteemen and the alternates wiil bo readily recognizable. Tho soats assigned to the spectators in the gallery will afford an ex- cellent and satisfactory view of the pro- coedings of the convention and thers is con- siderable space between them. Thouarrange- ments in this regard surpass those of any other convention halls. Opeaiugs into lareo rooms and corridors of the building are found iu gvery section and room aisles Lraverso the all. It is o Thing of Benuty, The olevated bund stand has been decor- uted and i ituated immediately over the main stairway leading to the hall. The grand stairway has been profusely orna- mented and is brilliant with color. Yester- aay afternoon workmen and docorators were vusily engaged In completing the work of adorning the hall, the remaining interior and the exterior of the building. Quite a num- ber of ladies and gentloren wore inspecting the scene of the coming convention and praised the taste waich had suggested and executed the uecorauons, It is thought that the audience which will aviend Monday’s concert will be ono of the most interesting congregations of persous ever assembled in this country. Thousands of ladics will at- tend and t.e hall on that occasion will be filled with tos<bion and wealth. The building will be fitted with divers commorcial facitities to_contribute to the coinfort of the delogates and to aid news- paper mwen in the rapid transmission of nows. CAUGHT O THE ROAD. Delegations Interviewed at Chicago — Blaine's Action Unpopular, Ciicao, IiL, June 5.—Large crowds of re- publicans on their way to the Minneapolis convention were at the hotels today. The toplo of conversation was the Blaine resig- nation and while Mr. Blaine's adherents wero enthusiastic, Harrison men held stead- 1ly to thelr faith. Some members of the Cincinnati Blaine club created & sensation by appearing with bands full of waving pampas plumes and heads. *‘American Wheat," “Protoc- ‘the Plumed Knight,” were the cries and the crowd took them up. Alger had a littlo boom on the arrival of a delegation of prominent men from Michigan, R. B. Hawley of Galveston. Tex., declared he would vote for Harrison and if jho presi- dent is not to be the candidate then for Blaine. The Texas delegation, said he, is largely tor Harrison. B. B. Smith of Toiedo said the Ohio aele- gation bad divided—Blaine, 20; Harrison, 26. The Conuecticut delegation remained in the city but a short time. The majority of the delogates are said to bo for Blaine. B. Wilson Smith, postmaster of Lafayotte, Ind., talked warmiy for Harrison, and suid it was astonishing how many Harrison mon the lotter of resignation made 1 Lafayette yesterday. £ REACTING IN FAVOR OF HARRISON, Delegates Who Have Not Boen Atcracted by Bisine Magnetis MixNearorss, Mionn, June 5.—The silent soldier of the Harrson forces, ex-Attorney General Michener of Indiana, seemed to feel this evening that he had matters sufficlently well 1 hand to step aside for a moment. Hesaid: “The reaction today bas been dis- tinetly o favor of the president. 1 counted four men 1n one stato alone who are claimed for Blaine who bave, siuce the latter's resig- uation and in @ measuro as a result of that action, boen brought to the support of Gen- eral Harvison, and have siguified their in- tention to cast their votes for him in the con- vention, This is only an instance of many similar chunges constituting almost a general movement today. The president's trien bave not from the start felt themselves in such @ strong position as now, or in boter shape for aggressive action. Our figures in- dicate, apparantly beyoud question, the first ballot wiil result in the renomination of the president.” ouE ED TO THE ECHO. husiasm Created by the Arrival of w Marrison Club, Mixxeapors, Minn, June 5.-—The hig event of the day from a spectacular stand- poiut was the arrival and receptiou of the banner Harrison reiuforcement—the Colum- bia club of Iudianspolis, With light groy hats and loog dusters, preceded by & Minueapolis escort in scariet, tue loug line of Columulans came up the street from (ho anpot to the West hotel with bands playiug musio that was beuer than @ tonic for the Harrison leglons already on the ground. Cheers wet them uiovery street coraer. Toe Columbiaus presouted & splenuidly disciplined appearance as they marcbed straight nto the thickest of the linen , THE fray—the rotunda of the West hotel—and procoeded to take possession of eversthing 10 sight, Around the soiid whits phalaax forinsd by the hats and dusters of the columns surged a biack-hatted, dark-clothed mob of delogates and camp followers, yelling like indians, tho uproar sounding loud, first for Harrison and then drowned momentarily by shrieks for Blaine. The Columbia club momoers held their ground manfully in the rush of friends and foes and struck up a rousing Harrison campaign song. T'ho burdon of the song was that the president was a vote eetter, and in the chorus ho was the “Man from Indianer, That's What's S'matter wid Hanner.” He s for the Nominoe. One of the more enthusiastic of the Harri- sonians grasped General Fairbank by the arm and catechised him as to who he was for. “Oh, I'm for the nominea,”” sald Fair- bank, imperturobably. A tremendous stout for Blaine would be heard as somo of his supporters. got togethor ard overbore a stray Harrisonian who had attempted an argument or cheer for the pres- idont. The Harrison men would rally, seemingly springing out of the floor, so quickly would they gather, and the Sabbath atmosphero and tobicco smoke would be rept in twain by the wild whoops of the opposing cohorts.

