The WASHINGTON END.

Washington special oath: The promi.
nent presidential sspIrsnts located at
present in Washington surprised eyesy-
body around the capitol by appearing
there bright and early this morning.
They were accompanied by Senator Don
Cameron, of Pennsylvania. This fact
in itself was additional cause for com
ment, for the reason that until yesterday
afternoon the Pennsylvanian senator has
not been srusted by Allison or Sherman.
Late yesterday afternoon they sent for
Don and have been in conference with
him more or less ever since, It was also
at 10 o'clock this mornipg'tha Sherman
and Allison, accompanied by Senators
Cameron and aawley, went up to the
office OF the secretary of the senate,
where he special run for their accom-
mediation is located. For three hours
and o half continuously they convsrsed
with their Chicago mansgel Both
Sherman and Allison seem to thoroughly
understand each other and are working
jointly. 1t is said that Mr.. Sherman
would much prefer to have Blaine re-
ceiye the nomination than have it 40 to
Mckinley or any other Ohio man. III
Blaine is to be the choice they went the
ticket to be Blame and Harrison,

control 5l3 votes in the convention
which they can command on any ballot
that they want for Blaine. The only
reason, it is said, that they haye not
done it before was that they believed il
policy to give the other sspirants ali the
string and time that they wanted before
running their locomotive over them.
They wanted them to get ont OF the
way and not remain on the track and be
crushed to death by Blame. There is q
suspicion among the friends OF the new
leaders IN the republican party that the
old wheel horses have combined to crush
others, and assist ID III the "h dahih a4ga tiSd fP ~
the man from Maine. II is stated on
good authority chat Allison, Sherman
and Hawley felt bitter against Blaine,
and that they express themselves as
having been tricked. Ii Blaine is made
the nominee for first place Sherman will
and is doing all he can to defeat ths sci.
cotton oil an Ohio man for his running
mate. He was to-day reported TO be
especialiys bitter towards Governor
Foraker, and it is said that he didn't
want Mckinley nominated for first
place. In any conferences that have
been going on to-day at Chicago the
wishes OF both the aspirants from Ohio
and lowe have been known 20 tho lead,
ers. They remained OF the capitol until
q late hour this morning, when they went
home to dinner.
Tonight one OF Mr.. Sherman's friends
called upon ut his home on K street and
they discussed the outlook. Senate,
Sherman stated that he did not want to
be subjected to any newspaper interview
and admonished his friend not to quote
him to newspaper men. I have it, how
ever, that Mf. Sherman was in q very
cheerful mood and expressed himself az
not only being in the race bat hav-
ing q very good chance OF success, He
said he had the fullest confidence il
Governor Foraker nnd the statement
credited to him to the effect shat the
governor would support Blaine and
leave the Ohio candidate, were incorrect
that Foraker WAS true to the instructions
given him when chosen a candidate. Eli
said regarding the Mckinley matter that
the scheme to fash him upon the con
y~sntion tomorrow against Mr.. Blaine
had ali been fixed and that Major nj,
