did the Harrison detachment from
Indiana make much of stir, although
they moved around, here, there and
everywhere, and did a good deal OF
quiet talking in behalf of of their can
didate. About a third of the deiega-

NANTES are confident, and claim Indi-
ana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and New
York on the second and third ballots,
together with he solid support of the
south. The RuSk boom, which was in
agurated at the recent Madison state
convention. has, so far,
FAILED TO MATERIALIZE.
with the slightest degree, but both the
Wisconsin governor and Gov. Oglesby,
of Illinois, are spoken of as candidates
for the second place on the ticket Sen
ator Allison's friends are laying low,
and Mr.. ClarksOn, of DeS MOineS. with
several of his colleagues from that state,
who will give the senator at least a
complimentary vote, are quoted as con-
Tossing privately their belief that Blaine
will be the nominee. A United States
senator who stopped over at the Pacific
to-day, and requested that his name
should not be used, said, among other
things, 81 believe that Blaine's
name will come up about the tenth
ballot. If it becomes apparent
that there is deadlock. and every con-
dition now indicates that there will be
one, | took for the delegates to begin
to vote for Blaine and he will probably
be nominated" Another veteran poll
tician who, while taking no part in the
struggle in behalf of any of the candi
dates, is keen observer, says; ''There
is one of three combinations that will be
successful. 1t will be Blaine and For
aker, Alger and Morton, or Harrison
and Phelps"
Delegate at Large Patrick Egan, of
Nebraska, came in to-day from Cieve-
land, where he has been attending
the meeting of the Irish National
league committee. He said: "There
is no particular candidate who can say
with any show of fact that he is in the
lead Probably Mr.. Sherman is stronger
now than any other one man, but there
is no current of feeling toward him that
would indicate his nomination more GER
tainly than that of any other candidate.
Personally, am for Alger OF the Ne
braska delegation who will arrive here
Saturday seveno of the ten are for Blaine,
one for Sherman, one for Gresham, and
one. myself, for Alger. Gresham's
strength, take it, is mainly in Illinois.
l heard very little of his boom in Ohio
and it is weak in the West. The Irish
American Republicans will vote for the
nominee of the convention, but Blaine
would undoubtedly get votes that no
other candidate can draw. He can get
a very large Irish vote, but there will
be no attempt to stampede the conven-
ton for him. Should the nomi-
nation come to him it must
do so spontaneously" Of others
talked to, w. P. Brownlow, son
OF the illustrious ''parson'' said:
Sherman was the most available man,
and would win; Col. Fred Grant was
non-committal; Col. Robert E. Frazer,
OF Detroit, who will put Alger in nomi-
nation, said that his delegation had no
second choice, and that it was certain of
victory, while Gov. Foster, OF Ohio, said
the same regarding Sherman. When
told that an Ohio man had said that
only one-half of the Ohio delegation
could be relied upon for the senator,
Gov. Foster paused a moment and then
said, deliberately: you can tell him l
said he is liar.'
