MAINE VIEW OF TIE SITUATION.
This dispatch from Chicago was sent saturday
night from +. l. Dingley, the editor OF the Lewis
ton Journal:
"An the boomers are at sea- sherman and
Gresham are rapidly dissovins. SO far In the
contests the Efforts on behalf OF Mckinley are
feeble. 1he chances for a conclusion on Monday
are small, but the Blaine rush Is pressing night
though the leading Blaine workers oppose the
lite. When the break comes neither sherman nor
Gresham nor Harrison can hold their forts. Moth
Ing but the unlocked for can prevent Blaines
nomination"
SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION LAST NIGHT.
The Baltimore american thus summarizes the
situation last night: "The conferences Saturday
and the combinations then formed Indicated that
the problem would be easily solved to-day by the
nomination OF either Mckinley or Blaine. sunday s
conferences, however, changed the outlook. The
conference OF managers OF all the candidates eN-
cepting Harrison, on saturday, to settle upon one
or two names to be presented 10 the convention to-
DAY, Jailed 10 accomplish the result sought. They
Thought well OF Allison and Mckinley. The under
standing was that Sherman ana Gresham would
Withdraw; but these gentlemen refused 10 yield,
Notwithstanding the fact that Gov. Foraker de-
clares that sherman has no show and that 90 per
cent OF the OHIO delegation is for Blaine. Stephen
b. Elkins and others, who are trying 10 force
Blaines nomination by delaying the convention,
are bitterly criticized by other friends or Mr..
Blaine who claim that he will not accept a nom-
ination gained In such a manner. The Mckinley
dark-horse movement 10 now also looked upon by
program. Most OF the delegates who have thus
lar voted for Mckinley are out-and-out Blaine
men, This fact Is regarded as showing an at
tempt on the part OF the Blaine managers to use
the dark.horse 10 beat all the Others and then TO
bring Blaine In 10 beat him. Mr.. Blaine has
been cabled the status OF the situation, and
some expression from him Is confidently ex-
pected by The convention to-day. The sherman
and Allison managers claim TO have greatly In
creased the strength OF their respective Candidates
and Gresham is also hopeful again. There is q
probability, however that even II Mckinley is H.
noceptly the victim OF the Blaine managers, the
strength OF all the other candidates nav go TO
him and carry him through In spite OF the Blaine
program.
