A. jllycr. him from'all sections of the country. One New York man, who says that his factory he is a cutler was preset-red by McKinley, means to vote for him on the first ballot When they proposed in Niw England delegations to take up Reed for the dark horse they found McKinley sup porters there. He is a man of pure char acter and equally pure appearance. At the lat convention, when he read the platform, which was adopted without a dissenting voice, most people were impressed with his nearly sacred appearance. Now and then he looks white, as if something lite predes tination had intentions upon him, yet he would avoid the appearance of assisting himself at the expense of Harrison, and his rectitude is genuine. Something; About Major McKinley. Xot a man of extensive scholarship or versatile parts, there is nothing restless about McKinley. His domestic life is happy, in spile of years of invalidism of his wife. He is a strict Conjjressraan, pay ing attention to all things, but particularly to tariff legislation, for his father before him was an ironmaker, some say only a foreman in a mill, who never had luck in the manufacture for himself. His stock, Scotch Irish, from among the charcoal furnaces of Pennsylvania, which were established in the first quarter of this century. In the course of time the family passed up the Mahoning Valley into Ohio, and McKinley represented a part of the Garfield district There is a higher idealism, it is said, over in Ohio among; the iron men than among the substantial Pennsylvanians, and Ohio poli tics more frequently produces national leaders, as if the blending of the New England Puritans on the Reserve had tninned the corpuscle of the Kevstones. Allison, Rusk, McKinley and Garfield came out of Pennsylvania to Ohio, and Husk and Garfield drove the canal mules between New Castle and Cleveland. Education Acquired in Pennsylvania. McKinley studied at college in Pennsyl vania, and about finished up at the law when a company marched away from his litile town. He reflected perhaps he had better cone also, so he set out next day with a companion, who is now Police Commis sioner in Boston, and walked to a camp and enlisted as a private soldier. He is the fol lower of the rank. The death of Garfield uncovered him as a rising Republican. Passim; the McKinley bill was in reality his entrance in politics. As the executive of Ohio he added the captivating role of Governor of his State to his youthful fame. One learns of McKinley, after knowing him for some time, that mightiness is his representative quality. He is mild and active and in good health. His face, which has undoubtedly the Napoleonic look in it, has nothing swarthy, like the Corsicans. His hair is dark, and his skin gives the ap pearance of abstemiousness and office habits. He is a little disposed to be corpulent, vet may be regarded as one of the handsomest men and sons. McKinley "ot a Bit Handicapped. McKinley has a little start in his favor, for in spite of all movements of population westward, Ohio continues to be the reserv ing station between the East and the West From it depart to the farther west the well mingled emigrants which have come from the East A son of iron mills, with a legal educa tion and military experience in the war, and a thorough reasoning in politics and Congress make him what might be called the American Cobden, in spite of the diverg ing views the two names represent, Cobden, a spinner, went into politics to get legisla tion favorable to his trade. So has McKin ley been devoted to the iron which, from Pittsburg districts, sends out a mountain development South and a lake development North. Iron and coal formed their advance camps at the head of Lake Superior. The author of the McKinley bill owes to his personality, rather than to his legis lation, the strong secondary support which liascome to him here. In the midst of it he is possessed and solid in countenance, like one growing older under a strain. He is a magnificent youth, has not the years of Blaine or Harrison, and his influence has, exceided the popular understanding. In 188 he produced the platform of the con lention, probably his own composition. He followed up with extreme legislation in the same direction. Made a Governor by Democrats. The