CHICAGO CONVENTION.
Much Ado Alb ut the Pacific
Coasters.
THEIR FIGHT FOR NJ. NJ. ESTEE,
Who VIII Probably by Permane Mt
Chairman The Tug OF War
Will Begin To-day.
AT Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 13.-Estee, of Califor-
mia, after a consultation with friends,
announced that he would not allow any
contest on his bshalf before the CONVEX
ton fol the temporary Craftsmanship
The decision was made in the interest Of
good feeling, and the Californians at
once commenced to regain their grip
and to be regarded as still near the top
of the heap.
Unless a great change should come
over the minds of the California delega-
ton before the States are called for
nominations for President. in the con-
vention, Blaine's name Will be the one
first put before the representatives
of the convention. Toe efforts of the
New York people to induce
Californians to wIJnhold the name
of the Maine statesman TO
q few ballots at least, failed as com
pletely as have argum hts to the same
purpose poured on the Pacific Slope
people by Blaine men in different dele :
cations. The arguments mainly were,
if Blaine be nominated it must be by
the unanimous consent of all the other
candidates, SO tina: the full support Of
the party shall be assured him. Repre-
seutauves from nearly every State have
called at Leland Hotel and held a con-
ference with enthusiastic Blaine men,
but without av il. Creed Haymond
and NJ. H. DeYoung are intiexible.
They will listen to no compromise.
Blaine is their candidate and they will
make no pre,ense of supporting anyone
else. why should we pretend to
support Gresham and Harrison
or AL err" asked Raymond to-
day, addressing a delegation of
OHIO men. We do not ask any of
them to make pretenses. We will not
permit them to say TO US how we shall
vote. We do not say to New York,
you should not vote for Depew till the
tenth ballot We have as much right
to have candidate of our own as New
York; we have candidate, his name
is Blaine and we will vote for him on
the first ballot and on the last" The
Blaine movement at the Leland Hotel
is more active than ever this morning.
z A delegation of Harrison men led by
Vol. BrIdgaland and Gen. Wallace called
on the GaiifOrnians to-day and had
private conference, only in quiet way,
paying our aspects to the Pacific slope
people, some of whom are our
personal friends" was the way
Col. Bridgeland explained it. There
seems to be feeling of certainty in
the minds of many of the blaine men
that the ticket will be Blaine and
Harrison. New York delegates said
that if the California people would
listen to reason, the ticket would be
Elaine and Alger, otherwise it would be
Alger and an eastern man, probably
Morton.
Mr. DeYoung said the Blaine move
mentis strong than ever. I'VE have
not wayered line from our original pro-
gramme In support of Blame" he said,
''ther are attempts at com binations
among other candidates and no one
can tell what may happen. We may
have big surprise for you and we may
not"
Gresham men have shown the first
inclination toward the possibility of a
combination between the Blaine men
and the Indiana Judge. A number of
Gresham men were at Leland wearing
the blue badge that spoke for Blaine
and q -esham." Gresham has but little |
show an Jng CalIfOrnlans. They think
Harrison is the strongest man. The |
Yves ern State Association" composed |
of del * ate5 from each S ate and Terri |
Leland's this morning. II ymond said |
this organization had 40 reference what
ever to the Presidential question. 1t |
was simply an organization to consider
as 10 what he Pac fic States want, just |
as New England States might meet to
agree on a method of procedure with
regard TO the fisheries gu stion. The
only break that was made was VIII IN
Senator Jones, of Nevada, opened out
Nth On attack on Blaine. TAe meet
fEg, so far as could be Termed,
was harmonious, except for the
persistence with which Jones en-
deavored to have the delegations
lutte on giving Senator Stanford, of
California, a plimentary vote. This
was not agreed to and the meeting ad
jonrned.
at a meeting of
