Delegates in caucus.

Delegates IN Caucus.
Ben Butterwcrth attended caucus of the
Alabama delegates this afternoon and urged
the nomination Of Sherman. Logan III.
Roods, of Arkansas, made Blaine speech
and said the Arkansas delegates were at
heart for Blaine. 1t had not been deemed
expedient, however, to vote for him and the
delegation had united ON Alger. Geo. w.
Parsons Instructed Tor Sherman, but person
ally for Blaine, moved that the delegation
unite on Sherman for the first ballot tomor-
row and then, If 1t seemed apparent that
Sherman could not be nominated, to declare
for Blaine and give him the 20 votes.
Arkansas, he said. would follow with IA and
California with 16 more. The initiative TAX
en- by Alabama would sweep the convention
for Blaine. Such storm of protests was
raised at this that Parsons withdrew the
motion.
John d. Hardy, who had been voting for
Alger, but who desires for the prestige of the
State to unite the delegation, moved to unite
it for Sherman. Half the delegates objected
and the motion was withdrawn. The meet
ing ended as half dozen have without any
change in the position OF the delegates.
John W. Langshorn. who. seconded the
nomination of Sherman in the convention,
declared that nomination of Blaine now
would ruin the party, and the candidate
must either be Sherman or man named by
sherman. The Sherman forces hold the key
to the situation and when the time comes
they will dictate who the nominee will final
ly be, between either Blaine and Sherman,
or Blaine and man named by Sherman.
A subcommittee to lsok over the field and
If possible, to recommend ticket which
would meet with the approval of the various
factions, presented a report to the confer
enee committee this evening, saying that
they do not consider il judicious at this
time to suggest ticket for submission to
the general conference" They further re-
commend that no meeting of conference
committees be held on Monday morning.
The report was adopted unanimously, and
the conference adjourned to meet again to-
morrow evening. Depew and .Elkins both
denied emphatically that any despatch from
Blaine declining the nomination was receiy-
ed Depew also denied he was to nominate
Blaine tomorrow

Sherman to His Supporters.

Telegrams passed today between Sherman
and his managers to the effect that he is not
only not out Of the fight, but has reasons to
believe he will be the nominee of the con-
vention. Sherman has wired his friends
that he is in the race to stay and would re-
tire in favor of no one. He said that Blaine
was pledged to him not to be candidate
and the use Of his name in an unauthorized
attempt to force Blaine upon the con-
yention was gross abuse Of confidence.
Sherman contends in his dispatches
that Blaine can only be nominated
by the convention in square
issue between Blaine and himself and other
candidates and not as an unanimous choice
Of the body. There is no middle course, and
Blaine's friends must come out and make
their fight for him as against the other can
didates and take his chances, or he must go
down in history as yiolator of pledges.
These dispatches were shown Elkins and
others OF the leaders of the Blaine forces and
were thrown down to them as a square chal-
lenge. These messages created something of
sensation. The confidence of the Sherman
men Is partly based on Quay's promise to de-
liver 30 votes of the Pennsylvania delegation,
while similar number of New York votes
are also said to be secured.

The market for Christmas turkeys
was very lively last Saturday night.
The price fiuctuated, some going for
ten cents each, others costing several
dollars. The price was decided by
keno, and was done in this manner :
Cards to the number of "a were sold
for 10 cents each. Every one of the
cards had three rows of figures. and
each row contained FIVE figures. The
director of ceremonies had small
board in which were "a holes. When
the cards were sold, the number was
called out and a peg put in the hole
that had the same number as the card.
He was also supplied with box in
which were a number of checks, and
each check bore number which cor
responded with the number on the
cards. The checks were shook up
and one picked out without looking
at it, and the number called out. The
man who had card which had the
same number as was on the check,
then placed another check over the
number on his card. The man who first
got a row of five figures covered yell
ed out exultingly "keno." The other
twenty-three said something else, gen.
orally in regard to their i'll luck, but
all varied in the way they expressed
their feelings. The man who yelled
"keno" got turkey, for his ten cents
invested, and the other % helped him
to pay for it. Keno was much sought
after, but he was as deceptive as a
will a the wisp to most of the turkey
aspirants. He smiled on some the
first time, while others were not able
to get a glimpse of him. Some con-
tributed several dollars. but no keno
came to them. Thus keno kept the
Christmas turkey market very uncer-
tain, and prices ranged from ten cents
to several dollars per turkey. One
man held - wo fine turkeys and said:
Flows that ~r 35 cents ?" Another
one said he hA invested $3.50 and
got no turkey. Of such is keno.

State troops at Mackinac. Members
of the board were well satisfied with
the outcome, which shows that the

renovation of the uniforms in use and
the purchase of quantity of new
