Notwithstand ding the intense heat yes
terday the friends OF the candidates
worked hard, and you could not meet a
man at night who did not feel that his
favorite had gained immensely during
the day.
The announcement Of the illness OF Mr..
Blaine for while diverted work from
its regular channel and nothing could be
heard but inquiries for and comments
upon the latest bulletin from Washing
ton.
At the Burnet House Senator John A.
Logan sat with cravat, collar and coat
off, with the American Minister to Chill
on one side, and another Government
officer on the other, preparing tor the
conflict and arranging to give the re-
mainder of the delegates full
on their arrival this morning. One after
another of the trusted followers OF the

and permitted to depart.
Next to the Illinois headquarters Is
that of Kentucky. The rooms Of this del
sgation are beautifully decorated with
flags, and a polite colored youth stands
at the door and hands every visitor an
appeal of the Bristow Clubs for "Bris-
tow and Reform" Tue rooms are con-
stantly thronged with the admirers OF
MIR. Brstow, but there is no evidence OF
real business. John A. Logan ana his
| two official friends in one corner OF their
| room were getting IN a dozen times as
much work as the army OF business men,
merchants, farmers and unprofessional
politicians that thr0nged the Kentucky
headquarters.
| Senators Hamlln and John A. Logan

paralysis. Neither motion, sensation
nor consciousness impaired. Tho en-
tire group OF symptoms Indicate early

Col. Harlan says he Is in favor OF Nor
ton, but is afraid OF CoDkling. The lat
ter has the most money aud the best
music.
Mr. Orth, OF Indiana, is making him
self at home with the Blame men, where

1t is not true as has been stated that

tue whole delegation will gladly support
MIR. Washburne alter complying with
their instructions.

lorm Of black coats, white silk hats and

splendid brass band. They will march at
once TO the Burnet House.
| The slate for organization still seems
to stand for Temporary Chairman, Pome-
roy, OF New York, and for Permanent
Chairman, General Harlan, of Kentucky.
1t is liable to be changed, especially as
to Permanent Chairman.
Mr.. Frye, of Maine, emphatically de-
nies the report that Mr.. Haze said Maine
would go Tor Hayes as "A second choice.
Mr.. Frye says Maine has no second
