Rlumed Knight,

CHICAGO, June 19th.-There is understood to
be Blaine programme, said to be in the hands
of Elkus Manley ana some of their associates
II is not believed that Phelps, Platt or Depew
are parties to it, though Charles Emery Smith,
Calvin Wells ana all the Pennsylvania Blaine
men are believed to be in sympathy with the
movement. The programme has been to dead
lock the Convention ana then bring Blaine for
ward. The new plan is to start the cry that
Blaine is the only man who can beat Sherman
and Immediately proceed to place him in the
contest.
Blaines friends are much disturbed by the
persistence of the Caifornians, who cling TO
their determination TO place Blaine in nomi-
nation. Great efforts have been made to argue
them into an abandonment of this purpose, but
according to the last reports, Raymond
DeIoung and other California leaders were un-
yielding. If they carry out their programme

And consequent final struggle between the
Blaine and sherman forces may come cary i'll

CHICAGO, June ISth.-The eve of the Conyen-
ton finds the delegates no nearer solution of
the problem they are called upon to solve than
when they began to assemble here three DAYS
ago. The events Of the day have been few
The New York delegation has declared solidly
for Depew. The Ohio delegation shows signs
of a split, and the arrival of large numbers of
political clubs has added to the noise and blus-
ter of the situation. The first event was by far
the most important, and added not a little to
the uncertainty which reigns 1t was not unex-
pected, for it was generally known last night
that Depew had brought his delegation into
line, but the official announcement neyerthe-
less, created quite a flutter in the camps of the
Others 1t was hailed with delight by the
Gresham men. for they believed that it de-
tracted from Sherman's strength and in neg
ative way, at least, helped Gresham For the
same reason the Harrison men were happy and
more hilarious than the Blaine men, who pre-
dicted that the delegation simply meant to
stand together until the proper time should
come, when
DEPEw WOULD STEP ASIDE
And let the Blaine car roll onward in triumph.
Ex- Ex-Representative Payne of New York, who,
although not a delegate, has been close to the
managers in the delegation, says that the New
York delegates do not want Blaine, and that if
they finally desert Depew they will split at once
in all directions, and that Gresham, Allison,
sherman, Alger and Harrison will all get votes
Many of the New York men declare that they
have resolved to stand by Depew until the end
but this is received by many with allowance,
and nowhere did the news of Depews open
and ayowed candidacy create so much conster-
nation and comment as among the delegates of
the granger States
Ex Representative Valentine of Nebraska
raised his hands in wide-eyed astonishment
when he heard the news. "Depew's nomina-
ton would be the loss of a Republican Senator
in Nebraska he exclaimed.
Senator Teller of Colorado was equally pro-
nounced in his opposition to Depew "Our del
egates," ne said, ARE about equally divided
between Allison and Gresham with
ONE DEPEw IDIOT.

to cut Depew as far as possible. l doubL if Col
orado would give her Electoral votes TO Depew
If he was nominated. We can stand anybodv
else, and be defeated with dignity. With Depew

, that he need lose single Western State if the
Republicans act on the broad principle of party
interests. The absurdity of the anti-monopoly
argument urged against Mr.. Depew IN the West
will be the main topic of Mr.. Miller's speech.
John Sherman will be nominated by D. H.

by Robert f. Frazer, of Detroit, the leading ora
tor of the Wolverine State. Mr.. Frazer is large

OF face. He has powerful voice, and is spe-
cially fitted for Convention speaking.
Hon. w. p. Hepburn of Iowa, will nominate
Senator Allison of that State. Mr.. Hepburn is
one of the tayorite stump-speakers OF the
Hawkeye State. The nomination of Allison
will be seconded by J. P. Dolliver, of Ft Dodge,
Ia. delegate at-large from that State.
Mr.. Harrisons nomination will be in the
hands of Governor A. c. Porter of Indiaua He

mental characteristics Mr.. SWEET bears a marked
resemblance to Abraham Lincoln. He has a
national reputation as an advocate, and has
| never lost an important criminal case.
Mayor Filter of Philadelphia will be placed
in nomination by Charles Emory Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press. There will be no seconding
speech.
GRESHAM, ALLISON AND HARRISON.
The Chicago Tribune and other local papers,
by tEeir partisan adherence to Cir esham's cause
and their manifest unfairness 10 other candi-
dates, have embittered many delegates against
Gresham. Around the Illinois Headquarters
there is no enthusiasm, no boasting
The Allison men are, on the contrary, hope
full Senator Wilson, of Iowa, who is well
known as a conservative man, seemed to think
tonight that there was good chance for Ali
sons nomination. He thinks Allison will get
nearly hundred votes on the start.
AT Harrison's headquarters, it is claimed that
the outlook is better tor him than it has been at
any time, but no details of any accessions TO the
Harrison ranks are given, and the Indiana dele
CATION count greatly upon the fact that he is the
second choice of many delegations and that
there is no objection to him, except upon the
Pacific slope, where his proChinese record
hurts him.
ROUGH ESTIMATE OF THE VOTES.
A eruded estimate of the comparative strength
of the leading candidates on the first ballot
is given follows: Sherman 80, Alger lS0,
Gresham 100, Depew 90, Rusk 20, Filter Is,

