THE ONE MAN ETVINCIBLE In the Opinion of Most of the Anti Administration Leaders. OXE COURSE OPEN FOR YICTORT. The Convention Might Kama the Secretary and at Once Adjourn. AS ECHO OF THE KEISTOXE GATHERING SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC LETTER. Bureau or The Dispatch, 3, VAsnraGT6s. D. (X. April ft. A Senator of the United States, who probably knows more of the inside of the anti-Harrison feeling and inspiration than any other man in the country, talked to me with great frankness to-day on this subject. "No matter what,has been or may be re ported," said he, "there is no understand ing between the Republican leaders who are opposed to President Harrison's renomina tion. There is no organization of the op posing forces, and I do not think there will be any. Much depends upon the action of the conventions in New York and in Ohio. If these conventions indorse the Presi dent and instruct their delegations for him, that will end any movement against his renomiuation. If they follow in the wake of the Pennsylvania convention, and compliment the President but permit the delegations to go unrnstructed, it is pos sible that an attempt may be made to nomi nate another than Harrison. Whom to concentrate upon is the difficult question to solve. I believe that Blaine is the only Republican who could be elected. Blaine is perfectly honest in his declination, but suppose the convention nominates him and then immediatelv adjourns. What else could Blaine do than accept? He could not ask the convention to reassemble and choose a new man. He would be forced to accept, even against his own wilL The Chances In Favor of Defeat. "Now, here let me inject," continued the Senator, "a n expression of opinion that may not be palatable to our own partv, bnt which may as well be looked in the face. The chances are largely in favor of defeat of the national candidates of the Reoublican party next fall. For my own part I do not believe that anr man excepting Blaine can be elected. Indiana is gone beyondsalva tion this year, but Blaine can carry New iork. Four years ago he could not have carried that State. Ho othef candidate can carry either Indiana or 'New York, and without those States we must gain victories in West Virginia and Connecticut to win. But in West Virginia the Democrats have the election officers, and they would count out any Republican majority there opuld be gained there. "In plain words, therefore, no mm ex cepting Blaine can win, in my oninion, and Blaine will not have it unless lie is forced into it. But suppose the convention should nominate Blaine in spite of his sincere re fusal to permit the use of his name, and that he should then be defeated, the party would be responsible ior administering a cruel blow to the great leader from which he never would recover. The convention hasno right to place Blaine in nomination against his will, when the possibilities of defeat are so great If then, we mnst not nominate Blaine, and it no other than Blaine can win, what is the use of nominat ing a new man? So far as I am concerned, I preler, as one who does not like Harrison even a little bit, to give the nomination to the President without a struggle, and let him be the most conspicuous sufferer from defeat" Feellnt; of the Anti-Harrison leaders. I am well assured that the remarks of this Senator, thus briefly quoted, reflect the feeling among nearly all of the anti-Harrison leaders. While preparing for a val iant fight, they have little or no hope of success, and they would rather see Har rison defeated than anyone else. I have been assured, within a few days, on the authority of one of Blaine's warm est admirers and closest friends, that the great Secretary declined to be a candidate not so much on account of a fear for his health, as because he looked upon the Ke publican cause as almost hopeless this year on account of the conditions in doubtful States, and did not desire to sutler defeat a second time. According to these anti-administration men, the refusal of conventions to instruct is not for the purpose of effecting a combina tion against Harrison, but merely that the delegations may go the convention un pledged and have the opportunity to act in the light of that time. Great changes might occur hetween the dates of the State Con ventions and that of the National Conven tion, and in view of the doubtful outlook of the party, as well as the unpopularity of President Harrison with the leaders, it is thought to be wise to prevent as iar as pos sible the pledging of delegations. Enloe's Great Breach of Decorum. Of course, members of Congress are of like passions with other men, but it has been, rare indeed in the history of Congress that a Chairman of an investigating