Democrats were kind enough to make his district tne scene of a national contest, where manifestly the cards had been stacked against him, and he was tnus side tracked into the Governorship. Now, at the head of the national convention, he will be closely watched, but the average man inhales from McKinley, coming near to him, more of the priestly and supernatural ether. "Both sides are afraid of him," said newspaper talk this morning; "they have Cut him in the place he might be dangerous, ut they probably have put him in a place where he will be guarded from committals and become the portrait of Providence in the eyes of the convention." It seems to be the fate of John Sherman for Ohio always to have some younger man man xie! 10 retract uis innuence at tnese j te lllll conventions. Blaine was half Ohlan, Haves came next in the way, then Garfield, and" there is McKinley. Though he has drclared for Harrison, his situation as Chairman will protect McKinley from any further expressions of opinion. If he could be a Presidental candidate, the Senate is open to Governor Foraker, his young rival. ' For years McKinley was a pupil and admirer of Blaine. In the course of lime Mr. Blaine has had the whole nation for his constituency. Solidity of Ills Constituency. While McKinley has remainedfast in the Ohio iron region, New England has dropped out from among the iron leaders, and the Secretary of State has been compelled to look at" the world with reference to its broadening future and the exchanges which make a healthy circulation around the globe. Where McKinley lives the iron in terest is more solid than ever. The pig iron of Alabama comes to the furnaces of the Monongahela and Mahoning Valleys to be manufactured. Reciprocity, protection, free trade, Blaine, McKinley, Cleveland confront the day. The business interest, quickly ad hering itsel! to either policy, resists being detached. We await what we shall see; Mr. Cleveland aeain represents revolution. Mr. Blaine compromise or evolution; Mr. McKinlev the old Harrisonism of 1840 and ihe patriotism of Henrv Clay. The South makes all the contention here, and prob ably always wilL The safety of these con ventions lies in the quarrels of the South ern white politicians. You see Kellogg and Warmouth con fronting each other as of yore. Warmouth got the collectorship and Kellogg has ever since been unhappy. The head of the custom house at New Orleans comes at the head of hi delegation, but when contestants appear from Alabama to unseat the Har rison men, that is thought to be tuurpticn itself Alabama Always a Bother. The colored man, if he has intelligence enoneh to hold office, cannot be blamed if he prefers to draw a salary of $1,200 a year tolying back as a barber or field hand at $10 a month, which he cannot collect In Virginia Mahone had the sense to go over to Langston, the negro, and save the ap pearance of a contest For some years Alabama has been the most exasperating State in Republican con ventions. Both Sherman and Alger worked it all over in the last convention, and Sher man has been mad at Alger since. The sequel: Alger is playing his hand here for the second place on the ticket, while Sher man, witn generally conced merits both as a statesman and a candidate, is very little spoken of. The convention threatens to be lengthened out by these contests, which each side is doing its best to take advantage of. The pot calling the kettle black is a very old sarcasm to the cut and thrust of these black delegations. General Sherman in the South, the administration at Washington is one party, and the other party consists of the disappointed. Fred Donclass Still on Deck. Old Fred Douglass is up here, the great est man the Eastern shore of Maryland has ever produced; the principal orator, author and biographer of that section in his earlier youth; a negro Patrick Henry, and the most hated object by the slave masters in the world, who has had for many years past a widow's crust of 'coon and possum's lat He has been in office almost ever since the Republican party, and a negro Bishop is well thought of. He has had the bigeest office in the District of Columbia, a foreign mission, and with these possessions he has become a conservative, and is always in favor of the man