Sentiment Will Garry the Convention.

EIkins and Boutelle Hope the Blaine
Sentiment viii Garry the Convention.
CHICAGO, June 20.-The Maine dele
gates are holding themselves, in a meas
ure, out of the fight, and hoping that
there will be a stampede to Blaine. Con
gresham c. A. Boutelle is their coun-
selor, but there have been several things
| done by the Blaine enthusiasts that did
not meet with his approval. He opposed
| the action of Stephen B. Elkins in going
before the California delegation and urg-
ing them not to vote for Blaine in the
outset. Both Elkins and Boutelle hope
that the Blaine sentiment will carry the
convention off its feet, but they do not
| agree as to the best means of promoting
it and setting up the pins for a Blaine
| stampede. Boutelle believes that
| Their interests will be best served
by allowing the California delega-
ton to bear out by their votes
their declaration that Blaine is the only
man who can carry the Slope and sweep
the country. He is telling the Blaine
| enthusiasts from other states that the
California vote will form a nucleus at
the beginning around which the delega-
tions that are not strong for any other
candidate will cluster before the voting
has been prolonged into the night. He
| believes that the delegates who say now
they are not in favor of forcing the
Maine statesman into the fight, will all
fall into line for him If u fair majority
aocks around the California nucleus. A
number of the New York delegates told
him this morning that they wanted
"Chauncey" or Blaine, and if the West
insisted that the former could not win,
they would insist on the latter. Taereis
no doubt now that the Maine men are
encouraging the Blaine sentiment.
Boutelle said to o New Yorker: eff
MI. Blaine had only taken our advice he
would be nominated and elected beyond
| question, but we are now in a peculiar
position. He did not want to write a
! second letter and would not, il Phelps
and others had not kept writing to him
about the people not accepting his first
letter as taking him out of the race.
Phelps got the swell head when he was
mentio.ci freely for second place, and
began to think there was Il chance for
him, with Blaine out of the way, to get
on the head of the ticket; and he and his
friends worried Mr.. Blaine until he wrote
the second letter"
He stated further that, in his opinion,
Mr.. Blaine would not decline a unani-
NOUS nomination.

S. McKinlay and A. S. L. Shield are two
of the choicest spirits in the lot. In the
afternoon the former stood in the
rotunda and rubbed the bridge of his
nose with the gold head of his ebony
cane. He had on a white plug hat and
q black cutaway suit. From his cleft
breast pocket peeped q couple of inches
of blue-silk handkerchief; at his throat
was a speckled necktie.
"We are the Jim Dandy club of this

stamped a large nan on the Back. The

be Delegate w. r. Leeds. He had a
white plug, a black cutaway suit, and a
specified necktie, He stood beside Mr..
McKinlay, pulled n bit Of blue silk hand
kerchief from his left breast pocket, and
Drought his gold-hsaded ebony cane to

white plug hat, speckled necktie, gold
headed ebony cane, and all.

Most of The political clubs wore .but-
tons. This was regarded as the latest
mascot by the boofhgrs, and the designs
were numerous. The Alger buttons
were the most plentiful. Every son of
Michigan had one. There were Gresham
buttons, and there we're hosts ofEBlaine
buttons. The Gresham boomers decided
that buttons were too modest, and show
cred a flood of Gresham badges on their
candidates friends. The badge has a
portrait Of Gresham in miniature.

Mr.. McKlnlay drew from the tail of
his coat an American flag of silk, to the
starred end of which were sewed several
brass rings and q pendant string of red
white and blue buttons. He strung the
brass rings on the small end of his cane
and held the banner aloft. Delegate

A little before 8 O'Clock the club, in

head, proceeded to the Hotel Richelieu
and serenaded the Pennsylvania senator's
stopping there. The courtesy was ac-
knowledged appropriately.

Resolved, That we pledge ourselves
as a party in this closing century of con-
stitutional government to the advocacy
and maintenance of equal political rights

Miss Anthony followed, reviewing the
action of the party in previous years, re-
calling the victory of 1872 when woMan's
rights had a place in the platform, and
how its majorities had dwindled since
then as women had given their allegiance
to the other parties which had sought
their aid, Until at the last election, ow-
ing largely to women's influence in the
Prohibition ranks, that the Republican
party was defeated. 'nThe Republicans"
she said, "haye taken q stand upon the
liquor question which has alienated the
German vote, yet il has not conciliated
the temperance people. They are threat
ened with OBJECTIONS on either, side. If
they take proper action on equal suffrage
women would help them to win new VIC
tcries.n
Miss Huling presented a memorial
from the Cook County Women's society,
asking favorable consideration of the
resolution presented by Mrs. Hooker.

The Story Of a Needle.

MASON CITY, Ia, June 20.-Rey. d. u.
Skinner was awakened out of a sound
sleep by a severe pain in the arm, and
upon examination found the point of a
needle coming through the flesh. The
needle was pulled out and found to be
three-fourths of a n inch long aud very
rusty. He remembered running a needle
in his foot when he was a child, and
after twenty years it now makes its APP,

Three years soldier.
Six years Congressman.
Seven years governor,
Not a weak spot in his record.
The granting of ten votes to Dakota
was not for the purpose of obtaining
votes for any other candidate, as the dele
gates were pledged not to reveal their
preferences. 1t was intended more as a
rebuke to the Democratic administration,
which refused to admit North and South
Dakota to the sisterhood Of states. The
Dakota delegation was one of the most
harmonious in Chicago. The action of
the national committee in giving Da.
kota ten votes, although she was really
entitled to but two, is not without prece-
dent. Colorado was allowed six votes as
early as 1868, although she was not adj
mitted into the union Until 1876. The
delegation is headed by Judge Il. @.
Moody, senator-elect from Deadwood,

But the badges of the delegates we're
lost in the badges of the crowd. There
was hardly a visitor in the city who was
not wearing a badge of some description.
The visitors had a larger collection of
favorite sons than the delegates. Here
and there was a Foraker badge among
the visitors from Ohio. Ladies in the
hotels were wearing the badges of their
