Harrison would cause break in the dele
CATION from Indiana. II by any chance q
majority of the Indiana delegation
should go to Gresham he would become a
formidable candidate. II is said on fair
authority that Mr.. Depew's second choice
will be Allison. A ballot for President is
not expected until Thursday. Connecticut
has decided TO put Hawley's name in nom-
nation.
A summing up OF the situation tonight
weaker Depew has made only fair
start The odds are against any man in
the field, and behind all, as an almost GER
tain outcome il the convention ballots two
or three days, is Blaine.
A DARK HORSE ENTERS.
The placing of another Richmond in the
field was the result OF the meeting OF the
Missouri delegation this afternoon. There
were but three absentees and by vote OF
40 TO it was decided TO place before the
convention as a presidential candidate ex-
Senator John b. Henderson, who was per-
manent chairman Of the last national con-
vention. Col. ID. Pat Dyer, OF st. Louis,
or Congressman William Warren, Of
Kansas City, will make the nominating
speech. In the convention the solid vote
OF the delegation is not expected for this
new candidate, as two votes are for Blaine
first, last and forever, and three are solid
for Sherman.
Chauncey !. Filly's friends have in
augurated an active canvass on that gem
tleman's behalf for chairman OF the ma
tional committee.
Mrs. LOGAN HoSoRED.
One Of the pleasant incdentsoi the day,
and one that attracted great attention on
all sides, was q remarkable ovation to Mrs.
John A. Logan. The famous generals
widow paid visit to the wife OF Stephen
II. Elkins, at the rooms Of the lattcrs hus-
band in the Grand Pacific hotel, and il
was there that what proved 10 be a leyee,
which queen might have been proud Of,
began. The news that Mrs. Logan was
at Elkins' rooms spread in a few minutes,
and the lady found herself surrounded by
a number OF such distinguished leaders as
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Thomas 4. Plat,
Prank liiseosk, y, 4, Jones, Joseph II.
Manlcy and j. =. Clarks0n, WAITING 70 do
her honor. The long procession that fol.
lowed included Gen. Green II. Raum, Of
Kentucky; John V. Farwell, OF Chicago;
Attorney-ieneral Kitchener, OF Indiana;
United States Senators Aldrich and Hale
aud G.. A. llobert, Of New Jersey; Samuel
Fessenden, OF Cincinnati; Walker and
Emmons Blaine; Richard Kcrens, Of 81.
| Louis, and Col. Croker, Of San Francisco.
The impromp,u reception over, Mr.. and
Nrrs. Elkins started TO accompany Mrs.
Logan TO dinner. The moment that the
trio emerged from Mr. Elkins' apartment,
and Mrs. Logan was recognized, politicians
OF every degree, and hundreds Of old sol
dion pressed forward 10 obtain . word, or
look or hand shake from the lady who was
so familiar 10 all. As display Of cnihusi-
asn and sympathy, the result was un-
riyaled in the many stirring outbursts that
are preceding the assembling of the con.
ycntion. II required fully an hour for
Mrs. Logan, aided by the strong arm and
| herculcanppscnce OF Mr.. Elkins, 20 push q
passage through tho eager throng into the
| dining hall. The remarkable outburst was
repeated when the party attempted to
return TO the Elkins' apartments. A
passage through the upper halls Of the
hotels was the only means OF getting away
from the excited cheering crowds.
