CHICAGO, June 24.-The Blaine managers
work tomorrow by nominating Blaine and
Harrison or Blaine and Alger. Their pres
ent programme is to take ballot or two
in the morning to demonstrate that the re-
manning candidate or candidates cannot be
nominated and then take a recess nominal
ing Blaine and whoever may be picked out
to run with him at the succeeding session.
The only thing which can be foreseen to-
night as likely to prevent this programme
from being carried out, if, indeed, Blaine
is not nominated at the morning session,
is that the anti-Blaine mon may
insist on trying to nominate
some new victim of their desire to beat
Blaine. They have between 100 and 200
votes for such purpose, although less than
100 would vote directly against Blaine, and
they may insist ON trying one man after
another until several days more have been
consumed. The Blaine managers are conf
dent of their ability to prevent the nomi-
alton of anybody but Blaine, and are
willing to let the anti-Blaine men try every
candidate they please. They are the more
willing, that such futile efforts supports
their pretense that Blaine, although he
is not candidate, must
be forced to accept the nomination which
no one else can get. The anti4Blainites
seem to begin to realize their helplessness,
but seemed resolved to fight pluckily to the
end. Some of them talk of preparing
WRITTEN PROTEST
against Blaine's nomination. They say
they think they could get $50 signatures to
it. They probably could not get one-third
of that number, but acting upon the advice
of cooler heads, they probably will not take
any steps toward preparing such excellent
democratic campaign material. The anti
Blaine men have had to drop Mckinley,
upon whom they thought yesterday of
uniting. Ohio would not stand by him.
Foraker and Foster, both Blaine men and
both candidates with Mckinley for the
United States senate, would not allow it,
and SO would not, although Sherman tele-
graphed his willingness to withdraw in Nc
Kinley's favor. Mckinley found that he
could not command ten votes in the Ohio

gotten them all the solemn declaration
promptly made by the California dele
gates that his vote to sustain Hayes veto
of tine anti-Chinese immigration bill would
prevent his carrying the Pacific coast,
would have of itself sufficed to shut him
out The fact that he has nothing but his
protection record to run upon hurt him in
the northwestern delegations. which find
the platform heavy enough load to carry.
The anti-Blaine men turned tonight
TO SHERMAN AGAIN,
and are trying to galvanize the dead boom
with which they began operations here.
They talk about getting 300 votes for Sher-
man. 1t is difficult to SEQ how they can get
so many. 1t is still more difficult to see
how they can get any more. The Blaine
managers will now stimulate the Harrison
and Alger booms again in order to kill Off
Sherman again. With Sherman killed Off
again, it is difficult to see where the anti
Blaine men can find another subject for
their combinations. They may try Allison
again of course Their only hope lies now
in some foolish blunder or untoward acct
dent among the Blaine men.
Elkins, Powell, Clayton and r. c. Kerns,
the Blaine triumvirate, have been able so
far to prevent blunders and avoid acct
dents. With the great majority of
the convent II behind them on a de-
cisive vote, and, with large
representation in every delegation,
they feel that they have only to wait till
the other fellows are thoroughly tired out,
when they can put their last move through
OF course they could have nominated
Blaine on any ballot last week, as they
could on the first ballot Of tomorrow, II he
was formal candidate. His case requires
all the diplomacy they are expanding so
skillfully upon it. The New York delega-
ton, with the big four, Platt, Depew.
Miller aud Hiscc ok at the head, give them
more trouble than any other delega-
ton. Its leaders all want to be
on the winning side, and so are taking
all sorts of rash steps, as, for
