THE TOIES PHILiVDELPII I THURSDAY MOKXING, JUXE 1892. INDOOR SWIMMING RACES. HE WAS LAID OUT. ANSWER OF THE "PRESS" HI II evidence that in tho opinion of the Blaine men Harrison has not enough votes to nominate him. It is significant, however, that tho assertion that Harrison is defeated is not coupled with the assertion that Blaine can win.

Dark horse talk is heard everywhere to-night and McKinley still has somo determined friends. The two men most talked of are Ex-Speaker Reed and Senator Allison, the latter being an appareut favorite. All hands admit that tho chances of both Blaine and Harrison aro growing weaker every hour. H. P.

W. now report in uncontested cases, and tn this merely got from Cogswell theileclnrntton that the question almost answered Itself, as of course the committee was ready to report In uncontested cases. K. C. Lockwood, of Idaho, presented the report of the committee on organization.

A wild scene took place when the committee reported Oovernor William MIvlnlojr. ot Ohio, for permanent chairman. Samuel essenden, or Connecticut; Ex-Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, and General William Mahone, of Virginia, were appointed a committee to escort Governor Melvlnley to the chair. A magnificent ovation greeted the Governor when lie stepped upon the platform. Temporary Chairman Fnsselt Introduced ills successor, and In doing so said: Gentlemen ot the convention, beioro presenting to you your permanent chairman thoChitir desires to thank you most heartily for the kind forbearance which you have extended to him.

I now have the honor and the distinguished pleasure to introduce the Hon. William McKinley, of Ohio." port that rule, which means acceleration, aud quickness In tho duties of this convention." FORAKER REPORTS. The report of the committee on resolutions was next demanded aud Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, its chairman, arose. Instantly theconventlon burst Intoastorm of applause of welcome to the eloquent Ohloan. This lasted nearly a minute aud at the conclusion of the Impromptu ovation Chairman Foraker stated that his committee was unprepared- to report.

When the committee requested further time to consider the resolutions, an extension of time was granted and the roll ol stales was called for the names of a uow national committee. When Iowa was called and the re-election of Clarkson, tho Fdaine leader; was announced, cheer after cheer followed from the Blaine delegates. A similar demonstration greeted the report of thn names of J. H. Mauler, of Maine, and W.

W. Mahone, of Virginia, and when was called and William Warner presented the name of Richard C. Kerins, the Harrison delegates made a grand counter demonstration. Various resolutions and petitions, which bad been introduced and sent to the clerk's desk, were read bv title and referred to the committee on resolutions. "THE NEXT THING ON THE LIST." "Tho next, thing on the list is tho nomination of candidates lor the Presidency," said Chairman McKinley.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, nrose to question the regularity of this order or business, but the convention supposing be had arisen to place some one In nomination, complimented thodlstluguislicd Illinoisau with prolonged applause. The Senator wa slightly emharrassed, but, quickly recovering, he stated that he aroRetoquosilon the regularity of proceeding to nominating speeches before the adoption of the reports of the committees on credentials and resolutions. A glance at the rules showed that nominations could not be made until the reports of the committees had been received, nnd on motion of M. IT. De Young, of California, the convention adjourued uutll 11 o'clock tomorrow morning.

I shall never forget, my first experience at Toledo," said Max Scheuer, a New York drummer last night at Charlie Kern's. It occurred a half dozen years ago. I had Just started out upon the road and was about ns green a youngster ns ever attempted to capture business. Late ono afternoon I left Cleveland for Toledo. On the train I struck up an acquaintance wllhayouug cbnp who was traveling lor an undertakers' supply house, and we soon grew quite chummy and formed a sort of traveling partnership whllo our routes would permit us to be together.

