Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR.
CHICAGO June 25.-They expect to do it to-day
They may fail, but probably will not. Many
rapid changes have occurred during the past
| forty-eight hours, but Monday morning opens as
did Saturday, with all the possibilities and un-
| certainties OF that hour.
No one appears TO have an honest doubt that
Blaine can and could have been at any time since
the second day OF the convention nominated by q
good majority.
Blaine Men in No Hurry.
But that is not what the Blaine men want. It is
not clear how the Maine statesman could accept a
| nomination not practically unanimous until 1t is
fully demonstrated that no other candidate can
possibly get the nomination.
For this reason the Blaine men have waited and
are waiting.
Strong Anti-Blaine Talk.
The strongest anti-Blaine talk yet heard was
! that current yesterday. The mention OF Mr..
Blaine's magnetic name appeared to galvanize
the corpses OF the other candidates, as an irrev-
erent politician put it, and they all jumped up to
say that they were not dead yet
The anti-Blaine fight then began with more
enthusiasm and with better organization than
1t had up to that time shown. The adjourn

when 1t was settled that the convention was to 60

work was done yesterday and is being done this

To relieve Mr.. McKinly from further temptation,