now in power, and against those who would tear down and break in. The old man, with his white side-whiskers, a fine combination of the African and Cau casian, is asking about the force bill of Grant's time, saying that Mr. Blaine is not the colored person's friend. Tne only humor in America is negro min strels, of which we had a melee on Tuesday night, when the Harrison managers shipped all their negroes to Lake Minnetonka, that their presence might be fewer with these pestiferous Blaine men. It had been whispered that colored delegates came into Harrison headquarters and innocently said that a man had just offered them $50 for their tickets to the convention, but they would not take it not they. The prepos terousness of a negro wanting $50 in hand rather than a salary for 12 months is ex pressed on all countenances. SUudlnc Oat for Their Price. Directlv a particular negro came baok with $100 and said he had just sold his tickets. Immediately all the other negroes were shipped to Lake Minnetonka and these tickets put in screw. There are contentions in families between Blaine and Harrison. Here is Mr. Richard Kerens, formerly Mr. Blaine's supporter, and now, as the "partner of Mr. Elkins, Is supporting Harrison. He belongs to an in structed delegation, of which an instructor was Mr. Kerens. He is unable to violate his own instructions to himself. But Mrs. Kerens, a fine-looking lady, and her bloom ing daughter, observed with rejoicing yes teiday that the Missouri delegation Is divided as fair as Lot and Abraham, one half going to Blaine, and said Mrs. Kerens: "After one vote cast for President Harrison everybody, I think, will have no instruc tion1!, and there need be no more delay about nominating Mr. Blaine." The look of mild determination which accompanied this expression boded an at tentive behavior on the part of Mr. Kerens to his family during the ensuing summer. The Blaine ladies here are numerous. They say that Mrs. Lowry stands at the head of Minneapolis society, and Mr. Lowry, avoiding the intrusion of his prefer ence as one of the hosts of 30, is all the more dangerous beneath the surface for his steady Blaine feeling. The Minnesota delegation had Harrison men it, ,bnt they are in the minority. Cuilom Knocked nt by Cannon. Said Samuel Raymond to me, last night: "Cuilom would have a big influence in this convention if he would exercise it, but he lets Joe Cannon pull his leg. Joe has no expectations. He lets Cuilom think that it is Cuilom who has the expectations. Cnl- lom claims that he discovered Blaine and made him the Speaker of Congress. Until within two or three months Cuilom has been growling at Harrison. They cannot keep half the delegation from Blaine." I need not send you probabilities, but It is significant that Mr. Seckendorff, the cor respondent of the New York Tribune, had ciphered out 410 votes for Harrison on Mon day night, and last night his information and intelligence compelled him to take about 80 votes off that figure. The Har rison men made some gains in New York, but their border delegations, like Delaware, Maryland, Tennessee and Missouri were badly shaken up. The departure of Mr. Blaine from Wash ington for Maine yesterday, and the con tinued presence of his son Emmons here in communication with Mrs. Blaine and others, gave assurance to all that Blaine was a combatant, and laving aside his official gown, had buckled the champion's belt around him and thrown to the windward his lurid eye. Blaine Sentiment at n Show. Tuesday night I went in the midst of a great rainstorm to the principal variety theater here, and the improvisatore on the stage put out this feeler: "You may fight with might and main, but you can't beat Jim Blaine." Whereupon the amusement character of thebouse ceased, and everybody rose and roared their cheers. Blaine is strong with the laboring middle class who look lor natural qualities in a man as they would in a horse or a dog; they like his vitality, his ever-recurring business, his smartness and his occasional combative nest On the other hand, the forces of con servatism, the man with a stock of goods on the shelves, and the head of the corporation with stock and bonds out and dividends may count on loans on the Presidental breast George Alfeed Towksend.

