CHICAGO, June 21.-AS has been pre-
eiously intimated, the two positive
forces in this convention are Blaine and
Sherman. That was never more ap-
parent than in to-day's convention.
Sherman's great strength was shown
openly and to good advantage.
Many of the spectators said a
ballot Immediately following the
great demonstration at the close
OF Gov. FOraker's speech would have
resulted in Sherman's nomination. But
those who were looking beneath the
surface discover signs of unusual activ-
ity among the Blaine men. Steve
Elkins was as busy about the conven-
ton hall as he was four years
ago. His lieutenantS were also in
motion. The Blaine influence was par
tlcularly strong about the platform of
the chairman. The demonstration for
Sherman, the test of Sherman's strength
on the roll call Wednesday evening
when his friends rallied 250 votes for Ma
hone, with certainty of having nearly
fifty more which they refused to uncover,
has stirred up the friends of Blaine,
and tempted them to abandon their pro-
gramme of nominating Blaine only after
prolonged effort to to select another.
candidate. The interview with Carne-
gle, in which he stated that Blaine will
accept if nominated, printed this morn
ing, has tended to give
THE FRIENDS OF BLAINE
more boldnesS and confidence. 1t is
now tolerably clear that the Blaine men
donOt intend to permit the nomination
of Sherman if they can help it. These
two strong lines of action within the
Republican party are again to meet face
to face. The programme is to pre-
vent a nomination tomorrow, and to
have a conference of the friends of the
candidates tomorrow night, but if
necessary, Blaine will be sprung upon
the convention at any moment. The
difficulty which Blain's friends have to
face is how to get the nomination for
him in such manner that he will ac-
cept it-that is, without
RIDING OVER THE RIGHTS
or chances of any of the other candi-
dates. The Blaine men have had much
difficulty in restraining the impetuous
Californians, who threatened to bring
matters to an issue at once. That was
accomplished by giving them the
chairmanship, and in the morn
ing California, it is predicted,
will vote for Blaine without form
ally placing his name in nomination.
Depew was to-day appealed to by some
of the Blaine managers to hold his New
York strength till they give the word,
and then lead the Blaine stampede. The
theory was that if New York, the
decisive state, should thus demand
Blaine, the remainder of the country,
including the friends of other candi-
dates, must submit in good grace. But
Depew declined to enter into any such
scheme. He said ne had once before de-
MED any intention on his part to pose
as a
STALKING HORSE FOR BLAINE.
and he now reiterateS that declaration.
Depew is indignant at Platt, Hiscock,
and Phelps, who some days ago organ
lied a combination against him, and
have prevented him getting the
enthusiastic support of New York
as well as the vote of New Jersey and
Connecticut and other votes inNew Eng
land. What Depew will do still remains
conundrum. He admits that he has
no hope of the nomination himself, but
will not indicate what his course will
be. His intimate friends believe he will
join Warner Miller in throwing as
many votes as possible to Sherman.
A conference of the Blaine men was
held tonight. Senator Hiscock, eX-
Senator Platt, Powell Clayton, William
Walter Phelps and S. B. Elkins were
present. 1t was agreed that Mr. Blaine
is willing to take the nomination if it
can be secured in the right way, but
that it is the duty of his friends to make
an honest effort
TO NAME ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
They agreed to support Gen. Har-
iison, of Indiana, beginning as soon as
there shall be signs of a breaking up of
the complimentary delegations, proba-
