The batteries of the other camps were


opened on Depew as soon as his candidacy
was fairly launched. II was loudly pro-
claimed that his denunciations of General
Grant and the Republican party in 1872
| wuen he was Democratic candidate for
Lieutenant-Governor of New York, would
be raked up and used against the
ticket with terrific effect. Just as
the Republicans used the denunciations
Of the Democrats by Horace Greedy, who
| for Preaident on the came ticket with De
pew. Further it was contended that while
the fact TINT Q man 10 identified with q
| great railroad system ought not to be bar
to his seeking election to the highest office
in the gift Of the republic, yet that this
idea could not be impressed upon the
great body of grangers voters. Assuming
therefore that they would revolt enmasse
| against Q railroad man at the head of the
ticket Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, and in
fact the entire Republican stronghold of
| the West and Northwest would become
| doubtful territory. while the Republican
| party would be put upon the defensive.
To all Of whichsthe New Workers are simply
replying: 1.-THE man that can carry New

Republicans are not bolters and they

The Blaine movement continued to at

Last night some 5000 of them made street
parade with music and Transparent

other things that Blaine is the Gladstone

from the Pacific coast had failed to make
the headwsy they expected.
Indiana contributes two train loads of
perspiYing patriots to help out the Harri-
son boom, ond for eight hours yesterday
| four young married beauties, Mrs Lovett
daughter OF Will Cumbsck, Mrs, Hardness,
wife Of State Senator Hsrkness, Mrs Griffin
and Mrs. John W. Scott, all Of Hoosierdom
did yeoman service at headquarters with
! their dainty fingers in decorating the coat
iapels Of visitors with Harrison badges,
and the immense and ever-changing crowd
that passed through the parloTs indicated
that the innovation worked like q charm.
Alser's friends Is we'll as those of Alli-
son were working with might and main,
and claimed to be gaining ground. A more
conservative course was pursued by the
Rusk managers who kept within their
coming whoever chose to call in. They
gave it out from the start that they did not
propose to antagonize any of the other
booms, and although they insisted that
they had no second choice, and that they
were with Jerry to the last, their general
demeanor plainly indicates that they looked
upon the affair more as . labor of love
than real effort to secure for the badger
State place upon the Presidential ticket.
The throng that filed the Gresham head
quarters was composed in the main of
ChicagoAns and An anti-Harrison contingent
from Indiana. In the afternoon they sent
Q committee TO the Massachusetts, delega-
ton in the interests Of the Judge, but,
although they were given respectful
bearing, they went away without encour-
agenent. Last night the Greshamites held
Q mas meeting at Central Music Hall.

At the Ohio headquarters enthusiasm
continued At fever heat at the most ex-
travaRant claims as TO Shermans status
were made not few Of his supporters de-
claring that his nomination was assured on
the third ballot Along in the afternoon
an impromptu mass meeting was held in
the rotunda fronting headquarters, and
speeches were delivered by Congressman
The latter who was cheered for sew
eral minutes upon making his appearance
paid his respects to President Cleveland
and the national administration in
his usual syle, while Mr.. Butterworth, who
was constantly interrupted by cries for
Blaine" and Gresham" warned the
friends of the latter that it would be dam
gerous thing for the Republican party to
engage in politics as mere game and trick.

headquarters was the meeting of the vener-
able John C. Fremont and Fred Douglass
who had not seen each other for several
years.
Most of the delegations held meetings in
the afternoon and evening and selected
their chairman and members of the various
committees The Arkansas delegation is
badly split up in its preference. Vermont
favored Gresham. The Colrado men de-
clined to make known their choice in ad
vance 2of the convention. All is on and
Alger had the bulk of the Nebraska dele
CATION in its meeting. The present conven-
ton in point of numbers is the greatest
ever held in Chicago. Nothing like
IL has ever been seen before.
From the appearance of the streets
il would be imagined that whole towns had
emptied their population in the garden
city. At the hotels the throngs are enor-

1t will be worse to-day. for, according to
the railroad reports over $4,000 visitors,
including big Rusk contingent from Wis
consin, three carloads from Nebraska and
two Of Alger shouters from Michigan, will
be in. 1t says much for Chicago that she
can feed and house them all with plenty of
room to spare.
The National Committeeman selected at
the various caucuses included the follow
ing: Iowa, Hon. John W. Clarkson: New
Hampshire, Charles Pike: Minnesota, R.
G. Evans; New Jersey, G. A. Hobart; Con-
necticut, Samuel Fessenden; Wisconsin,
H. C. Payne; Indiana, John C. New;
Maine, 7. N. Haynes; Michigan, J. P.
sanborn; Colorado, General William Ham

setta, Frank Piuntney.
If any OF the delegations follow the eI-
ample of Massachusetts, and Texas the first
ballot is liable to be turned into a roaring
farce. The men from the old Bay State at
. meeting late last night decided to split
their votes among all the candidates and as
there are not enough of the latter 10 go
around one vote will be announced for
Robert T. Lincoln. In the Texas meeting
one delegate stated that his vote would go
TO W. N. Eyarts and . second intimated a
preference for George W. Childs.
