Special Dispatch to TUB BHB.
CHICAGO , May 29. The first largo ar
rival of politicians and delegates tj tlu
republican convention waa chronicled
ibis morning. They came in in such
numoers as to settle the question of the
various leaders to bo on the ground at the
earliest possible moment. Th lirst mnn
to reach hero thia morning waa James D.
"Warner , chairman of the atato republi
can committee uf Now York , and ono ol
y President Arthur's atauncheitt and most
influential advocates in New Yoik.
Frank Hattoa followed i losuly upon him ,
Bolidifjiug thi ) Arthur advance guard.
BLAIXB'H BOOMERS
Before Mr. Warner und Mr. Hattoi
with their friends had been well seated al
the Grand Paoilic , Chas. Emery Smith
brought up the end line of the Blame
boom , which brought Stephen B. Elkim
hero on yesterday. Smith was accom
panied by ex-cl istrict attorney Corkhill.
VIliaiN/A's DOUBLE.
W. H. Pliti3nuts , a bright looking col
ored man , who ia the forerunner of the
Mahono delegation from Virginia , h
around trying to impress upon every <
body that Mahnno and his delegation
should Lo admitted and that Dezondorl
should bo left out in the cold. The
probability is that the national committee
will recommend that both delegations be
admitted to the convention with hulf c
vote each. Anyway that Booms to be the
sentiment of the mqmbera of the national
commuteo who are now hero. Of course
the convention will have to ratify the
action of the committee or unseat ouo ol
the delegations.
JAME3 D. WAUNEK ,
of BufTtlo , Now York , chairman of the
Republican .itato committee , was first ii
list of to-day's arrivals. Ho reached hen
at 8 o'clock , and was accompanied b ]
Titus Shnard , a delegate from the Twen
ty fourth Now York district ; ox-Con
gresaman James S , Smart , Uhua. A
( Joule ) , A. G. Warren , of the Buffih
Commercial , and Iaa o Bromley. "Wha' '
news do you bring from Now York" th <
chairman was asked. Ho smiled genial
ly and replied with great cheerfulness
"I regard Arthur's chances as better nov
as they over were before. "
"How many votes will hohavofron
Now York t te ? "
"Ho will liavothirry-sir or thirty-sovoi
votes on the first ballot and
HE WILL UB NOUINATK3
if nominated at all , by the third ballot. '
I * there any doubt about his nomina
'It would bo sheer" foolishness , " Mr
Warner replied , "to say that ho is abao
lutely certain of a nomination. There i
an indulimtonesB about every man'
chances which only the balloting wil
"Bottle. Nov there is no doubt o
Arthur's overwhelming popularity. Thi
very boat and foremost business mon o
Now York attested their faith in hi
honesty , stability , and eminent qualifica
tion for the otticj of president by the !
monster mass meeting in New York
Men of their standing would not pu
themselves on record without lint weigh
ing the consequences likely to occu
rom the announcement of their preference
once ; Since the voice of the people i
cuppoood to bo omnipotent in the polic ;
of the country , and since the voice of the
people is . '
UNMISTAKABLY FOtl AUTHUlt ,
the republican convention would bo un
doubtedly gratifying to the public sontl
mont if it nominated him. Possibly the
politicians may succeed in defeating this
plainly cxpreascel wish , but wo are here
to see it executed if possible and wo wil !
do so if wo can. "
Mr. 0. G. Warren , who was in the
room ; railed attention to the f > ct thai
Chairman Warren was ono of the W05 ii
the convontinn of 1880. This provoked t
question directed to Chairman Warren ,
whether ho and the other Arthur met :
would stick to their favorite as the Gram
mon did to the ex-president.
' Wo are hero to stay , " said
with a significant look , "and wo will soi
that there are no backsliders. "
NEW YOUK.
As rcuard Arthur's allotted inability te
carry Now York , arron was askeu ,
What of that :
Placing his hand impressively on the
roportor'a knee , Mr. Wurren snid , "Icai :
toll you this , Arthur was nominated foi
vice president with case ; wo carried
Now York with almost as much ease lu
wo iiotuintttod Arthur ; it was only because
cause Arthur was the second name or
the ticket , I believe as earnestly as I

