Ex-Senator Ingalls prophecies the nomination of McKinley at Minneapolis, The Kansas People’s party and Democrats have agreed to combine against the Republicans. The conference of Alliance ( leaders in Tennessee resolved to stick by the Democratic party. ,• The Republicans of the Ninth District renominated Congressman Waugh at Logotee, on the Ist, by acclamation. The Wisconsin Prohibitionists adopted a platform demanding prohibition, an ample circulating medium issued by the government, education in the English language under the supervision of the State, and government control of the railroads and telegraph. A full State ticket was nominated.

Secretary Blaine Is reported to have emphatically reiterated at Washington on the Ist “that his naihe will not go before the Minneapolis convention; that he will not be its nominee.” Senator Quay visited Blaine on the same date and endeavored to get his consent to use his name as a candidate, but absolutely failed. John C. New says ip a published interview that Chauncey M. Depew will make the speech nominating President Harrison at the Minneapolis convention.

Mr. Blaine’s hame will not be mentioned until the roll call begins. Nothing as yet has been heard from Mr. Blaine to interfere with this program, though there always remains the possibility of something coming from him at the last moment, as his Scotland dispatches lame into the convention of 1888.