com mittee, bent upon exposing the weaknesses and misdeeds of another, has so far forgotten himself as Representative Enloe, of Tennes see, did to-day, in the Pension Bureau in vestigation. Enloe asserted that General Raum had made certain admissions to him in a prnate conversation. Baum denied this emphatically. "You are a liar," shouted Enloe, and "you, are a liar," came back from Raum. Enloe started toward Raum, to "do him up" in true Sullivan style, but was held by other committee members and by renorters. Baum remarked that while he feared no man he did not seek trouble, and picked up his hat and left the room. The report is out that Baum ran from the room, but this is not true. He walked very rapidly. Enloe's conduct was truly disgraceful. While Ranm has undoubtedly done many things be should not have done; while he lias been hurt and disgraced by a foolish and unscrupulousson whom he unwisely appointed to position in his own bureau; while the great Pension Bureau is shown to be operating under a woful lack of dis cipline, with censurable conduct rightly chargeable against many of the clerks and officials, Enloe has pursued his work not as an investigator, but as a prosecutor, deter mined to convict regardless of the evidence. The disgraceful performance of to-day is really no worse than his conduct all through the investigation, though it was more fla grantly unparliamentary. Tunny Morles of the Convention. Funny stories are told of the Harrisburg Convention, touching the absence of all un derstanding in regard to a "slate" on the Judgeship. One delegate from Lancaster rushed about when the voting on the judge ship began, wanting to know how to vote. He was all at sea in regard to the candi dates. He had often been a delegate, and had always seen a slated ticket written out, from top "to bottom. The last heard of him he was still seeking instructions, swearing that it was "the st convention I ever saw, where there is nobody who can tell me how to vote." A Pennsylvanian who attended the con vention gives me what he vows is the true version of the rise and fall of the Phillips resolution in regard to Senator Quay. The Senator was in the room where the Com mittee on Resolutions met, and was asked what his wishes were as o an indorsement of him, or some complimentary allusion to hirn in the platform. Senator, Quay said with emphasis to C. L. Magee and others around him that he did not desire any mention of his name at all. Phillips' Little Bombshell Formed. When it became known that nothing had been said of Mr. Quay, Phillips, of Schuyl kill, swore that in a convention, where nine of every ten delegates were friends of the Senator, it was a shame that his name should not be mentioned. He was informed of the Senator's expressed wish, but an swered that he did not care a continental what Quay said, he would see that a Quay resolution was introduced. When Quay s friends saw it was impossible to prevent something of the kind from being done, they suggested that, to avoid friction, the resolution be written by a close friend of Mr. Magee, but the impulsive Phillips had escaped, and, of his own will, brought Into the convention the resolution that raised the one row of the session. The Pennsyl vanian who tells me this asserts also that the negative outcry was confined to 12 or 15 delegates. Quay Too 111 to Come to Pittsburg. Senator Quay returned to the capital yesterday, after a visit, since the State.Con vention," with Senator Cameron, at Done gal. He was in his seat at the Senate to day, but feeling quite ill, and this evening found that it would be unwise for him to at tempt to go to the Americus Club banquet, as he had intended, ne tnereiore tele graphed the President of the olub infor mation of his inability to be present. Major S. V. Holliday, Commissioner of Customs, who had also intended to be at the' banquet, is prevented by illness. Representatives Dalzell and Stone left this evening for Pitts burg. LlGHTNER. TWO PEYIHG CHTJBCH MEMBERS Accnso Their Pastor of Using the House of God for Immoral Purposes. Millyille, N. J., April 26. One of the most sensational church trials in the history of the New Jersey Methodist Epis copal Conference is in progress in this city to-day. A committee is in session investi gating charges preferred against Rev. J. M. Steward, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Port Norris. One evening a few weeks ago, Mrs. William Pease, who lives next door to the church at Port Norris, was sitting at the window a saw, as she thought. Pastor Steward and Miss Eva Owen, a mem ber of his congregation, enter the church by a side door. She called her husband's at tention to the fact, and he, also, went to the window and saw the pastor and Miss Owen