CHICAGO, June 23.-The Blaine managers
allowed the convention to take two per-
functory ballots this morning in order to
demonstrate that Harrison was out of the
race, and then when Harrison had shown
his full strength adjourned until O'Clock
in the afternoon. While he was leaving
the hall, Chauncey M. Depew said: eve
will nominate Blaine when we meet again.
We are pretty well agreed, except Indiana.
Indiana will have until o'clock to make
up her mind. 1t was apparent then that
the combination against Blaine had all
come to naught. The senatorial combina-
ton on Allison came to nothing, be-
cause the Sherman and the Gresham
leaders could not deliver the votes. 1t
served the purpose of procuring an adjourn
ment without ballot last evening, SO
breaking the backbone of the Harrison
combination, which had determined to push
Harrison through last night. The Blaine
managers, backing skillfully stimulated the
Harrison movement, turned in at the last
moment with the Alhson-Sherman-Gr Ores
ham managers and carried the adjourn
ment, which
POSTPONED HARRISON'S HOPES
indefinitely. IN order that there might
be no doubt, however, as to Har-
rison's being as much beaten as
Gresham, Sherman or Alger. the two ballots
of this morning were provided for. When
they were over it was apparent to the dulleSt
observer that there was no one left to romi
nate but Blaine. Allison had not been
formally and generally set aside, but the
combination in his favor had fallen to
pieces. Mckinley and Foraker still feebly
joined the other dark horses, but the former
ian original Blaine man, by the wayJ had
solemnly announced that the delegate who
voted for him threw suspicion on his in
tegrity, and the one vote cast for Foraker
by erratic Kentucky on the same ballot in
which itgave Fred Douglas one, was prompt
ly withdrawn. The Blaine managers had
carried out their skillful plans SO dexter
ously that in spite of his letters and inter
views, Blaine was about to be nominated.
The only question seemed to be how best to
DO it. SO as to keep up the westerners, under
which the Blaine managers had been oper-
ating, until the moment for the
SPONTANEOUS DEMAND FOR BLAINE
as the only possible saviour of the repub-
llcan party should arrive, the Blaine enthu-
Slasm be let loose and the execution of their
scheme be consummated. Walker Blaine
left his place in the right-hand box
upon the adjournment with smile on his
face. Poor Mrs. Logan, who really believed
In Alger, went away sorrowful.
THE OUTCOME OF THE CONFERENCE.
CHICAGO, June %, 7:40 p. M-Between 10
o'clock and the opponents of Blaine spent
most of their time trying to effect a combi-
nation with the friends Of other candidates.
kilograms setting forth the situation were
sent to Sherman and Allison and Alger
while Gresham was consulted here. The
anti-Blaine senators were especially active
In these negotiations. They were still fig
uring on some combination with Allison,
and as an alternative upon some other COM
Dlnation, Or Mckinley as the most promis-
|lng dark horse. Allison and Mckinley, or
McKinley and Allison, were the two tickets
lnost talked about. All that
Fhey had agreed upon, however,
'hen O'Clock arrived was that it would be
pest to postpone the next ballot until Mon
ay morning, partly to complete their com
nation and partly to give the convention
me to think These anti Blaine men really
eslre the party to make the best possible
omlnation, and oppose Blaine because they
eieve he would be the weakest candidate
nat could be nominated. They think the
onvention would agree with them il it
ould take sober second thought. The
laine managers, conscious of their strength
pa anxious to play their part out to the end,
caring out one candidate after another,
htil none is left but Blaine, quietly con-
ented to the proposed adjournment. New
ork was the only Blaine delegation of any
nsequence that
