Of the contests so far disposed of by this committee, the Blaine delegates have been seated in every instance, al though in several of these contab soere was no difference as to presiden tial preferences of the contesting dele gates. The Alabama contest was decided in favor of the Blaine delegates, the vote standing 34 to 23.

REPUBLICANISM- ANOTHER DAY LOST WAITING ON THfe COMMITTEE. THEY ARE NOT READY YET Minneapolis. June 8.—The opening of tbs day found no significant change in the presidential situation. Both sides are still apparently as confident as ever. General Alger is still in the field, and no less than half a dozen other distin guished Republicans of national reputa tion are mentioned as possible compro mise candidates. No one knows when a ballot is likely to be cast, as the whole progress of the convention appears to be dependent en tirely on the action of the committee on credentials. This organization practically controls the political situation as it is within its power, in case that power is exercised unscrupulously to seat or unseat enough delegates to exercise the balance of tower in the convention. It is very manifest that the proceedings of that .-ommitGe are not to be characterized jy that harmony which has been so trongly urged on all sides for the past wenty-four hours. The Blaine people have control of the committee, but the opposition has a very large and aggressive minority, and •very vantage point is contested stub- uornly and el- qiontly. It has generally been the custom that die committee ou credentials appointed m the first day of the convention, has been prepared to report on the opening if the second, but that will not be the use this year, and no one knows the ay, not even the secret manager of the Maine forces, when that committee may leeiu it advisable to expedite its busi es* and present its report.

Pabner leaned from all quarters, show that he Blaine and Harrison forces are of ilmoet equal strength at this time. The Blaine people have the advantage of or- anizatiou, not only of the convention >nt of the important committees ; bnt he Harrison managers certainly sne- eed in keeping their forces well to- etber to prevent the slightest appear uce of demoralization. The Knowledge that McKinley is to t chairman of the convention added oincwbat to the presidential boom of he governor of the Buckeye state, vhich is being widely discussed by the ui>re conservative delegates, and there h evidenily a movement in some quar- rs to spring his name as a dark horse iLen the occasion seems to indicate the irobnbility of such action.

