The Nevada senator charged Harrison with boing a dangerous man, be. cause of his veto propensities, and declared that the president had threatenea to veto a freo coinage bill, Judge Spence contradicted Senator Jones point blank, and gave tit for tat to the radi- cal pro-silver Blaine elomont in ths caucus. Ho procloimed that if a split was brovglit in tho republican party throush tho action of tho convontion, tho biame would rest on Blaine, who after o lfetime's work that they ol approved had ylolded in his old age to the blandishments of & parcel of selfish political bosses, “Thio caucus was now in an uproar, and the Biaine men shouting and chearing for thoir favorite man, with such a showing of strength that Harrison men might as well have been in Manitoba.

Kvery passing hour only tends to more and more convince the casual observer that the contest is to ben bitter one, and the presence of the large number of dele- gates in the city and the meetings of the various state delegations today gave an opportunity for ascer- taining tho relative strength of Blaine and Harrison in cach of the delegations. Ina goneral way it shows that Blaine has gained in thoe east and in the extreme west, but that Harrison has more than held his own in the most of the lake states and the region be- tween the Rockics and tho Alleghanies, but the south continues to be a subject of the wildest speculation, How most of those states will ultimately vote no one knows, and of the means that are being exerted by both factions to gain tho allegiance of the delogates much is suid that is unworthy of the gravity of the situation. Claims of the Alger Men. Tho question now which is the subject of most speculation is, how many candidates are there to bo1n the field! The leaders of both the Blaine and Harrison forces have been proceeding upon tho presumption that Michigan will not present Alger and that the tield would be left clear to the two great competitors. The action of the Michigan delegation today in reasserting their loyalty 10 the Wolverine candidate scoms, however, to indicate that this prosumpuion is unwar- ranted. Indeed tho Alger managers aro to- nuht claiming sixty votes for their candi- dute, in addition to 81 support of Michigan, He will receive many votes from the west and south. 2 In the event of Alger withdrawing the Blaine people waintain that their candidate will receive every vote of the Michigan dele- gation except two, and the Hurrisor man- agers conceded that the great majcrity of the Michigan delcgat on would probably go to Bluine, Waxlng Warm, Tue events of the duy have tended to in- creaso the aumosily which has been con- stautly brewing tetwen the twoleading fac- uops, Heated argumnts botween inaivid- uals buve resulted in personal encounters ou three or four occusions during the day, aud ouce or Lwice it scemad us though o ‘small sizod riot wight te precivitated. When tho Blaiue contingent from tue state of Indiana marcoed trijumpbantiy through the streets aud invaded the rotunda of the West hotel a wave of indiguution swept over the Harri- son people, which curried vway the judg- meni of some of their leaders for u brief periud and noarly resulted in o disgraceful sceve, ‘Ine picture of Blaine, which was borie at the head of the column, and the nunouncement from tho throalts of seole ot cheering Iudianons that Blaine Wwas the chuice of the rank and tile of republicanism of that state, exciied vongelul iry from the Harrison men of the Hoosfer stats. Accounts differ as to who raised the cry, but noone denies that somo one of the Hurrison republicans said that Loy demandod that the Blaine banuer shouly wrn down.

