All Uncertainty at Chicago.
CiniACio , Juno ' 'I. [ Special Telegram to
Tut : Br.n.J Deafened cars and strained
nerves hnvo to-day received a welcome rest.
The city seemn calm and quiet after the
turmoil and uproar of the past week. No
discordant bands clash nnd bray In the
streets ; no processions or howling mobs ,
fray with ribbons and bright with transpar
encies , parade through the hotel corridors ,
shrieking their favorites names. If there Is
not a holy pence brooding over Chicago there
Is nt least an approach to quiet , which by
comparison seems
A nuAvnvAiin OAI.M.
A hundred and fifty thousand visitors ,
with aching heads and empty pockets , have
reached their homes and nro wondering what
it has all been atiout , nnd whore in creation
their money has gone. Eight hundred nnd
thirty worn out delegates are still here ,
most of them .distrusted with the protracted
convention , and many anticipating with horror
ror the prc&bntntlon of their hotel bills when
the great body finally adjourns. But Chicago
cage Is so large a city that the few thou
sands of strangorn that remain over Sunday
make no visible impression on her entertain
ing capacity.
It was quite 11 o'clock bcforo
political activity began to manifest
itself , and delegates with tooth picks
In their mouths emerged in any considerable
numbers from the breakfast rooms. The
ono question asked was : "How shall Blaino'n
nomination bo prevented ? " and echo , from
a score of delegation headquarters an
swered , "Howf" Allison's friends had re
newed hope until it was announced that Do-
pew would have no granger state candidate.
Grcsbam'f ) friends reported accessions from
Pennsylvania , which temporalily cheered
them. The McKlnloy movement seemed the
most prominent , but his adherents , after
working hard , were unable to sec clear day
light , although they professed to be nblo to
discern glimmerings of the dawn. Every
delegation seemed to have Blaine men who
could see no hope in any combination against
the favorite. The Blalno leaders professed
themselves willing to give any other candi
date every possible chance to test his
btreivth , as they did with Sherman and
Harrison and were ready to do with Allison
last night ; but they smilingly assorted that
they fcaied the only effect would bo to
unduly ptotract the session. There was no
doubt that

again by the friends of other candidates
to cut the gordian knot of tlio con
vention tangle , ami ns little doubt
that the traveler in Scotland had declined to
bo caught in a mouse trap by a reply. Mean
while telegrams came Into various delega
tions asking them to nominate Blait.o and
como homo. Chalrmnn Greene of the Nebraska
%
braska delegation received several. Moro
onmo fiom Ohio , Pennsylvania , California ,
Maine , New York and Now Jersey. Whether
by preconcerted arrangement or not , they
had their effect. '
'
By noon reports began to como in from
various headquarters. A private conferences
had teen held at the Hieholicu , at which
Senators Fnrwoll and Quay , ex-Governor
Foster , W. II. Hoborlsun , ox-Senator Scwell ,
Crocker of California and Robinson of In
diana were present , to canvass tlio situation
nnd ngicc upon u candidate. Farwell an
nounced that tliiity-llvo of the Illinois dele
gation would novcr throw their votes to
Hluinc. Sewcll , representing the btrong
Blaine state of New Jersey , pledged an open
protest of his btato against Blame's nomina
tion. The vote when taken stood : MeKm-
ley 7 , Bhiino 2 ; and.for second choice , Blaine
( land AlgerJJ. The newsbprend rapidly and
put now life in the nntl-Blaino men , but
thcro was a counter current
when the Sherman men announced
that the senator had telegraphed from
Washington that ho demanded the solid vote
of Ohio until somu other candidate was nomi
nated. Friends of Senator Allison who had
grown weak in the back plucked up courage.