enter the church. The Peases charge that the couple re mained in the church for upward of an :jur, and when they came out Mr. Pease rushed out of his house and upbraided the pastor in strong language for using the church of God for such a purpose. The clergyman vehemently denied the charge and left Mr. Pease standing in the street Mr. Pease and his wife told their story to the officials of the church, who in turn notified Presiding Elder Wight, and he, after investigating the matter, demanded that Mr.Pease make formal charges. This Mr. Pease did, and the Presiding Elder ap pointed the committee and instructed them to meet in this city to-day to try the accused pastor. MEXICO'S MINING LAW. Properties Reduced to Almost the Level of Ordinary Ileal Estate. Cittof Mexico, April 26. The new mining law promised in the Presidental message, is finished by the department and will be presented to the chamber at once. The law is very important. It enables the consolidation of mining property and leveling it to the position of ordinary real estate, the only restriction being the oayment of an annual tax or dues. The denouncement mine system, now used to obtain for mines the right of encroach ment which, according to the old Spanish law, allowed mine owners when following a working vein to cross or even work strange property, is abolished. The law, also, in place of restricting the formation of mining companies, provides for the free working of the mines, the mortgaging of them, if need be; in fact, all that tends to facilitate the investing of capital, and the granting of all kinds of security, and the simplifying of formalities necessary to secure pos session and work mines. Track-laying on the Southern railway is proceeding rap idly. Rails for .the Inter-Oceanic railway have arrived, and the track-laying on the extension from Matamoras toward the Paci fic has commenced. A mining exchange is to be established here. A MURDERER QUICKLY LYNCHED. Whites and Blacks Overpower a Tramp and Soon String Him Cp. VlCKSBURG, MISS., April 26. Special A murder and lynching recently occurred in Point Coupe parish, La. A wealthy planter named Cotton was alone in his store when a tramp entered and asked for a pistol and cartridges. Being told there was none in stock, he proposed to borrow Mr. Cot ton's pistol, to which the planter replied that he never carried one. When he had ascertained this fact the tramp drew ont a revolver and ordered Cotton to give him $100. Several negroes came into the store at this juncture, but as none of them had a weapon they were intimidated, by the tramp and fled. Mr. Cotton turned to flee, when the tramp fired at him, inflicting a mortal wound. The tramp then robbed the store cash box of $200, and was about to depart when a party of whites and blacks came on the scene and overpowered the murderer after a short struggle. Swift vengeance was meted out to the murderer. The infuriated crowd dragged him to a tree and strung him up. He died with curses on his lips,, declaring that his brother, living in Franklin Mills, would avenge his death. n AVE you noticed the To Let Rooms cent a word advertising columns of the Daily and holiday Dispatch? HUNGARIAN NATIONAL FEELING Crops Ont In- Revolution in the Elet Con cerning Policemen's 'Coat-of-Arms. Buda PeStii, April 26. A great tumult was caused in the Lower House ot the Hun garian Diet to-day by the introduction ot a resolution, moved by the opposition, calling upon the Government to substitute the Hungarian coat-of-arms for the joint em blems of Austria-Hungary now worn by the gendarmes. President Szapary, of the Hungarian Ministry, explained the reason why the joint emblems were worn, but he failed to appease the opposition. The uproar in creased, and finally the proceedings be came so disorderly that it was necessary to suspend the sitting. Upon' the resumption of the sitting the resolutions were put to a vote and deieated. Rifle ITactlce for the Guard. HARMSBURG, April 26. Special Adjutant General Greenland issued an order last evening fixing May 1 for the opening, and October 31 for the closing of the season for rifle practice. Every com pany will be required to qualify 35 men. A failure to do this will be considered a lack of discipline, and warrant disband ment The order embraces instructions for rifle practice, qualifications and other par ticulars. Anstria Accused of Excessive Thrift. Bekus, April 26. An article which ap peared in the Horth German Gazette to-day has caused a decided sensation. It has reference to the proposed regulations in the Austro-Hungarlan currency system. The paper claims that Austria is attempting to make profit ont of the conversion at the ex pense of her creditor!. 1HE GRANT MONUMENT CORNER STONE.