Conservative men on the outside thins: that both sides are badly scared. This ii the only way they can account lor the numerous delays. All kinds of reasons are given for hold ing back the conven tion. There are signs of impatience on all sides. Visitors are becoming weary of Jfcrraktr. the long watis between acts, and they de mand something more entertaining for their, money. A little blood would make them smile, and a pitched battle on the floor, of the convention would put them into the seventh heaven of ecstatic bliss. The Harrison forces rail at the Blainiacs, as they call them, and are rampant for an early ballot At least, they make a show to this effect, but it is significant when men like Ingalls and Cuilom are anxious to stave ofl the crucial test as long as possible. The sanguine Blaine leaders compare the situation to a cat with a mouse. Tom knows he has a "cinch," but delights in worrying the lite of his victim before he eats him. Blaine is the cat, oi course. Conger Allows Harrison 428. Colonel Conger, who Is close to the throne, says Blaine has enough votes to elect him without the contested seats. He allows Harrison 428. "In Ohio," he continued, "nine out of every ten Republicans are for Blaine. Mo Kinley's stand by the administration is not with the sanction of the Buckeye voters. Through his personal influence he is holding some of the Ohio delegates in line for the President, but I want to say a word about the contested seats in Alabama. I sat in the committee and listened to the evidence. I never heard of such political rottenness as exists in that State. Think of a postmaster voting 28 proxies at a timet Carrying 28 men in his vest pocket! "What would your people in Pennsyl vania think of a route agent calling conven tions, making himself chairman, and then shutting out everybody who did not hold credentials signed by himself! Think of the district being reorganized In the interest of Harrison by Federal officeholders, all on the committees not favorable to his renom- ination being picked off. Prepared to Make It Hot. 'The President's backer has been making threats all the week that the committee was packed against them and they would not get fair treatment, but they were prepared to make it hot for us in the convention. Well, I hope they will stir up the political pot in Alabama. If they don't strike a lively hornets' nest I am very much mis taken. Again, I repeat that Blaine will have more votes in Ohip than the Harrison people believe." There is considerable bad feeling in the Ohio delegation. Foraker is in an ugly humor and he docs not try to conceal It The ex-Governor likes nothing better than a lively scrap, and McKinley would rather eat his hat than fight The delegation held a caucus on the floor of the convention this morning over the vice chairmanship. Ex Attorney General Nash and Foraker are candidates for the place. It's pretty cer tain that Hash has the votes, though he may give way to the fire eater in the inter est of harmony. Foraker wore a frown during the m orning session. When McKinley was escorted to the chair as permanent presiding officer of tne convention, all tne Ohio delegates ex cept Cox, Lew Hadden and Foraker rose to their feet and cheered him. Foraker clapped his hands and smiled a little, but Cox and Hadden were sullen and disgusted. Cincinnati Hot for McKinley. The Cincinnati crowd is not satisfied, and under no circumstances will they vote for McKinley if he should be entered in the race after the others have had a heat and are found wanting. Judge King, of Youngstown, and Colonel Chase, of Dayton, visited the different headquarters during the day, arranging for a big Blaine demonstration. The Pennsyl vania boys were invited, and they turned out in force. The Judge said McKinley was working the Garfield racket, and he disapproved of his course. He added that the Ohio people want Blaine and nobody else. He claims half of the Buckeye dele gates will be found in the Blaine column on the first ballot Alleged Harrison men dis like ignoring McKinley'i wishes, but they will break from the President at the first chance. Colonel Chase spoke in a similar strain. The Pennsylvania delegates and visitors are spending the time between sessions ad miring the beautiful women of Minneapolis, and it must be added that the city is full of rosy-cheeked females. Pure air, minus smoke, keeps their complexions fair and spotless. Lakes Harriatt and Minnetonka and Minnehaha Falls are visited by crowds daily, who have tired oi yelling for candi- J' '&&&& J.S. PITTSBURG DISPATCH, dates, and are saving their strength until something is done. Grow Flops Over to Blaine. At the Pennsylvania headquarters thore was considerable talk about Tower's flop to Harrison. The truth is that he was in structed for Harrison, and is liable to be with the Blaine people after the first ballot, if not before. The surprise of the day was the rightabout-face of Galusha A. Grow. He's now out for the