ClarUbon , who was yesterday prepared to
throw his vote to Blnino , assumed new im
portance. The Alger men sot themselves to
work to reconstruct their shattered boom ,
nnd succeeded in fishing several dark colored
logs out of Lake Michigan ,
Till : MTU U ION CIIAXOKI )
promptly nnd the certainty of Blaino's
nomination on the first ballot to-morrow
failed slowly away. Mr. William Walter
PhelpH was indignant. Ho said :
"This entire Blnino hurrah is an outrage
nnd a burious reflection on James G. Blaine ,
1 toll you Mr. Blaine will not accept if nomi
nated. I know wheieot I speak. But ho
will not bo nominated. His true friends will
tsco to it that his liunor Is not Impugned by
men who don't' know his inflexible decision.
New Jersey will not vote for him nnd Now
Jersey is a djeJ-in-Uie-wool Blaine state
Lot llio hurrah go on. It cannot win. \\n
shall nominate n good clean republican from
the west Mr. Blaine will assist with all his
strength In the canvas , but. not as the presi
dential nominee. "
Mr. Phelps was asked why ho did not telegraph -
graph Mr. Hlaiim the situation.
"Hocauhe it would done good , " ho replied.
"Mr. Blalno would aiuwcr declining under
nny contingency to accept , but his decllua-
tiou would not bo accepted by men who have
ulready rolusod to believe two square open
und above board refusals. "
I asked another very near and strong
friend of Mr. Hlnlno to-night how many votes
the Ulalniacs could muster.
"Perhaps three hundru.l , " ho answered ,
"but not enough to nominate him , and if five
hundred answered the call it would make no
difference. Emmons Hlaino told mo this
morning that the attempt to force his father's
nomination was an insult and n shameful
reiieetlon upon his honor. So think his
father's personal friends and I among them.
The stampede of last nlght-wmo near carry

"There Is not a word of truth In It. Son

icads , nnd that if ho Is tbo convention will
Hive to nominate some ono else afterwards ,
for ho will not accept , and that the situation
now Is little changed from what it was after
the Harrison boom collapsed. "
Notwithstanding such nss-'iranccs , .tho
friends of candidates other than Blalno are
bitterly accusing tno Plumed Knights of bud
faith.
Tin : iu.AiNiA.t3
listen calmly to the uproar. "What have
wo done , " they ask , "to warrant nny such
language ! " "So far as Mr. Blalno can act , "
said one of his leading boomers , "ho Is not
before the convention. His declination was
made with deliberation nud sincerity , and
was intended to bo Jlnul. I know this abso
lutely. But there Is another side of the
question. While Blalno Is not a candidate
and don't want the nomination , u very largo
number of the republican voters throughout
the country Insist that he shall bo n candi
date und shall again carry their standard In
n national campaign. You sec this In the
convention nnd on the street when people
congregate In numbers , and the fact that
these delegates cannot concentrate upon any
one of the pronounced candidates gives this
statement point and illustration , and therein
Is the danger that threatened to frustrate the
desire of these who want lilnlno nominated ,
In their enthusiasm nnd zeal these who would
declare and vote for Blaine in the convention
did not stop to think of Mr. Blaino's desires
nnd of his relations and duties to the gentle
men who uro competing for the nomination.
If Blalno had been sprung on this convention
and his nomination came from n stampede it
would bo peremptorily declined bcforo the
echoes of the reluctant cheers could pass be
yond the walls of the auditorium. A full
knowledge of Mr. Blujno's feelings in this
respect has Induced his intimate friends hero
tlio mon who really most dcsiro to secure
hia nomination to labor with the California
people and others to prevent Blaino's name
from being formally presented , and
to frustrate any effort intended to
push him before the convention.
