TENAcITY OF THE SENTIMENT FOR BLAINE
The announcement telegraphed from Denver
that the delegations from California, Oregon and
Nevada had held a meeting there to-day, on their
way to Chicago and had passed resolutions de-
rhanding Blaine and no other candidate, was heard
here tonight with interest rs another proof OF
the extraordinary tenacity Of the Blaine sentiment
The workers for Sherman, who have not been
numerous up to this time. reinforced to-day
by Ex-Governor Foster, ex-Congressman Amos
Townsend and number of others. All werc
Jealous and all united in the declaration that
the Ohio delegation is sincerely for Sherman
They claim 300 votes for Sherman the first
ballot and some of the more sanguine of them
predict his nomination the second ballot
An enthusiastic meeting Of Indiana friends Of
Judge Gresham was held tonight in the Gresham
headquarters in the Grand Pacific. No member OF
the Indian delegation was present General Lew
Wallace, ex-Mnister to Turkey, and author of
Ben Hur,' has arrived 10 work for Harrison. IL
becomes steadily more apparent that the Gresham
movement lacks organization and leadership
shrewd observer was asked to-day if he thought
that there were many Blaine men in the Gresham
movement outside of Illinois and Minnesota. He
said he thought not 1t seemed to him that the
sentiment of the Blaine men generally was unfavor-
able TO Gresham because he got much OF his sup
port from Blaine's enemies, and for that reason he
believed Greshams nomination an impossibility.
Mr. PHELPS AND THE vICE-PREsIDENCY.
In view Of the Uncertainty surrounding the
nomination for the head Of the ticket comparatively
little attention has been paid to the VicePresi-
dency. The name most frequently mentioned,
however, is that of William Walter Phelps 1t
seems to be regarded as also settled-at least un-
til the New-York delegation shall have been heard
! from-that Western man must be chosen for
the Presidential nomination. OF course, such
view may at any moment undergo material
change, but, as things to shape themselves
now, it is probable that the Vice-Presidency will
| 20 East. Mr.. Phelps it is argued, can carry New
Jersey as a certainty. He is strong in New-fork
and popular in Connecticut Coupled with Alli-
son. Gresham, or Harrison TO head the ticket Mr..
Phelpss name would add strength to it, and
preserve the geographical balance. Senator
Hawley and General Alger are also named.
While nothing has been determined yet as to
who is to nominate the different candidates, 1t IS
probable that General Harrisons name will be
presented to the Convention by Ex-Governor Albert
G. Porter of indianapolis; General Alger's namc
DY colonel ROBERT L. rstZer, Oh DetrOlo'
tor Sherman's by General Hastings, Attorney Gem
eral of Pennsylvania Judge Gresham, it is be-
lcved, will be nominated by Leonard SWEET, who
presented Abraham Lincoln's name in behalf OF
Illinois Just twenty eight years ago.
The statement made to-day that quite breeze
had stirred the Iowa delegation over the rivalry
Of J. p Dolliver and Congressman Henderson,
both of whom are represented as being anxious
to nominate Mr.. Allison, lacks foundation. Con-
gresham Henderson does not desire the honor
and Mr. Dolliver though an ambitious man and
young in years yet, has seen enough to be aware
that a quarrel in the delegation over so trihing
a matter might seriously embarrass Mr. Allisons
position before the Convention. Ex-Congressman
Hepburn is also mentioned as likely to be called
upou TO nominate the Iowa candidate. He
eniovs the confidence Of Senator Allison and
is. moreover member of what is generally
known as the " Des Mones Regency hence ac-
ceptable also to J. S. Clarkson. the head and
front of the Republican party in the State. Sena-
tor Farwell, Of Illinois, was among the arrivals
this morning or course, he strongly favors tho
candidacy of Judge Gresham.
