BLAINE-LoGAN TACTICS.
CHICAGO, May 22.-"Blaine and Logan
will be the winning ticket at the forthcom-
ing convention" said q prominent Maine
politician to-day to your correspondent.
He declined to have his name made public,
but further stated that he had been here
for . week, and that at Q conference held
at Washington last week an agreement had
been entered into between the two chiefs
to effect the. above result, and that no ordi-
nary circumstance could prevent it.
Blaine, he added, would certainly have 361
votes on the first ballot, and then Logan
would have his name withdrawn. and the
Illinois delegation would be added to the
Blaine column, which would leave him
only 8 votes to secure his nomination for
President, which would follow on the
fourth ballot. "Oh, it will be quick and
effective work." remarked the politician,
"and to make up the 8 we have now %
| positively pledged" Inquiries among the
leaders here revealed the fact that o com
binstion had certainly been made within Q
week by which il seemed assured that
Blaine would head the ticket. The ar
rangement also contemplates the nomina-
ton Of Logan for Vice President by the
combined strength Of the two. and the
balance Of the programme oontemplates
the names Of Oonkling, Hoar, Fsirchild,
Sherman and Edmunds for the Cabinet,
and the names Of Lincoln, Phelps,
Gresham and Hawley for Foreign Minis
tiers. 1t seems to be doubted very much
whether the above Cabinet could be .
happy family; but it il stated that Conk-
ling would not probably accept, he merely
desiring . Cabinet position rendered him
az q sort of vindication. His revenue
from his law practice is now Of such mag
| nitude that he claims he could not afford
TO re-enter political life again actively.
The strange part of the bargain is the last
clause, which 10 to the effect that Logan is
to be understood as being in tee direct
| line OF Presidential succession in 1883.
The political clans are gathering in
force, and every day marks the arrival of

take possession Of the hotel apartments,

| thing for the actual workers. The friends
| of the various candidates are already here,
| and the various booms are to be well
looked after. The number of dark horses
is increasing, and has already reached the
aggregate Of 81, so prolific is the country
in Presidential timber. The many little
boomlets will not be neglected, but are
being carefully nursed for the great con-
test on the Sd of June. Vigorous politi-
clans are busy slate-making. and an aston
ishing number Of favorite Sons will be
brought forward.
THE GUARDIANSHIP.
The subject Of the craftsmanship Of the
convention is actively discussed, and the
choice seems to be between Plumb, of
Kansas; Hoar, Of Massachusetts,; Sewell,
of New York, and Horr, OF Michigan, for
| the Blaine side of the House; and George
William Curtis, of New York; Uncle Dick
Thompson, OF Indiana, or George No
Kinley, of Ohio. Hoar, it will be remem-
| cered, presided with dignity four years
ago, while Plumb is az excellent parlia-
mentsrian and has a strong voice. AS the
East named the presiding officer at the
last convention, and also n of the Sec
| ~retaries, it is believed the Craftsmanship
| will go this time to the West. The Ma
| tional Committee will agree upon the tenn
porary officers. without difficulty, at its
meeting on Saturday. before the iconven-
ton.
NOMINATION SPEECHES.
Blaine will probably be presented In Q
| nominating speech by Burrows of Michi-
| gan, while Senator Oollum, of Illinois, will
| present Logan's name; Hoar, of Massa-
| chusetts, will speak for Edmunds; Robert
son, of New York, will appeal for Arthur;
| Brsndoges, of Connections, will nominate
Hawley; Thompson and Williams, of Indi-
ana, will speak for Harrison; Foraker, Of
Ohio, will present the claims of Sherman,
while q score of the others will SEQ
ond the nominations in brief speeches.
A LTTTLE SCENE.
There bids fair to be q little scene when
young Roosevelt, Of New York, presents
the name Of Lincoln. Of course the lob
bies will raise q great cheer, and when that
has subsidized, q certain Illinois delegate
will arise and read q letter from Secretary
Lincoln, positively f%orbidding the use Of
his name. But Roosevelt will have touched
the popular chord Of a grateful memory
and accomplished his purpose. The com-
ing meeting, however, does not promise
much in oratory, and no such dramatic
scenes will be witnessed on the floor as were
seen four years ago., when Conkling, and
Garfield, and Logan, and Storrs, and Bout
we'll, and Raymond, and Pixley, and Hale,
did most of the talking and did it well.
Even the praying is not likely to be as
good as in the last convention, for q new
list of ministers have been selected. But
Flanagan will be here again, the notorious
Webster Flanagan, in fact, has even now
arrived from Texas, and will 10 doubt
parslyze the meeting with his cowboy
speeches.
The convention chamber is now ready,
the tickets are printed, the delegates are
gathering and the candidates are anxious
for the decisive contest. EARLE.