Arriving at Toledo about midnight we went to the Island IIoti9e, a hotel which wus virtually an extension of the dcpoL Throwing my grip over the counter I wrote my name In big letters on the register and asked tor a doublo room. The clerk, altera good deal ol circumlocution, finally told us that he could not give ns a double room, or a single room, or nay room at all, as the hotel was filled clenr tot lie eves und tho dining room was lull of cots. I felt pretty hot under the collar Just then to think that we had wasted considerable time, nnd Improved ho opportunity to say a few emphatic things lo the young nincompoop who bad kept us waiting. Then we started nut to find another hotel. It was so late thnt we could get no conveyance, and so we trudged along block after block until at last we reached the Boody House, tired out and tn anything but a good humor.

We immediately registered and were assigned a good double room. I sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled off my shoes, and proceeded lo undress. Suddenly I Jumped up, with nn exclamation. What's the asked my companion. "'My valise.

I must have left It at the Island House. I'll swear I had It when I left IU Well, go to sleep. You can goover In the morning and look it up.

I lay there and coDured up all sorts of uncanny scenes. Whenever I drooped Into a doze 1 awoke with a start, believing thnt I was about to lie burled alive. It wns nearly daylight before tired nature succumbed nud I lell asleep. "When I nwoke, the sunlight, streaming through the window showed mn that It was nearly noon. The room was full of people, who were crowded about my bed, and a big, pompous old fellow was feeling my pulse.

I 6t bolt upright, rubbed my eyes to bo sure that 1 was not dreaming nnd then shouted, 'What in tho name of the great horned spoons does this mean "A cry went up from the crowd, 'Pshaw! he'sall rlabt "For answor I Jumped out of bed and grabbed a chair.

The latter demanded that the executive comm lttee Issue tickets of admission as delegates to'all his followers who claimed to be delegates. Iu a number of counties they held most of their meetings after the Jones men carried the convention, and by this means Kolb figures out that he has a majority, and demands.

A DANGEROUS GARMENT. She Yielded to the Instructress, But ried Over It. From the Detroit Tribune. The lovely girl who stood nt tho extremo end in the gymnasium class lingered aftertho others left and stood In charming Irresolution near the Instructress. She was the picture of health, and the dellcato color in her soft cheek glowed us the puro blood went bounding through the delicate nrterles.

Tho instructress turned to her with a kindly smile. Well, my dear." The lovely girl hung her head confusedly. "I I would liko your your advice," sho faltered. "Cerlninly. What Is It, my love?" From a voluminous packago the lovely girl, trembling aud nervous, drew a garment and displayed It with glance of mule appeal.

Wba what do you thlnkof It?" Iu what respect, my dear?" "Do do you think thiuk It would bo henlthy lo wenr?" The Instructress took the garment, felt of It critically and scrutinized It In every part. "Do you think It. would hurt me?" anxiously demanded the lovely girl. Tho instructress shook her head. "I think not," she replied.

The lovely girl beamed delightedly. "Ob, how glad 1 am. It looks Just too sweet on me." What's that?" The instructress frowned. Did you say It looks well on "Beautiful." The lovely girl was Inclined to bo ecstatic. "Let me sea It ngaln." The instructress looked very stern.

"My dear," sho observed, with severity, "upon reflection I think the garment would Interfere with tho action of the heart nnd diaphragm. I fear I cannot recommend you to wear It." The lovely girl was crestfallen. "I'm awful sorry," she pouted, and a tear glistened in her eye. It Is so stylish." What's that?" Horror Invested the countenance of tho Instructress. I bhUI It wns so stylish," murmured tho girl, blushing In shame." "Stylish? Huh." The Instructress shuddered.

My dear," she solemnly declared, "if yon wear that garment It will thrust your fibs through your lungs nnd compress yuur stomach so that you can't eat." The lovely girl cried a little but It wns only one of the many disappointments which nhe, us a healthy woman, must endure. Wilmington's I'oltce Sensation. Wilmington, Juno 8.

Harrison McCornbs, of town, received a second-class ovation as ho stood, but nothing like that accorded Foraker, who was received with soldier yells, Fora-ker's hair is a little gray. He is said to prefer Sherman to McKinley. OTHER LEADERS CHEERED. Clarkson got loud applause as Iowa put him on tho national committee. Mauley, of Maine, pot also an ovation, and tho same for Fesscndeu.

