Until 10 This Morning..

CHICAGO, June 22.-The California
delegation had their plans completed
long before the convention hour ap-
preached this morning. The plan is q
simple one, and is this: The name Ct
James G. Blaine will not be put in NOM
ination, but when the Golden Safe is
reached it will cast it's eighteen votes
for the man from Maine.
Editor De Young, who speaks with
authority, Wa seen by a reporter this
morning. When asked what California
proposed to do whsn called to vote for
nominee, he said: ~ IL just tell you that
in q very few words. California will
cast eighteen votes for Blaine. 1t has
been decided not to place his name in
nomination just yet, but simply wait
till our turn is called anu then cast our
vote for him"
How many votes do you think
Blaine will get en- the drst baLlOt?"
Every few. We have begged ali our
support not to vote for Blaine on tho
first ballot, and III fact nos to vote for
him at all until it becomes plainly
demonstrated that no other candidate
can get nominated. We could have
hundreds OF delegates right behind US
from all over the STATES at the very
first ballot, but we don't want to use
them. You can say that California is
quite willing to let all those big, little
fellows VINO are painting so wildly for
Presidential honOrs TO prove to their
own satisfaction that they don't
amount TO anything, and haven't
chance in the world for the
nomination. We are willing to
allow the Ystsran John Sherman to take
another chance. He is entitled to a
show, and although this is about his
fourth attempt 10 capture the nomina-
ton IL the national convention, we are
willing TO give the old man another
show. Let him get knocked out again.
We ere willing 30 give Gresham sim
liar snow, anu the rest of the small fry,
and when they have proved beyond q
doubt, as prove il they surely VIII, that
no one of thsm las egen ghost Of q
chance for the nomination, ne
WILL LET THE BLAINE BOOM sPRING
for all it is worth and carry the con-
vention. The policy of California is
this: We propose to keep the Blaine
colors flying, and at the same time
allow the partisans of the small candi-
dates to prove our candidate is politi-
cal necessity. Blaine would not accept
the nomination on the first balloE, but
if it is proved that no one else can be
nominated; that he is the only avail
able man the party has, he will take it. "
Toe So nvnrn0cnd linn
self, or ever given you so to under
stand2"
"No, but those who are closest to him
his friends and his sons-haVe said
So"
LUST BEFORE THE BATTLE, JIMMY"
The convention has now reached that
stage at which all interest in its pro-
ceedings eliminates. The decks have
been cleared for action, and the battle is
about to begin. What the first ballot |
will disclose is already known. The alb |
sorbiDg curiosity is to know what the |
third or fourth or fifth ballots will show. |
The air of the convention hall is full of |
rumors, theories and blind guesses. |
Sherman doomed up last night because
of the great enthusiasm which the Ohio |
that Sherman would win to-day or not |
at all.
The convention was called to order at |
11.06 p. M, but nothing could be done at
once, as many seats were vacant in the
delegations and the crowds were push
ing their way to seats in the galleries. |
HosTInITIEs COMMENCE.
At few minutes past IL o'clock, the
convention was called to order by
Chairman Estee, who, having COM
pletely lost his voice. called Senator
Hiscock to the chair to preside over the
session, which was formally opened
with prayer by Rev. ]. II. Worcester,
OF Chicago. In his invocation he prayed |
the spirit which would rule over the
proceedings of the convention might be
the spirit not OF narrow partisanship,
but of broad patriotism. ,.s

dent with the following result:
