Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
CHICAGO. June 10, 80 p.m--I have Just received
interesting Information concerning the attitude Of
Messrs. Marley, s. b. Elkins, Ingersol and Senator
Hale toward Mr.. Blaine. My Informant, whom
have good reasons to believe, declares to me that
he has talked with Manley, Hale and Elkins with
in a few hours, and hat they SAID they had not
the least doubt OF Mr.. Blaine's nomination; that
their plan was working we'll: that they would be
able to check the movement until the proper time
arrived, and that
BLAINE WOULD BE NOMINATED.
Ny informant declared also that while Mr.. In
gersoll was talking Gresham, he. too. was In fact
in favor Of Blaine, and his course part Of the
general plan being followed by Manley and ElKins
TO prevent the boom from developing too soon.
Hale, Elktns and Manley are doing what they can
to Keep the enthusiastic BlaineiteS quiet for q
while, but they expect tD the end to secure the
nomination OF Blaine in such way as to permit OF
his acceptance 1t Is extremely doubtful whether
Blaine himself is q party 20 the scheme. This
seems to be the true nwar0ness Of the whole situ-
alton. 1t Is said to be part OF the plan that when
Chauncey n. Depew wttndraws from the contest
he Will make a speech, presenting MI. Blaine's
name.

In turn, Aiger Is losing 10 Depew.

that ex-senator Warner Miller is TO be permanent

Chances for second place. IL being OF course out OF
