ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
CHICAGO, juno 27.-The delegation from
the Pacific Slope arrived. in Chicago yes
terday morning. 1t consisted Of Christie
pher Buckley, ]. j. Driscoll, Secretary Of
the Democratic State Committee; Morris
Schmidt. q delegate from California to the
National Democratic Convention; Matthew
Canavan of Nevada and J. j. DAILY of Ore.
gon, who represent their States in the
same gathering. They were on their way
to New York, and left ON the afternoon
train. Buckley. to q reporter. said the
California delegation was instructed for
Tilden first and Thurman afterward. This,
however, was before Tilden's letter declin-
ing the nomination was received, and the
delegation is, in consequence, in some
thing of a quandary. 1t will, however,
probably give its first vote to Thurman,
and afterwards go to Cleveland, il he is not
already nominated. One positive instruc-
ton it, however, has, and that is not to
vote for Judge Field. Blaine can never
carry California or Nevada. He may
succeed in Oregon. The Republican
Convention was greatly deceived by
the brag and bluster Of the Pacific
Slope delegates. The party will be
much disappointed at the outcome of the
elections in the Far Western States. The
Republicans Of California were anxious to
have Blaine for their candidate because he
was the only Republican who was consid-
cred sound on the Chinese question. Ed
munds was known to be opposed to the
bill. aud Arthur vetoed it, and in conse-
quence neither Of them could stand the
least show of carrying the State. Blaine's
record was good in the matter, but no bet
ter than any Democrats, and he was
weighed down with entangling alliances
with monopolies, and his record in opposi-
ton to the Thurman bill, q measure which
is very popular in all the States of the
Pacific Slope. II either Thurman or Cleve-
land is the Democratic candidate Blaine
will be beaten in California by 20, 900
votes, as many as the Democrats carried

Will he gain any Irish votes in the
West 4?
Not a vote. The Irishmen OF California
remember too well how, when insolvency
of San Francisco was arrested as q ''sus-
pect" in Ireland, and confined for 16
months, Blaine, then Secretary OF State,
refused to lift a finger to have him re-
leased, and never even answered the let
ters which McSweeney wrote him.
Caravan of Nevada said there was little
doubt that his State would go Democratic
this Fall. The delegates Of the Demo
cratic Convention had been instructed for
| Tilden, and would vote for him, unless
ii was seen that his letter of de-
clinstion was absolute. Then they would
go either for Cleveland or Thurman.
DAILY said that Oregon would probably
go to Blaine. California and Nevada he
considered sure for the Democratic nomi-
nee. The withdrawal Of Tilden had left
his delegation without instructions, and
| while he was personally for Cleveland, he
was u~nprepared to say how the delegation
| would vote.
