movement is stronger than ever. w
have not wavered line from our origina
programme in the support OF Blaine
There are attempts at combination
among other candidates and no one cal
tell what may happen. We may have |
| big surprise for you and we may not.''
The Gresham men have shown the
first inclination toward the possibility 0
a combination between the Blaine mef
and the Judge, One Gresham man wal
at the Leland wearing blue badge thai
spoke for Blaine and Gresham
Gresham has but little show among the
Californians; they think Harrison is 9
stronger man.
The Western States, composed Of dele
gates from each State and Territory .wes
Of the Mississippi, met at the Leland this
morning. Raymond said this organiza
ton had no reference whatever to the
Presidential question. 1t was simply an
organization to consider what the Pacific
States want, just as the New England
States might meet to agree on method
with regard to the Fisheries question.
The only break was made when Senator
Jones, of Nevada. opened out on an at
tack on Blaine. The meeting so far as
could be learned was harmonious except
for the persistence with which Jones en-
deavored to have the delegatians unite
on giving Senator Stanford, Of California,
complimentary vote. This was not
agreed upon and the meeting adjourned.
AN OVATION TO WIDOW LOGAN.
One Of the incidents Of the day was an
ovation to Mrs. John A. Logan at the
Grand Pacific. She called to make a
visitto the wife Of Stephen B. Elkins,
and as soon as it became known that
Mrs. Logan was at the Elkins apart
ments she was surrounded by number
of such distinguished leaders as Chaun-
cey M. Depew, Thos. I. Plat, Frank
Hiscock, Ben. Jones, JOS. Manly and j.
J. Clarkson. The long procession that
followed included Green B. Raum, John
P. Farwell, Attorney General Michener,
of Indiana, United States Senators Aid
rich and Hale, Hobart, of New Jersey,
Samuel Fessenden, Of Connecticut, Walk
er and Emmons Blaine, Richard Kerns,
Of St. Louis, and Colonel Croker, of San
Francisco.
QUAY AND HIS KEYSTONE YEoMANRy.
Senator Quay did what he promised
lOI outIiudu III tllO cuury lNhuAd 9beeo
delegation to-day. In the caucus he
polled thirty-six votes for Sherman,
against fourteen votes from Philadelphia
for Filler. Depew and Gresham each
got two votes. Quay says Sherman will
have sixty-five of Pennsylvania's votes,
when Filler drops out. The fact that
National Committeeman was not named
by the caucus, is construed by the Penn
sylvanians as meaning that Senator Quay
will be made Chairman of the Commit
tee in case Sherman is nominated.
NEW YORK DECLARES FOR DEPEw.
The New York delegation caucus was at
noon. Depew was chosen chairman.
Frank Hiscock was chosen as the New
York representative in the Committee on
Platform. After appointing other COM
mitteemen, a resolution was adopted,
without dissenting voice, declaring
Chauncey M. Depew the choice OF the
delegation for the Presidential nomina-
tion, and amid cheers the meeting ad-
journed, while the delegates burst into
the hall shouting, "Hurrah for Chauncey
NJ. Depew /" and giving other evidence
of their enthusiasm; nor was their ardor
dampened to any appreciable extent
when answering cheers for Allison and
Gresham came from the respective
headquarters of those candidates, nor
when the Iowa delegation marched in
front Of the New York rooms keep;Bs
step TO the refrain of "Allison, Allison,
William b. Allison" Depew held re-
ception and received many congratula-
tions upon the unanimity shown by his
delegation.
THE RAILRoADER AND THE CHANGERS.
James w. Hustled, ex-Speaker Of the
New York State Assembly, is y close
friend Of Depew's. In an interview he
said: "Depew isthe only man who can be
elected.' He declares there is no reason
to believe that granger influence in the
West will endanger Republican success
in any OF the Republican Western States,
with Depew as the candidate, and says
this cry is raised only by those having
other candidates.
George M. Gleason, OF New York, said
Depew said to me only yesterday morn
ing: II commenced work for the Wander
bits twenty-five years ago, when they
had only few hundred miles of road,
now they have ten thousand. / have
been advanced in relative proportion.
If that units me for. the candidacy can't
help it, and If it makes the majority
doubtful in any Republican State, / can't
help being candidate, and will. | am
not convinced that this is true how
ever"
