HOW IT WAS MANAGED.
CHICAGO, June 6.-The nomination of
Blaine was due to sheer luck and the promise
OF future aid to General Logan and John
Sherman. Had those two men cast their
influence for Arthur he would have won But
Logan thought be could get more from Blaine
IN the future. With Sherman there was the
old fight between himself and the President,
Ohaffee, who, with Stephen B. Elkins.
manipulated the delegates for Blaine. honestly |
confesssed when the trial came that he could |
not account for the sentiment after the mis- |
takes Blaine's managers had made this week. |
Ihelr whole campaign has been comedy of |
errors. The Edmnnds sideshow did not |
prove of any benefit to Arthur, because the |
men who composed it, such as George |
William Curtis, Representative Roosevelt and |
Ex-Governor Long, adhered to their man tc |
the end and left Arthur in the lurch.
Elkins and Chaffee had front seats on tho |
stage, where they remained all day directing |
the movements. They admitted early in the |
day that their case was one involved in great |
doubt. Then they opened on Logan, tele- |
him that Cullom was selling him |
out and to come on to Chicago Immediately. |
Logan bit at this, and when he had been |
worked up to q proper condition a bargain
was made. Judge Foraker was sent for, and
he was tempted with aid in the dim future
but he did not bite 80 readily. The dose was
pleasant, however, and he fell into line
Letters and kilograms were poured in to dele
gates from their constituents and friends, re
citing fabulous stories. These were prepared
in Chicago. Some needy colored delegates
were talked to properly, and by the aid of
these methods the day was won.
The situation was 30 critical for Blaine
when the third ballot was reached that his
managers had concluded to give up the battle
Tor him II an adjournment had been ordered.
The fourth ballot ended the fight amidst one
Df the widest scenes ever witnessed in
The Pennsylvania delegation
played prominent part in the contest, and
It was through their decided stand that the
McManes, Disston and Grove voted for
Blaine continuously, and Leeds Gilpin and
Rowan after the first ballot. Those who re-
NAMED true to President Arthur were Messrs
Lane, Bingham, Pollock, Hunter, Thompson,
Ruhl, Magee and Flynn.
The congratulations OF President Arthur to
Blaine were received within ID minutes after
.he final vote was announced and their read
ng raised a feeling of admiration for tho
occupant Of the White House that was mani
Tested in cheer after cheer.
