BUsTLING CROWD.
How Chicagoans are scOOping i'm she
Gnah.

CHICAGO, June 4. Those who predicted that the
convention would reach the first ballot today were
disappointed. To be sure, there is no such harass
ing question the unit rule to be disposed of but
there are questions of contested delegations and of
resolutions TO be settled and if the question raised
by Senator Frye is brought up a long and exciting
debate is certain. That this question is to be con-
sidered is very probable-whether the basis of rep
reseltation in future conventions shall be the Re-
publican vote at the preceding presidential election.
1t will require four or five hours for the pre-.
sentation of the of the several candidates.
that the convention will do we'll if it reaches the
hrst ballot on Friday. At the convention four
years ago the first ballot had Monday follow

day. This years convention met one day IN the
week earlier, and doubtless an effort viii be made

vicinity of the exposition building estimated at

wares lining every rentable wall, and using their
opportunity to make the convention turn an honest
penny for Chicago. The hotels crammed and
cots are placed in corridors and halls. 1t is said
there never were so many strangers in Chicago as
now. The weather is beginning to warm up, but
thus FAR without sweltering heat.

convention, and while the hall was still crowded,
there were loud calls for "Ingersolr and "Og-

clusion be announced that the Republican party
was going to win, and that the American people
would not allow that party to retire from the ex-
ercise of the solemn powers of this nation.
Congressman Horr of Michigan was called for,
and came forward and made speech. He remark

Talk About Dark Horse-L0gan Will
Not Take Second Place.

CHICAGO, June AIT a late hour last night
after considerable earnest talk among the
Blaine delegates from Missouri and Michigan
upon the advisablity of bringing out General
Sherman as a candidate as the only solution of
the present situation in the convention, it was
suggested that General Sherman would not
permit the use OF his name or accept the
nomination under any circumstances In
obedience to the wishes of a majority of these
delegates j. B. Henderson sent an earnest
telegram to General Sherman urging him to
accept and requesting him to send an answer
this morning.
The general impression this morning was
that the chances OF nomination of some man
not heretofore prominently mentioned had
been Increased. The names most frequently
mentioned are the two Shermans andGresbam,
General Shermsn's reply to ex-senator Hem
derson is understood to be peremptory refusal
to allow the use of his kane. In case of a
break in the Blaine column, it is understood
that Nebraska will 60 to Senator Sherman.
Eastern delegates are determined to adhere to
Edmunds, and as they are divided in opinion
1t is likely their strength will be divided be
tween Sherman, Gresham and Hawley for
some time.

the contest in the first Alabama district by de-
Gliding to seat the two delegates now on the
roll.

MT. KINEo, June 4.-The steam mill at Mt.
Kineo, which has been employed during the
past Winter and Spring in preparing lumber
