Show A LULL IN THE PltOCEEDIJiGS Like Jlicawher They Are Waiting for Some thins to Turn Up MINNEAPOLIS June nTho seeker after accurate information as to the relative standing of the two prominent candidates tonight were compelled to discard as ex travagant and misleading the figures is sued from tho headquarters of each and a careful analysis of the expressed preferences prefer-ences of all the delegations together with a classification of the uncommitted delegates dele-gates shows that each of the candidates is from twentyfive to fifty votes SHORT OF THE NOMINATION Tho balance of power if the vote was taken today would have been found with Alger I can truthfully be asserted that the past quarter of a century has never witnessed wit-nessed a convention where there was such a rapid subsidence of enthusiasm as is noticeable hero on the eve of the critical day which should decide the contest con-test The delay in reaching a ballot has caused every faction to realize that the citadel of the opposition is not to bo carried by assault after ali and they now await the result of a ballot Those who but twentyfour hours since HILARIOUSLY PARADED THU STREETS are now walking dejectedly to and fro and wondering how matters are going to end Tho loyal toot of the horn and triumphant blast of tho bugle and inspiring music of bands that buoyed their enthusiasm have also departed from tho contest There ft evidence of a consciousness on tho part of the average laymen that he is something of and a puppet in this battle for political mastery THE REFLECTION IS NOT GRATIFYING to the average American elector so that tonight it is not uncommon to see quietly conversing together a couple of privates who but a day or two ago wore arrayed in opposition and fiercely combatting presidential presi-dential preferences As they compare notes each one finds the other does not know much about the mysterious motives and unfathomaolo purposes of the gentlemen gentle-men who are the ruling spirits of his particular par-ticular crowd The diplomatictriumphs of Blaine in securing se-curing control of the organization of the convention and committees which play such an important part in the labors is the SENSATION OF THE DAY No one not even a leader of tho Harrison party appears to know exactly where the i conspiracy badburst or how it was carried into execution but it has forced itself on I every man that there is a deep motive and that the plans of the Blaine leaders were cautiously laid The most is made of the i advantage of the situation by the constant declaration of tbo Blaine managers that a they have control of the convention they will bo able to control the nomination |
