The committee appointed by the
Pacific Coast meeting yesterday was
again in session this morning. At tnis
m citing. although Senator Jones op-
posed any agreement of first
choice for Blaine, it was prac-
tically agreed that Blaine was the
favorl,e candidate of the Pacific Coast
and it was tacitly understood some
such recommendation should be made
to the proposed meeting of the Pacific
Coast delegations at 10 o'clock. The
matter of second choice was also con-
sidered by this committee, and upon a
vote being taken, General Alger was
mentioned as the probable residuary
legatee Of Blaine, the strength of the
Pacific Coast. For some reason it is
difficult as yet to explain, there was
no meeting of tie Pacific Coast delega-
tions at l o'clock, and the subsequent
proposed meeting at 5 clock was
also failure. After it had been dis
covered that it was impossible o get