Since the body of General Grant was laid in its tomb with all military and civic honors, there has been no display at Riverside Park to compare with the demonstration to-morrow, when thousands of spectators will witness the ceremony of laying1 the corner stone of the monument which is to mark the final resting place of the dead soldier. The platforms and chairs which are to accommodate the great crowd expected were all in place to-day, and the wooden structures were hidden from view by the graceful folds of the Stars and Stripes hung about them. The building fund has not been drawn upon for the expenses of the dedication, and nearly ail the expenditures have been provided lor by outside contrib utors. Rev. Dr. John Hall, of the Eilth Avenue Presbyterian Church, was finally selected to deliver the prayer and benediction, al though it had been the intention to have Bishop Andrews, of the Methodist Church, to which General Grant belonged.

The Comedian Comes to Terms With Bis Wife The Salt to Be on the Ground of Abandonment, Only Some Particular of. the Agreement. New York, April 26. Special. It has been agreed that the counter charges of cruelty made in the suit of Nella R. Good win for a separation from Nat Goodwin, the actor, shall be withdrawn, and that the case shall be tried on the charge of abandon ment only. The suit will come up before Justice Truax, of the Supreme Court, Thurs day and will not be defended. The house the Goodwins lived in at 226 West End avenue and its furniture will, it is said, be sold and the proceeds will be di vided between them in proportions which are not made public. The house is in Goodwin's name, but Mrs. Goodwin has held the fort in spite of many efforts of Mr. Goodwin to get possession. She says he gave it to her as a Christmas gift. The amount of alimony to be paid to her by Mr. Goodwin has been agreed upon. Goodwin has been paying 575 a week under an order of the court, but had a motion pending for a reduction of this amount. It was after about five hours' parleying that this arrangement was made to-day. The case was on the calendar before Justice Truax, for trial, this morning, but was adjourned to the afternoon, and then until Thursday, because of the .negotia tions. Mrs. Goodwin, who has not recov ered from a carriaee accident of two years ago, came into court on crutches, assisted by her brother, Charles Baker, and her sis ter, uame uaser, wno live wiiu uer. Mr. Goodwin, who had come on from Philadelphia to attend the trial, did not look at his wife or the Bakers, although sitting near them. While the investiga tions were in progress in the courtroom he went into the court of Oyer and Terminer, where Daniel Kennedy was being tried for murder, and he finally departed tor Phila delphia, leaving his case to his counsel, George H. Hart. WON'T FOLLOW AMERICA'S EXAMPLE. The British Commons Vote Down a Propo sition for E tsler Divorce. London, April 26. In the House of Commons this evening, Mr. Hunter moved the second reading of the bill providing that desertion or immorality on the part of either party to a marriage contract shall be ground for a divorce. Attorney General Webster opposed the bill, saying that there were many practical reasons against extend ing the facilities lor obtaining a divorce. Mr. Kelly opposed the bill. He said that in some parts of the United States a divorce could be obtuned for a few dollars, but the practice is viewed with horror by the better section of the American people, who feel that the law of divorce in the united States is a scandal. Mr. Kelly said he hoped Great Britain would not follow America, but would uphold the sanctity of marriage. Mr. Hunter s motion was rejected by a vote of71to40. THAT TUEB3SH-BULGAEIAN PLOT. Fifteen Bombiters Who Aimed to Destroy Constantinople Caught In Kustchuk. Constantinople, April 26. The dis covery of the plot at Rustchuk to assassinate the Sultan, Prince Ferdinand" of Bulgaria and the Bulgarian Ministers, was due to in formation received by the Porte that certain Armenian Communists were arranging for the manufacture of bombs to be used in blowing up the principal buildings in Con stantinople and in terrorizing the inhabit ants. The information indicated that the town of Rustchuk-' was the center ot the plot. The Porte secretly informed the Bulgarian Government of the existence of the plot. The Bulgarian authorities acted with the greatest promptitude ana arrested 10 or the ringleaders. Ther also seized a auantitv of I explosives. The Porte is highly gratified at I the action of the Bulgarian Government. I 'ttfih GRANT MONUMENT. A novel feature of the programme will be the part taken by the schoolboys. An army of 1,500 will march past the tomb of General Grant and scatter flowers upon the casket. The half holiday provided by the Legisla ture will be generally observed. In accord ance with orders received from Washington