.ETING OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.


MEETING OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
CHICAGO, Nay 31.-The Republican Ma
tional Committee began its sessions at
noon to-day. Chairman d. N. Sahin, OF
Minnesota, presiding. John A. Martin,
OF Kansas, secretary, and George w.
Hooker, Of Vermont. assistant secretary,
were present. All the States and Terrific
reS were, OH calling the roll, found to he
represented, with the exception OF Louisi-
anna, Utah. Florida, and South Carolina.
The following were represented by proX-
les: Delaware, Oregon, Illinois, Penn
sylyanis. Maine, Rhode Island. Tennessee,
Arizona, Washington Territory, Nevada,
and District Of Columbia.
The heat Of the presidential canvass was
very considerably intensified to-day OWING
TO the large influx OF delegates and TO the
presence OF outside forces which are ex-
pected TO play prominent part in shaping
the outcome OF events. About 400 dele
gates have arrived, and have been supple
mented by al insumerable host OF fiankers,
who are at present the most active factors
in the preliminary battling.
THOROUGHLY UNRIHPEEED DELEGATIONS.
1t is conceded that no Convention in the
history Of the party ever was composed OF
delegations more thoroughly unhampered
in the way Of pledges than the present one.
all Of which tends to lend sharp excitement
to the early movements in the fight.
The hotel. to-day for the first time began
to feel the force OF the Convention crush,
and the corridors Of The leading ones were
alive throughout the day with active
workers.
THE SENSATIONAL FEATURE or THE DAY
was the arrival OF California and Nevada
delegations, which made their way from
the depot to their hotels with the accom-
paniment Of martial music. They were
greeted by large crowd In waiting upon
their advent in the Palmer House. A

composed Of George William Curtis, Gene
raj Francis c. Barlow. Frederick &. Hall,
David Allerton, John A. King, Carl Schurz,
Theodore Roosevelt, James ". WadSworth,
and Wharton Barker OF Philadelphia, ar
rived by the PENNSYLVANIA Limited TX
sress at 1880 o'clock. Only portion OF
their number are delegates. They repre-
sent more properly the Republican Con-
ference Committee. On the same train
was a ear containing a number OF senator's
and representatives from the national
capital, whose car was attached at Harris
burg.

a Bomb in the Arthur Camp.

\ staff correspondent OF the PhilaGel-
phia Press blaine organ telegraphS: At
a late hour tonight The Arthur headquar-
tiers were thrown into something OF panic
by the discovery Of serious detection in
the Southwest. It came TO them from a
trustworthy source that Blaine had cap
tured a good part OF the Missouri delega-
ton and sliced off a majority Of the Ar
kansas delcgation-both Of which nave
been counted upon as solid Tor Arthur,
and that Texas had gone. like Maine in the
days OF Governor Kent, in the same direc-
ton.
There is no doubt Of a solid foundation
for the report. The Blame managers have
known it all along, and are only annoyed
that their strength in the Southwest has
been disclosed so early in the day.
Judge Foraker, who is in charge OF the
Sherman boom, views the nights deyel-
opment with considerable alarm, and says
the thing all the other candidates are TO
guard against now is 4 stampede TO Blaine
before second ballot can be had. Gentle
men who have arrived from New York to-
night say positively that Roscoe Conkling
is outspoken for the nomination OF Blaine.

The special correspondent OF the WOrld
Democratic telegraphs: Blaines followers
VIII have their nerves tested during the
next few DAYS. The Arthur people are de-
terrnined to stampede them il possible.
UD TO the present time the Blaine people
have not assumed the aggressive. Ihey
are IN an attitude OF eXpectant, nervous
waiting. The threats OF mysterious pub
licstions were kept up to-day. A panic
was created among some OF the weak
kneed followers OF Blaine by the news that
Mr.. James ID. Warren had two mysterious
tyDe-writeTs hard at work III hls room.
Some think this means mischief. MI. war
rem must have an unusually large piece OF
dynamite in his possession II 1t could NOT
be entrusted to the ordinary means OF
printing. The hair OF the weak-kneed
fairly rose upon their heads at every men
ton Of the type-Writers. IL Is probable
that broadsides are being prepared against
Blaine. In the first place, much is beng
made OF the charge that Blaine l. at heart
a Catholic. and that his sympathles are
with the Catholics. There is an alleged
order called the American Union, an anti
PanaI organization, which has sent out
circulars swearing that the 100000 mem
hers OF this alleged order will bolt Blaine
il he is nominated. Then there are num-
Der OF circulars containing personal attacks
anon his record. All the Arthur men
shout in chorus, Blaine can't carry New
York; "Arthur can raise more money LOT
a canvass than Blaine" and so the talH
goes. The effect OF such persistent decia-
nations is 10 create an uneasy impression.
MATTER-OF.FACT DELEGATES.
There are perhaps one hundred and hity
delegates in Chicago at the present time,
and | find among them more doubts OF
Blaine's ability to be elected II nominated
than Yesterday. One point Is constantly
impressed upon any impartial observer
and that is the lack OF earnestness ana en-
tbusiasm upon the part OF the hackers OF
any candidate. The Arthur people are
only lively and energetic when they are
working against Blaine, but when II comes

date they YEARLY move in tread-mill DIS
course, free from any real NE OF nre'
Flkins and Donaldson, Blaine's leaders,
are apparently the only two enthu-
siasts i'm Chicago. The average deie-
cate is a matter-of-iact individual, VINO
wants TO quietly discuss the situation, so
as n select the man who is best calculated
10 win, rather than to go wild over
some personal predictions. General
Williams, OF Indiana. one OF the delegates
