regarded as the manifesto of such Pennsylvania
delegates as do not intend to obey the unit rule.
Senator Cameron has been in town all day. and
was here Yesterday, but he could effect nothing In
the face of the determination of the boiling dele
gates. The declaration OF Mr. Mcsianes is also to
take the place of Il document previously drawn up
for signature which differed from the present one
only in that it declared for Mr Blaine in addition
to asserting freedom of action.
The revolt which has not fully developed yet, and
which will proceed steadily to its final result az
Chicago, was intended to have been started
two weeks ago, but the Kemblo affair
prevented politicians from moving In the matter,
There was in connection with this revolt, at

Philadelphia boilers should be publicly read, and
resolutions in favor of Mr. Blaine adopted, but the
plan fell through Mr. Blaine's friends objecting.