ex-Secretary. When he saw the Harrison people could not and would not make him Permanent Chairman he soured on the outfit and got under the Blaine ban ner. The general comment is that he waited too long before he made the break. The delegates from the Seventeenth and Nineteenth districts in Pennsylvania are also instructed for Harrison. Dick Murphy, who is Quay's private secretary, says the delegation will stand 62 to 2 in favor of Blaine. He thinks that all the delegates but Magee and Von Bonnhorst can be won over. Sir. Magee is very confident of Har rison's success, apparently, although the men in the delegation believe he is making a great bluff They fail to see why he should be under obligations to a man who for three years in his administration gave him noth ing, but at the last comes around with the Internal Collectorship as a sop. Magee, however, is looking to ttie future, and is content to bury the past Mo Changes Yet In West Virginia. - No changes are reported in the West Vir ginia delegation. The poll to-day showed 9 votes for Harrison, 2 lor Blaine', 1 absent Hewitt and Berry are the Blaine admirers. Thev come from the southwestern part of the State, and refuse to obey instructions. The Harrison people are having prominent West Virginians wire the recalcitrants to stand by their colors and carry out the wishes of their constituents. This plan doesn't work, either, and Berry and Hewitt are as firm for Blaine as ever. They are not the only Blaineiacs at heart in the delegation. At least three others will vote for Blaine after the first ballot if no nomination is made. West Virginia is at the bottom of the column, and will be among the last States called up. If by the time the State is reached it is seen that Harrison is defeated, nobody need wonder if the delegation goes VIEW OP MINNEAPOLIS, BIXOWnTO FALLS OP ST. ANTHONY AND solid for Blaine. Like other Southern peo ple, the West Virginians like to be on the winning side. Th ese pointers come from the inside, and can be relied upon. The feeling between Harrison and Blaine forces is so pronounced that a pollef most of the delegations will be demanded by one side or the other during the ballot Neither is willing to take the statements of the op position. The Harrison people applauded the rule giving any delegate the right to demand a poll If he is not satisfied with the announcement of the vote by the Chairman. Israel. FAILED FOR $40,000,000- The Oriental Bank, One of London's Great est, Forced to Soepend. London, June 8. The Oriental Bank Is in trouble owing to the decline in silver and losses in the Mauritius cyclone. The Bank of England is considering measures for its relief. Its capital Is 2,000,000; liabilities estimated at 9,000,000. The directors recommendthe depositors to withdraw only 20 per cent of their deposits in order to allow of the successful recon struction of the bank. The suspension is largely due to the de preciation in the value of silver, to the con sequent increasing distrust in Great Britain of investments in silver countries, and to the withdrawal of capital in the Fast coupled with the unprecedented condition of trade in China, Japan and Australia and losses incurred through the hurricane at Mauritius.

Skillful Conp of Harrison Men Meets Transient Sncces3 on THE LAST OASES CONSIDERED. Their Foes Soon Rally, and a Reconsidera tion Hotion Is Pending. WILT. FIGHT IT OUT THIS MORNING Minneapolis, June 8. The Blaine peo ple met with a surprise this afternoon in the Committee on Credentials. They found a counter-plan at work to defeat their pur pose to approve the proceedings of the National , Committee in the matter of the contested seats, and when a vote was taken on the delegates at large and one district of Alabama contested, they found themselves in the minority after having confidently looked forward to continued victory in all the contests, a previous test of votes having showed that they were in a majority and controlled the committee by a majority of six votes. It was only one vote by which they lost, and subsequently they pulled themselves together and carried a motion to adjourn, CONVENTION HALL. with another motion to reconsider pending. Blaine men on the delegation said it was a set-back, but predicted that things would come out all right in the end and before the report was prepared for sub mission to the convention it would be found that they were again in the majority. They said that to-night the fight would be re newed, and that they would carry their point and seat the antl-Moseley faction in Alabama, who have been given seats by the National Committee. Why Harrlsonites Shrink From a Fight. The news, however, gave a great deal of encouragement to the Harrison men, who, up to this time, have been bitterly com plaining of the way in which they were be ing treated by the Committee on Credentials. Some of their leaders expressed a fear that the committee did not propose to report at all, and were in favor of fighting the