CONCERNING THE COASTERS.
OsbOrne's Hard
WOrk-The Friends of Blaine.

CHICAGO, June 20.-Osborne, of Los
Angeles, California, member Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, is working hard
to secure the incorporation of plank on
the Chinese and silver questions, that
will be satisfactory to the California dele
gates and all the people on the Pacific
Coast.
81 can safely say" said Osborne this
afternoon, "that we will secure the
adoption OF an anti-Chinese plank that
will be in every way satisfactory to the
Coast. Chinese labor will be denounced
in strong terms, and the resolutions will
recommend the enactment of any legis-
lation that may be needed to keep out
Chinese labor.
LAS to silver, the resolutions will con-
tain a moderate plank. 1t may not be
quite as strong as some of us people on
the Coast desire, but it will be a great
step in the right direction"
The California delegation have received
good many dispatches from the coun-
try urging them to stand to their colors.
The effect is to intensity the excitement
in that delegation, which is divided as to
the policy to pursue. The Chairman and
Younger members are anxious to put
Blaine in nomination, but the majority,
in compliance with the request Of old
friends of the man from Maine, advise
waiting until the other candidates
have had chance.
This afternoon the Kentucky delega-
ton sent to the California headquarters a
large, fine, steel portrait of Henry Clay,
addressed to Creed Raymond, Chair
man.
1t is reported among the Blaine men
that California agreed to vote for STAN
ford on the preliminary ballots in order
to save their effectiveness for the Blaine
movement at a time agreed upon. DE
Young of California says these reports
are not true that while the delegates of
the Pacific Coast are all for Blaine, they
do not exactly agree upon what to do at
first.
"When l arrived in Chicago, / an
nounced that would put the name of
James G. Blaine in nomination ii no one
else would, and nothing has occurred to
change my determination, said Creed
Raymond, of California, to a reporter.
"The Coast delegates are unit for
Blaine, have no second choice, and will
start and finish with him, and mark my
word. the Coast will be the winner at the
finish. can't say now who will place
Blaine's name before the Convention.
This l will assert, though, our people
will vote for him from the first, and Cali
fornia will see to it that our Henry of
Navarro" is properly introduced to those
who admire and love him."
"Will YOU nominate Blaine ?"
81 don't desire to make myself con-
spicuous, but if necessity comes | will.
L.. Ill 10 ,,o,,,;,,ataJ and x,OtaJ for
from the start"
Delegate Beamish, OF California, is one
OF the number OF the delegation who
ating Blaine. His view of the matter is
that an aggressive course by the dele
CATION would ALLEVIATE Blaine voters il
the popular nominatian, but also in max
ing the nomination. "Let some other
State have the honor of placing Blaine s
name before the Convention. We want
Blaine but the glory OF our orators is a
secondary consideration"
On the authority of a Coast delegate it
may be stated that Senator Jones, Of
Nevada, is an erring brother. When
Blaine is out OF the race, or possibly be-
fore the man from Maine is entered,
senator JOU6S tuuIli dllOu lOI EocHdlOI
Sherman will assert itself, and his vote
and influence will become the property
of Ohio.
The California delegation had caucus
at which S. B. Elkins, the near friend OF
Blaine, was invited. What was accom-
plished in the caucus is a secret,
but, according to the author
ity OF Creed Raymond, who
unwittingly gave it away, the counsel OF
Elkins prevailed, and circumstances will
determine whether or not Blaine's name
will be presented formally. When Hay
mond said this he was not aware that re-
porter was at his elbow. He Immediately
in response to a question, said :
''What l said TO you this morning still
holds good, and here are some documents
to prove it. The course OF the Slope
men is approved generally" Mr.. Hay
mond here exhibited the following
