derive from such an alliance, as it seems
probable will be made, though it is undoubt-
edlY throwing of Blaine's strength to Logan
in case it becomes apparent that the ''plumed
knight cannot be nominated. In re-
turn for the contingent support
| it is expected that after
the first ballot the Logan strength will go to
Blaine and stay for him till the third or
fourth ballot when, if by that time he is not
nominated, the combined strength of the
two is to be shifted to the Illinois statesman.
Said one of the friends of Blaine," who is no
believer in this coalition: ''Senator Chaffee
who is supposed to be making the negotia-
tons between the two candidates is one of
the closest friends Logan has got and Logan
reposes great confidence in him. l have
seen the letter which Logan sent here saying
to those who have charge of
his interests that he could
not give them explicit direction
until after he had consulted with Chatfee.
They have had conference, and when the
time comes Chaffee will be the connecting
| link between the Blaine and Logan people
| think that the first ballot will show a
/
Logan votes are added, to nominate him,
and we are going to nominate Blaine just
that way. 1t will be short convention with
some sharp work; but you can depend upon
it that it will be done the way 1 have stated.
Chatfee really did more than any other man
to work up the Logan boom and he came to
Chicago month ago and fixed it up that
way."'
Said the GLOBE correspondent: 81 fail to
see where Logan is to gain anything by
this.''
'Logan's gain is clear enough. Without
this alliance he stands no show of gettin G
the nomination, whereas, with it, if Blaine's
friends should find that he could not be nom
mated, Logan would stand an excellent
chance. Further, if Blaine is elected under
these circumstances it will be due to Logan,
and he will be remembered in the formation
of the cabinet. Logan, however, is a genu-
ind candidate and of course his friends count
strongly on failure to nominate
Blaine. In case Logan should secure the
courted prize the same courtesy as to a cabi-
net position will be extended to Blaine.''
DON'T BELIEVE IN LOGAN.
Mr.. Hawley, who was at one time assistant

Arthur's name. 'He does not" said he,
represent enough of the northern Republi-
can votes which sent delegates to this con-
vention. He will be twitted with having
been nominated by the negroes, rings, etc.,
and will go into the campaign weak.
l do think, however, that Arthur
has disappointed the unreasonable fears
of him and that he is a growing
man and if he had six months more before
the convention he might make the nomina.
ton. But even if he were nominated the
convention would be twitted with having put
him over the favorite of the party, Blaine. u
Mr.. c. B. Hart, of Wheeling, w. Va, con.
tradicted the report of the Arthur men that
they have captured the delegation from his
state, To GLOBE correspondent he said
''The West Virginia delegates were all elect
ed as Blaine men and staunch ones at that
The claim of Arthur men that they have cap
tured one-half of them is utterly without
foundation, for every one
will stand by Blaine as
long as he has a chance of success, and if he
is nominated we will carry the state for him
without dollar of financial assistance from
outside.''
THINKS sHERMAN'S THE MAN.
At the Sherman headquarters Mr.. Cork.
hill was seen by the GLOBE correspondent,
and after sounding the praises of his favorite
was asked whether, in the event of Arthur's
nomination, he would be supported by Sena-
tor Sherman.
''Wel,'' said Mr.. Corkhill, ''I suppose he
would not oppose him, but what could
he say in his favor? Arthur was oustei
from the position of collector of the por
of New York by Mr.. Sherman, and though
that matter did not come up when Arthur
was nominated for vice president, it will
come up now if Arthur is nominated fo
president, and you see that it will be pretty
hard for Sherman to support him very warm
ly. 1t is this enforced attitude of Sherman
towards Arthur that is the latter's chief ele
ment of weakness in Ohio as a candidate fo
the presidency. Sherman is all that Arthu
is as far as conservatism and the safety O
the interests of the country are concerned
and more, and he has the advantage of
clear record.''
THE LOGAN MEN.
The Logan headquarters are quieter TO-DAY
than yesterday-that is, there was not 81
much of hurrah about their proceedings
but an enormous amount of quiet worl
!, was being done and the rooms were not b,
any means deserted. While the visitors, out
side the Illinois delegation, were mainl,
from the south and southwest, there was
fair sprinkling from the north, including
Senator Sabin-who was received by Senate
Cullom, who has charge of the Logan boon
while the ranks of the workers were in
creased by the advent of Gen A. c. Hawley
late adjutant general of Minnesota, whC
, comes to boom Logan for all he's worth
Long Jones says. logan will receive
great accessions of strength from the ives
and northwest as soon as a break comes. 1
Iowa breaks from Blaine it will 60 as a uni
o Logan, and the Blaine men of Minnesota
and Wisconsin will also go for him''
THE COLORADO DELEGATION
has opened headquarters at the Grand Pa
cific in rooms vacated by the Blaine men
and all the delegation will be here by to
morrow. X. G. Cooper, of the Denver T,f6
