DENVER, June 14.-That portion OF
| the Pacific Coast del CATION consisting
of California, Oregon and Nevada ar
lived in this city at this morning over
The Union Pacific. Most of the dele
gates and visitors are accompanied by
their wives, The party consists of 100
people and the train is composed of
seven sleeoers. dining, commissary and
baggage car, and is without douct the
incest equipped train that ev1r crossed
the continent. On their arrival the del
egation were met by number OF the
Union club and a committee of citizens
who will entertain them, with carriage
drive over the city during the morning
and reception liz the Chamber Of Com
merce this afternoon. They resume
their journey east this afternoon. The
three delegates held meeting yester-
day afternoon at which Il. g, Raymond
was chosen chairman OF the California
delegation. Resolutions were unani-
popsly adopted favoring Mr.. Biaiuef
Tie first place on the national ticket.
Georae De Gold, seer tacy Of the Cali
fornia delegation in conversation upon
Coast is unit for Blaine We want no
other and will have noue other. unless
it is impossible for US to prevail upon
him 10 accept the nomination. We have
thought OF no other man, and have no
second choice, nor have We given the
second place OF the ticget any consld
eratioD.
Charles +. Crocker expressed the same
idea as 10 the choice OF the people OF
the west, and added, while We are all
for Blaine We do not desire to have the
people understand that we viii cast
votes solid for hun on the first ballot.
LIZ Blaine will not accept. we will consult
with our friends in Indiana, New York
aud other States, and will then support
Tie candidate who will have the greatest
Influence in carrying the doubtful
States We have not yet thought of the
Vice, President and will give NO at
sfentiou to this until we have
determined upon a man to fill
the first place. We have only
agne thing to ask of the convention. We
viii pfessntstiae names of NJ. NJ. Estee,
of Nspa. for temporary chairman, and
would like to see him unanimously
elected.
T. IL. D. Faley. chairman of the delega-
ton said: 1--WE 8aut Bla ne. but if we
can't get him we will support the next
best man. But before We express our
choi we will wait and see what Coier-
ado saws, Our interests are Identical.
We are for silver and lead and for pro-
lection. l want to see all delegations
between the Missouri River and Pacific
Ocean unite in favor OF these three,
and intend to use all my efforts 10 Sc
cure this result. As to the ticket nOm-
mated at st. Louis, I think it the
best the Democrats could put
up. Thurman has always beea a
great favorite with US, and think he will
be the means of securing more votes
for the party than any other Democrat
in the country. Ny honest opinion is
that the head of the Democratic ticket
is at the tail"
BARN, chairman of the Oregon dele,
CATION, had nothing to say. except that
they were sill for Blaine. The party ex-
pressed themselves as having had a
most delightful trip.
It was about 8 80 this morning when
the delegation and their friends finished
breakfast and assembled on the depot
platform, at the request of the local
reception committee. who were on hand
with carriages to take the guests over
toe city. When all were embarked the
procession was a quite imposing one,
includiog in the neighborhood OF fifty
carriages and composed of at least $50
people, some had been in Denver before
snd did not join in the parade but drove
to some special point in which they
were interested. A sufficient number |
however. to make a pro- |
cession seyer raj blocks in length 4!
A couple of hours were spent |
in the drive which included |
the principal business and residence !
streets. The court house, the high !
school building, the new Denver club |
building. the Opera house. Tabor, Barth |
and Barclay blocks, aud other hand |
some buildings and residences. The
formal reception at the Chamber of
Commerce this afternoon was given up |
on account of the lack of time for prep
ara ion, fond because OF the fatigue OF
the excursioDists. The remainder OF
the day was spent in visiting friends
Or driving in the suburbs. When the
time of departure arrived at 8 clock,
several hundred citizens and unmbeF
Of Republican clubs had assembled on
the platform with brass bands. and as
he train pulled out the Pacific sleepers
were given a rousing farewell by their
Denver friends, bota Republican, and
Democrats. They expect to arrive in
chicago at 10 80 Saturday morning.
