Estce TO he Permanent Chairman.
Defeat Gives way to Victory.

CHICAGO, June Ism. M. Estee, OF
California, will undoubtedly, from every
indication tonight, be Permanent Chair
man OF the Republican National Conven-
ton. The Pacific Slope men we're beaten
in the matter Of temporary organization,
only to capture this great honor. Estee
will have the distinction OF supplanting
no less man than Warner Miller, the
prospective Republican nominee for
Governor OF New York. BY common
consent Miller was up tonight as the
man for the place. The Republican
leaders here from the start, it
seems, determined to be no whit
behind what the Democrats in
st. Louis did in affording tokens Of ap.
probation OF the power and good will OF
the Pacific Slope. Estee, it also seems
certain tonight, could have had the tenn
porary Craftsmanship, as requested, even
though his friends we're opposing the
friends OF all the candidates with their
cry for Blaine, had it not been for the ex-
traordinary gathering of the clans from
the nearby States, and the pledges Of
these people TO the Nebraska man,
Thurston, who WAS early on the ground.
Stephen B. Elkins said tonight: "Im-
mediately on my arrival here | saw an
inevita Die clash coming between the
friends Of Estee snd Thurston. Tried to
bring about compromise, but could
not" To-day in the meeting of the Ma
tional Committee the clash came, and it
was evident to all present that hard feel
ings was the result. Now" continued
MI. EIkins, 'the majority Of the
Committeeman were anxious to
stop any such trouble, and there
was not a man on the Committee
who would not be glad Of the chance, il
the immediate circumstances had not
prevented, to do the handsome thing by
the Californians, to surpass in TACT what
ever the Democrats did or could do. So
a number OF US haye been around to a
number OF State catcuses and have Sc
cured the pledges Of hearty all the mem
bers Of the Committee on Permanent Or
ganization, to put in Estee OF California,
for permanent chairman of the Conven'
ton. The Pacific Slope deserves to gel
recognition, and everybody is glad the
thing has been done SO we'll"
THE COASTERS ENJOYING THEMSELVES.
Most OF the California delegation ant
Coasters generally, enjoyed them
selves to-day, in parading the streets
with the Kansas City Republican Clut
and the Topeka Flambeau Club. The
committee appointed by the Pacific Coas
meeting yesterday was again in session
this morning. At this meeting, although
Senator Jones opposed any agreement O
| first choice for Blaine, it was practically
agreed that Blaine was the favorite can
didate OF the Pacific Coast, and tha
| tacitly. II was understood that some
such recommendation should be made IL
| the proposed meeting OF the Pacific Coas
delegations at o'clock. The matter o
second choice was also considered by thi
committee, and upon vote taken Gen
eral Alger was mentioned as the probable
residuary legatee Of the Blaine strength
Of the Pacific Coast.
| For some reason, difficult as yet to ex
plain, there was nc. meeting Of the Pacifi
Coast delegations at l o'clock, and th.
was also a failure. After it had beel
discovered that it was impossible to ge
the Pacific Coast or California delegate
together at this time, Senator Jones sal
to the Associated Press reporter; ri d
not suppose concerted action on the par
OF the Pacific Coast delegation is prot

I He said he did not believe that it wa
possible to unite the Pacific Coast dele
CATION for Blaine. He did not thin
Sherman would be nominated, and ha
no idea Of the Pacific Coast delegates G
ing over to Depew. He rather though
that the situation showed they woul
favor either Allison or Senator Harr
son.
"I think I" he said, 'that this is in th
all" but when pressed for reasons, onl
said, "well, that is my diagnosis Of th
CASE"
A prominent member Of the Californi
delegation, one OF the delegates-at-lars
and another district delegate from Cal
: fornia did not agree with the Nevae
!. Senator, and said the Pacific Coast WI
! too much welded to Blaine and the i'd
that he was the only candidate upc
whom the Coast could be heartily unite
to enable Jones and one or two othe
Q who had other results in view to preve
j hearty concurrence in any moveme
which would place the Plumed KING
