on every hand, but none of the angry feel

has been Just as much hard work,
perhaps more cancusing, and certainly
not less scheming and Ilaneuvering,
than four years ago; but it has been done
quietly and III order, instead OF the wild
shouts of politicians on the street corners,
cheering for the candidates, the hoarse ar
guments of partisans and the Drawing of
brass bands, the workers are laboring in
secret The only music heard is the sing
ing of q few glee clubs, and the only street
noise audible in the parlOrs OF the Grand

street preacher, and the refrain OF the song,

gates from every point OF the compass ar
rived on the morning trains. Some were
booked for rooms in private residences
Others, after some delay, were assigned 10
rooms in the hotels. Tired with travel,
dust-begrimcd, ignorant of the situation
and anxious to learn the latest news. they
fiocked through the hotel corridors, stop
ping at the various headquarters, YEARLY
searching for the information that is really
unobtainable.
THE BLAINE HEADQUARTERS.
The new headquarters of the Blaine men
at the Grand Pacific were opened this
morning. The room is the ladies dining
room of the hotel, one Of the largest apart
ments in the house, ten times the size of
the Arthur headquarters The room is not
as accessible as the Presidents parlor, but
the searcher for Blaine sentiment cannot
miss the way II is blazoned not only by
the pushing throng of Blaine adherents,
moving constantly toward the headquar-
lar candidate. and large linen posters
swung across the corridors, on which are
painted, " Blaine Headquarters" Blaine
and Victory, " The Peoples Choice" All
day the headquarters have been crowded.
LOGAN HEADQUARTERS.
Next to the Blaine headquarters, in size
and importance, are the headquarters of
the Logan men, on the opposite side of the
hotel. From the ceiling to the floor, around
the heavy mantels and large pier glasses.
flags are tastefully draped The State ban
ner of Illinois hangs across one corner of
the inner room, big table, laden with
documents, pamphlets, songs and newspa-
pers advocating Logan 5 nomination, stands
in the center of the row, from which
all callers are invited TO partake of
inspiration for the cause. A bronze bust of
the General, and very poor Autograph Of
his Warlike cOuntenance, stood on the
mantels, and his earnest supporters discuss
the prospects of his nomination in whiS-
perS.
THE ARTHUR HEADQUARTERS
Rank third in size. 4 tastefullv draped
banner, two commonHoil paintings, pict-
ure Of the President, and a table covered
with newspapers containing compliment
AIRY notices of Gen. Arthur, are the minor
features of the room. Its main attractions
are the burly form of Clint Wheeler the
slender form of Michael Dady the hand
some figure of Robert McCord, the dandy
shape of Michael Cregan and the sub
stantal shape Of Joel Everhardt
THE MICHIGANDERs.
The delegates smile as they glance into
the large parlOr of the Michigan delegation,
adjoining the main ladies parlor of the
hotel. The walls are hid from view by a
dozen large silk flags The coat-of-arms
of the State is placed cOnspicuously oppo-
site the main entrance, but the big card at
tracing the attention of all callers is q large
painted sign, hanging across the wall, bear
ing these words; Michigan pledges her
electoral vote for thenomince.' The dele
gates are satisfied that the Republicans will
carry Michigan, but they would like 10
know how the delegates from that State
Will vote IN the Convention. Senators
Palmer and Congcr are both in the city,
working like beavers for Arthur. Pamel's
influence, especially, IS strong He Is be
ginning Il Senatorial term of six years. has
the control Of the Federal patronage
Of the State and is rich. Only a few weeks
ago the President was one OF his guests at
one Of the most elegant dinner parties ever
given in Washington, and the Young Sena-
tor is tiajtered by the attentions Of the
President. Mr.. COngcr says that ne j. not
working for Arthur, but his actions belle
his words. HOar and Burrows are work
ing for Blaine but they feel that the odds
are against them in fight with the two
Senators. There Will be between sixteen
and eighteen votes from Michigan for
Blaine. Two of the delegates tonight are
reported for Sherman, and Arthur viii
have the rest on the first ballot. On the
second ballot, unless Blaine, as now seems
probable. is nominated on the trst. the
solid vote of the State viii be given HIM.
THE VIRGINIA DELEGATION.
The Virginia delegates. headed by Sen
atOr Malone. otherwise termed the
Suaightouts arrived to-day The other
delegation, with the exception of Mr. De
Zendorf arrived this evening General W.
c. Wickhaw was the leader of the latter
party. When asked what he thought of
the action of the National Committee in
giving the Malone delegates seats in the
Convention he said he was not surprised
The real contest would be made IN the
Convention. The expression here how
ever, is very general, both in the Blaine
and Arthur camps that Malone and his
followers Will be seated by the Convention
THE GUARDIANSHIP.
The Craftsmanship of the Convention
continues to provoke Il large share Of at
tentiOn. Western Blaine men have favored
Grow of Pennsylvania, but do not care to
press him, owing to a fear that the vote
may be made a test on showing Blaines
strength. rs the matter now stands, it APP
pears that the Craftsmanship viii probably
be given to Mckinley Of Ohio, as the per
son who would not antagonize either the
Arthur or Blaine people.