CHICAGO, June 1sth.-Since Mr.. Depews all
nouncement that he will stand for the nomina-
ton, there have been many lively develop
ments. The first public outbreak was the ap-
pearance OF crowd of men this afternoon
wearing Depew and Foraker badges. They had
music. and they timed their steps in cadence to
the sing song New York and Ohio, New York

did not take kindly to it. She was in no
mood for any consideration of second place on
this trip When this demonstration reached
the Ohio headquarters it was met with rather
cool reception, and very soon cheers for John
sherman began to drown out the shouts for
New York and Ohio" Then the visitors tried
a new trick they shouted "Depew and Nc

this feature did not eventuate in any great re-
suits.
BUCKEYES TRUE To SHERMAN.
Just after the marching party departed on
their proselyting tour the Ohio HEADQUARTERS be-
came the scene of the most exciting event of
the season. Butterworth and Foraker appeared

CHICAGO, June 1Sth-The California delegates
passed the greater part of the afternoon parad-
ing the streets with the Missouri clubs who car

received with enthusiastic applause wherever
they marched. While there is plenty of outsiqe
hurrahing for laine it is not manifested by
delegateG or alternates who have The serious
work of the Convention To perform. The at-
tempt to unite all delegates west of the Missouri
river in support of Blaine or any one candidate,
has proven failure.
The subcommittee to whom was referred the
arrangement of programme has been unable to
agree. 1t Is not probable that anything more
will be heard of it.
THE RESULT A SEALED BOOK.
Senator Jones of Nevada said to your CORE
spondent tonight Z" 1t is utterly impossible
for any man to tell what the Convention will
do. One mans judgment is worth as much as
anotheis. My opinion is that when the last bal
lot in the Convention is taken the vote will be
between Allison and some other cand date.
DO not speak from any positive knowledge of
Alllsons str ngth, or the manner i'll which his
campaign is being conducted but from an in
tultlve feeling after examining the ground. The
vote of Nevada will probably be divided be-
tween Allison and Alger. Our people have not
been led awaytby the Blaine hurrah among the
California deleg ties.

the adoption of plank in the platform opposing

CHICAGO, June lSth.-Depew's candidacy ma
terially changes the situation. 1t lessons the
number OF votes that Alger, sherman and Har-
rison will receive on the first ballot and renders
the general situation more uncertain than ever
before. Depew made a speech to his delegation
this morning, in viii he pointed out the
New York but in New Jersey and the North
west. Senator Hiscock and ex-senator Platt
are beth opposed to Depew's candidacy but be-
ing in woeful minority they did not dare to
express themselves against him. New York's y
votes form compact nucleus around which
many other delegates may rally. Mr.. Depew

Central Railroad, would probably hurt him in

CHICAGO, June 1Sth.-This morning Greed
Raymond received the following letter:
GREENCAMP, Ohio, June 1ith.
Chairman California DeiegdtiOR National Re
publican CORUentt0n-SIR: The Republicans of
Central Ohio heartily sanction the action taken
by the delegates of your State for Jas G. Blaine
Forty thousand will be our majority for the
Plumed Knight, while we doubt Sherman's
ability to carry the State on account of his vote
and speech on the repeal of the limitation
| clause of the Pension Act. The feeling is uni
veTsal.
Signed, Chairman and Secretary of the Blaine
Club
GRESHAM's FRIENDS MAKE NO IMPRESSION.
The meeting of the California delegation was
broken up this morning by visit of the delega-
ton OF lndianians, who came TO urge the claims
OF Gresham. Several speeches were made in
his behalf. TO which ready responses were given
and the Indianiaus marched off without hay
ing produced the least impression on the Blaine
men. Later i'll the day the delegation from
Iowa, preceded by band and accompanied by
quartet of male voices, marched into the
headquarters and gave cheer for the Pacific
coast delegates.
CREED RAYMOND MAKES A WAR SPEECH.
Creed Raymond mounted a chair and made
bloody hlrt speech, denouncing the South as
enemies of the North as much in time of peace
as in war. He repeated his old simile about the
red bandana being a badge of servitude, and
called for three cheers for Blaine which were
given with will. More cheers for Allison fol-
| lowed, and one or two short speeches in his
favor were made.
A quartet sung several campaign songs and
Estee made little speech in which he said
that while the coast favored Blaine's nomina-
| tion, the Republicans of California would give
support TO the candidates of the party whoever
they might be. In the afternoon the delegates
went to the Union Station to meet the Missouri
clubs, which arrive to-day, 900 strong, to work
for Blaine.
TALK ABOUT SENATOR STANFORD.
Colonel Tom Fitch, of the San Diego Bee. ar
rived here last night and was warmly well
coined by the Californians. Edward Curtis, who
was a delegate to the Democratic National Con.
vention at st. Louis is in the city, taking appa-
rently as warm an interest in the action of the
Republican Convention as he did in that of his
own party.
There is some talk of presenting Governor
Stanford's name to the Convention as a candi-
date, but no to the present time nothing has
| been materialized.
AN UNFIXED CONVENTION.
The Convention will probably open with the
situation about as it was before delegate ar
rived in Chicago, SO far as definite trades or
combinations co. ard with the pulse of things
about the same. 1t viii be in the beginning a
fair fight between favorite sons The sherman
forces are holding well together and iG is grad
ually developing that the Harrison boom is in
the hands OF very shrewd politicians. These