Our labors hnvo bean directed to prevent ,
not to womoto Blaino's nomination. Wo
had great trouble with the California people ,
nnd ouly succeeded in persuading them to
cease their efforts by the assurance that they
would defeat their purpose by compelling
Blaiuo to refuse u nomination ho had already
dccl'ncd and vvliiuU ho could not with honor
accent. From this explanation you will un
derstand Blaino's position and appreciate the
difficulties surrounding his most intimate
Irieiids. Briclly , Blaine don't want to bo a
candidate. We want to force him to b3-
comc such and this can be done only by hav
ing tlio convention , through its own free , un
trammelled action , call upon him to take the
leadership after it has been demonstrated by
satisfactory tests that no other man can be
selected. Blaine cannot bo nominated and
called with the voice of supplication and in a
tone of unanimity. It cannot bo forced.Ve
would like to see it accomplished and what
ever can be prudently done to bring1 it about
is the aim of Blaine's friends. Oar efforts
just now are to convince competing candi
dates what is tlio actual sentiment of tbo
convention. "
From personal knowledge and ob
servation I can state that the
Bl.iino men have been laboring to
prevent the mention of his nanio and preclude -
cludo any demonstration in the convention
in his favor. In reply to questions these
men assured me they wore not m communi
cation with Blaine , that he had no knowledge
of their movements and that they wore pre
vented from comtnunic.itiug with him by the
fear that he would write something that
would ofToetually exclude any mention of his
name by the convention under any circum
stances whatever. I met a member of the
Indiana delegation about 7 o'clock this even
ing in the Grand Pacific hotel.
"What is the feeling in the Indiana dele
gallon ! " 1 asked.
"Still in favor of sticking to Harrison , " he
answered , "but with a growing sentiment
towards Gresbnm if wo can make him. F.x-
Governor Porter is working hard to revive
the Groham boom nnl to swing our men in
line if it can be done. "
The Alsrer mon lost some of their confi
dence last night , and were hustling around to
catch on the tail of the Blaine ticket , but this
afternoon they are still hard at work for tlioir
candidate and claim that they will show in
creased strength on to-morrow morning's bal
lot. Three of the Nebraska delegates declare
that they will not vote for Blaine whatever
emergency may arise.
Minxiairr Lookout for another day of
balloting. There is a slim chance fiom pjins
cut appearances for the selection of n c.u/ai-
date within the next twenty-four hours ,
unless the political wind suddenly veers.
The viuio still points uwny from Washington
ut ono moment , and the next whirls madly to
all points of the compass , Just at present it
appears to bo veering around once moro
toward Mansfield , O. There are indications
of u revival of

Last night there was u panic among the
Sherman forces , caused by the feeling for
Mcliiuloy and tlio expressed determination
of Governor Fonikcr to join the Blaine
foiccs bhould Ohio break for McKinley
or any candidate ; other than Sherman.
To-night the Ohio delegation 1ms been
lumnonUud and solidified and are
determined to make unollior etVoit for tlioir
candidate. Forakcr has not been at the
Sherman iKudquarUirs for several days.
This morning ho called and hold a conference
enco witli Dologates-at largo Bultorworth ,
Foster and McKlnloy. At iU conclusion
Forakor called on the other delegates favor-
bio to Sherman und urge 1 them to adhere to
tlioir candidate. An interview with Slier
man , lulogruphod from Washington ami pub
lished in this morning's Times , materially
strengthened , that gentleman and exploded
the reports that ho win prepared to with
draw. His positive declaration that ho will
not pull out under any circumstances settles
the position of the Ohio delegation , and will ,
so the candidate * say , keep them for tlioir
cundldato to the lust.
The anti-Iilalno men , becoming alarmed
over the probable success of the Hluinmcs ,
have about decided to accept any of the can
didates presented who can conccntrato
enough strength to break a projected doul- ;
locit. Some of thcso would prefer another
candidate to Sherman , but , recognizing that'
the disintegration of the Sherman forces
would tend to Bhiiuo'b nomiiiutioir , a number
of prominent leaders have agreed to vote for
the Ohio candidate wlituevci it becomes nee-
c sar.v to do so to defeat Blame. These men
have therefore to-day asked the Sherman
managers to hold their forces together until
it can be settled whether n concentration
cannot bo made that will ba satisfactory to

mnu inanajfjrsi that they will unite with them

Bmiux , Juno 21. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Hue. ] German
financiers and the great mass of well in
formed Germans seem -laliovo ) ICntscr
William Is neither rash nor war-loving ,
otherwise the sturdlncss of the stock market
would bo Incomprehensible. All the stocks ,
Hussian , Austrian , etc. , which fluctuated so
violently during the last year of the old
kaiser's lifo nro still controlled In a largo
measure by German quotations. These
stocks nro widely enough scattered through
Germany to insure a panic In them if any ap
preciable part of his subjects suspected tbo
emperor of desiring war. Yet thcro is no
suspicion of a panic nor of any marked
change from the period of steadiness whleti
sdcms to have set in.
In reference to the emperor's proclamation
that ho will make on Monday in the rcich-
sttig , I am able to give you the views of
some of the foremost men in Berlin political
and financial circles with whom I have
spoken. They have boon assured that It will
bo of the most pacific character , laying
special stress on the fact that the foreign
relations of Germany will bo continued ex
actly In the same spirit as under William I.
and the Emperor Frederick. The Imperial
proclamation will bo most carefully guarded
and will not bo printed in the government
printing olllco until about four hours after
the emperor pronounces it In the releasing.
If those with whom 1 have spoken arc right ,
und they should know , and this peaceful
message is believed , there will bo a general
seeking after' needed vacations by
the anxious politicians , business men
and journalists , who * have not dared
to go away until the future
was assured , at least for the immediate
present politically and socially. Every
body will get away from hero and there will
be little or no gossip to send you.
Regarding the rumors circulated concern
ing the kaiser's disposition and intentions ,
an eminent political authority said to mo :
"Most of these rumors were started or
greatly exaggerated by the radical press ,
which moro than anything else has always
feared the reign of another sucli firmly but
gently conservative klnjj as was the Into
ICaiser William. Of late , too , the radicals
have used every effort to prevent the late
emperor's abdication. Among these means
have been all kinds of stories about the
present emperor. Unfortunately the foreign
press quotes almost entirely from the sensa
tional opposition papers. As a result , the
wilder llio story the more certain it is to be
widely quoted , hence the world at largo out
side of Germany , lacking other information ,
has agreed to call the emperor a hot headed
warrior.
"In German politics this misrepresentation
must prove a great advantage to the young
kaiser. Ho has boon called bad names until
the pcoplo are ready to pardon any small
errors merely because Ihey feared greater
ones. Now lis proclamations prove him a
loyal son and , so fur ns words go , a wise
ruler. It will bo quickly seen that any party
willing in thu past to endanger the empire by
exciting the suspicions of other nations
against its future ruler is unworthy of con
fidence. Out of party animosity will corno ,
therefore , a national party with thoompcror
for its leader.
"Asido from an unprovoked attack on user
or our allies , there is only one risk of a Gor
man war. If tlio minor German sovereigns
should show themselves distrustful or jeal-
ons of their young kaiser ; if , through sus
picion or jealousy , nny attempt is made to in
fringe the imperial perogalivcs , then the
kaiser might choose to rally all
Germany around him for a vic
torious foreign war. The young
kaiser has probably no overwhelming desire
for the old imperial title "Increaser of the
Empire , " but it is quito certain that without
a struggle ho 'will never yield any power
grunted his ancestors. Tlio risk , though ,
needs scarcely bo considered for the Gorman
people are for the empire , oven if thereby
against ono or all the potty kingdoms. Tlio
address from Prussia's old enemy , the Saxon
pcoplo , proves this.
