 CHICAGO. May 3O.-Every train that ar rives brings delegates and visitors to the to be held next Tuesday and the hotels show signs of activity, though as yet there is but little excitement. There are kot yet enough delegates in town to indicate to any certainty the outcome of the convention. The Arthur men gre showing up strong to- day because @ number of southern delegates arrived and are talking him up very loudly After Arthur, the southerners, especially the colored ones, seem to prefer Logan and af- ter Logan Blaine. A number of southerners called at the Logan headquarters and so did every delegate who arrived from the territo- ries where Logan seems to be well known and popular. The statement about the Los gan men stampeding in the early stage of the seems to have no other founda- ton than the desire of the Arthur and Blaine men to get Logan's men away from him to add to the fortunes of their own candidates. The only show that Logan has is for his men to stick by him in solid phalanx until it is that neither Blaine nor Arthur can be nominated. when enough southern men might go from Arthur to Logan and enough northern men from Blaine to Logan to give him the prize. The Blaine boom is hardly apparent, but there is no doubt that it is growing steadily and when the wild vest erners from the slope arrive tomorrow on 8 g. -ecial train of twelve cars and the remainder of the Iowa delegation get here and are re- inforced by the men from Maine and Penn sylyania that boom will assume an immense size and may overshadow all others. Ar thurs managers are getting ready for the fray and hope to get assistance from the Logan men h this State, hope for which there does not seem to be any substantial foundation. If ever the Logan men break it will be likely to benefit General Arthur. His friends think it will take about five ballots to nominate him. others are of opinion that if he is not nominated on the second ballot he never will be. The Arthur people believe that the arrival of the business mems dele ostion from New York will impress the western delegates with the idea that Arthur is the safest man to run in New York, but their statements will be offset to some exten by the independents who are coming here to inform the delegates and the rest of mankind that neither Arthur nor Blaine can win in the Empire State. The independents are for Edmunds, but 8 careful search over the city to-day failed to find the slightest trace of an Edmunds boom. A new boom discovered to-day was in the interest of Senator Sher- man, who was being talked about by the buckeyes who reached town this morning
 k1h ho1n he hat he Edmunds men will go to sherman and that if the New York business men find they can not nominate Arthur they too will rally to his support and make him formidable can- didate There is no doubt that the Sherman men are organizing 8 boom. Another boom or rather boomlet was for Andrew D. White, president of Cornell college and delegste-at-IRrge from New York. It prob ably won't amount to anything. A more dangerous man as dark horse was quite frequently mentioned-Justice John M. Harlan of the United States Supreme court, who is now holding court in this city. It is apparent, however, that dark horses are not favorites with the delegates.
 The National committee will meet to-mor- row and consider the Malone and Dezendorf contest and also decide who shall be tenn porary chairman and distribute the tickets to the members of the committee from each State, who will deliver them to the delegates, each delegate getting five or six. Galusha A. Grow, of Pennsylvania, will probably be tenn porary chairman.
 A Delegates Doubls-A Man Who Person
 ated PIeasants and Took In the Blaine
 Skirmishers.
 CHICAGO, May 30-William H. Pleasants is colored Malone delegate from Virginia. Yesterday g negro dressed in a bread cloth suit and palmetto hat made his appearance at the Grand Pacific. Stephen B. Elkins and Tom Don aldson had already arrived and picketed their skirmishers and the hefty lieutenants were on the qui vive for arrivals. Every possible delegate was properly cor rallied and taken to the Blaine camp to be put through by Donaldson. To day James D. Brady. chairman of the Repub- lican committee of Virginia and Mahone's right hand man, received the following tele- gram:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., May 30. Colonel J. D. Brady, Palmer House, Chicago;
 Peasants is here. The man pers'nating him 1s an impoktor and should be arrested.
 The colored gentleman who calls himself Peasants was lying back comfortably in one of the plush covered easy chairs at the Grand Pacific before the receipt by Brady of Olarke's telegram. If he is an impostor more than one Blaine skirmisheF has been taken in It was whispered around the hotel that several delegates had 'loaned' him numerous sums, ranging from $5 to Sl5. Tonight he is not visible