The convention was called to order at 11:45 a. m. Minnea[ioli3 presented the convention vitli a gavel. • o Kinley Made Permanent Chairman. William McKinley, of Ohio, was ee- ected as permanent chairman of the onvention. Spooner and Mahone were iDpointed a committee to conduct McKinley to the chair. The chairman of the committee on ertnanent organization introduced per manent chairman McKinley. There trnB great cheering. When McKiuley took the platform, ihe convention was on its feet cheering. He said this convention would present a datform and candidate that would meet with the approbation of the conn ry, and predicted success in November. 9e spoke in great praise of the protect ive tariff and its results. He said the party’s duty wss to see that there was a free and honest ballot in all parts of the land. The Committee oa Boles Report. Bingham of Pennsylvania, submitted tbo report of the rules committee mak ing the rules of the 81st congress the rules of the convention with necessary modifications. Charges of bribery can be heard nil -,ver the convention balk Both sides are yelling bribery. The colored brother will probably not be long in the shuffle when the "long green” is being handed round. Colonel Bock said that so far as the Georgians were concerned the bribers might jnst as well keep their money in thetr pockets. "We can’t be swerved from onr duty,"said the coloneL "We are here to do our duty to President Harrison, and we are going to do it. Georgia will stand by the president through thick and thin. ” I asked the colonel if he believed that the stories about the use of money, and he smiled and replied: " Well, I guess there are some people unscrupulous enough to attempt to prostitute delegatee, but you say to the people that Georgia will not have occa sion to blush for her tnte the balance of power, and be suffi cient to bring in a second ballot, and then a third, and so on, and protracted balloting is set down as fatal to both Blaine and Harrison. It is understood that there are O-iio delegatee who will not vote for McKinley under any possi ble condition. Then comes the ques tion : Can a man be nominated without his state solidly for him, "if he is mere ly a favorite son?" The answer is "No.” If he is s man of note and reputed achievement, for whom there is s gen eral demand, the answer might be dif ferent Tom Bead Baa a Boom. The Reed boom is upon many tongues, and a compromise on the burly czar is not at all improbable. It is said that Reed went to two members of tho Mas* sachuaetts delegation and announced opens with the leaders of both riva forces still claiming success, bnt eviden tly somewhat doubtful of their owr prophesies. The night jnst passed has not been each as to give cheer to the followers of either candidate. The estimates of the past week have, as delegation after delegation reported, gradually given place to facts, until the conclusion now forces itself upon the mind of every conservative man that each of the two leading candidates is from forty to sixty votes short of the nomination. So, after all, the indications are that the tenth national Republican conven tion is to be a battle royal and that the nomination is the property of no man, and that the field is practically open to all of the great leaders who have the courage and chivalry to enter the con test. No Sleep for the Bomm. It has been a sleepless night for those in whose hand has been placed the des tinies of the rival chieftains of the Re publican party. Conferences innumerable have been held and all aUnsenaouts hnswn to tbs political sagacity we hold crib to toe wavering delegates in ardor to stake their allegiance to the candidate ai their choice. The Harrison leaders profess to be still firm in their resolve to win if they can, bnt to go down if they most in voting for the distinguished son of the Hoosier state; but the prolonged delay in positive developments is having its effect on the sober seoood thought among the more conservative men in the Harrison ranks, as well as those of the Blaine ranks. The chief anxiety with the Harrison managers now is to force a ballot in or der that a test of strength may be had. and that the fearfal suspense and anxie ty of the week may be brought to a dose. The policy of Blaine’s managers is still one of procrastination and delay. There is no evidence that their candi date has a vote sufficient to effect his nomination on the first ballot, and ae their chief hopes in this contest have depended upon enthusiasm, they fear that a failure to nominate then might result in a reaction, which all the magic of his name would he powerless to stay. There is every probability that the Harrison people will forge a contest un less a reconsideration of tbeir intention should change the program. They an nounced with considerable warmth that the leisurely committee on credentials would be forced to accelerate its pro gress and submit a report in order that the balloting might not be further de layed. The Sherman Boom. The Sherman boom is on. Every prominent man has had his name men tioned as a dark horse, bnt Sherman’s was never sprang until to-night. His managers are at work. Telegrams are pouring In from all di- Hon. Charles Fleiscbmann. MR. REED. privately that if New England would vote for him, he believed he could be the nominee. These men placed his name before the Massachusetts delega tion, and with bnt one exception—Con gressman Cogswell, who is ~ a Harrison man—they announced a willingness to vote for Reed. Many other delegations ere approached by emissaries of the nay-Clarkson-Platt combine, and in ~ cases Reed's name ua> received with favor and in a few with enthusiasm. Particularly with the southern dele gations was Reed’s name received with great favor. While the twentv-six Georgia delegates are announced as solid for Harrison, almost every man of them would go to Reed on the secoud ballot. Reed is a man after the south ern republican’s heart, be he white or black, and that is why the plotters are pushing him so promptly to the front. wei k Be Defended Foraksn An exciting scene occurred in the bar of the West House.

McKinley MsJ •The McKinley lightning-rod has been ran up a few feet higher and there is s good deal of thunder in this country. There is no longer any room for doubt than the immediate biends of the Gov ernor expect him to receive a coreidur able number of votes on the first ballot. The Governor himself, through a mixture of timidity mud eanaeof honor, still absolutely forbids any Ohio dele tes to vote tor him to too Buskuys sad to be deat witn the Silver question. The com promise as to the language was that the declaration should be substanially as follows: The American people are, by tradition and interest, in favor of the bimetallic coinage of gold and silver, bnt one dollar should be as good as another dollar, that surer should be coined at Having re-entered business in my new and roo stables, I again solicit that liberal patronage which fixed by legislation, and that ’uieforth^ [good people have Leietofc *e accorded me. coming international conference is en dorsed as probably furnishing a satisfac tory solution of this vexed question of our financial relations. As a concession to the silver men, who also represent toe wool-growing states, the committee agreed to toe in sertion in toe tariff plank of an emphat ic protest against the action of the De mocracy in singling out lead end wool as articles to be placed ou the free List. A free coinage nesclaticm, pure and simple, was voted down in the subcom mittee on this branch of the platform by a vote of 8 to 3. Then the plank above given was formulated. It is still subject to revision. I promise^ i lem that same fair dealing which has always been my endeavor to have with them. Washington St, Tho Alternates Want Blaine. At a meeting o* the alternates of the California delegation, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: ~ Resolved. That the alternates of the California delegation, believing that they represent the wishes of the people of their respective sections, are unanimously in favor of .James G. Blaine as the nominee of the Minneapolis convention, and regret that they have not the power to cast the votes of California for him.