to-day the Custom House will close at noon and the Sub-Treasury at 1 o'clock. The banks will generally close at noon and Wall street will take a half holiday. As this is the seventieth anniversary of Gen eral Grant's birth there will be several din ners and meetings to-morrow evening to commemorate the event The most im portant will he the banquet at Delmonico's of the Grant Dinner Association. Mrs. Grant will be a spectator, and among the speakers will be Secretary Foster, Secretary Elkins, General Schofield, Rear Admiral Gherardi, Congressman Breckinridge, of Kentucky, and General Horace Porter. The Presidental party arrived at Jersey City at 9 P. M. Thev were met at the Penn svlvania Railroad depot at Jersey City by Generals Porter and Dodge. In carriages provided by the Union League Club the party was "driven to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Secretary Elkins to-night dined with Mrs. General Grant at her residence. The memorial to General Grant will be of light granite, about 100 feet square and 150 feet high. It will be on high ground, the base being about 150 feet above the level of the sea, which will put the pinnacle of the monument 300 feet higher than the Hudson. It will be high enough and large enough to be seen from the Palisades, the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge, all high grounds within ten miles of the park and every ves sel that sails up and down the river. Three millions of dollars have been spent by the city in its work of decorating this pleasure ground. The foundations for the monu ment are now finished, and the first course of granite, ten feet in height, has been put under construction. The movement to transfer the remains of General Grant from New York to the Na tional Cemetery at Arlington has come to an end. Mrs. Grant feels that she is under great obligation to the people of New York lor many favors and kindnesses while her husband was living there and Bince his death, and that it would seem like an affront to the peole of ?he city to favor the removal of the remains. t IT WAS A BOOMERANG. . t Parson Downs "Buns' Against a Snag The Woman in His Celebrated Case Tnrns the Tables and Causes a Decided Sensa tion. Boston, April 2a Special To-dav's ' evidence in the Downs conspiracy case was in the nature of a boomerang for the merry parson. In the first place Judge Sherman ordered the jury to acquit Deacon Story, Wilber, Dr. Stackpole and Mr. Taber on the ground that there was no evidence in support of the charge that they had conspired against Parson Downs good name. The case against Dr. Moyes, Miss Nepton and Mrs. Campbell continued, and before the dav's hearing closed Alice Nep ton had openly in court charged Mr. Downs with being the father of her child. She as serted that she had signed the alleged con fession accusing Mr. Taber, acting under orders from Mr. Downs, without knowing what it contained. The effect of this bit of evidence was electrical. It created a sensation, which was increased when she calmly related the de tails of a trip through Nova Scotia, lasting two months, during which time she testified Mr. Downs was her companion. This was not exactly what the doucrhtv narsnn was looking for. and his Uwn .did all in their power to break down her testimony, xney leit relieved when they forced Miss Nepton to admit that she had at another trial made a false statement under oath. They ;will utilize that ac knowledgment to offset the effect of her charges against Parson Downs' morality. A SCHEMER AT HIS OLD TEICKS. From His Cell In a Jersey City Jail He" Works a Confidence Game. New York, April 26. Special & Wil son Stoddard, who is now in the Hudson county jail in Jersey City, is at his old tricks. During the past month between 15 and 20 women of this city have received piteous appeals for" financial aid from, Stod dard. News of this reached the Charitv Organization Society, and Secretary Charles D. Kellogg has sent out warnings against the man to the members. In November last Stoddard sent similar letters to United States Senator Gordon, of Georgia, and Dr. William Morrow, of Nashville. To these he attached the name of Miss Winnie Davis, the daughter of the ex-President of the Confederacy. