Regarding the mention OF his name In con

Morris McDonsld said II the opportunity

Governor J. ID Long, OF Massachusetts,,
arrived ahead OF his deleeation, which Is
due tomorrow morning. He declared that
Massach usstts would give her
solid vote for Edmunds. The delegation OF
Now York business men, who came In
Of the candidacy OF President
Arthur, arrived In q satisfactory condition;
needed by David Dows. They numbered
about 100. and took up their quarters at
the Grand Pacific. They were entertained
during the afternoon by large delegation
OF local businees men, also tr2anizsd In the
Arthur interest. The greater number oil
the Texas delegation also arrived about
moor, having been delayed en- route nv
big flood near reIsrkans, resulting rom
recent rains. The delegates state that the
Texas men are divided between Arthur
and Blaine. During the forenoon a .por'
ton OF the Tennessee. Georsia and Missis'
sippi delegations arrived. The Nebraska
delegation came In body late in the alter
noon. Il irnest but good -natured work was
done during the day for the
different candidates, but only in the
way of throwing out skiTmithers
and prenaring the lines OF attack and de
fsnse. One hears very little except AR
thur" or Blaine" Occasionally some
thing said and done for Logan. the third
conspicuous candidate, 10 reported, but the
delegates do not seem TO attach much i'm
portnnce to his candidacy. In this re
spect they may be mistaken. There
tesns to be no doubt oil
friendly alliance between Blaine and
Logan. The headquarters OF their SUP
porters are located in tho same hall and
friendly intercourse kept up. The follow
ing circumstances was related this afternoon
II being thought advisable to test
their relations in Washington, q
southern delegate was dispatched to cal
on Blaine. He was well received, aud dur
Ing the interview he remarked that he wa
friendly to Arthur, but being dorb jul O.
his success, he wanted to support q mar
who was likelv to no successful. Blaine
gave him letter TO General Logan. Upor
5eiiyerine this letter he rems, ked to Logan
that IL was possible TO do something with
the southern delegates, bat there woulo bs
expense attending 1t, and he was poor
mi IN. General Logan remarked that he al
so was poor, but he had friends who might
aid him in the matter, aud gave him let
ter to william Walter Phelps, and the story
coca that this friend invested $500 IN the
southern venture. The alliance lie said te
be offensive snd defensive with view tocon
troll not:oSly hte convention but the ais .r.
OF success at the pole. The
plap OF those who don't wish TO see Ar
tbur or Blaine nominated, is to persuade
the unpledeed aud independents to adhes
TO their choice through successive
ballots, They even desire Il
k,sp Illinois voting for. Logan
IL is expected this course will cause
break in the ranks Of Blame and Arthu
and make IT possible to nominate elthel
