The WASHINGTON END.


The WASHINGTON END.

Convention from Afar Off BEFORE the
Result was Reached.

nent presidential aspirants located at
present in Washington surprised eyesy-
body around the capitol by appearing
there bright and early this morning.
They were accompanied by Senator Don
Cameron, of Pennsylvania. This fact
in itself was additional cause for COM
ment, for the reason that until yesterday
afternoon the Pennsy ylvanian senator has
not been trusted by Allison or Sherman.
Late yesterday afternoon they sent for
Don and have been in conference with
him more or less ever since, It was also
at 10 o'clock this morning that Sherman
and Allison, accompanied by Senator'S |
Cameron and Hawley, went up to the
Office OF the secretary OF the senate, |
where he special run for their accom- !
modatlon is located. For three hours |
and half continuously they conversed |
with their Chicago mRnsgeI5. Both |
! understand each other and are working |
jointly. tits said that Mr.. Sherman
| would much prefer to have Blaine re-
ceiye the domination than have it go to
Mckinley az any other Ohio man. IL
Blaine is t oe the choice they want ths
ticket to De Blame end Harrison.
It was given out at the capitol
this afternoon that Elkins & 90.
control 513 votes in the convention
which they can command on any ballot
| that they want for Blaine. The only
reason, it is said, that they haYe not
done it before was that they believed it
policy to give the other aspirants all the
string and time that they wanted before
running their locomotive over them.
They wanted them to get out OF the
way and not remain on the track and be
crushed to death by Blame. There is q
suspicion among the friends OF the new
leaders ID the republican party that the
old wheel horses have combined to crush
others, and assist III the hiagRtiS5 dfpoqq ~
the man from Maine. 1t is stated on
good authority that Allison, Sherman
and Hawley felt bitter against Blaine,
and shat they express themselves as
having been tricked. If Blaine is made
the nominee for first place Sherman will
and is doing all he can to defeat the sell
ectiou OF an Ohio man for his running
mate He was to-day reported to be
especiallys bitter towards Governor
Foraker, and 1t is said that he didn't
want Mckinley nominated for first
place. In any conferences that have
been going on to-day at Chicago the
wishes of both the aspirsnts from Ohio
and Iowa have been known TO the lead
ers. They remained at the capitol until
late hour this morning, when they went
home to dinner.
II Tonight one of MIR. Sherman's triends
, called upon ut his home on K street and
they discussed the outlook. Senator
Sherman stated that he did not want TO
be subjected to any newspaper interview
I and admonished his friend not to quote
him to newspaper men. have IL, how
ever, that Mr.. Sherman was in very
cheerful mood and expressed himself at
