Interviewed.

CmCAGo, June 25.-The delegation
from the Pacific slope arrived in Chicago
yesterday morning. Ii consisted of
Christopher buckley, J. j. Drissoll,
Secretary of the Democratic state Com.
mittee; Morris Schmidt, delegate from
California to the National Democratic
Convention, and Matthew Canovan, of
Nevada, aud j. J. Daley, of Oregon,
who represe 1t those State, in the same
gathering. Tney were ON their way to
New York and left on the afternoon
train.
Buckley said to reporter: "The
California delegation was instructed for
1ilden first and Thurman afterward.
This, however, was before Tilden's
letter declining the nomination was
received, aud the dele CATION is
in consequence in something of guam.
Diary. 1t will, however, probably give
its first vote to Thurman and afterward
20 to Cleveland, if he is not already
nominated. Oae positive instruction 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
buster Of the slope delegates. The par
ty will be much disappointed at the out
come of the election in the far Western
States. The Republicans of California
were ANXIOUS to have Blaine as their can
didate, because he was the only
Republican who was considered
sound on the Chinese question.
Edmunds was known to be opposed to
the bill and Arthur vetoed it and, in
consequence, neither of them coHli
stand the least show of carrying the
State. Blaine's record was good i'll the

entangling alliances with mouopolies
and the record of opposition TO the
Thurman bill measure, which is very
popular in all the States OF the slope. II

Democratic candidate, Blaine will be
beaten in California 0,000 votes as

fornia remember too well that, when
McSweeny, of San Francisco, was ar.

fined for sixteen months, Blaine, then
Secretary of State, refused to lift a fin
ger to have him released and never even
answered the letters which McSweeny
wrote him.
Canovau, Of Nevada, said there was
little doubt that his State would 90
Democratic this Fall. The delegates to
the Democratic Convention had been in
structed for Tilden and would vote for
him unless it was seen that his letter of
declnation was absolute; then they
would 20 either for Cleveland or Thur.

Daily said that Oregon would proba-

nominee. The withdrawal of Tilden
had LETT his delegation without instruc-
tions, aud, while he was personally for
Cleveland, he was unpreparcd to say
how the delegation would vote.