Kerens knocked out Fillcy in Missouri. Depew and Foraker held a loving conference. Mahone seemed to be in full favor and looked happy as a patriarch. At a quarter to 1 the convention adjourned for twenty-two hours, bringing upon to-morrow tho contest over credentials and the Ions nominating speeches. As I stood in an alcove of the long bridge my name was called and Judge Robertson, of Now York, reached out his hand.

"Wo aro in a queer situation. Judge," I said. "Oh, yes," he replied. "I admire Mr. Itlaine more than any man in this country, but he told us that ho would not njn ami of course we pave our fealty in other directions that makes it awkward." In a few minutes I came upon Mr.

Heckcr, generally regarded as General Alger's manager, who was quite curious to know if I had any figures. lie called to a gentleman who does the figuring for Algcrand said Four hundred and thirty-ono votes is all that Harrison lias got. I have given tho Harrison men tho benefit of all doubts." Mr. Hecker added I do not believe there will be any result on the first ballot." it's a little rczzi.E. As I turned I thought to myself If they admit 431 votes that leaves but nineteen for Harrison to pet," and I called tho Alger figurcr back and said to him: "How many votes have you put in tho unknown column?" He answered that it was nearer ninety than eighty.

T'pon this I thought "If thero aro so many doubtful States, will not Harrison scare up nineteen of them, and especially when, in every convention, thero are scores of second-rate men dying to liavo it?" I met Frank Hiscock and said to him: Tell me sincerely how many votes Harrison has got." "We have passed the point of boasting," Baid Hiscock. We count Harrison 520 votes and that gives every one of these contested delegations to the other side." WHEN WILL THE END COME? "When do you think the convention will get away?" "Not before Friday night. Tho policy of the leaders against Harrison is to tire folks. They can't do it. The opponents of Harrison in their newspapers last night conceded him 410, leaving him only ten votes to get, but wo believe, that our figures are more correct and that wo have 70 votes to spare.

Depend ou it, he will be the nominee of this convention." How is the New York delegation for Har- I rison, Mr. Hiscock "It has votes for Harrison in any event. There are six scattering votes for McKinley, Alger and others, the rest are for Iiiaine." 1 said to an Indiana journalist: Who is the best manager of Harrison's campaign here Harrison," he answered. But Harrison is not here." Oh, yes, he is. The President always has a wire to tho convention, the telegraph company it to him.

He can talk right into the room of those who do his bidding bore. Harrison is an expert in conventions and his judgment is much better than that of anybody around tho convention. He knows the especial tie which attaeiies this or that man to him, and be can jog the memory of Smith or Jones about ft favor sometime ago received or still due. Blaine has lost the only sou who understood politics and his father perfectly Walker Blaine. Harrison has kept his own son from hero, which was good play, hut he is on the ground in person.

't he first cheering, as on yesterday, was when McKinley entered, and the ovation lacked none of its heartiness. Tho snowy- haired, sombre-featured Fred Douglass was the next to evoke cheering.

Illinois, following the example of California, brought In a standard to-day. It was a bright blue, with gold lettering. Inscribed "Lincoln, Grant, Logan." Iuguils, of Kansas, got a quick volley of loud recognition when he put In an appearance. Titn i.r..vnr.r.s i.ate. At 11 o'clock but a few ot tho best-known leaders could be seen In the crowds.

I'latt, Quay, Clarkson, Depew and many others of tho most prominent were missing, although the hour of assembling had purposely been made late. Sewell, of New Jersey, had a troubled look. He was hurrying about looking for a member of the committee ou permanent organization. There was no known reason the committee should not bo ready, but tho members apparently could not bo found. And it, was tills cirenmstunoo as much as any other that prevented the convention being called to order as early as expected.

