Delegates Face Ballot Dilemmas in 1896 Nominations
In Minneapolis and elsewhere, delegates debate second ballot strategies for Blaine Reed and Alger. Michigan splits, Platt backs Blaine, while southern and colored delegates react to pressure and promises. City crowds estimate 50,000 to 75,000 as Sherman offers no guidance. Maryland Democrats name electors and unpledged delegates lean toward Cleveland.

Convention betting and Blaine raid stir party scene
A lone $1,200 stake stood as the only reported bet as ex Speaker Reed met the California delegation and offered no political remarks. The Indiana Blaine faction raided New York quarters after adjournment, cheering their rivals before surrendering the premises. In Tremont Temple Boston colored citizens denounced southern and New York outrages, urging punishment and removal of the word white from the Chinese exclusion bill. Speakers included Bishop A Grant and Georges W Bryant.
