SUNDAY SCENES AND INCIDENTS.


the hotels themselves have been overcrowded' busy
hives of politicians the hum of whose industry has
disturbed the Sunday air. The Pacific Coast dele
gates were astir early and marched in body, led
bv band of music, 10 the station,
where they greeted with hearty cheers and
patriotic strains the arrival of tho delegates
from the Pine Tree State The men
from the shores of the Atlantic and the Paclhc
then marched to the Blaine headquarters, where
there was more cheering interspersed with short
speeches The Blaine men so cramped for
room, yesterday, that something had to DC dohe
and this morning one of the large dinlng-rooms OF
the Grand Pacific a room that will hold LOCO peO-
pie was placed at their disposal. Even that proved
rather small for the purpose when the Colorado
delegates having just arrived. marched with banners
flying surmOunted by Rocky Mountain eagle dl-
rect to the Blaine headquarters. Their appearance
was the signal for more speeches and more rounds
OF hearty cheers. The Colorado men took possess
sion of a room adjoining the Blaine headquarters
using large portrait of Blaine as sign to mark
the Colorado headquarters. The Minnesota deega-
ton established headquarters near by and hung
out banner bearing this legend: Minnesota dele
gates divided. but 40. 900 majority for the nomi-
Nee"
ARTHUR WORK AMONG MICHIGAN MEN.
The Michigan delegates established themselves
in a room adjoining the Arthur headquarters at the
gresham Horr made everybody feel at home

is President Arthurs own cousin, and Arthur
turned out Trowbridge and appointed Stone
Collector of Internal Revenue. He would be
monster of ingratitude If he did not try to help
his patron, would he not? Oh, no, there IS no Ar
thur sentiment in our State it is all Blaine. Why,
In my own county vote was taken in the Republl-
can Convention and Blaine received 90 to for
Arthur. That is about the proportion throughout
the State think l know the Arthur men are try
ing to steal away some of the Blaine delegates and
may succeed in two or three cases. They are also
trying to take advantage of General Shermans pop
ularity to induce some of delegates to vote for
him. and In that way they may succeed but those
men will never go to Arthur"
BLAINE VOTES FROM MICHIGAN
Congressman Horr confirmed this story Of the
attempt of the Arthur men to create diver
sion against Blaine in the ranks OF
the Michigan delegation. but he expressed
N''N-t'NNo
for Blaine on first ballot Mr.. Horr is for Blaine,
Governor Long of Massachusetts, for Edmunds.
He stepped briskly into the Michigan headquarters
this afternoon and greeted Dir. Hon.
"A new ticket ?" asked AIr. Horn.
Where could better ticket be found2' suggest

"But must insist that you take the first place;
my modesty forbids that 1 should do So" and
Horr:

the first place" The coloquy became animated
and soon the two delegates became occupied in
what seemed to be a serious conversation.

mantlepiece and flags Overtop and surround II.
Upon of the smaller OF these IS the
figure of a cartridGe-box, on which
are inscribed the words forty rounds
Unmilitary visitors are puzzled by these words,
which some of them seem TO think are borrowed
nom the prize-ring, for one Of them to-day was
heard TO observe in a medtatlve underi0ne;
"FOrty rOundsi forty rounds! Does that mean
that John expects TO stand up and win on forty
ballots /" Besides the flags and bust and the faith
ful friends who crowd the rooms, there Is large
table piled high with Logan songs" most OF
which have already been sung too many times at