Spooner and Payne, of Wisconsin, wero holding an unlimited colloquy with the Wisconsin delegation, hut when they separated l'ayne denied tha, the Rusk boom was under consideration. Payne solemnly asserted that It was oiilr a pleasant little chat on bis part with his Wisconsin colleague. The fact that l'ayne has been an outspoken opponent, of Harrison and Spooner, unci nn earnest ndvo-caie of Harrison's nomination, caused some rumors that their talk was directed lowurd a compromise on Husk. CALLED TO OltDEn. It was close on to noon and tho hnll was crowded almost to Us utmost capacity when Chairman Kassett pounded for order.

Bishop hippieof Minneapolis, then opened the proceedings wit prayer, In which ho eloquently Invoked the Dlvlno blessing on the deliberations of the convention. Immediately after the Bishop's prayer L. Walker, of Beatrice, on behalf of the Nebraska delegation, presented Temporary Chairman Fassctt with ff gavel. niado from trees grown on ttie first homestead In Nebraska. The gavel, be sold, was of wood of hardy growth aud was Inlaid with silver.

I desire to return my thanks to tho delegates from Nevada lor this gavel," said Chairman Kassett. A good ileal of laughter was provoked by Mr. Fussett's mistake, but, quickly correcting himself, lie added: I mean Nebraska. There was so much silver In the speech that mv mistake was involuntary." The nox' tiling in order was the report. n( the committee on credentials, and Cogswell, of Massachusetts, by direction of lie committee, usked lor further time und permission to sit continuously.

Spooner, of Wisconsin, was on his feet. In nn Instant In behalf ot the administration men to spur for advantage, and put some Interrogation to Cogswell, who was also an administration man, but tied and bound fust in committed by an adverse majority, Cogswell had, In committee, endeavored to bring about, a report of uncontested cases before the permanent roll was made up as to contested cases. MAIIK CHAIRMAN. Spooner asked when the convention might reasonably expect a report. To thin Cojs-wcll replied thnt It was a matter of persona! opinion, but If Its proceeding were attended with reasonable success they could not hope to report before to-morrow.

Kerins for national committeeman from Missouri Is significant so far as concerns poll-tics in the state of Missouri. It Indicates that the Kerins men havosucceeded In overthrowing Chnuncey I. Fllley, the well-known Quaker. Fliley has always had opposition, but heretofore has pulled through. There was quite nn exciting time this morning In the meeting of the Missouri delegation and Kerins was chosen committeeman by a vote ot 10 to 13 for Fillcy, 1 for Major Warner and I absent.

In tho present political fight Fillcy has been for Blaine and Kerlus for Harrison. The Missouri delegation Is a little slow on going on record about the Presidential nomination, but the probabilities aro that Harrison has 21 or "2 out of the 34 delegates. The trouble got very hot before tho meeting was over. Major Warner and District Attorney Reynolds, both of whom are Harrison men, came to blows. Both are impetuous, hotheaded men, and a tow of words terminated In Major Warner sending out his fist with such etl'ect that.

Reynolds was knocked down. A reconciliation was effected. ILLINOIS DELEGATES DIVIDED. The Majority Said to Favor Harrison's Renomlnatlon. Minneapolis, June 8.

The sentiment in tho Illinois delegation Is very much mixed and It Is hard to say bow the voto of this Stato will bo divided when ballot Is finally reached. The Chicago Blaine Club, about SOQ strong, Is In the city nnd has lormally called upon Senator Cullom and the Illinois delegation and presented resolutions In favor of Blaine. The delegation has been doing some caucusing, but the strength of tile Presidential candidates cannot be lenrued. It Is reported to stand Harrison, P.laine, in, and six absent. Thero Is very little talk among the delegates of supporting Senator Cullom for President, should an outsider be selected.

MINERAL SAMPLES. The Waste nnd Loss Consequent Cpon Neglecting Them. From the Fnclncerinc Magazine.

