Horace White , of the Now York Evening Post , is in the city , and says Arthur can poll moro votes in Now York than any Republican who can bo nominated. White ia aupporting Eamunds , but docs not think there is any prospect of his candidate being nomin ated at Chicago. If Arthur is nominated ho will support him cheerfully. SOHURZ 1IOLTINCI AOAIN.

THK TALK AT WASHINGTON. Special Dispatch to THE BEE. WASHINGTON , May 18. The preaidon- tial queation ia now the exciting theme , and taken together with the panic has given Washington all it can talk about. Delegates are beginning to como and re port tha situation in their various locali ties. The prospects for Arthur'siiomina- _ tion are considered very bright. LOGAN AND IILAINE. Logan proposes to attend the national republican convention himself , and bo on hand to see that his delegates do not scatter. A nicoilittlo fight is in progress between him and Blaine , which can only result in Arthur's favor. If anybody wants to hear windows rattle with a ver bal cyclone , the only thing ho has got to do is to suggest to Logan that his adher ents will so over to Blaine after n few ballots. Blaine haa no love for Logan , as is shown by the talk of his friends who claim that 35 of Logan'a men in Illinois are pledged to Blaine after the second ballot. HARRISON AND UAW1KY. Special to the Chicago Dally News. WASHINGTON , D. 0. , May 10. At at tempt ia being made by Senator Hoar and certain politicians of Indiana and othotb to forr/i a combination botwcon Harrison and Hawley , but they have not made much progress so far. Mr. Hoi > r ia opposed to Arthur , Blaine , and Ed munds , and would not like to vote for either of them. Harriaon suits him very well , and ho thinks that if ho can get Hawley interested enough ho can carry a formidable support for the combination into the convention. But Hawley does not look upon the suggestion with any favor. Ho would like to bo the candi date for president. IIo wouid accept the vico-presidoncy if nominated , but would not ask the Bupport of any one for the second place on tlio ticket , llawley is for Arthur , and iliurison has not sufficient strength in his own state to give him much influence in a trado. FKW CONTESTS. The committee on credentials of the republican national convention will have very little to do. There will be two full delegatiana from Virginia ono led by Mahono and the ether by Desendoif but the former has boon recognized by the national committee. It represented every county in the state , while the anti- Mahone convention was compoecd of but 13U dtlegatos , representing but thirty- fivu of thu " " .inties. The delegates to the so-cu. straight out" , convention were only from the counties along the line of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad , which ia owned and controlled by 0. P. Huntington , a personal friend of Mr. Blaine , and may bo properly called Huntington'H convention. There are = 23 T also contests in the 1st Georgia , the 1st - - * i Alabama , the 10th Now York , and the ( ith and 7th North Carolina districts , where both delegations are for Arthur. In the 2nd Illinois , two Logan men con test the seats of two Arthur men , and in the 21et and 22d Pennsylvania districta , in the Cth Now York , and in the ( ith Maryland , the contcat is between the friends of Arthur and Blaino. It is ex pected that the 5th Minnesota district contest will bo settled by the delegates themselves before the convention meets. Till : CHAIRMAN , The selection of a chairman for the national republican convention is already a matter of discussion among the friends of the candidatts , and although it ia sup posed to bo the dtity of the ( omnnttoo on permanent organization to name the man the choice will bo 'nado long buforo the committee arc chosen. The Blame man are advocating Harrison , of Indiana , who is supposed to bo Mr. Blaino's second choice f jr the presidential nomination , but if ho ia u candidate before the con * ventiun , the honor of the chairmanship will bo Bought , for the lion. Ciitthman K. Davis , of St. Paul , in whoso oflico a son of Mr. Blainu studied law. llorr , of Michigan , ia aho apokon of , and Senator Sowoll , of Net ? Jfr oy. _ The Arthur men will concede the chairmanship to thu EJmunda contingent , or to the friends of BO me other dark horse candidate , and are talking of several goiitlemen whw are well qua'ifiod for the position. Among the nanus mentioned are these of Oeorgo William Curtia , of New York ; AugustuB Brandt-gee , of Connecticut ; ex- Soiwtor Henderson , of Missouiij ox Sec. retery of the Nvy Thorn ) son , and Con grcBsman McKinly , of Ohio.