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison. He is now in the county jail on a stay pending an ap peal. The letters run in part: "Will you have compassion on one who pleads for mercy in Christ's sweet name, who asks not for justice? I am a stranger in this part of the country, and would spare mv aged mother grief and humiliation." Several of the women who received letters sent checks, some for 50. A PABEHTJBST OEQIE ECHO. One of the Places He Visited Gets Its Owner Into Trouble. New York, April 26. Special Will iam N. Griswold, a Wall street broker, was arrested to-day on an indictment charging bim witli keenin? a diRnrnWlv hnusA nt. 31 J West Fourth street. This is one of the houses which Rev. Dr. Parkhurst visited at night. The March grand jury, in its presentment arraigning tne ponce department lor not suppressing such places, recommended that the owners of the honses be prosecuted as well as the occupants. The district attornev instituted an investigation as to the ownership of this house, and found it was owned by Mitchell O. Levy. The District Attorney sent for Mr. Levy, who said that he was the owner ot the house, that it was leased to Griswold, and that he had notified Griswold of the character of the tenants. Griswold was almost overcome by his arrest. He said he had just returned from a business trip to Arizona, and knew noth- ing about the charge against him. iiall was fixed at $1,000. I BRICE GIVEN A BOOM. The Buckeye State Central Committee Favors the Chairman as ONE WAT TO SECURE HARMONY. Jast Four Big State Conventions on the Card for To-Day. SOME CONGRESSMEN RENOMINATED ! SPECIAL SXLEQBAIt TO THE DISPATCH. Columbus O., April 26. The Demo cratic State Central Committee, in its pro ceedings to-day, set an example for its political opponents in the way of harmony whieh would be well for the Republicans to follow next year. By a unanimous vote the committee agreed on a time for holding their convention, and without a negative vote Columbus was chosen as the place. In one accord Hon. James E. Neal was chosen for Temporary Chairman, and with the same unanimity was Louis G. Bernard made Secretary of the convention. Neal is a Cleveland-Campbell man and Bernard a Hill-anti-Campbell follower. The Bourbon factions got together and agreed upon the preliminaries of the great'eampaign in the State with a spirit which indicates a bar gain and understanding providing for a solid front. There was a remarkably large attendance of members, only four proxies beintr presented. Chairman Norton, in calling the meeting to order, sounded the call for a Western man for President After explaining the object of the meeting of the committee, and referring to the importance ot the coming campaign, he paid Cleveland and Hill each a compliment, but aroused the committee to a degree of enthusiasm by declaring it was not essential to the success of the party that either of these gentlemen be the standard bearer. Plenty of Western Timber. There was as great timber in the West, said the speaker, and it was now time for the East to recognize that. The certain opportunity of success undoubtedly lies in a western candidate's nomination, bnt, no matter who it is, he pledged the loyalty of the Ohio Democracy. He gave the Repub lican Legislature several rubs, and intima ted that the biggest part of the coming cam paign would be taken up by the Republi can party in defending the action of this body. He congratulated the party" on the lack of harmony which pervaded in the Republican party. The dates June 14 and 15 were selected as the time for the holding of the convention. A lengthy debate followed the offering of a resolution, which was to authorize the Cen tral Committeeman from the Twentieth district to call a Congressional Convention for that district. The recent gerrymander has practically abolished all the Congressional District Committees, and nobody has author ity to call the. district conventions. The resolution was finally amended, and then adopted so as to provide that the county members of Congressional District Commit tees are authorized to act as members of the new committees for the district in which the county is located until new committees are selected at conventions to be called by the present committees. Two Wings Flapping; Well Together. An adjournment soon followed, which was closely connected with a conference taking place in the Neil House. The re markable harmony covering the two fac tions of the committee and the session and Chairman Norton's keynote for a Western candidate furnished the outline of the under standing which has been reached by the Democracy of Ohio, with the express purr pose of benefiting both factions in the com ing national campaign. The date ot the convention was put off to a surprisingly late day, ten days after the Repub lican National Convention, and but a few days before the Democratic National convention. The Ohio Democratic conven tion will be the last State convention held to select delegates at large. This is another feature of the harmonious understanding of the Ohio Bourbons, and Is the point of the programme which means to send the Ohio delegation to the National convention as a unit, with the purpose ot nominating a can didate or dictating such nomination. The idea is to improve the doubtful expediency of nominating Cleveland by going to the convention prepared to stand up for Senator Brice or ex-Governor Campbell. The Big Four for Ohio. A member of the committee and a close friend ot John R. McLean said in explain ing the sudden getting together of