DAVIS THREAT.
The Young Egotist Is Handling a
Funny Kind of a Club.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 17.-An amusing fea-
ture of the contest for the Craftsmanship
is the defiant threat of Davis friends
that in case he is defeated he will refuse
to make speech in the convention,
and Minnesota will fail to reap the
glory they are confident will be won by
his brilliant oratory. O'Brien's friends
laugh at the threat, and say that it is
the swell-head and not eloquence that
Davis is afflicted with. 1t is apparent
from the size of the room set apart for
Minnesota headquarters that the con-
ventlon managers did not expect
ANY BIG WORK
from Minnesota. 1t is contracted de-
partment 16x16, an ordinary hotel bed
chamber, and as they forgot to remove
the bed and furniture, there isn't much
space for the fourteen delegates and
fourteen alternateS to move around in.
When they have caucus they have to
hold it in sections. The Iowa headQuar-
tiers is IN very pleasant contrast with
the Minnesota apartments. The Iowa
delegates are quartered in the ladies'
ordinary. AllisOn's friends are not par
simonious, for the bunting and floral
decorations of the Iowa quarters are the
finest ever saw. The Iowa delegates
held public reception in their magnifi-
cent quarters all day and the room was

HOW GOES PENNSYLVANIA e?
Most of the Delegates Will Vote
for Sherman

CHICAGO, June H. Senator John
Sherman's name will be presented to
the convention by Adjt. Gen. Hastings,
of Pennsylvania. Some doubt of this
has been suggested during the past
forty-eight hours upon the assumption
that United States Senator Quay had
agreed to the importunation of Phila-
delphia delegates, who wanted to stand
well with Mayor Filter, of the Quaker
City, to allow the state to give Filter
complimentary vote. ''There is nothing
in the Filter movement except Phila-
delphia politics." said one of the Penn
sylvania delegates at large tonight;
and one of the Philadelphia del
egates, who will vote for Filter
because of local pressure, said:
'sFitler will get the Philadelphia
vote, few from the state and two
or three from Florida and other states
because of personal friendship of de-
tached delegates for some of the Phila-
delphia delegates. Sherman will get
more than half of the states vote on the
first ballot, and eventually probably
fifty-five of the sixty votes of the state.
If Sherman should be nominated, Sem
ator Quay will probably be chosen as
the member of the national committee
from Pennsylvania and become chair
man of that body" The delegates
from Pennsylvania, who are naturally
supposed to be Blaine men, say that it
will be impossible to stampede the del
egates now for Blaine, and that Penn
sylvania will stand by Sherman for as
many ballots as there are hopeful ballots
for his nomination. Senator Quay was
busy to-day and held several important
conference with the Sherman leaders,
and has hopes of modifying the Pacific
coast delegations opposition to Sher-
man, but with no success, SO far as can
be learned. The Pacific coasts Oppo-

The Pacific Coast Men Solid for

CHICAGO, June 17.-There are evi-

delegation. Senator Jones, of Nevada.
who was made chairman of the commit
tee appointed this afternoon to arrange
for general conference of the delegates
west of the Missouri river, said tonight
that it was doubtful whether the Paclflc
coast delegates would vote as a unit
upon the presidency. There was no
doubt tnat all of the coast states and
Colorado would be solid for Estee for
temporary chairman.and there is good
prospect OF his selection. The impress
sion, however, he said, that Blaine
would in any event get the solid vote OF
the Pacific coast, was scarcely to be de-
pended upon, and he did not think that
Blaine's nomination was possi-
bic. 1t was true that Sherman
would get no votes from the
Pacific states, and it was possible that
Gresham would get some votes there,
but not many. Allison. Alger or Har-
rison might be agreed upon, but it was
doubtful, in any event, whether the
scheme of solidifying the Pacific states
on any candidate could be accom-
plished. Senator Jones thinks that
Sherman's nomination is a possibility,
but not probable, and is of the opinion
that the nominee will be one of the other
candidates now in the field or some

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Republican
hosts took rest to-day as preparation
for the anxiety and toll which is before
them during the next few days. By a
kind of common consent the booming

sons was suspended, and the silken
badges which indicated that the wearer

were numerous in the parks, on the
boulevards and on the decks Of the

the lake. The only headquarters that
contained crowd throughout the day
were those of the California, at the
Leland. Here open house was kept.
One band after another was pressed into
service until for hours there was no III
termissiOn in the music, and from soon
after breakfast until long after supper
one continuous stream of people passed
through the apartment, stopping long
enough at the improviSed counter to

DAKOTA ARRIVES,
And Commences Work at Once for
Ten Delegates.


Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 17.-The full Dakota
delegation came in to-day and were
quartered in parlor Z at the Grand Pa
cific. The first thing they did was to
send out runners to chase down the
national committee and ascertain what
status Dakota would occupy in the con-
vention with her ten delegates. Assur-
ance was given that the ten persons
claiming to be delegates would he ad-
mitted to seats on the floor during the
temporary organization, but that the
territory would only be permitted to
CAST TWO VOTES.
Beyond this the committee did not
feel authorized to make any promises,
but the belief is general that the status
fixed for Dakota during the temporary
organization will be continued under
the permanent organization; that is ten
delegates with one-ffth of a vote. So
that really nothing will come of the
effort to increase the Dakota vote in the
convention, except the admission of
eight persons to the floor who are not
entitled to the courtesy.
In the absence of everything in the
way of convenience in the Minnesota
quarters, Bob Evans uses a big plate
glass mirror in the room for a bulletin
board. He writes the caucus calls on
the mirror with piece of soap. Bob is
an expert

and does some very handsome orna-
me ntatiOn on his lettering. He SAYS he
is glad that he has the mirror to use for
bnlletin board because the delegates
will be sure to see the calls. They are
all dressed up and the first thing they
do when they come into the room is to
step in front of the looking glass. M.

1T MAY BE BLAINE,
Though His Friends May Kill Him
With Enthusiasm.

CHICAGO, June lit might truth
fully be said that all the presidential
movements were at a standstill to-day,
waiting on New York. There is, how
ever, more general recognition of the
positive strength of Senator Sherman.
Senator Miller claims ten votes in New
York for the Ohio man, and it is con-
ceded Senator Quay has thirty-hve
votes for Sherman in PennsylVanla.
This gives Sherman about 125 votes in
the North, which, added to his 200 in
the South, makes his strength fOrmi-
dable one. He has been greatly
weakened to-day by the assaults OF the
Pacific coast men, who have been
strongly opposing him. Over all hangs
the Blaine movement. While the Cali
fornians made no serious impression
Saturday, the perpleXities of the situa-
tion are so great that some of the dele
gates seem to find relief in going back
to Blaine. Against all the regular cam
didates some objections are urged, and
the making of choice amid so many
conflicting statements is matter OF the
utmost difficulty. Naturally, under
such circumstances, the name of the
brought more and more to the
front. There are some indications OF
well-defined plan to throw the conven-
tion into deadlock and make Blaine
the natural outcome. A part of this
programme, if programme it is, involves
the breaking up of New YOrk's vote,
the bolstering up of weak candidates
and pulling down of strong, thus pre-
venting the nomination of anybody till
after days of balloting. If there is
such scheme it is kept we'll under
cover, but many of the signs point to its
existence. Some of the old Blaine
managers are exhibiting anxiety about
the indiscretions of the California dele
CATION. They fear the enthusiastic
coasters will throw Blaine into the con-
vention prematurely and spoil every
thing. Failure of such movement
might prevent final success and be
somewhat humiliating besides. Senator
Hale, Joe Manley and S. b. Elkins
called on the Californians to-day and
begged them not to place Blaine's
name in nomination. The coast men
responded that it was treachery to
Blaine to oppose the presentation of his
name, and declared their intention of
going ahead with the boom. To-day
has only added to the uncertainty about
everything. Tomorrow is expected to
bring developments.

IN MINNESOTA.
How They Report Us On the Tariff
In New York.


Letter to the New York Times.
ST. PAUL, June 12.-Now that the
Democrats have taken for part of their
national platform the presidents tariff
message and have formally approved
the action of the authors and supporters
of the Mills bill in the house great
many people in Minnesota are looking
forward with deep interest and consid-
cradle anxiety to the work of the Re-
publicans in Chicago. There is no room
for doubt as to the opinions of great
majority of the people in Minnesota in
both parties concerning tariff reform.
They hold that the tariff should be re-
vised without delay, and that the duties
should be reduced. Party platforms
have repeatedly given expression to
their views. 1t will be remembered
that four of the five Republican repre-
sentatives from this state voted for the
consideration of the Morrison bill; that
the remaining representative, who voted
the other way, was defeated at the next
election; that the party in the election
lost three of the five districts which it
had controlled, and that the state con-
vention of 1886 not only approved the
action of the four men, but also said:
1--WE favor an early and judicious revis-
ion of the tariff, with a Simpliication
and reduction of customs of duties"

me that New York would unquestion-
ably present the name of Chauncey

and would support him with energy and
enthusiasm. This statement means a
good deal, coming from Hiscock, a pro-
nounced anti-Depew man. Two col

nomination, the other from Indiana,

CHICAGO, June 17.-The determine

has early manifested itself. A meeting
of the delegates from states and terri

national convention. The Dakota dele
CATION said that as the question of allow

did not care to express any preference
for a presidential candidate. Montana