"Finally the key-note of the new admin
istration as shown by Die Post's official
article is opposition to all wars made by or
against Germany or its allies. When an
emperor scarcely on his throne goes so far as
to ndviso France where they may safely
strike , It is hardly fair to accuse him of a
desirn to make war himself. How was this
done * Oh , you did not notice the ending
of thu Post's article. Truly then , thu world
offers wide fields oulsldo a war with Ger
many for French ambitions and French
energies and fluids on which Franco will
meet no German jealousy. No , I did
not say I meant England. That idea
occurs to iou naturally because England is
the nearest and most defenseless of th fields
in which Franco can regain the solf-respect
she lost in lt > 7U. "
Among the odds and cndi of notvs afloat Is
a rumor that Kaiser William had decided to
showing his respect for his mother's abilities
by conferring upon her such vlco regal place
as that now held in Brunswick by Prince
Albert , of Prussia , Where and what is not
stated , but the reasons for this are said to bo ,
among other things , the desire to prove thut
ho iBjnot nnd has not been her opponent during
his father's and grandfather's reign nnd xj
so accustom the empress mother to practice
government , that In the event oi n regency
she may bo able to fill the imortunt place
which in any regency she must inevitably
tuke. If m any degrcq true , this would bo
totally at variance with nil Prussian customs
but might bo politically most wise as it
would attach to thu kaiser most of those rad
icals who are now moro loyal to the empress
mother than to her son.
I am able to state that the emperor will
continue on the same line ns his two prede
cessors , leaving foreign affairs almost entirely
in tha hands of Bismarck , and if Bismarck
gets sick then in those of "Littlo Bismarck , "
'so that no uneasiness us to tho.disturbance
Of peace is felt und thu friends already be
come firmer. There is no moro danger of
war now than under old William.
As to homa uTairs ( young William , although
ho has given no actual vroof ns- jot of it , is

Brul.is- , Juno 24. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Br.E. ] William II. Is
already sj okcn of as the "Schlrmcr dcs Frlo-
dens" Guardian of Peace and I am enabled
to assure you that the conviction not only of
those behind the scenes but also of the Prus
sian people in general Is that the chances of
a European war are the same to-day as they
were under William I. On Monday th % new
emperor makes his debut before the German
rclchstag. The address that , ho will pro
nounce on that occasion will mark n white
day In the annals of Germany. The emperor ,
after a long conversation on Wednesday
with Prince Bismarck , nt Potsdam , wont
to his library in the Marmot palace and
wrote with his own hand a rough
draft of tlia address that ho Intends
to make on Monday. This draft of the ad
dress covers eight pages of closely written
letter paper. It will bo submitted to Prince
Bismarck for any suggestions or amend
*
ments.
Though I am , of course , Ignorant of Its en
tire contents , I mil In a position to state that
Its two most Important features will bo :
First , that great emphasis will bo laid upon
the fact that the most perfect accord exists
between the emperor nnd his chancellor ,
who will be spoken of In terms almost bor
dering on admiration , nnd second , that ns re
gards the policy of peace "Inaugurated by
my grandfather and continued by my father ,
t will be maintained in Its fullest extent. "
The address , It is believed , will bo one of the
most reassuring and peaceful messages ever
uttered by a Hohenzollern prince. It Is
firmly believed in official circles hero that n
complete understanding has been arrived at
with Uussia and it Is probable that in
the course of the present summer n
mooting will take place between the
German emperor , the czar nnd the emperor
of Austria. The Berlin bourse Is a pretty
good barometer and for three days the Rus
sian , German and Austrian bonds have been
steadily rising. Ilussltm railroad stocks
have advanced from 1 to 8 points.
Austrinns have risen 1 nnd Germans 1J .
The weather continues hot and damp and
the mosquitoes and gnats are beginning to bo
unbearable. Prince Uismarck will bolt fiom
Berlin as soon as possible after the meeting
of the reichstag. Ho is by no means in good
health nt present. The rheumatism Titid
neuralgia has taken possession of his logs
again and it is almost impossible for him to

A Conservative Wrangle.
tfopi/rff/M / l8 < t by James tfontnn Hcnncfl.1
Loxnox , Juno 34. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to TIIK Bir.l : There cannot
bo much doubt now ns to how the English
parties stand. The conservative chiefs have
unwisely advertised to the world the serious
differences which exist in their ranks. Of
course the whole truth has not como out ,
but enough is known to convince everybody
that the followers are discontented and the
leaders Irritable. The only question a year
ngo was , Can you keep fast hold of the
liberal unionists ! Now this party may well
turn to Salisbury nnd Smith nnd ask , Are
you quite sure of the conservatives ! It is
more than ever necessary to receive with
suspicion the version of nflnlrs which Is dally
put forward by most of the London news
papers. . Some of them cherish a
deadly animosity towards Mr.
