A Conference -Addresses by President
White and Gee rye william Curtis.

CHICAGO, June "A caucus of Edmunds
adherents was held this morning Between
three and four hundred people were present,
of whom hundred aud fifty were delegates.
The latter were not willing to pledge them
selves to the cause of Edmunds at the out
set but absolute pledges of ninety were OBJ
tanned to vote for him, and it was estimated
that his strength in the carly balloting would
e-ceed 100. Senator Hoar presided
Speeches in the interest of Ldmunds were
made by Andrew D. White and George Will
liam Curtis. In his speech Mr.. Curtis said
that he believed Edmunds stood upon the
strongest foundation of any candidate yet
mentioned, and he proposed to stick to the
Nerm0nter at least until II became apparent
that the nomination of some one else repre-
sentlng exactly the same ideas was assured
Mr.. Curtis was loudly applauded.
The impression prevailed that the Uonnec-
ticut delegates will go to Edmunds in case of
an early break.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 3,-The leaders of the
Edmunds movement held consultation to-
night. In the view that they held the bal
ancc of power they decided to keep up the
fight until either sufficient rumber of votes
came their way to decide the contest in his
favor or else give their strength TO come one
of their liking. Some of the Edmunds men
afterward held consultation with the Ar

To-day the last of the figuring is being
DONE and the boom of the Blaine patty is
higher than any other The scene in and
around the headquarters.o all the candidates
has been pretty lively all day, but in the
Blaine quarters it has been simply blaze of
pre-convention glory The Blaine folks have
by all odds the largest headquarters in the
lot, and they have been packed to the ut
most capacity all day long. There were
some pretty good stump speakers in the
room, and they did no end of talking, much
to the delight OF the outside boomers.
The Arthur campaign here is one OF the
finest pieces of mimetic work in the world,
and Frank Hatton ought, by all means, to
start out on the road as star. He has
somebody watching the fine work done by
Elkins, Chairce Miller ami the rest Of the
Blaine side of the house. Whenever they
have made sharp move in any direction, he
has immediately set IN and tried to copy 1t.
The Blaine leaders are the boldest and
ceverest tactlcans | have ever come in con-
tact with. They know every rope and every
strand, and they have an acquaintance with
the personal members of various delegations
which are not enjoyed by the heads
of the iothor blooms. The Arthur
people stood out until yesterday against a
combination with any body, because
they had blind sort of hope that
they would be able to carry the
day without involving themselves in any
complications of this kind, but yesterday
things began to look rather squally, and be-
| fore night it was openly known that COM
binatlon was to be made on the plan laid out
| by Elkins with the Sherman people. Ben
| Harrison of Ind lana was the man chosen by
the Arthur leaders as the stool pigeon. AS
an offset against Sherman who occupies a
similar relation to the Blame party, Harrison
is not particularly strong. He is, however
powerful enough 10 string some solid voting
| in Indiana, where there was very decided
division among the delegates not altogether
unfavorable to the Blaine side Of the estab
ishmcnt. The most noticeable feature
of the Blaine campaign is the exceeding
quiet with which everything is done. There
is no noise, no cheering, and no singing
The utmost that has been heard in the way o
applause in the big apartments where Thu

the President though. Tho Edmunds poo
pie are counting on going into the convcn-
ton about 100 strong, but the chances are
that tLcy are sold 40 TO about 20 or 20 OF the
men they think are solid for their candidate.
The Arthur people give Edmunds about 60
votes, and the Blaine party estimate his
strength at 20 above that point, but say bis
followers will not stick.
The Edmunds Men Serene.
from the Boston Advertisers Despatch.l
The Edmunds men are in a serene mood,
They have at least 95 votes, with more to
come The genuine feeling for the Yer
mont Senator which is displayed throughout
the Northwest is unexpected. 1t will give
him six votes in Michigan, four or five in
Wisconsin, and seven in Minnesota, Others
are waiting to go to him if the prospect OF
success iustfes 1t. But many Edmunds
men think that it viii be good policy to give
votes enough TO Arthur to keep him pretty
well abreast with Blaine. They argue that
this is necessary to prevent any lstampede of
the colored vote, so that in the beginning 1t
may be deemed best 20 help Arthur some to
defeat Blaine. Nothing has yet been deter
mined upon but, in general way the Ed
munds party will unite with Arthur in any
contest which may arise over the organlza-
ton. The strength developed then will
indicate what is Blaine's actual voting power
end what attitude towards him the Logan
and Shermcn men will assume.

1892. The cremony was performed by
Bishop William White. Bishops Hopkins
of Eermost, McIlvaine of Ohio and
Doane of New Jersey, all long since
dead, were cOnserated at the same time
and place as Bishop Smith. The active du-
ties of the episcopatc in the latter's diocese
have been discharged for many years by an
assistant bishop, aud the senior bishop has
lived in New York city or its neighborhood

mtted him to take prominent part IN the
affairs of the ichurch for considerable pc
Rod, but he ofiiciatcd at the conservation OF
Assistant Bishop Potter in Grace church last
October. On October 81, 1882, the semi
centennial anniversary of Bishop Smiths