the two factions: "We must admit that Hill is clear out of it, and the Cleveland boom is on the wane. There is a chance for Senator Brice or ex-Governor Campbell, and why not go there with the understanding that the one commanding the strongest sun- port be put forward? Yes. I know Gover nor Campbell is for Cleveland, but if Grover is out of the race, he will certainly be friendly to his own interests, if not to Senator Brice's. The convention will be harmonious, and it will send Senator Brice, ex-Governor Campbell, Judge Virgil P. Kline and Hon. A. W. Thurman to Chicago as delegates at large. John R. McLean could go if he wanted to. He does not. He will be the next chairman of the Na tional Committee. Ohio's delegation to that convention will be in position to come mighty near naming the Presidental can didate." HARBISON TO BE INDORSED At the Republican State Convention in Little Jersey To-Day. Trenton, N. J., April 26. The Repub lican State convention to elect delegates to the national convention will be held in Taylor Opera House to-morrow, beginning at noon. Contrary to previous expectation, considerable interest is being awakened at the eleventh hour, and to-night a large pro portion of the delegates have arrived, giv ing an air of life and bustle to the hotel surroundings. The venerable John I. Blair, who has attended all the Republican na tional conventions, will be elected as a delegate at large. The other delegates at large, if to-night's slate holds good, are General William J. Sewell, George A. Hal sey and Garrett A. Hobart Ahearty indorsement of Harrison's ad ministration and an arraignment of Demo cratic government in New Jersey will be among the planks ot the platform. Harrison Only Partially Indorsed. Denver, Col., April 26. The Repub licans of the First Congressional district held their convention here to-day and nom inated Jake Saunders, of Leadville, and Frank Downer, of Boulder, delegates to the Minneapolis convention. They are un instructed, except that they shall vote for any candidate favorable to the free and un limited coinage of silver. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the official acts of Sena tors Teller and Wolcott and Secretary Blaine, and the administration of President Harrison, except his policy on silver coin ase. Lively Convention at Tonngstown. Youngstown, O., April 2G. Special. The Republican County Convention to-day was largely attended. The contest over the election of Sheriff was decidedly warm, seven ballots being required before a nomi nation was reached. A strong ticket was nominated. Resolutions were passed in dorsing Harrison and McKinley, and the delegates to the State Convention instructed to vote for Samuel H. Taylor for Secretary of State. IMcKInley Men Placed qn Gnard.

PALMES Will BE IHDOESED At the Illinois Democratic State Conven tion, to Be Held To-Day. Springfield, Iixs., April 26. The in dications point to the nomination of John P. Altgild, of Chicago, for Governor, by the Democratic State Convention, which meets here to-morrow. The preliminary work of the convention is progressing rap idly, the platform being already practically agreed on. Palmer will be warmly in dorsed for the Presidency, although the delegates to the National Convention may not be positively instructed for him. Congressmen "Forman and Fithian-and other Southern Illinois' politicians are op posed to any expression on the Presidental question except an unqualified indorsement of Grover Cleveland. They are in the minority, however, but will doubtless make a stubborn fight. At midnight a proposition of compromise on the Presidental question was being dis cussed. It provides for the indorsement of Palmer, but instructs the Illinois dele gation to vote as a unit for Grover Cleve land should his name at any time be pre sented by the State of New York. This proposition was received with general favor, and will undoubtedly be submitted to the Committee on Resolutions to-morrow. A DELEGATION SPLIT UP. Indiana Democrats Not Likely to Tote as a Unit at Chicago. Indianapolis, April 26. Special. Although a much-discussed compromise was supposed to have settled the differences be tween the friends of Cleveland and Grav in Indiana, there is every evidence that there will be a split in the delegation which goes to Chicago. The Cleveland delegates are enraged over the boast made by Senator Voorhees that Gray had about twe-thirds of the Indiana delegation, and over the spirit shown by the Senator to "rub it in." There has been some quiet hobnobbing on the part of the Cleveland members of the Indiana delegation, at which they figured out that of the 30 Indiana delegates to Chi cago, Cleveland will have 12, Gray 16, doubtful 2. The doubtful ones are Richard son, of Pike, who is a Gray man and was instructed for Cleveland, and Cass, ot Porter, who would prefer Palmer, of Illinois. ANTI-HABBISON IN ALABAMA.
