CHICAGO, June 2.-Noon.-The situa.
tion this morning in the Presidential
canvass is very much simplified. All
the delegations are now on the ground,
including New York and Pennsylvania,
whose coming had been looked forward
to with some interest. The negotiations
which were carried forward in the inter.
eat of the respective candidates yester-
day makes it clear that the adhe:onls of
the ak candidates named, Arthur,
Blaine, Edmuuds, Sherman, Logan and
Hawley, have made q fair measure of
their strength and deem that tho present
aspect of the fight warrants them in
standing by their men. The most ardent
friends of Arthur and Blaine do not now
claim for them majority of the Con-
vention. The highest figure mentioned
for Blaine is 33S, the highest for Arthur
325, but the conservative advocates for
each puts the figures for both under 300.
This IS necessary in view of the stand
taken by the Edmunds, Logan and Sher.
man men. The friends Of the Vermont
Senator to day are in high glee over the
possibility of his nomination and con
tend that he has developed unex pccted
strength.
The Virginia delegates, headed by
Senator Malone, arrived Saturday. The
other delegation, with the exception of
Dezendorf, arrived last evening. Gen.
w. &. Wickham was the leader of the
latter party. When asked what he
thought of the action of the National
Committee in getting the Malone dele.
gates seats in the Convention, he said he
was not surprised. The real contest
would be made In the Convention. The
expression here, however, is very gener.
al both in the Blaine and Arthur camps.
that Malone and his followers will be
seated by the Convention.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The Evenino
Stars Chicago special says: To day, for
the first time since Saturday, Arthurs
supporters seem confident of success.
The sentiment OF the crowds for Blaine
has up to o'day been SO general that q
connter.irritant of the New York style

friends of Blaine have made decided

icy and Sherman by parading to-day
their record on the Chinese immigration
bill. Both spoke and voted against it,
and the Pacific coast delegation declare
that the nomination of either would
ensure Republican defeat in every one OF
the Pacific Coast States. Those who are
circulating their records further sdd that
the nomination of either would antago.

The Presidents veto of the "twenty

against him somewhat, although the fact
that he signed the amended bill is claimed
by his friends to be full answer to the
charge that he favored Chinese cheap
labor.
Both parties this afternoon figure ur
the canvass thus: Blaine will lead on the
first ballot with about $50 votes, falling
70 short Of nomination, Arthur's
strength will be about 300, Edmund's s5