committee on the floor of the convention. From this they were restrained by the fact that defeat almost inevitably meant a loss of prestige, and they realized that on an indirect proposition, the delegates not there being bound by instructions, they were weaker than on a ballot Some votes, it was evident, wonld also be lost through an indisposition to condemn the party leaders by such a rebuke as would neces sarily be implied in an attack on the com mittees constituted in the regular way. The first movement on the part of the Harrison men, looking to more speedy work on the part of the Credentials Committee, was made in the convention, when Cogswell, ot Massachusetts, as unalrman or the com mittee, asked for more time. The move ment was cautious and involved no fight It was simply a preliminary skirmish for an advantageous position. Spooner, of Wisconsin, was put forward by the adminis tration men, and in two questions he have the information that with good luck a re port ought to be made to-morrow, and that the permanent roll might be made up at any time, so far as uncontested cases were concerned. Antl-Admlnlstratlon Men In Majority. An effort, made in committee previously to have these cases reported in advance of the report on the contested cases, had failed by a vote of 22 to 26, and it was for the pur pose of eliciting the fact that Mr. Spooner had made his inquiries. In speaking of his report Chairman Cogswell acknowledged to a reporter that the anti-administration men were in a majority and controlled affairs. Whether or not the tactics pursued had the effect of accelerating the movements of the other side for fear ot a fight, or whether, they were willing to show some signs of acceleration, is uncertain, but when the committee reassembled it pro ceeded with a little more expedition, and by the time for adjournment for sup per, had almost completed consideration of tbe Alabama contests, which, being the worst contests, were first taken up. It is not probable, however, that the work can be completed and a report made before to. morrow evening, and a night session to-morrow must be ordered by the convention if tbe third day of its session is to see it permanently organized and in full working order. This will throw the nominating speeches over until Friday, and later, if there should be a hard fight waged against the report, as has been threatened by the Harrison men. Smooth Sailing for a Season. The first case called was from the Eighth district, and here the report of the National Committee was approved with substantial unanimity. The anti-Moseley delegates were permanently enrolled. A fight was made on Hendricks and Fifzpatrlck, the representatives of the faction headed by Stevens and Gee, of the "New Idea," and known as the "Anti Moseleys "in the Third Alabama district," but a poll showed 27 Blaine to 21 Harrison votes, and they were also enrolled. In the Fourth district it was also demons trated that there was a good work ing majority, and Bland and Wilson, the anti-Moseleyites, were sustained in their right to seats. The Fifth district was, also, carried; but when it came to the delegates at large and the contest over one contested seat in the Ninth district, the administra tion forces mustered strong and executed a skillful coup d'etat They surprised the other side and carried the day temporarily for the Moseley, or officeholders' faction, by a vote of 24 to 23. In describing how it was done, one of the members ot the committee said a couple of 1892. fellows suddenly jumped over to the other side, one sneaked and ano'her was absent Amotion was made to reconsider, and an adjournment was carried until 8:30, when the motion to reconsider will come up and the fight be renewed. The Alabama contest was again taken up on reassembling, but left for the time in the shape they drew it The Fifth Kentucky was taken up and Matthews and "Winstell seated. This case has had several turns, and its significance is not apparent on the surface. Matthews has been usually classed as a Blaine man, but it is not certain that he is. HE HAS A DOUBLE. Strange Story of a Man Sentenced for Bigamy He Says Hlj Cousin Trans ferred to Him a Home, Wife and All, and She Never Knew the Olffarenc. Y0UNO3T0WN, O., June & Special Milton Dean, indicted in Trumbull county for bigamy, came here to-day to consult his attorney, and made the following sensa tional statement showing his innocence and presenting evidence to support it The accused is the son of Israel Dean, and was born in Michigan. When quite young his mother died and his father remarried. After this the home life ol the boy was not pleas ant, and when 12 years old he struck out for himself and earned his own living. He adopted the occupation of a driller, in which he was very successful. When he arrived at manhood he visited Cleveland, and later his cousin, Miles Dean, a son of John Dean, who was a driller. The resemblance of the cousins was striking, and the workmen frequently