Gladstone , others are influenced
by social considerations. You remember
what Disraeli said about the Times and
gilded saloons. All are dependent upon the
ministry for early tips and they speak on
party matters as the heads of the party di
rect them. Now they are saying that the
meeting last Thursday has improved the
feeling of ttio conservatives towards tlioir
leaders. The talk of the house and the lob
bies is very different. The grumbling at the
local government bill goes on harder than
ever. Salisbury's lecture has only created a
feeling of soreness among the country par-
tics. As for the left wing it is satisfied be
cause it has made good its position and
knows that it is bound to win. After all it
only desires to inform the public service of
the cessation of jobbery and the Honest ex
penditure of the public funds. This may
sound rather radical to snmo cars but it" is
not treasonable. A man could not bo'sent ' to
prison for holding such views even in Ire
land.
These and other elements of discord being
In existence , what is the best course open to
the Gladstonians ! It is to stand by and let
the dissensions do their work. That seems
quito plain but the leaders do not think so
They deem the moment favorable for mak
ing a general attack on the conservative
camp. They choose a question which en
ables Mr. Smith once more to sound the
rallying cry of "The union in danger. " Noth
ing else would have induced the conserva
tives to close up their ranks and put aside
the minor differences. Moro than once dur
ing the last two years Mr. Gladstone has re
united the tory paity , certainly without in
tending , perhaps without suspecting it. Ho
has now made another tactical mistake. He
should have left llio tories to go on wrangl-
'Ing , holding meetings supposed to bo
private , but of which garbled nnd deltibivo
reports are promptly dispatched to
the newspapers , reports eminently favorable
to the ministry and much tne reverse towards
everybody else. This has been permitted to
continue with ns liltlo interference as possi
ble from outsiders , but Gladstone came to a
different conclusion and now the unionist
forces will rally to the rescue of the per
plexed and diblicartened ministry. This is
very line , no doubt , but it is not the wny to
win battles. Let the old political hands
among your readers judge for themselves.
The case of Mr , Dillon and the general ad
ministration coercion act , such is the theme
for discussion on Monday. The defeat of
Morloy's motion is certain and inevitable but
of course there are other considerations.
The Irish members need u field day now and
then to keep them in spirits. Something , too ,
must bo done to influence the 'courso
of public opinion. My own belief is
that the cubtomnry loaction against
the policy of coercion is setting in ronso-
ficquently it is a good time to bring forward
the c iso of Mr. Dillon , who is now person
ally well known to a largo number of Eng
lish eonhlituencics and whoso imprisonment
for six months will undoubtedly proJuco a
s-ensation. The cold and heartle.ss tone of
Balfour's answer on Friday about Mr.