Miners otten save especially hnndsome specimens of native gold nnd silver, yet they do not spem to renllzo that nuggets, wire and crystallized examples have a very much better market among the museums and private collectors, to say nothing of the regular dealers, thau they have at the furnace. What is saved is usually lor the possessor's own gratification merely, or tomake a handsome showing lu a company's office, as happened the other day when a specimen of wire Bllver from the Mollie Gibson mine at Aspen, after being dressed down from ninety pounds and still weighing seventy-five pounds ten ounces, escaped obliteration. Yet the amount of valuable material, some of It almost unreplacable, that Is constantly being pounded up In tho mills or going Into the furnaces and being destroyed ns specimens Is something that would appall nn nrdent mineralogist, whllo on the purely utilitarian side the difference between tho bullion value nnd theoxlrlnslc valuation Hint Is lost is often very considerable. For I example good specimens of crystallized gold and sliver often bring several times their weight value, either for enriching collections er to be mado up into ornumentnl forms. In i one case an enthusiastic collector gave for a piece of quartz containing some cubical crystals of gold which would not weigh one-halt an ounce.

The waste sometimes goes on on a larger scale than Ihe mere loss of a few scattered lln Idaho mine some worth ol specimens were savea wiinoui rnucn irnuoie. nut besides the native metals aud Ihe ores, a great ninny rare minerals, or specimens valued because of. their crystallization or peculiar association, but having no value ns ore perhaps, are met with In the course of mining aud aro usually thrown over Ihe waste dump.

He said: 'I thank you for the honor of presiding over this convention of tho Republican party. Republican Conventions mean something. They have always meant something. Republican Conventloussay what they mean and mean what they say. They declare principles and policies and purposes and when intrusted with power execute nnd enforce them.

The first National Convention of the Republican party was held thirty-six years ago In the city of Philadelphia, The platform of that great convention reads today mora like inspiration than the affirmation of a political party. Every provision of that great Instrument niado by the fathers of our party are on tho public statutes of our country to-day. Kvery one ot them have been embodied Into public law and that cannot be said of tho platform of any other political organization In this or any other country of tho world. Whenever there Is anything to be done in this country and by this country and for this country tho Republican parly is called upon to do It. THE TARIFF AND "Tboro is one thing that can be said about our organization that cannot bo said about any other.

It can look backward without shame or humiliation and It cau look forward with cheer and exultation. That cannot be said of any political organization other than ours in the United Slates. Thus, gentlemen of the convention, we aro here to-day to make a platform and a ticket that will commend themselves to tho conscience and Intelligence and judgment of the American people, and we will do it. Whatever is done by this convention, either as to platform or as to ticket, will receive tho approval of the American people in November of this year. We have already heard some of tho notes of victory, for this Is a Republican year.

Rhode Island has spoken, (inly yesterday Oregon spoke, electing throe representatives three Republican representatives to the Congress of the rnlleil Stales, and when we tot through with this convention Its conclusions will tie tho law of Republican action, as they will be tho assurance of Republican victory. We are for a protective larllf aud for reciprocity. We propose to take no backward step upon either one of these great Republican principles. We stand for a protective tariff because it represents tho American home, the American fireside, the American family, the American girl, the American boy, and tho highest possibilities of American citizenship. MORE TAItlFK TALK.

We propose to raise our money for public expenses by taxing the products of other nations rather than by laxlug the products of our own. The Democratic party believo In direct taxation, that Is. In taxing ourselves, but we do not believe In that principle so long as we can find anybody else to tax. Our protective tariff not only does everything which a revenue tarlft Is doing, raising all needed revenues, but a protective tariff docs more. A protective tariff encourages and stimulates American industries and gives the widest possibilities to American genius aud American effort.

