me conference of anti-Blaine men has
agreed not to present any candidate for the
support OF the opposition. Indeed, it is
unable to agree upon candidate. There is a

bialne himself. The plan of the opposi-
ton is simply to stand firm and wait for
Blame himself to speak, or his representa-.

II Blame does not settle the matter the

Inc convention cannot sincerely go about

gramme OF stampeding the Convention. be-
cause he has heard authoritatively from
Blaine. Thus deadlock will appear, and
unless Blaine himself cuts the knot and
sets the Convention free to act upon its own
responsibility, the Convention NAV sit for
several days without reaching a solution of
the extraordinary difficulty by which il is
now surrounded. There has been
MUCH TALK OF M'KINLEY.
AS dark horse. There is no doubt that
mckinley has made fine impression and
is popular on bis own account, but it has
oeen noticed that those who were doing all
III their power TO press him to the front
were Blaine men. In the conference of
candidates Blaine's influence has been ex-
erted IN favor of Mckinley as the leader of
the opposition forces, all the anti Blaine
men III the Convention concentrating their
strength upon him. This effort to induce
otner candidates TO withdraw and bring
Mckinley forward as a dark horse takes
their place.
BLAINE WILL BE NOMINATED
The logic of this is easily perceived
Blaine cannot in honor take this nomipa-
ton if secured by running over candidates
who entered the field and did the best thev
could for themselves, buff these candidates
voluntarily withdraw and a dark horse
takes their place no obligation rests upon
Blaine as to the newcomer who has not
been candidate and whose friends have
put forth no efforts in his behalf, on the
supposition that Blaine was out of the
race.
An effort has also been made bv the
Blaine people to get Foraker to stand as
dark horse, and Foraker has posed before
the Convention with that purpose in view,
on the distinct understanding that if the
anti-Baine influence could be induced to
rally about him Blaine was to beat him.
but the Vice-Presidency being his reward.
An effort has also been made to play
upon the ambition of Mckinley, but with
out success. Mckinley has been loyal to
Sherman.
An effort has also been made to bring
Cullom forward as dark horse, thus de-
stroying Gresham, and in due time SINH
lar effort may be made to undermine Har-
rison by playing upon the ambition of ex-
Governor Porter. At one time on Satur-
day there was some prospect OF the Nc
kinley programme succeeding, and Sher-
man had really released the Ohio delega-
ton from its obligation to him. The Blaine
men were tanning the Mckinley blaze, but
they overplayed the game and were de-
tected. Sherman withdrew his withdrawal.
His representatives here denied that he had
retired from the race, and the Senator him
self was interviewed in Washington to the
same effect.