mistook one for the other. Miles became dissatisfied with his home; and decided to leave his young wife and go west He made a proposition to turn over his per sonal property to Milton, provided the lat ter would support bis family, and in formed him that if he would call upon a certain lawyer at Newton Falls he would be given a valuable paper. Milton inter viewed the lawyer and received a deed transferring to him a drilling machine and other property. Miles left the same day and Milton, after waiting until late iu the evening, went to the home of Miles. The wife had retired, but called, supposing it was Miles, and said he would find supper waiting. After finishing his repast Milton entered the room of his cousin's wife. The couple lived together four years as husband and wife, tbe latter not suspecting that he was other than her lawful husband, and two children were born to them. Marital differences cansed a separation of the couple, and the wife went to the home of friends at Beaver, Pa., where she now re sides. Shortly after the separation she visited Milton Dean at Alliance, informed him that she had applied for a divorce, and expected it would be granted in a few days. Milton Dean went to Cadiz, O., on business, and while there became acquainted with a young lady whom he married, believing that there was no legal impediment to his mar riage. In a lawsuit at Newton Falls re garding a drilling machine it was ascer tained that he had married a wife at Cadiz, while he had a legal wife living at Beaver, and he was arrested and indicted for big amy. Believing that it might be of assistance to him in showing his innocence, the accused related the story of his matrimonial ex periences with the wife of his cousin. Nothing is known of the cousin Miles since his disappearance. Investigation by rela tives personally acquainted with the two men, and the marks borne by one bears out the strange story as related by Milton Dean. Dean said to-day that he did not have the means to secure all the evidence Bhowing his innocence to find his cousin Miles, and had decided to throw himself on the mercy of tbe Courts This alternoon he was sentenced to one year in the peni tentiary.

HARD WORK IN' STATE DELEGATIONS Minneapolis, June 8. The sentiment in the Illinois delegation is very much mixed, and it is hard to say how the vote of that State will be divided when a ballot is finally reached. The Chicago Blaine Club, about 800 Btrong, is in the city, and has formally called upon Senator Cuilom and the Illinois delegation, and presented resolutions which are as follows: Whereas, At the time of tbe meeting of the Illinois State Convention, composed almost entirely of delegates of prononnced vlew9 In favor of the candidacy of James G. illalne. It wa9 tlie prevalent opinion thronzhout the country that Mr. Blaine's name would not come Defore the National Convention, and formal Instructions based upon such belief were given to tho dele gates at large to support the present Chief Alasistrate (or a second term; and Whereas, Similar resolution, under like circumstances, were given ut certain dis trict conventions in the State where the sentiment of the voters was overwnelminKly In favor of Mr. Blaine's candidacy, hut the expiesslon of which sentiment was pre vented by reason of the tame prevailing sentiment; and Contingencies Demand Blaine. Whereas, Certain contingencies have arisen In the State of Illinois which ren der it a supreme necessity to place at the head of the National Convention a man who will arouse the most intense enthusiasm of every Kepablican voter, and whose nomina tion will, beyond question of a doubt, result In a glorious victory lor the State as well as the nation; and Whereas, James G.

Blaine as the Republican candidate In the coming national contest; further. Resolved, That a commission ho appointed by tbe President of the Chicago delegation to present these lesolutions to the conven tion. More Congressmen In View. Mr. Barnes, in presenting the above reso lutions, assured Senator Cuilom that the club had adopted them, believing that Blaine's nomination would be for the best interest of the party. "We feel that Blaine's nomination will elect a greater number of Congressmen in Illinois," said Hon. George Hasmon, one of the members of the club indorsing the reso lutions. "This is a practical question, and we feel that the conditions are such that ne need every vote we can get in our State. Tnat Blaine has not been an avowed candi date we all know. Ii he had been, the uni versal sentiment would have spoken out and the result of the State Convention would have been different" Senator Cuilom, in replying, said he recognized that every American citizen had a right to speas, and lie would taice pleasure in presenting the resolutions at to-day's meeting oi the delegation. The delegation has been doing some quiet caucusing, but the strength ot the Presidental candidates cannot be learned. It is reported to stand Harrison 23.
