CHre.ss. June se.-The weather to-
day vas ofrpses-iveIy warm and had
noticeable effect on the convention.
which was perxriring 50 freely fha. il
manifested much less enthusiasts than
yesterday and was particularly irapa-
tiens. calling time on aii speakers ef
over three minutes.
Permanent Chairman E-tee received
i-ief ovation as Governor Foraker, of
tf.se escorted him To the chair. Es-
tx ; tail. heavy built man with bald
ilst.- lie has a good, full voice. and
acts with eommerdable prornptness
on all questions. Contrary 10 custom.
he delivered practically no address at
all OF political character on taking
the chair. merely briefly thanking the
convention in the name OF California
and the Pacific coast for the honor
conferred ON him. The hrevity OF
ESTES address
Put him on excellent terms from the
very start with the vast, sweltering
andience. bat there we're many ex-
preSsions OF disappointment heard
from delegates that Estee did not
make roaSing political speech. They
expected it. especially the Blaine men,
who we're seeking an opportunity to
eounterart the damaging effect Of tenn
porary chairman Tharston's address.
wherein he did everything possible TO
impress the convention that it would
be political suicide tonominate Blaine.
The California delegates and all the
out and out Blaine men are
KICKING fuRIousLy AT rHrRsroS.
And numerous interviews are pub
lished in the local press charging him
vi.t treachery in endeavoring 10 kill
o.. ne Blaine boom in behalf of Sher-
man, whom he conipl;mented highly
in his speech. There is no doubt but
Estee was solemnly pledged not to re-
fer TO Blaine in his opening speech.
otherwise he would not have been
chosen. The secret OF his failure TO
make a political address lies in the
fact that the speech he had prepared
was full Of Blaine and finding that he
could not fire it of at the convention,
his associates from the Ceas, concluded
that he should say practically nothing
at all.
TIE fLsIsE Room
Il quietly growing, hut has assumed
quite a different phase from what was
anticipated by the California people,
who calculated that they would set
the sky ON fire for Elaine, bat the air
OF Chicago was - filed with Gresham
that the calculations OF the Blaine
boomers 10 stampede the entire public
had to be revised and are now icing
confined exclusively toward stamped
ing the delegates.
The several boaus have developed
no noteworthy change since YESTERDAY.
Il he friends of the several candidates
adhere fenaeiousiy TO their respective
fayorites. IL is ROW probable that on
hrst ballot ten candidates will be voted
for, namely, Blaine. nepew, sherman.
Gresham. Aiger, Phelps tof New Ier-
sew, Harrison, Alison, Rusk and In
gals.
CREED RAYMOND,
Chairman OF the California delegation,
in an interview this evening said
When | arrived in Chicago first
announced that would put the name
OF J. G.. Blaine in nomination If no one
else would, and nothing has occurred
10 change my determination. The
ceast delegates are unit for Blaine,
have no sccond choice and viii start
and finish with him, and mark nay
the coast viii he with the
winner at the finish. ] can't say now
who viii place Mr.. Blaine's name he
fore the convention. This will assert
though. our people viii vote for him
from the first and California will see
to il that our Henry OF Navarro Is
properly introduced TO those who ad-
uiire and love him.
