remarked that Thurman has always
been a law and order man. The speaker
lagain referred to the rebel flag, and its
former defeat, aAd made an eloquent
reference to the capabilities of Blaine as
a leader. He continued: I'VE were told
that we would have to come here
Land ballot six or seven times
and. then when it was evident there
could not be any choice, Blaine could
be sprung; but that is not the way it is
State on the roll and the first Republi-
can State, and when California is
called l will nominate Blaine, ii 10 enc
else does, and 1 want to see what Re
publican will dare to vote aaalnst
Ihin. The Blaine OF Maine has writ
ten some letters, but JinL BiaiLe,
of California, will eccep'. Raymond
said If Blaine was IN his grave. toe God
who preserved this country in It's DAYS
of peril from aimed rebellion, would
send him back to save his country.
After Mr.. Haymond's speech there
was great Blaine demonstration in
Laland's corridor. after which the dele
gales dispersed to their rLoms.
The round face and rotuud form of
Alfred Croker, vice president CT Central
| Pacific Railway Company, was recog-
nized by score of friends as he climbed
down from the steps of the sleeper
CASTLE" with Delegate E>tes, who m the
Coasters want to be made tempor-
airy chairman of the convention.
Estee and De Young are leading sp rits
in the Blaine movement in the Pacirc
lCoast delegation. There appears to be
ASS certainty about the stability of the
Pacific Coast Blaine boom than about
the unanimity of the support given to
LMr. Estee's candidacy. Since the train
Fhas crossed the Missouri, some of the
deleg ates have begun to talk of lack
of harmony on the Blaine question, and
to say that at the Conference in Wyom-
ing all did not agree absolutely to
stand by jaime, whether CT no. They
say tHe aine solution was only a
make-sHlft to all. There were but two
of the Oregon delegates, and but two of
the Nevada men who were present, aud
they declare that new light may be
she'd On the delegates which may en-
tirely change tier minds. But MR.
De Young and the decided majority of
the delegation will not admit that there
| is the slightest hitch with the Blaine
movement. Upon one point, however,
all agree, that whatever action is taken
by the Pacific Cost delegation, it will
be taken as unit.
When the delegates and their friends
| who have made the trip with them
don't talk politics and convention, they
became enthusiastic over the trip from
he coast. They have all the way kept
| with the itinerary card, which is, by
| tbs way, very artistic specimen of the
engravar's and printer g art. On the
front is a picture of Chicago from
lake front, with the train of cars
bearing the Pacific Coast delegation
coming iuto the city. On the head
light of the engine is a tiny
diamond, to represent the fame of
the lamp. On the second page is q
scene of the procession of the California
delegation being escorted to the depot,
on its wav out. artistically forming the
letter G.. the inside sheet contains the
time of arrival and departure of the
special train at the different points of
the journey. On the back cover, typi-
flying the loyalty of the coasters, what
ever may happen, is a comic sketch of
delegate f1inging his hat in the air,
ard beneath the sketch the legend,
I'Hurrah for -" Each of the ex-
cursionlsts is furnished with one OF
these as memento OF the trip.
Senator Foley, of Nevada, who Joined
the party at Reno, New, says that this
little bit of pasteboard is the prettiest
thing of the kind he has ever seen on
such trip. This is the Senator's fourth
trip as delegate to a national conven-
ton.