Does anybody know what tariff reform Is? And that Is to be tho platform of our political opponents thlsyenr. What does It mean? You say study President Cleveland's utterances from the first one made In New York, when he said he did not know anything about the tariff, until his last one In Rhode Island, and you coinn away Ignorant, and uninformed as to what tariff reform means. "Since the war there have been three great tariff reform bills proposed by Democratic leaders, none ot them alike, neither ol them with the same free list, neither ol them with the same tariff list, neither of them with the same rates of duty, but all made by tho Democratic party upon the same principle to symbolize and represent tariff reform. You may go to Mills. You may go to Sprinter aud you will find they differ totally; but you may go to the House of Representatives at Washington, which wns elected distinctively upon what they called a tariff relorm Issue witli two-thirds majority lu tho House, and what do you rind? They pass three Mils.

Let mo name thorn. First, Ireo tin plate, leaving sheet steel, from which It Is made, tariffed. That Is, the finished product free and the raw material bearing a duty. Second, free wool to tlio manufacturer and tariffed cloth to the consumer. Third, free cotton ties to tho cotton Slates and tariffed hoop iron to all the rest of the States.

IT IS STIUrTI.Y AMERICAN. "That Is their ldeaof tariff reform. Gentlemen of the convention, how do you like it? This contest that we enter upon is for the maintenance of protection and reciprocity, and I want to say here that thero Is not a line In that tarlffhlll that Is not American there Is pot a passage that, Is not patriotic; there Is not a pnge that does not represent triy Americanism and the highest possibilities of American citizenship. We aro to declnre ourselves upon other questions hereto-day. We are to declare ourselves upon ihoqueR-1 tion ot a free ballot and a fair count.

No plat'orm should ever be made that does not reiterate that great constitutional guarantee; no Republican speech should ever be made that does not Insist firmly and resolutely tliat that great constitutional guaranty shall be a living brth right.not a cold formality of constitutional enactment, lint a living ihlnj, which the poorest, and humblest may confidently enjoy and which the richest and most powerful dare not deny. We can well leave to the committee on resolutions the duty of making a platform 1 hat shall represent the best thoughts and the best Ideas and the best wisdom of the Republican parly. When we go out of tills convention upon a true Republican platform we go out. marching to victory, uo matter what uamo may carry the banner!"

Minneapolis, June 8. Major McKlnley's speech was greeted throughoutwllh the wildest applause. At Its conclusion calls for Fred Douglass, the colored orator, elicited simply a bow of acknowledgment. Tho chair announced the next order of business to be tho report of the committee on rules and order of business. In presenting It General II.

H. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, said that the report adopted tho rules of iho House of Representatives of the Fifty-first Congress for tho government of the convention and after lis other details provided tho following order of business: Report of the committee on credentials report of the committee on permanent organization report of tho commllteo on resolutions; naming of members of tlio national i committee presentation of candidates for President; balloting; presentation of candidate tor Vice I'reslden ballot Ing. "Your committee," added General Bingham, would report that tho rules submitted are with two exceptions those of Iho last National Convention, which were substantially those of tho conventions of Isso end ls.St.'Tlrese rules were found to work smoothly and with an amendment adopting the rules ol the House of Representatives of the Fifty first Congress and a new rulo Inserted proposing that a motion to table an amendment shall not carry wit It or prejudice lie pending measure, It Is holered tliey will bo sallslac. tery to the convention.

Special Telegram to Tiif. Timks. Minneapolis, Juno 8.

When in to-day's session of tho convention Pennsylvania was reached on tho call of States for members of tho national committee Ex-Chairman Kecder, in tho absence of Senator Quay, asked for additional time, which was granted. It was learned later that tho reason for General Eeeder's request is quito interesting. Many of tlio Quay men understood that Ex-State Chairman W. II. Andrews was to be given tho vacant placo, as Quay had promised it to him nearly a year ago.

When the subject camo up yesterday tho fact was dovcloped that Quay had decided to turn the Crawford county warrior down, nnd tho delegation at ouce proceeded to comply with his request. The namo of David Martin was then decided upon, also at Quay's request, and the honor was conferred upon tho Nineteenth ward statesman, who, however, accepted conditionally. Should Harrison he renominated Martin will not be named, but the success of any other candidate will make, him a member of the national committee. In case Harrison should win another man will be named, but it will not be Andrews. THE DELEGATES RETICENT.

