His Nomination Considered a Proba-
bility To-Day.
CHICAGO, June 24.-Sherman managers
have got their second wind tonight, and
are mysteriously confident and satisfied
over the prospects of to morrow's session of
the convention. Nothing definite can
as yet be learned from any of them, but it
is known that they have repaired all the
broken fences in the Ohio delegation, and
that the latter will vote for Sherman
again tomorrow. Gov. Foraker who, last
night, said that there would be a break in
the Ohio delegation, says this evening that
1t VIII DO unanimous for Sherman. 1t is
sald III certain quarters that the New York
delegation will vote for Sherman.
HIS NOMINATION A PROBABILITY.
Senator Sherman's friends have been in
cllned TO indicate that his nomination to-
morrow IS not only a possibility, but prob
ability. kilograms have passed to-day be-
tween the Senator and his managers to the
effect that he is not only not out of the
fight, but that he has reason TO believe he
will be the nominee of the convention. Sena-
tor Sherman has wired his friends that he
Is IN the race to stay, and that he would
withdraw in favor of no one. He said that
Blaine was pledged to him not TO be a can
didate, and the use of his name is unauthor-
lied, and the attempt to force Blaine upon
the convention was a gross abuse of
confidence. Senator Sherman con-
tends in his dispatches here
that Blaine could only be nominated
in convention in a square issue between
Blaine ami himself and other candidates,
and not as the unanimous choice of tho
body. There is no middle course. and
dc
their fight for him as against the other cam
didates and take his chances, or he must
go down in history as a violator
OF pledges. These dispatches We're
shown Mr.. ElkinS and Others of the leaders
of the Blaine forces, and were thrown down
to them as square challenge.
A SENSATION.
These messages created something of
sensation, and have given spice to the situa-
ton, so far as Shermah's candidacy is CON
cerned, which it did not possess before this
morning. The Blaine managers appealed
to Gov. Foraker, who they Thought
had vice presidential bee in his bonnet, to
withdraw from Sherman and JON the
Blaine programme. The governor said
that he was not in a position Just now to
agree to this, and that they must await
further developments This was the stua-
ton which Senator Quay of Pennsylvania
and other Sherman men had to meet this
afternoon. Quay at once set ont to seek
a combination for a basis of Sherman's
continued candidacy with the anti-Blaine
forces in New York and other states He
represented to his friends in the Pennsyl-
vania delegation that there was not only
chance left yet for Sherman, but convinced
McManes and other anti-Blaine people
from that state that Sherman was the
Vph a Of
BIaine's nomination, and that his nomina-
ton tomorrow on the second ballot was al
most certain. Quay said to these people
that 55 votes had been promised him at a
conference this afternoon from New York,
and that the entire vote from Wisconsin
would join in the movement. Quay has
succeeded apparently, by these statements,
in getting 55 of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation to hold on
row, and although no caucus Of the delega-
ton will be held until tomorrow, McManes
said Quay holds tho states vote, and that he
EXPECTS saERDIAN's NOMINATION.
One of the delegates at largo from
Pennsylvania tonight said the Sherman
boom had been rehabilitated, and that he
would be the leading candidate and
probably the nominee. This gentleman,
however, said that New Yorks agreement
to go to Sherman was conditional and, I'M
loss there was very hopeful condition of
affairs when New York was called there
might not be any Sherman votes there.
A very prominent Philadelphia dele
gate. who expects to go vito Quay in the
Sherman movement for one ballot at
least, said: Quay has two more votes
from Pennsylvania for Sherman upon
promise of material help elsewhere But |
do not think the PennsYivaDia Calepatfon
can be held for Sherman longer than two
ballots, and possibly not so long. There
will be break for Blaine or Mckinley very
promptly, unless Quay shows rs that he has
made a successful deal. We doubt it, but
are willing TO give him the chance
