heard on the street and which did mol
cease until the orchestra had struck up

CHICAGO. ILL.,, May 3l.-The heat Of
the Presidential canvass was very consid'
erably intensified to-day owing to tie
laTkt VI utickhtC5 uAlu tho RiNo-
enco OF the outside forces, which are ex-
peoied TO play . prominent part in shap.
ing the outcome of events. About four
hundred delegates have arrived on the
ground and have been supplemented by
an innumerable host of flankers. who are
at present the most active factors in the
preliminary battling. 1t Is conceded that
no convention in the history of the
party, ever was composed Of delegations
more thoroughly unhampered In tine
way of pledges than the present one, all
Of which tends to lend sharp excitement
to the early movements in the fight.
The hotels to-day begun for the first
time to feel the force OF the Convention
crush aud the corridors Of the leading
ones were alive throughout the day with
active workers.
Ex-Governor John ID. Long, OF Mas.
sachusetts, arrived ahead OF his dele
CATION, which is due tomorrow morning.
He declared that Massachusetts would
undou btedly give her solid vote for
Edmunds.
The greater number Of the Texas rdel.
egation also arrived at noon, having
been delayed on route by big flood
near Texarkans, resulting from the re-
| cent rain storms. The delegates from
the State of Texas are divided between
Arthur and Blaine. Nearly oil the Ala.
ba,na delegation arrived during the fore.
noon and also portion OF the Tennessee,
Georgia and Mississippi delegations.
The Nebraska delegation came in body
late in the afternoon.
Earnest but good natured work was
done during the day for the different
candidates, but only in the way OF
throwing out skirmishers and preparing
the lines for attack and defense. One
hears very little except Arthurand Blaine
Occasionally something is said and done
for Logan, the third conspicuous candi-
date, but the delegates do not seem to
attach much Importance to his candi-
dacy. In this respect they may be mis-.
taken. There seems to be no doubt OF q
friendly alliance between Blaine and Lo-
gan. The headquarters of their sup.
porters are located in the same hall and
friendly intercourse is kept up.

CnIcAGo, H., May 3l.-Intercourst
to-day with Nebraska and Kansas peo-
Pile develop the fact that Blaine's friends
have over.estimatsd his strength In
those two States and when the ballots
are had there will be pronounced di
vision. This miscalculation is due to
basing the probable action Of this yeaI
on tho feeling in 1880. But then II was
not 30 much Blaine, as opposition to a
third term for Grant. While Blsiue''
popularity is conceded, other influences
have entered in to divide his support
No one can fail to discover the differ
ence between the management ol
the conspicuous candidates. There
is little system but great en-
thusiasm in the Blaine ranks, while
Arthur's followers are like well.drilled
army. This was remarked upon by O
prominent California delegate, who ex
pressed his surprise. He said the Pa
ciic Coast delegation had started ou
for the convention firm in the belle
that the nomination of Blaine was o fore
gone conclusion and that after the frs
ballot, on which complimentary votesfo
Arthur, Edmunds, Logan, Sherman ant
others would be given, there would be ;
stampede to the standard of the maj
from Maine. Since their arrival here
however, their confidence had beer
greatly shaken by Arthur's adherents.