ALGER HAS NOT WITHDRAWN, His Fricuds Emphatically Deny the Report. —Bllly Mahone's Work. MiNNEAPOLIS, Mun., June 5.—Quite a sen- sation was created tonight by a rumor which spread like wildfire through the hotels that General Alger had retired from the contest in favor of Blaine. The Blaine people did considerable shouting on the strength of this report, and the knowiedge that a majority of the Michigan delegation aro fricndly to Blaine eaused general credence to be given to the ramor. A thorough 1nvestigation of the matter, however, established the falsity of the statement. The Michigan delegation and leading Michigan politicians, so far as seen, deny the report. Colonel Duftieid of Mickigan, a porsonal representative of General Alger, and the man who 1s to place him in nowination, said he had heard nothing of the contemplated withdrawal of the general, and that he ex- pected to place him in npmination in the con- veution, Iv was stated later that a telezram had merely been received from the general by a personal friond in the delogation, in which Alger stated that he did not desire to be con- sidered antagonistic to the candidacy of Blaine. The interpretation of this was that whenever it seemed likely that Blaine was to secure the nomination from the convention 1ho Alger people would merely withdraw the name of their candidate and move to make Blaine's nomination unanimous, Mahone is for Alger. Mahone is for Alger. teis not taking auy very prominent part in the present con- test, except that he is very desirous of de- feating the reuomination of President Har- vison. “It'seems to me that Bleine is in it very decidedly,” he said. “How about a dark horse?” “That does not look very likely, but if there isto bo a dark horse Iam for Alger, Ho is the man who took tho stand which made it possivle to defeat the renomination of Harrison sud besides o is the man who can win.” FORAKER DOES SOME TALKING. He Will Place Blaiue In Nomination— Shorman and Dhion: Mixxearonis, Minn,, June 5.—No man has been more occupied during the day than ex- Governor Joseph B. Foraker of Obio, He has engaged spacious headquarters in a con- venient place in a leading hotel, and nis rooms are crowded day and night with visiv- ors. The knowledge that 1t is hewho is to place Blaine iu nomination makes him the object of more than usual intorest. “What has been the effect of Blaine's resignation on the contest?’ ex-Goveruor Foraker was asked tonight, *“I'he effect hos been to remove all doubt as to bis willingress to accupt if nominated.” “Do you think that Blamne will be nom- inated Yes, 1 do.

HARRISON NOT ALA Time of tho Prosident Occupled as Usanl at Washington. Wasmixaroy, D. €, June 5.—[Special Telogeam to Dite Bar.|—A welcomo calm tas succoeded the excitement of yosterday, and today has passed with absolutely no now developments, Taeo politicians who ronfain in Washington were glad of the op- portunity afforded by the day of vest to sur- vey the situation in the light of the doings of the day before, and they conteibuted uothing to more heighton the interest with which the proceedings at Minneapolis are univer- sally regarded. At the white house every- thing was calm and serene. Prosident Har- rison attended church this morning as usual, and took part in the communion servics at the ciose of tho public exercises. In tho afternoon ho went driving with Mr. McKee, who had just arrived, and the day was passed the same us other Sundays, There was no display of anxiety or of &ny special interest in the fact that the con- vention was to close at once. Secretaries Eikins ucd Foster and Attorney General Miller calied during the day and’ tad a few. minutes’ conversation with the president, but the story that they were espeefally called to confer with Mr. Harrison is entirely without foundation. There was very littlo interchange of dis- patches botwoen the white house and Minne- apolis, only two mossages being received from administration headquarters at the convention city. A number of communica- tions, however, came in from other parts of the country, and they werc -all of a satisfac- tory and encouraging nature to the pros- ident, and showed that his supporters intend 10 stay by bim to the last. Blaine Watching the Wires, Mr. Blaino also spent the day very quiet!y. At about 11 o'clock be wewt out driving with Mrs. Blaine, and later in the afternoon took another airing in the eclegant equipment of Representative Hitt, who, duving his own avsence, bas placed bis team at Mr. Dlaine’ disposal in the hiterim. A number of callers endeavored to seo him, but a very fow were admitted, One of those was Senator Chan- aler of New Hampshire, and during his stay sevaral telegrams 'Te sent out. ‘There is nothini of a definite naturo to bo losrried as to who Presigent Harvison will appoint to_succeed Mr. Blain s secrotary of state.

