Talks With the DELEGATIONS.


Talks With the Delegations.
CHICAGO, June 15.-The situation as pre-
sented thus early in the skirmish is most per.
picking one. Among the most significant de-
velopments of today is the revival of the taIk
of Blaine. Dispatches from the Pacific coast
delegation, which is expected in the morning.
are to the OBJECT that the special train bears q
banner inscribed "Blaine and Protection
The California men have been the chief topic
of conversation here today, and men who
still insist upon the nomination of Blaine have
been more bold than ever before There has
been considerable activity among politicians
who are regarded as belonging>to the Blaine
guard. r. c. Kerans is here in consultation
with Secretary Fessenden, of Connecticut. and
both have been in happy mood ever since ths
news was received from the Californians.
DEPEw's CHANCES.
1t is now considered certain by the New
York men who have reached here, that DepeW
will ask the convention to present his name
Up to this evening Depew's candidacy has not
been generally regarded as a serious one, and
polltlelans have made many calculations ON
New YORK Endorsement of one of the western
candidates. 1t is now practically settled that
the empire state will present a candidate Of its
own, and this adds another element of un-
certainty to situation already nearly
chaotic
One of the strongest lines of organization
and certain following is the Sherman contn-
gent, and the feature of today's canvass has
been the confidence of the Ohio senator's fol-
lowers in his nomination before the fifth
ballot. Conger, Murat Halstead, Mark Hanna.
Senator Quay and Congressman Butterworth
are all quoted tonight as saying Sherman is
sure OF the nomination; that he will have 325
votes only the. first ballot. What appears
like an effort to deceive Sher-
man of the support of Hanna has developed in
the candidacy of Mayor Filter, of Phila-
delphia.
THE FITLER 30 M.
Charles Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia
q 1,ac haa,, He
credited with bringing out Filter, probably
with desire to prevent the Blaine men Of
that state being captured for Sherman. Sena-
tor Quay smiles when Filter is mentioned to
him and declares Sherman will have forty-fv
to fifty votes in Pennsylvania, whenever they
are wanted. AS yet there are few develop.
ments of real interest Up to tonight, not
much more than 100 delegates had arrived.
HURRAHING FOR HARRISON.
WV. Dudley, ex-commissioner of pensions.
arrived todaywith the delegation from Indiana;
He said there are 1872 electoral votes which
any man who has yet been mentioned for
nominee can get easily. This is assured No
matter who the republicans may nominate he
is sure of 1S2 votes. To elect him will require
nineteen more votes Where will they come
from? They must come from the states which
Blaine didn't carry four years ago-New York,
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. Now,
we propose to &e republican party to give
them fifteen of those necessary nineteen votes
if they will give us Harrison as candidate.
We can promise these fifteen votes with the
absolute certainty that he will carry them
That will leave only four votes and if they
can't hunt up tail for ticket that will carry
four votes the party may as we'll throw up the
sponge.
PENNSYLVANIA FOR SHERMAN.
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, arrived this
morning.
"The Pennsylvania delegation so far as I
know" he said twill be for Sherman. The
sentiment of a large majority of them are I'm.
Il III ,r-f,N c,,.o %
there is no serious opposition to him anywhers
in the state, so you may easily judge how the
delegation will go. Sherman is unquestionably
the strongest man in the race. He will get
| some support in New York, probably some ten
votes after the first ballot which will be fox
Depew. After that think that the Sherman
vote will be increased steadily till his nomina-
ton"