Dillon , also about the eviction of the dying
man , will produce a powerful effect upon
the publie mind. The discussion itself may
therefore bo useful to the Glndstonmns in
the country but the effect of a severe defeat
in parliament is always discouraging. Twice
in ono week the government were beaten
nnd what was the result * A meeting was
called in haute , tlio panic-stricken lenders
reproaching their followers , recriminations
bandied about from ono to another , nnd
tlio great pirty driven to proclaim
its embarrassment to the world. If defeat
does this for a powerful m'nistry ' so
much more mischievous must bo its consequences
quences on a minority which has teen wan
dering in the dcbort of opposition for two
long years. Dissontions are rife among this
party also/ Exclusion from olllco always
provokes unpleasant comments on the tactics
of the leaders. Not every man who servoH
in the Gladbtonian ranks is a friend at heart
to Mr. Gladstone , Como what may , the debate -
bate will take pluco ,
Tlo | ministry played n sharp move In fix
ing the dates for Monday. As little time is
left for preparation I am afraid observance-
of Sunday will not bo followed by the speak
ers on the other sldo. Morley opens the ball ,
nnd it was. plain to all observers that when
the ministry named Monday he was a good
deal taken aback , but the opposition gave
notice of their intention to demand a day and
they could Bcaively refuse to t nko the fit ht that
came. There nro many grave legal points in
which the Gladstonians will do well to look
into witli great euro. Mr. Dillon has been
sent to jail on the charge of criminal con
spiracy and the law on that point Is capable
of n wide and generous interpretation , us the
recent decision in the Dublin com I
of the exchequer sufficiently shows. If
Mr. Dillon's case hafl been taken before -
„
fore that court might not that convktion
been quashed as thut of Barry and two others
was hibt week I It seems to hay the least highly
probable all legal forms of redress should bo
tried bcforo action is Utknn In the house of
commons. This is a point which will unques
tionably bo raised on Monday , and if the
Glndstoniuns have not , a good answer to it
they will not Improve their own jxibltfrm or
Mr. Dillon's.

WAWIUXCITOX. n. C. , Junes
The prominent presidential aspirant * lo
cated at present In Washington .surprised
everybody nround the eapitol by appearing
there bright and early this morning. They
were accompanied by Senator Don Cameron ,
of Pennsylvania. This fact in Itself was ml-
ditlonal cause for comment , for the reason
that until yesterday afternoon the Pennsyl
vania senator has not been trusted by Al
lison or Sherman. Lnte yesterday afternoon
they sent for Don nnd have beqjj In confer
ence with him moro or less ever since. It
was also at 10 o'clock this morning that
Sherman nnd Allison , neojiupanlcd by Sena
tors Cameron and Huwloy , wont up to the
olllco of the secretary of the semite , where
the special run for their accommodation Is lo-
located. For three hours mid n half con
tinuously they conversed with their Chicago
managers. Both Sherman und Allison seem
to thoroughly understand cach'oUier and are
working jointly. It Is said that Mr. Sher
man would much prefer to have Uhilno re
ceive the nomination than have It go to Mc
Klnloy or nny other Ohio man. If Blnino
is to bo the choice they want the ticket
to bo Blaine nnd Harrison. It was given out
at the capitol this afternoon that Elkius
& Co. control 1513 votes in the convention
which they can command on any ballot that
they want for Blaluc. The only reason , It Is
said , that they have not done it before was
that they believed it policy to give the other
aspirants all the string and time that they
wanted before running their locomotive over
Ilium. Thu wanted them to ict out of tlio
way and not remain on the track and bo
crushed to death by Blaino. Thcro is u sus
picion among the Irk-nds of the new leaders
In the republican party that the old wheel-
horses havn combined to crush out the now
material I such as Qua ) mul o'ttieis , ami nl-
sist iu the nomination of the innh from
M ! nc. It : a t.iatctl oii good authority that
Allison , Sliermiln und Hawley foil bitter
against Blalno , and that they express them
selves as having been tricked. If Blaine is
made the nominee for llrst place Sherman
will and is doing all that he can to defeat the
selection of an Ohio man for his running'
mate. He was to-day reported to ' bu espe-
{ mlly bitter toward Governor Foraker , nnd
it was said that ho didn't want McKinley
nominated for llrst plnce. In nny confer
ences that have b"un going on to day at Chi-
ciigo the wishes of both the aspirunUt from
Ohio and Iowa hnvo been made known to the
leaders. They remained at the capitol until J
a late hour this moining , when they went
homo to dinner.