HONE TO THU DEMOCRATS.
If the republicans can carry Now Yorl
city and Kings county they have practi
cally th itt < y to success in the state. J
saw a man before 1 loft Butlalo who is
pronounced for Blaine , and ho acknowl <
edged that if there was any question
about Now York Arthur could certmnlj
carry Now York city and Kinca count )
with OIV80. Mr. Warner said that the
Now Yark delegates would begin to come
in to-morrow.
A 11LAIKB AND LOOAN COMDINATION.
It is reported that n combination hat
boon formed between certain Blaine and
Logan people , by which a number of the
latter have agreed with ft like number ol
the former that they will support Blainc
on the first three ballots , on condition
that an equal number of Blaine people
shall go with them to Logan at thoend _ ol
that time if Blaine is not nominated ,
The L"gan men believe that by this plan
they cau form the nucleus of a stampede
to Logan.

ropreaont GOO people of Virgin ! i ; thai
one of its leaders was a well-known Democrat
ocrat , and that the Mahono dplogntioi
would go ioto the convention solid or noi
at all. This declaration waa called out bj
the idea of Senator Clayton , that the
committee or credentials would probablj
recommend the admission of both dole
gxttons , allowing half-a-voto to each. II
seems evident that
THE BLAINE AND LOO AN MEN
will argue with the southern delegate !
that they ought to listen to the talk o
the Blaine men ot the republican state :
and not assott their own choice , because
the southern republican will give iu
electoral votes ; but the southern mar
seem capable of remembering the forcx
bill is the reason why there are no republican
publican electoral votes from the south
and that the passugo of that bill is duo t <
the fact that Blaine , when speaker o
the house , left his chair to assist tin
democrats in the passage of the bill.
OEOKOi ! COUEIIILL ,
of Washington , who caused the Imnginj
of Guiteau , got in to-day , llo says be i
for Blaine first , but is really hero for th
purpose of feeling the way for his fathei
in-lavr Juduo Miller of Iowa. Th
backets of Blaine and of Lngaii thus fa
have been doing all the talking , whil
the Arthur men have been doing a grea
dobl ( f work quietly. Ono of the Blaim
boomers expressed surprise at the feelin
for Arthur among the Illinois delegates
and finally admitted that when Log.i
hud been complimented , many of thei
would go to the president.

THK NKLO.Nl ) DAY.
INIIUNAVOU.S , 1ml , May 2 ! ) . The
National greenback convention reas
sembled at lOo'elock , General Weaver
presiding. The committee on resolutions
was not yet roaJy to report , and tlio entire -
tire forenoon session was taken up in
brief addresses by mctnbiirs of the con
vention. The platform commiftro sent
word to the presiding ollinors that they
would not bo ready to report
before half past two or tliroo
o'clock and at a quarter before
twelve the convention adjourned until 2
o'clock. It is understood tlio committees
AUK AT I-lonnilllEADM
over the plank on the tariff
and a good deal of drbato is expect
ed in the convention. To prevent much
time being consumed speeches have been
limited to live minutes , no delegate to
speak twice until all have spoken , The
committee has boon appointed to wait on
Gleo. W. Julian and invite him to address
Lho convention. There is some talk of
A HOLT
over Butler's nomination , but it is
not likely to amount to much. Craudall
ays ho don't like Duller , but if the con
vention can afford to commit the party to
such a blunder , ho can and ho will stand
by the same.
PASSING TIME.
The convention ro-aesomblcd pursuant
to adjournment. The committee on reso
lutions not being ready to report , the in
tervening time was occupied in the adop
tion of motions of thanks , including ono

wna attentively listened to , occasionally
interrupted by applause. Blancluud's
report mot with anenthusiistio reception ,
its author receiving many congratulations
on his stand in favor of
TEMPEIIANCK AND WOMEN SUrPllAOK.
Jonua'd report differed from the ma
jority report , in demanding that while
congresu nlmll issue full legal tender notes ,
they shall bj used in the payment of gov
ernment debts , constructing public im
provements to reduce the transportation
thurgos , completing public buildings , the
building of u navy und for such other
purpoioa. As congress is now asked to
uppiopriato money until thu surplus la
bor of the country is employed , a profit
able homo market for the produce of
American farms and workshops created ,
and business done on a cash basis. Jonce
did not insist on his views and there was
no split on the platform.
TUB MAJORITY ItKI'OUT
was read by Norton , chairman of the
committee. It contained a lengthy pre
amble , setting forth the objects of the
greenback party and what it has accom
plished , saying Congress had repealed
