CHICAGO, June 20.-[Special Know
ing ones say challenge will pass before
night for bull dog pistol fight between
Wise of Virginia and Billy Malone of
Virginia. But one morning paper has
an account of the fight in the credential
committee, and the knowledge is Gre
ating much excitement among the del
egates. This mornings fight began by
Wise saying something to Malone in
an undertone, which the latter imme-
diately resented, and a fight began.
Chairs, tables and other light furniture
were prominent actors until a police
mans presence was solicited, when
quiet was restored. The doorkeeper,
when asked about it, said a man had
suddenly become unconscious while
speaking and a policeman had been
called to procure ice water. 1t is given
out this morning that the Malone del
egatiOn will be seated. The weather is
very hot and enthusiasm at low ebb.

FoRAKER,s puP1ICITY.
He Makes a Speech Using scurrilous
Scoundrels.


CHICAGO, June 2O.-[Special. .EGOv.
Foraker, of Ohio, has doubtless been an
element of discOrd in the Sherman
ranks. While nominally for Sherman
himself, his friends are openly against
Sherman and Sherman's friends are
doubtless very suspicious of Foraker.
Yesterday the Foraker Club of COlum-
bus, headed by brass band, and wear
ing Foraker badges, were around doing
a general serenade business, calling at
various State headquarters. They also
serenaded Gov. Foraker and the Gov
enor used some violent language that
has very much angered Ben. Butter
worth, Gen. Grosvernor and Others of
Sherman's more enthusiastic friends.
During FOraker's speech to the club,
and amid an immense jam at the Ohio
headquarters, Foraker asked for three
cheers for John Sherman in the follow
ing language: 81 want to shame every
coward and scurrilous scoundrel who
has been insinuating that we are not
loyal to John Sherman"

Additional Speculations on Results.

CHICAGO, June 21.-California ap-
pears to have gained all she wanted by
securing the permanent Chairman, and
Blaine talk is at low ebb this morning.
1t is now universally understood that
his name will not be presented or even
considered, unless.in case of dead lock.
The Tribune this morning is booming
Gresham very strong. 1t claims he
made very large gains yesterday and
last night. For my part 1 can see no
possible signs of any such gains, can
not see that Sherman,has either lost or
gained. 1 think he is about holding
his own. The signs this morning indi-
cate that Alger is losing ground, and
his friends have.cOmmenced to look out
for second place for him, and to make
combinations ls%%I note few gains for
Harrison, andJthere is more talk for
Allison, of Iowa, than have yet heard.
Everything indicates this noon that the
first ballot will not be taken today, but
if at all it will be very late. The lead
ers claim theyswant to get away tomor-
row, but many delegates say, Saturday
will about see the end of this Conven-
ton. The excitement is intense, but
everything seems like chaos.

CHICAGO, June 19.-2P. M.-[Special. !
Chaos aptly describes the situation
up to now. Ihaye made the rounds of
all the headquarters, and all make
claims of gains. Positive opposition
to Depew has developed in the west,
and he dropped to third place. The
situation as it now looks is: Sherman
first, Harrison second, Depew third,
Allison fourth and Alger fifth. The
Blaine forces are all lying low, but it is
conceded that if they SO desire, they
can deadlock the convention.

Ohio organized last evening, Cover
nor Foraker was selected as chairman
and Asa Bushnell, his close friend, was
made Secretary. Major Mckinley was
elected member of the committee on
resolutions, Ben Butterworth vice pres
ident of the convention, Charles Foster
member of the committee on credetials
and General William Gibson member
of the committee on rules and order of
business, Col. Conger, of Akron, was
reelected National Committeeman for
Ohio. Mckinley, Foster, Foraker and
others made speeches.

for Vice President, nnless Blaine should
get the nomination. Sherman's friends
in the Ohio delegation will go for either
Alger, Harrison or Gresham in prefer
ence to Foraker. In case the nomina-
tion for President goes west, William
Walter Phelps, of New Jersey, is the
most likely candidate for Vice.

A Large and Noisy Crowd.

CHICAGO, June 19.-[Special,l Never
before in the history of Chicago has
there been such a jam as is seen here
today. All other former jams pale
their insignificant noises beside this
noisy crowd. The Chicago convention
or 1868, when General Grant was first
nominated for President, was the big
gest crowd ever before seen in this city,
but this crowd jostling each other on
the streets this morning is beyond all
question the largest by far, ever before
congregated in any city of the West
And still they come. Every train adds
to- wild excitement and in extricable
confusion. 1t is estimated thatno less
than 10000 people are here from Ohio
alone. The Cleveland, o., delegation
came in early this morning with nine
coaches, all full. They had each car
decorated with broad streamer, say
ing: eve are from Cleveland, but not
for Cleveland" One of the number was
told when they returned from Chicago
they would certainly be for Cleveland.

to have considerable force, and it has
evidently weakened John Sherman by
taking away several delegates from

WHY CALIFORNIA OPPOSES SHERMAN.
The biggest and bitterest opposition
to John Sherman comes from California