The interview, as a whole, has sincs boen denied, but wo have no doubt that this particular staterent {s trus. “Mr. Blaine. though often credited with mysterious plans and adroit wire pulling, 1s, in faci, one of tho sincerest and most straightforward of mon. He said four years ago ho was not a candidate for tho presi dency and could not take the nomination, At that moment he was absolutely sure of the nomination and, as we think, of election, but be meant exactly what bo said. He stuck 10 1%, and aven sent an appeal by cable to his friendg in vhe midst of the convention to stop the successful strugglo for him. This time he has said exactly the same thing. To many friends, within the past fortnight, ho has repeated that he does not wish the nomina- tion and could not be a candidate for it. We see no warrant for the offensive assumption that he has not meant what he said, just as he was proved to mean what he said in his withdrawal in 1885, which tho wholn world rocognized ns tho groatost and most extra- ordinary act of magnanimous self-renuncia- tion ever displayed by an American states- man. “Undoubtedly a spontaneous and unani- mous nomination, either as tho result of an original demand or as the only esnape from a deadlock, would compel his acceptance, as it would that of any other Awmerican oitizen of the republican falth, and it would have com- lled his own acceptance in 1883, But that s a contingency which the situation at Min- neopolis scarcely seems to muke probable, and we fecl confident that it is not a contin- gerrcy which the Bayard of Amorican states- men himself contemplates or would welcome. ‘*Wae therefore see no reason to changoe the opinion already cxpressed that the probabili- ties still point to the renomination and re- eloction of President Harrison, ““Whatever happens, we beg our friends in Minncapolis that their business is to nomin- ate, on a sound plutform, a winning man without provoking discontent and serious lack of harmony in (ko campaign. Whoever fails to work and devote his best enorgies to this end betrays his party.” TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN. J. Slont Fassett of New York Has Beon Agreed On, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 8.—The selec- tion of the temporary chairman of the na- tional convention has been a feat which ex- hausted all the subtle resources of both factions. The meeting of the national com- mittee this morning consumed an hour or two witnout any tangible result, and ali*the afternoon and early evening was consumed in negotiations which were equally fruitless. When the committee met this morning it becamo early wmanifest that a compromise over tho selection of permanent chairman would be very difficult indeed. The candi- date of the Blaite members of the committee was J. Sloat Fassett of New York, but the Harrison people very vigorously objected 1o the se- lection of Mr. Fassett. They stated that they thought some one should be chosen who ought not to be one of the leaders on either side of the presidential contest. The Blaine people maintained that Mr, Fassett would be emioently fair to all parties, but the Harri- son incmbers evidently did not desire that the selection of the New York eentleman should give tho appearance of & Blaine vic- tory in the choice of temporary chairman, Objected to Cullo ‘The president’s friends suggested Senator Cullom of Illinois, but the Blaine men promptly objected, They contended that every objection which could be urged against Mr. Fassott was equally strong against Sen- ator Cullom. Besides, they said Senator Cullom had taken particular pains since his arrival in this city to identify himself with the Harrison movement, and they could not se6 how be vould bo considered in any way o compromise candidate. Ail efforts to arrive aLan anicable agreement seemed impossible, sud after a lengthy discussion the commitiee adiourned until evening. When the committeo reassembled at 9 p. m. this evening the Harrison men made théir flght on Fassevvand the rasult was 20 votes for Fassewt and 20 for Cullom—and Mr. Iassett will be temporary chairman of the national convention. This was a test vote and shows that Blaine men arain control of the committee. The vote was accepted and the nowination wade unanimous.

MiNyEAPOLIS, Minn,, June 6.—The meating which was started at Chicago, having for iis object, the protection of negroes in the south from violence and lawlessness and fn their right to vote, has come in Minneapolis to a point whero it seoms to figure in the political fight over the nomination for president. The movemont now has the support of J. M. Langston of Virginia, whils ex-Senators Bruce and Lynch, who vepresent the other wing of the newro clemeat, are opposed to the sokemo. Langston, in an in- terview on the subject today, suid that the negroes proposed to push tho matter. He said: “Laws caloulated to enforce the doc- trine and princiles of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments havo been entirely ig- nored and left noglected by the present ad- ministration, It is generally felt by the colored people that Attorney General Miller is a man far-wanting 1o legal knowledge and disposition to enforco the laws upon the basis of reconstruction in the south, that he will in fact do nothing tending to this end. Tho ocolored mon foel that if Attorney Genoral Miller is again in the cabiuet of the president, no change could be expected in tho administration of the Depa-tment of Justice, and we would be left in the same condition - that we are today with murder, lynching and other deeds going uapunished.

MixNEAPOLIS, Minn., Juno 6.—Wilder, or more picturesque ante-convention scenes wore probably never befors wit- nessod than today and tonight around tho headquarters of the republican national committeo. A torribio jam of peo- plo continuously thronged every inch of swanding room on the floor of the rotunds, the entrances, stairways, sidowalks and every adjoining street, watching the newly arnving clubs and delegates.

