WILL BLAINE BE NOMINATED

CANDIDATE FOR VICE-PRISIDENT.
CHICAGO June 3-The Grant men insist tonight
that it is their purpose to stand firmly by
Grant. This is true not only of those who
talk only for effect but of those who give their
honest views. They say that they have only one
candidate that they mean to put HIM IN the ilrlh
and keep him there, without regard to con-
sequences.
Senator Conklng is said to have sounded
tho key note of this policy in the eau
cusScs last night. About 90 or $50
delegates are stated to have been present. MIR.
Conkling tod them that this fight was
to be decided by endurancc that the
weaker always came tho stronger; that
it was simply n question who had tine must
spine. lTo then asked those delegates who
were in favor Of fighting it ont on that line if 1t
took all Summer, to stand up, and every man OF
them rose.
If these Indications arc correct tho Grant
plan of CAMPAIGN will continue to bc that Of
delay and obstruction and Obstinate endurance, in
the hope that the other side may be to pieces
with fighting and waiting.
Tho Grant men say that Senator Conkling
and tho Grant leaders perfectly sat's-
fled with to-days vote. That is to say.
that they got as many votes ~ they
expected and fonnd their men Standing firm.