To-nicht ono of Mr. Sherman's friends
called upon him at his homo on K street and
they discussed thoouUook. Senator Sherman ,
stated that he did noL want to bu subjected to
any. newspaper Interview and admonished
his friend not to quote him to newspaper
men. I have it , however , that Mr. Sherman
was in a very cheerful mcod nnd exp.-usscn"
himself as not only being in the race but hav
ing a very good chance of success. He said
ho had the fullest confidence in Governor
Foraker and the statement credited to him to
the efTect that the governor would support.
Blaine and leave the Ohio candidate , were .
incorrect ; that Foraker was true to the In
structions given him when chosen a delegate.
Ho said regarding tlio McKinley matter that
the scheme to Hush him upon the convention
to-morrow nguiiist Mr. Blame had all been
fived and that Major McKinlcy's iiumo would -t >
not go before the convention. Mr. Sherman \
intimated that Mr. McKinley did not dcsiro
above all things to bo pluuvu in the attitudu
that General Gurllcid was when nominated
eight years ago. Senator Sherman said that
he could not see that his chances were In
the least diminished by any of the
actions of last week and that ho
had no IntentiniiH of withdrawing
his name , much less of bringing about
the nomination of Mr. Blaine. Ho would'
.not sulfur the withdrawal of his name n.s
long as ho led the other c mdkhites. Ho has )
no idea that Mr. Blame will stampede tlio
convention and does not believe the Plumed
Knight could now be nominated bj acclulim-
niution. lie evidently is of.tlie opinion tlmt
the'convention intends to have another can
didate than Blaine , and ho thinks it is pro-
muturu lo talk auout Mr. Ultimo as a com
promise when only llvo ballots have been
taken and a fair opportunity bus not iet beuji
given to the convention to ugicc upon ono oC
the gentlemen whoso names have boon
placed boluro the convention. Senator Sher
man thought that in order to nominate Hlaino
it would bo necessary for the Harrison and
Algcr forces to go over to him ( Mr. Blalno ) ,
.and also for the Sherman following to go
over , and this hi- does not anticipate , at leant
until many ballots have been token. Bu
cannot see why Harrison , Alger und
Iho other men should bo deserted for
Blaine this early in the work. Sena
tor Sherman spoke moro cordially of
General Harrison than probablj aiii other
eundiduto before the convention. Ho culled
attention to the fuel that Now York , Con
necticut and Nuw.Ioisuy had joined hands
with Indiana in mi effort to nominate the
Hnosier under the imprcsxion that if tlioso
dotibtful btnlen were willing to tike ) um us
their leader that the strong i cpublicun stales j
ought to follow and give him the i.om nation. '
Ho said itnsu very plausible mo vuinvnt
and came near succeeding. Ho intimate. ; ! *
that the combination might yet succeed. Ho
thinks if Harrison is nominated the second
place will bo filled by Morton or I'hilpb ,
Tlio friends in Washington of Hhennatf ,
Allison und Harrison are very bittur in their
comments upon the action of the men who
forced tlio recess yesterday and Friday with
out iuithcr balloting. The ) bay the Blnino
men are too eager to sec uro the nomination
of their candidate ; that whllo they uro pro
claiming Unit tlioy don't want In see. Blalna
nominated until there has been given a good
and fair chnnco to nominate ono of themen. .
now before the convention , they are at tha
bamo time conniving lo have thu convention
take u jecess over.vtimeitmuets and to avoid
ballots , fearing that the choice will ba
Hindu from one of the candidates named.
In their opinion thu chances of Hiicrens for
Mr HJamo will bo very Kieally impairud if
ho is nominated before there hnvo been many
moro ballots taken. The republicans iu
Washington lire sure of one thing In connec
tion with the Chicago convention , and that
Is that Senator ingulls' letter published In
thu Chicago Now * yesterday was very in
discreet and will bring to him u great deal ,
of embarrassment.
A great dual was said in Washington to
day about uu cditoiial in this morning's
Now York Trib u.o on tlio situation at Chi
cago. It Rays tout the Blnino people hava
been tr.ving to get the delegates to consoli