This is r gardea by the adminisiration men as an ev dence that, the secretary’s coup d'stat has not been so positive in the effectas its author had intended. The situation does not appear to have been altered in tho least by yesteraay’s developmeuts and tho Harrison men are not at all uneasy as to the outcome of the week at Minncapolis.

How Michigan Will Vote, In the matter of sentiment of state deloga- tious thero are many conflicting opinions, The Michivan people are are undocided as yot as to whether Alger will come bafore the convention. Some of his friends inumated that in view of the fact that e is a strong Blaiue man himself be may not allow his name to come up for consideration, but all that is mere conjecture, It is stated by Col- onel Atkiason of Detroit that as between Harrison und Blaine the latter will have ali but o few of the delegation.

He said Chauncey M. Depew, and added that Mr. Depew had accopted. At tho headquarters of the Maino deloga- tion 1t was stated that no one bhad been selocted to present Mr. Blaine's name aod it was uot kaown whether ho would formally bo placed in nomination or not.

Carleton the First Woman to,Sit in a Natlonal Conventio MiNNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 5.—The unique spectacle of lady delegates to a national con- vention is a matter of unceasing interest to- day to the old time politicians of the party. Mrs. G. C. Carieton, one of the two women delegates from Wyoming, was the recipient of numorous cails today from the party leaders nad reccived numerous congratula- tions on the triumph of her sex 1n obtaining recoguition in the far wost. Mrs. Carleton is of medium height, rather slender and is a decided brunotte. Her voice and musical enunciation ure hor groutest charms, and few women are so well fitted for public speaking. “For twenty years,” sad Mrs. Carloto “Wyoming bus enjoyed woman suffrage and tho” women have voted as naturally as they Lave fulfilled any of the duties of life; thero bas never been anything disagreeable con- nected with going to the polls; the right has been oxercised freely, as a matter of course.” Mrs. Carleton is quite up on the situation and appears 1o kno is going on. NNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 5.—Ex-Senator Warner .Miller of New York at midnight made the following statement, declaring for Blaine, the choice of the majority of the New York republicans: ©I have arrived here after six weoks' travel over the country, in wbich 1 have not been able to conter with my friends in New York. Since comiug here i have consuited with as many of the delegutes as I could meot in the short time I have beon here. I find & largs majority of the delogation aro decidoaly in favor of Mr. Blaine as repro- senting their constituents, 1 will support Mr. Biaine in the convention.” “This is tho first official announcement from Mr. Miller since the opening of the cam- paign, and is regardod hero as of grest sig- uificance and likely to influence tho action of the convention to a considerable extent. It is said that this gives Mr. Blaine at least forty-six votes from New York in the con- vention, leaving not more than twenty-six votes for Mr. Harrison, aud it is elaimed by the anti-administration men that ot least four of these twenty-six votes should prop- erly be put in the doubtful column. London Press Co Loxboy, June nents, Most of the morning papers devote space to a discussion of Mr. Blalue's chances of obtaining the presidency. The News says that the comiog election will be primarily a conflict of principlos, not a conflict of wen. Tho Chronicle thinks ghat Mr. Blaine may be seasoned over, as ho Lus been bofore, solely because rivals aitogether inferior to himself gre jealous of his name and fume. ‘ihe Standard thinks that Blaine will be the favorite, as compared with Mr. Harri- 00, Aud adUs that as the democratic candi- Gate 13 wimost ogually cortaiu to be Mr. Cleveland, lively times arein store for the peonlo of the United States. ‘l'ue Graphic says: “If Mr. Blaine's ros- ignation from the cabLLEL MEADL his relire- ment from public life it would bo a real misfortune for America, Happily, the death 10 which he is committed is illumin- ated by the hope of a splendid resurrection.” Clncluniti's Blaine Club, Cmicaco, IlL, Juue “The Cincinoati Young Men’s Blaine club arrived hore this morning 200 strong. Many prominent re- publicans of Onio were in tho party aud thoir eytbusiasm for “Blaine sud reciproo- ity" seemed 1o bo contagious. ‘Mayor John B, Mosby of Cincinnat said : I my opiuion Harrison’s nawo wiil not go before the conveutiou. He can't consclen- tiously allow it to stand, because he distinotly said be would not run if Blane decided to be a candidute. Of courso Blaiue's resignation weans that ho 1s aidate aud it cannot bo otherwise construed. Callfornin's Dolegatios MiNsEAroLls, Mina,, June M.
