vote. The contest 10 the third Maryland

that AZ. NJ. Estee OF California. who con
tested the temporary chairmanphip, could
have the permanent chairmanship.
Definite shape has been given TO the
rumor that Mckinley is Odio's second
choice. Among the Congressional arrivals
from Washington yesterday we're two or
three whose first inquiries were about Nc
kinley's chances. The usual indignation
was vented by the Ohio people. Mckinley
was sought out and gave the usual EN-
pbatic denial, and so on. But the Con-
gressmen we're persistent and II finally
leaked out that letter had been received
10 Washington from an Ohio delegate
This letter stated that the great danger to
Sherman was Blaine stampede. and that
the Ohio Senator's chances were never 30
good as now. but that there was dagger OF
toe fisid combining egaiust Sherman and
forcing Blaine on the Convention. This
view OF the situation was pretty generally
accepted two or three days ago, aud an
Ooio delegate writing TO friend would
probably reflect this opinion Whenever

remark that whatever happens. he wifi not