Logan has decided to attend th national convention , as ho has a good excuse cuso to go , being a inciuborof the nation al committee which has boon called U moot Juno 2. Ho will open headquarter at the Grand Pacific hotel and conduc hia campaign in person. Ho Booms to b confident tnot hia chances of securing th nomination are good , but hia opinion i not shared by many pooplo. Ills effort at present are directed to keeping his for ty.six votes solid until the Blaine inoi break , when , ho thinks , the most of then ll como to him. IDAHO AND IlLAlNn. Mr. Piido , a delegate to the natipna republican convention from Idaho , arrivoc in the city yesterday , and the fact wa" announced in the daily papers. Whoi ho went to breakfast this morning In found a note in his box at the hoto signed by Walker Blaine , who took plea sure in informing Pride that Jamrs G Blaine , hia father , would bo glad to liavo him call nt hia residence at In'a ear liest convenience. Up to thia writing Pride has not subjected himself to tlio magnetic influence which liaa boon so much talked about , and the Blaine shouters will go on saying that the grout historian is takint ? no interest in the can vass , but is indifferent to his prospects. DEMOCUAT1U HOl'EH. Publicly the democratic newspapers are doing all they can to help Blaine to ; ho nomination at Chicago , and are par ticularly anxious to defeat Arthur. Pri vately the editors of these papora are aughing over the ollbrt. The more ) rominont public men of the party dc lot hesitate to say in their confidential conversations with republican friends .hat refusal to nominate Arthur at Chicago cage would bo an act of self-stultification on the part of the republicans. They > ave unanimously indorsed him ; they iavo unanimously commended hia ad- ninistrationho ; has done HITO for reform , han any other president ; his administra- ion is without a single scandal origin ating during his term. Why , then , re use to take a man in favor of whom everything can bo said and against whom there is no syllable , oven in the mouths of political enemies ? When has t grown to bo good policy to say to a lublic man : "Well done , good and faith- ul servant ; now got out ! Wo have no use for you ? " If such action should bo taken at Chicago cage it will bo charged by the democrats hat the republican party refused to nom- nato Arthur because ho was honest , and > ecause ho favored and fostorcd practical eforms , and thcroforo that the profcs- ions of the party are hypocritical and ito ) rotondod love for cconony and reform a raud. Aa these palpable truths dawn nthojdolegatos they are beginning to see loir plain duty. Aa it becomes moro nd moro evident that Arthur ia the trongest possible candidate in Now York lis chances grow brighter. It ia univer- ally conceded that the president has rown in strength very rapidly during the mst fortnight , and if thia continues it may bo found , after all , the doubt and peculations that no convention haa mot n eight years where the candidate to bo ominated waa so well settled upon prior o tlin assembling of the national body as n 1884. _ I/KGJSIjATION'S LOG , THE COMING WEEK IN CONQKCSH. WASHINGTON , May 18. There ia rea- on to believe the house to-morrow will et aaido the Wallaco-MoKinloy contest ed election case and give preference to 10 regular order. In this event the call ill begin with the judiciary committee , vhich will offer a resolution to fix the ay for the consideration of the senate Miikruptcy bill. There is strong possi- nlity that the banking and currency ommitteo may to-morrow determine teak ak a suspension of the rules to pass oith- r the Dingloy or McPherson bills. Dthor committees , if reached , will offer esolutions as follows : Coinage , weights nd measures , to pasa a bill providing for 10 issuance of one , two and five dollar ertificatcs ; public lands , to pasa a bill rovidmg for tlio repeal of the preomp- on and timber culture laws and the om-jatead act ; militia , to pass a bill in- \ rcasing the annual appropriation formili- a , to gCOO.OOO. IJOUHHKIMEK'S DODGE. IT DOESN'T WOKK WITH DEMOCRACY. WASHINGTON , May 18 , It is under- oed that Dorehoimer'a circular has not oceived the support in tariff reform ranks o expected. A very largo number of bornl free traders have refused to sign , not because they wore opposed to do- aring their principles on the tariff quis on , but because they do not approve of 10 proposition to declare upon the action f those who disagree with them. Dor- loiinor , it is said , was making a personal ucstion of the matter , thereby causing onio ill feeling , which is looked upon by | io Randall men with evident Batisfao- ion. An address to the people may bo saued with the signatures of a large num- > ur of reformers , but it will probably not efer particularly to Itandall , but bo con ned to a declaration of principles. SI3NATOII SAJUN. HE WILL HOT CONTINUE CHAIUMAN. ST. PAUL , May 10. Senator Sibiii , who arrived yesterday , saj s : " 1 never xpocted or intended if requested , to ro- a ain the chairmanship of the republican national committee after the Chicago onvontion , and I told the sub-commit- eo so very plainly at the time I waa hoseii.

The secretary tele graphed Commander Batchollor to 119 the naval forces if necessary to prcacrv the peace and protect the consul. 'S ' HOBUY. HI : DEFENDS IT AOAINST. May 18.

Dear Sir : I have rend your letter of the Ifith inst with pleasure and profit , but as you Imvt overlooked a few points , I will , will your permission , endeavor to supply tin omission and in the brief interval allow cd mo from arduous congressional duties I bog leave to inqulto ; First What waa the duty recommended od by the Oliver commission on wire rods barbed wire , etc. , the well-known apodal tica of Oliver Bros , tf Phillips ? Second How docs it occur that under the operation of the Oliver tariff1 you have been _ enabled to purchase two now wire mills , ono blast furnace and n partnerahij in the Hartman mill , while ether mills are content with the old fashioned 10 per cent ? Third How doea it occur that under the benign operations of the Oliver tarif the mills of Oliver Bros. , in Pittsburg , are enabled to run the whole year , while other iron mills are run on an average ol but four months in the year ? Fourth Now that you are operating blast furnaces , will you inform the pub lic whether you hold the same view on raw material as you did when on the tar iff commission , and if not , why not ? Fifth Will you kindly inform an anx ious public how many of your § 1.15 per day employes enjoy the benefits of the Oliver tariff ? I would suggest that so far as wire roads , barbed wire , etc. , are concerned , that the Oliver tariff report might bo appropriately termed "a bill for the relief of Oliver Broa. & Phillips.
