Crowd-Gossip as to the Various De
egations.
CHICAGO, June 16.-Delegations are arri,
ing at lively rate to-day, and the scene
at the hotels and political beadquarter
are becoming more animated. The Pacifi
Coast delegations were the first importan
arrival and added much zest to the Blain
enthusiasm. The Maine delegation cam
in soon after. Haines of the Nationa
Committee said that Maine regretted thai
Blaine had withdrawn, that she regarded
his withdrawal as a mistake but that sh.
was bound to respect the fact OF his de
cInation. "We. are disposed to disconr
age any demonstration, be said. "How
ever, if it should turn out that those now
in the field can't secure sufficient votes ia
nominate, il
DEADLOCK SHOULD EvENTuATE
and several candidates agree to the pre-
sentation Of Blaine's name, then we should
be only too glad to have the honor
TO go to him by acclamation. But we
shall do nothing directly or indirectly TO
compass that result" The BROOKLYN del
egation also came in on an eBrly train and
reported that they have leanings toward
Ager. Greshap managers claim that they
have gained twenty-five votes to-day and
are very hopeful OF accessions from the
Pacific coast delegates. Sherman's work.
ers are ardent and indefatigable. The
coIored men from the South being partic.
ularly Jealous, bat all of the booms are
practically IN suspense pending develop
ments which may follow the demonstra-
ton boomers from the Golden Gate.
The COASTERS ARRIVAL.

cation and in the procession to the Leland |
Hotel, the California headquarters, it was !
~ the van of the procession. The Chicago
Young Mems Blaine Club and the American |
Club formed the escort OF tDe Pacific Coast |
delegation The coasters formed under the |
command OF Colonel Greed Raymond and |
the escort was marshalled by III. A Beard. |
Every man from the Pacific Coast in the /
procession wore q high white hat and |
carried cane from the tip OF which |
t1uttered the little American flag which had /

To the inspiring strains of Rally round

The splendid white silk banner OF the Cali.
iOrnia delegation, which was the most con-
spiCuous feature of the parade, was fol-
loved by an immense portrait OF Blaine.
From the depot until it's arrival a the LIE

with Gresham badges met the coasters at
the depot and formed a part OF ,,
the march to headquarters. The
crowd on the streets en- route
cbeered the parade as it passed bravely on
and the Blaine boom teok a fresh start. | i
Whenever a Blaine banner or picture MAS
seen The PROCESSION halted to cheer Ar /,
irving at the Leland, President Beard OF
the Young Mems Blaine Club got upon a
chair and made ringing speech eulogizing
Blaine and giving the Pacific coast the
hearty right hand OF fellowship. An ad- ]
dress was also made by M. p. Beady OF the
Irish American Club. Creed Raymond
made reply in which he declared that the
Pacific coast was
SOLID FOR BLAINE
and that the delegates would stand by him, !
and that any delegate from the Pacific !,
Coast who is hostile in this fight was a
traitor to the people who sent him to the e
convention. He declared that Blaine 1
should be nominated before any platform q
as be could be candidate, platform and all; "
that he was the embodiment of Republican, q
ISM and re,eCialy Of The Rci,uhi caniHm Of y
Tie Pacific Coast, Haym, nd sail: q
did tod kIn,w ru,rc was any one rum "
Ming hut Biniie until we got near u
lhicago. No one else will be running next a
r"esday morning, when Blaine will be u
nominated probably hy acclamatioD. -
Why, aS Grant stood to this nation in u
war, 20 stands Blaine to the nation in time c'
of peace. This is "a time of peril to the ia
Union. South of the Potomac t ey are q
no better friends to us than if jeff Davis
had led them. The rebels ave again cap n
tured Tennessee, Kentucky and ,aissouri, u
and the Northern Democracy have become M
dough-faces, and are vying one with an r. r.
other. 1t is fitting the flag which they have
adopted
THE RED FLAG, :,
which no virtuous woman ever loved, no d
brave man ever fought under" The Il
speaker remembered the bandana, which, y
before the war, as he travelled through the q,
cOttonfeds OF the South, he saw upon the q
heads Of those who were toiling in the sun. h
These people couldn't call their children T
their own, nor claim a cents worth OF re
property. The bandana was a proper ir
badge OF u state OF servitude in which the ri
northern dough faces delighted to 4
live. When Mr.. Raymond re o
Terrell to the bandana as the
red flag OF Anarchy and proceeded to
speak of the Haymarket there were many
expressions of disapproval heard in the
crowd and one man remarked Thurman
has always been a law and order man"
The speaker again referred to the rebel flag
and its former defeat. He made an elo-
guent reference to the capabilities OF a.
Blaine as leader. He continued: I'VE t,
were told that we would have to come
here and ballot six or seven times and then g.
When it was evident that there could not ~
ne any choice then
BLAINE COULD BE SPRUNG.
But that is not the way it is going to be -
done. We are the third State on the roll
and the first Republican State, and when B
California is called will name Blaine IT NO
one else 1ues and want to see what Re- g,
publican will dare to vote against him.
They say Blaine. of Maine, has written 81
some letters, but Jim Blaine, OF California,
Will accept" Raymond said il Blaine was q
~ Ills grave the God who presided over this q
STuutTy IN lts days oil peril 1rom armou
rebellion would send him back to save MS
country. After Mr.. Haymond's speech
taere was great Blaine demonstration IN Il
Cne Leland corridors after which the dele
EaVes dispersed TO their rooms. In
