CHICAGO, June 14.-Patrick Egan, ex
President of the Irish National League
and delegate-at-large from Nebraska, ar
rived today. He says Of the ten mem
bers OF the Nebraska delegation, seven
are for Blaine, one for Alger, and one
each for Gresham and Sherman. He
says: "Should no choice be reached after
few ballots, should not be surprised
| il Blaine was then nominated"
Speaking of Ford's statement in con-
nection with Blaine and the Irish-Amer-
lean votes, he said: "Of what is called
the Irish votes, to the number of about
seventy thousand in the State OF New
York, the greater part was given to the
Republican ticket because it represented
protection to American industry. Mr..
Blaine would undoubtedly get votes that
no other candidate would draw. How
ever, any Republican candidate on
protection platform will poll large Irish
vote. They will not support free trade"
Sherman headquarters was formally
opened to-day with lavish display of
bunting, and continuous procession Of
visitors, among whom was w. t.
Brownlow. member of the National
Committee from Tennessee. He said:
"Sherman will start with far greater
vote than any other candidate. The
Blaine sentiment is mostly among men
who have axes to grind"
Governor Charles Foster, Of Ohio, is
one OF the latest arrivals. He says:
Sherman will be nominated and
elected"
Speaking of Governor Alger, Mr.. Fra
ger, Of Detroit, said: "The nominee of
this Convention must be good Repub-
lican, tried statesman and a brave SOL
dier. That is the kind Of man we pro-
pose to offer. Michigan has no second
choice.'
The arrivals of ex-senator Kellogg and
Ex-Governor Yarmouth, of Louisiana,
has given rise to rumors Of accessions to
the boom of Senator Ingalls,, of Kansas.
Mr.. Kellogg was seen this evening and
said; 1.-The South has no intention of
forcing a Presidential boom, but we
have the best of feelings for Ingalls,
and can say that from Louisiana he
will receive at least three votes. Loui-
isiana feels kindly toward ingalls, for
his noble attack on Democratic political
tactics as they were carried out in our
section"
Mrs. John A. Logan has entered the
canvass for Governor Alger with her old
time energy, spiced with tinge of bit
terness toward other candidates. This
new element is likely to create good
deal OF bitterness, and it has already
caused CONSERVATION in more than one
delegation. Mrs. Logan, on her arrival
at the Grand Pacific, was waited upon by
members of the Chicago Veterans
Union and given hearty reception. She
had a word and handshake for every old
soldier. In speaking to newspaper men,
who crowded about her, she paid high
tribute to Alger. She says: "He has
always been honorable in his dealings.
The people say he is unknown. The reason
for that is that he has not antagonized any
body. He has not abused other Repub-
licans. This is more than can be said of
some other candidates in the field. am
fair enough to believe that Blaine is hon.
est, but think he is out OF the race"
"What do you think of the chances of
The party?"
"My opinion may not be worth much,
but if Alger is nominated he will be
elected. He is strong with the soldiers,
and safe, careful, honest man, who is
true to his friends. A man who is true
to his friends can be relied upon for his
countryn