All the members of ilki delegation aro reticent on the subject. None of them will talk further than to say that Martin is entitled to tho placo If he wants it. They will not say why Andrews, who has long been anxious to figure in national affairs politically, should havo been knocked, out, but it is known that Quay was very much dissatisfied with Andrews' work at the recent, State Convention. His mismanagement of tho Delemater campaign, followed by his exhibition of incompetency in the Henderson judicial light, still remains fresh iu the minds of tho Pennsylvania politicians, nnd they arguo that his turning down is tho natural sequence of his own idiotic work. The Philadelphians are still without instructions.

Their Illainecnthusiasm is gradu ally oozing out under tho influence of tho buy life they are leading in their comfortable quarters. They have, no information as to Quay's roal position and aro weary ofthe restraint that prevents them from joining in tho hurrah business, which, by the way, is fast diminishing in both quality and quantity. The prospect of staying here until Saturday is not pleasing to the "boys," nnd unless they get orders to shout for somebody very soon several of them will go back home. THE BLAINE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE. That tho Pilainc pcoplo are growing very nncomfortablo was apparent on every side this morning.

There were somo warm words in one of tho cars ou the Philadelphia train. David H. Lano and Dave Martin undertook to talk District Attorney (iraham into tho Rlaino camp. They hinted at ingralitudo and made threats, but Mr. Graham held his own against tho two leaders and is understood to have talked very plainly in defense of his stand for Harrison.

The bad temper of Martin, Lano and the others was not improved when they learned that H. Mnllin, the delegate from Cumberland, had deserted the Blaine flag. Hois said to have sent a noto to Quay in form him of his determination to join the Harrison contingent. This makes the delegation stand Iiiaine fifty, Harrison thirteen, Sherman one. It is tacitly understood that Hamilton Disston has been pulled oil.

Ho is said to have promised not to be present when the voting begins. This will put Magistrate Ahern in his seat and give Iiiaine the round fifty votes. rtELI) IN A Tlf.IIT PLACE. Thero Is no longer any doubt that tho Blaine people are disheartened. It is asserted and not denied that Emmons Blaine has them in a tight and decidedly uncomfortable position.

Young Blaine has full charge of his father candidacy, and up to now posi tively refuses to allow his father's namo to go before the convention unless Quay, Clarkson nnd tho others can prove to him that tho Maine statesman has enough votes to win. He will not tako promises, but insists upon having nbsolute pledges, and these tho Quay people are unable to give him. They have less tlian four hundred votes absolutely plctlged, though they claim enough to nominate. This explains tho dilatory tactics employed in the convention. Kvery possible chance to put off the show of hands is taken advantage of, and it looks as though part of the programme was to tire out tho negro delegates by keeping them hero until their liinds arc exhausted and then buy them outright.

The most active missionary work is now being done among the Southern delegations, but so far tlio Harrison forces aro held well in hand, and no defections havo been reported. Micheiicr, New and the others aro well satisfied and say they havo given Mr. Blaine respectful treatment so far, but will not submit to more thau twenty-four hours' more delay. They will assume the aggressive on Friday at the latest and profess not to fear that Allison, who now to be the anti-Harrison dark horse, can pull away enough votes to hurt their candidate. II.

p. w. THE DARK HORSE LOOMS UP. Quay's Delegates ailed to Consider a Third Candidate. (special Telegram to Tint TtMrcs.

Minneapolis, June 8. Lato this evening a call was issued for a meeting to-morrow morning at 10 o'clock of tho Pennsylvania delegation. Tho ostensible purpoEo is the selection of a member of the national committee, but incidentally the question of a third Presidential candidate will ho considered. An effort will bo niado to induce Quay to again serve on the committee, hut it is not believed that he will con-soil! and should he persist iu refusing David Martin will undoubtedly bo chosen. The call for this caucus is looked upon as a.