[Copyrighted 1992 by Jamss Gortan Bennstt.| Naxcy, June 6.—[New York Heorald Cable —Speclal toyTur Bee.]— No stirring episode marked the Nancy fotes until today, but this morning we had a voritable coup de theator. As President Carnot was receiving the officers of the garrison at the prefecture, & telegram was brought in and handed to Gen- eral Brugers, Tho gallant general opened it carclessly, but on glancing at the con- tents he gave a start, and bvassed it on to Minister Bourgeois, who turned pale and transferred the mysterious document to Minister Loudet, who in turn egave it to President Carnot. The vresident is not emotional. If be was em- barrassed by the telegram he concealed his feclings. The message brought the unex- pocted nows that Grand Duke Constantine of Russia would pass through Nancy this after- noon and stop over to pay his respects to President Carnot. The secret was well kept. for a time, but it eventually leaked out. Welcomed by the Students. When the train from Contrexeville was sighted at3:30 p. m., a crowd of oxcited students throngea the station shouting, “Vive la Russie.” In a twinkling a demon- stration was arrunged. Some students raised a Russian flag, someone elso produced the tricolor, a third enthusiast unfurled the tricolor inscribeda ‘“‘Alsace-Lorrawe,” while 8 fourth displayed a banner with “‘Armee do Metz, 1870 onit, Preceeded by these flags aud several hundred students, and the memvors of the press, the grand duke - stepped into a car- riage with Colonel Chamoin, who had been deputed by the prosident to roceive him, and drove through the town to the pre- feoture, amid a continuous roar of ‘‘Vivela Russie,” *‘vive Alsace-Lorraine,” “Vive la France,” and the scene as the improvised procession 'passed beneath the huge triumphal arcn in the Rue St. Dezier was most striking. The students seemed beside themselves with joy at tha sight of the black and yellow banner at the head of the cortege. 1t had an electric effect upon the natives who thronged the pavements. This was the more remarkable in view of the fact that the whole affair was entirely unforseen and spontaneous. Reaching the cathedral, the studonts intoned the Kussian anthem, the people caught up the air, and when the grand duke entered the Place do Stanislaus, where a detachment of infantry had been burriedly amassed in his honor, the enthu- siasm swelled to the fever point. Probably Premeditated. After an interview with President Carnot, which lasted nearly three-quarters of an hour, the grand duke left at 5:20 p. m. for Contrexreville, via Domromy. Ho was es- corted to the railway station by an immense and noisily enthusiastic crowd. The importance of this incident is unmis- takable. It cannot be supposed that a member of the imperial family of Russia would have sprung such a visit on ’resident Carnot at such a tims without the knowl- edge or consent of the czar. The episode is probably placed as an offset to the czar's ex- pected meeting with the German emperor, More Moaning to the Visit Than Shows on the Surface. [Copyrighted 1692 by Jamss Gordon Bsnnett.] Paris, June 6.—|New York Herald Cable— Special to Tur Bee|—The czar and Emperor William met today at Kiel. I have already informed the readers of the Herald that the meeting might last for some hours, but would not be of any political importance. The Rus- sian government, however, is anxious at all hazards to avoid giving offense to France and has taken steps to show that 1s rela- tions toward that country are unchanged. Grand Duke Constantine, who has been stay- inz at Contrexeville for his healtn, started this morning for the purpose of paying his respects to President Carnot at Nanc; There can be no doubt as to the object of his journey. When a scion of theimperial family of Russia goes out of his way in order to meet a presideat of a reputlic, no one can maintain that heis simply paying him a polite visit. On the contrary, it is abundantly evident that the grana duke's visit hasa political significance. It is impossible to say the same of the meeting at Kiel, The equality that exists in the monarchial hierarchy renders it impos ble for any political significance to bo attacl ed to this interview. The two emperors are equal, and when they visit each otber they meet on an equal footing. President Carnot on the other hand, though in one senso 1n- terior to the grand duke, is the head of a great people, it matters not whethor by birth or by election, and therefore he is in a posi- tion to waat any sovereign on equal torms, What Does it Sigulfy? From u political standpoint there is cer- tainly & striking difference between the meeting avKiel and the grand duke's visit to Nancy. Russiais scting quite properly in paying this token of respect 1o the French people. The fact is the French people are Pogiuming o discover that Russia bas not done as much &s was expected of her. We are 50 accustomed to public and prompt diplomatic action tuat we tind it hard to ac- custom ourselves to iussia’s slow diplomatic methods. “htill only blindness could prevent us from nmini)lholmponnncn of the visit which Grand Duke Constantine is paying to President Carnot at Nancy on the very day Il.?xnll. the czar and Emperor Willam met at ol. Another significant fact, in view of the comments of the (German press, is that the mecting of the president and the grand auke takes place so closo to the German frontier, J. F'rancals Anatole la Gorge, & veteran of the ropublican party in France, is dead. Ho was well known on” sccount of his brilliant military services, While defending St, Quentin, of which city ne was profect, he was seriously wounded.
