ARTaUR's BOOM IN CHICAGO.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE feeling in favor
of the denomination of Arthur is growing
rapidly in the northwest, and some inter
esting Developments may be expected
here. The artist in charge of the Arthur
boom is Jesse Spaulding, collector of GUS
toms at Chicago, who has been quietly
working not only in Illinois, but also in
Wisconsin and Michigan. "Uncle JESSE
does not shine at dinner party,
and he can not make q
speech, but when it comes
to practical business or the
management of booms he is sly. Uncle
Jesse is devilish sly. He is a partner of
Senator Philetus Sawyer, of Wisconsin, in
the ownership of large pine forests. Uncle
Jesse has been collector of customs for
two years and is recognized as the per-
sonal friend and political representative
of President Arthur. When the term for
which William Henry Smith, of the asso-
ciated press, was appointed collector had
expired the office was sought
by VIM. Penn Nixon. the manager
OF the Inter- Ocean. There was
no doubt of his nomination until Gen.
Logan asked certain pledges from him
which Nixon was not willing to give. The
Inter O;ean had always done Logan's bid
ding, and no one supposed he would re-
fuse the first favor Nixon ever asked of
him, but Black Jack refused to consent to
his appointment without some guarantee
that the paper and the Office would be run
in his favor. His foresight was
good, for il has become
a fight between Logan and Arthur
for the Illinois delegation in the next
Republican convention. The congression-
al delegation recommended Nixon for COL
lector, but Logan released uncle Jesse, who
was at the time agreeable to all parties,
but is strong anti-Logan now. Every anti
Logan man in the state is out and out for
Arthur, but SO far they have no organiza-
ton that Logan canuot crush by sitting
down upon it. On the contrary he has
splendid set of machinery covering the
entire state. If he should take charge of
the Arthur boom he would throw his enc
mics entirely into the shade and democrat
ize them utterly. AS said, if he is smart
he will do it. That Arthur is popular in the
west is shown by the fact that the newspa-
pers which up to q year ago criticised him
severely are all advocating his renomina-
ton. The Des Moines Register, the lead
ing paper in Iowa, which has always been
for Blaine and charged Arthur with tie re-
sponsibility Of Garfeld's assassination,
has within week decided that the New
York election makes Arthur his own sue
ces5or, and it now supports him cordially.
TILDEN MUST BE NOMINATED.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1T have just come
from New York." said John G. Priest, of
st. Louis, 'and they all feel there that
Tilden must be nominated next year if we
propose to carry New York. 1 visited Mr..
Tilden frequently while there, aud talked
freely With him, and while ne does not say
that he is candidate, yet have left him
convinced that if he is nominated
in the proper manner he will not
decline the call. I was also with Randall
in Philadelphia. He went over his est
mates with me, and there is no doubt
about his being the next speaker. Ran
dali knows what he is about. He is not
making brass band canvass, but when
the caucus is held Mr.. Carlisle will be the
most surprised man IN Washington. 1 do
not speak of Cox because I do not regard
him as a real candidate. Randall is per-
fectly cool and confident, and acts like G
man who knows wha: he is talking a5oUt
