A Chicago letter says Blu, the climax

Arthur hasn't any. We shall get more OF
the Blaine delegates between now and
Tuesday, aud hope to have a delegation
that will be nearly solid for Sherman. We
are on the best OF terms With Mr.. Blaineb
friends in Ohio as well as other states. We
certainly have the most promising dark
horse In the race. 1t looks to
me as though Blaine and Arthur
would get about 300 votes apiece
and stick there. The break will come
when neither can gain more votes. II the
Sherman men stand firm until The turn
