CHICAGO, June 24.-This has been a
quleter Sabbath than the last. The
great crowd has been thinned out, the
lObbies have been cleared, the mobs dis
persed, the hurrahs are out of the lungs,
and it is to be hoped that the senses
have returned to the brains of the ex-
cited multitude. Taking advantage
OF the flag of truce hoisted yesterday aft
ernoon, the contending forces have been
resting in their camps to-day, while
their leaders have been maturing new
plans for the reopeuing of the campaign
tomorrow. The fact is, Blaine would
have been nominated yesterday after
noon if the ballOting had gone on. but
the Blaine managers didn't realize it
until after the adjournment. They had
been outwitted by Sherman's man
ayers, who held out the idea that
they were in correspondence with
their candidate and were await
ing his reply to some questions
they had propounded to him, and which
might result in withdrawing his name
Monday. Gov. Foster had previously
said that if Sherman ever did with
draw, the Ohio delegation would swing
into line for Blaine. Believing that
Sherman would be induced to with
draw, all the original Blaine men, ex-
cept the New York delegates, voted for
adjournment. Tom Platt hates the
ground that John Sherman walks
on, and refused to credit the
sincerity of his managers when
they held out the idea that he was to be
withdrawn. Platt evidently knew his
man, for within fifteen minutes after
the adjournment Sherman telegraphed
his managers to fight it out. There has
been an attempt here to-day to reform
the Gresham lines under new leader
ship, but they are too badly demoralized
ever to get the force in fighting trim
again. G. II. M.

a Count of Noses of the Friends of
Blaine

CHICAGO, June 24.-J. III. Manley, of
the Maine delegation, was asked if the
Maine people were urging the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Blaine. He replied. emphat-
ically: ''No. The Maine delegation
has taken the ground that Mr.. Blaine
could not and would not accept the NOM
ination unless it. was rendered to him
with practical unanimity." He belle we'd
: Mr.. Blaine would stand by his Paris
letter. The rumor that cable
gram had been read from Blaine,
in the Blaine meeting. or that
one had been received from him, could
not be confirmed by any one of the half
dozen gentlemen who emerged from the
meeting up to 1915. One Of the gentle
men intimated that the meeting was for
the purpose of effecting an org rganiZation
of Blaine's friends, to be prepared for
any emergency that might arise in the
convention tomorrow. There has been
a counting of noses. and it was found
that the number that could be
depended upon at this juncture
was not over $50: 1t had
been supposed by the Blaine manage rs

themselves unreservedly to Blaine.
Among those present in the meeting
were S. B. Elkins, r. j. Kerens, ID. B.
Fessenden, G. A. Boutelle, John S.
Wise, B. F. Jones, Joseph b. Manley
and M. 81. De Young. The meeting
was presided over by Creed Raymond.
1t was nearly 1880 before the meeting
finally adjourned. A few of the chief
leaders, including Elkins-presumab
a subcommittee ee-immediately began

mains in session, it is understood, is in

left the room hurriedly and soon re-
turned with S. j. Fessenden and j. G.

tiOn Ceases Temporarily.
CHICAGO, June 24.-The schism
which had assumed alarming proper
tions in the Ohio delegation. last night
and which was referred to at length in
these dispatches, has been bridged over.
Peace reigns and the Ohio delegation
will tomorrow present an unbrokeu
front for John Sherman. From investi-
cation, however, this does not mean
adherence to the Ohio senator for more
than three ballots, and under certain
conditions not that long. Gov. Foraker
said tonight: 81 suppose you
know that the Ohio delegation
will stick to Sherman as be-
fore. The matter has resolved itself
down to five candidates, and tomorrow
there will be voted for Sherman, Har-
rison, Alger, Allison, Gresham and pos
sibly Mckinley, though l am not posi-
tive as to the latter. / understand that
no Blaine movement will be made for
several ballots, if one is made at all.
Will there be nomination tomorrow?
Yes. though l am not prepared to say
who it will be-"

sent any candidates for the support of
the opposition: indeed, it is unable to
agree upon candidate. There is deep
feeling on all sides that the Blaine-or-
bust programme is not sanctioned by
MIR. Blaine himself. The plan of the
opposition, therefore, is simply to stand
firm and wait for Mr.. Blaine himself to
speak, or for his assured representa-
tives to force the issue. The feeling is
that If Mr.. Blaine does not settle the
matter the convention will have to set
tie it; and that the convention cannot
go honestly and sincerely about the
business of choosing leader as long as
this Blaine specter hangs over it.

CHICAGO, June 24.-The political sit
uation is just as mixed tonight, and the
final outcome just as uncertain as at any
time since the delegates began to as
semble. To-day has brought only
clearer understanding of the conditions
under which this remarkable contest is
to be fought out. Gradually it has
dawned upon the convention that GER
tain men, pretending to represent Mr..
Blaine, have determined to prevent the
nomination of any other candidate in
order to make Blaine's nomination
possibility. Their aim has been to kill
off one candidate after another till none
of the original aspirants remained. This
programme has been repeatedly de-
scribed in these dispatches, but the con-
ventiOn as a whole has just
awakened to full realiZa-
ton of the negative influence
which has all along prevented
crystalliZation of sentiment and a nomi-
nation. The friends of all the other
candidates are indignant that the con-
vention should be thus dominated by
an influence which, without an avOwed
candidate oS its own, attempts first to
push sincere candidates to the front and
then defeat them. So much feeling has
developed on this score that various
cablegramS have been sent Mr.. Blaine,
besides those which he is supposed to
receive from Elkins and Phelps. In
these dispatches the actual condition of
affairs here has been fully described
and the bad feeling and probable de-
moraliZation of the party if his repre-
sentattves are permitted to continue
their tactics carefully pointed out.
There is general belief that some dis
patch from Mr.. Blaine will be read to
the convention tomorrow, probably one
requesting his friends to refrain from
voting for him.

The PROPOSED aL4BRARF.-Some
years ago Mrs. Stamps died and left
a will, bequeathing to the city of
Brennan, with J. s. Norton as trus-
tet, $500 forthe purpose of found
ing a spiritual library, and one third
Of a league Of land for the purpose
of building public hall for the use
of spiritualists in Brennan. 2S3
volume have been purchased and
some 5000 still remain together with
1900 acres, of the land, which, is
worth from So to S. per acre It
has been suggested that this fund
be combined with such as can be
raised otherwise to build public
hall and buy library, The -beauest
is very broad and allowsBthe trustee
absolute discretion. He is perfectly
willing to join in measure like
this, The land could probably be
sold for enough to erect aheat build
ing, and by combining the spiritual
library with the circulating library,
and securing subscriptions towards
buying other works we would soon
have very respectable collection of
books, besides a public hall for So
cial gatherings ,of, various kinds. 1t
is to be hoped that the suggestion
will be'acted on at once. EggTsN p
