strength.
. GouNcIL BLUFFS, June 15..The train
bearing the Pacific Coast delegation, repre-
senting forty-two votes in all, whistled
into the Omaha depotin gorgeous array
oil bunting, flags and campaign emblems at
half past three O'Clock this afternoon. The
local committee on reception which was on
hand at once caught the sentiment OF the
coasters by Haunting an American flag,
with a portrait OF Blaine pinned over the
field OF the stars. There was q general
croWding about this banner. are all
for Blaine was the general cry and one OF
the delegates added Yes, it's Blame or
BUST The views OF the delegates indicated
that at any rate the Paciic Coast deiega-
ton proposes to make this enthusiastic
Blaine boast as near literally true as possi-
Bile. Three things became at once evident
when a poll had been made oil the forty-
two delegates on the coasters train: First,
THE BLAINE MOVEMENT,
if there is to be any in the convention, can
on the Pacific Coast from start to
finish. second, that the demand will be
made that the Pacific Coast have either
the temporary or permanentchairman and
that M. NJ. Estee, one OF the d~eltgatts at
large, is to be the man presented for tins
and third. that neither Etlefnla. y
nor Allison are likely at any time to get
votes from the Coasters at a time when
these votes would be necessary to nomi-
nate. Upon these last Two points here is

encouraged by a number OF leading dele

delegates at large, who says unless the
question OF protection is considered and
a strong protectionist nominated, the Pa
cifie coast will be in danger, and tina no
man who has a faint of free trade can

matters are now, W are all for Blaine, and
we think he can and will be nominated.
We want Estee for temporary or perma-

delegation have received information from
Chicago since they have started from here
that here is d
MOVEMENT TO CoNCEDE
the temporary or permanent Craftsmanship
to the Pacific Coast and have telegraphed
to these who have sent. out this word to
hold on to that proposition, but to present
no name but that of Estee, for whom the
entire coast will be united. Chairman
Jones of the National Committee has also
~telegraphed to this effect. The delegation
will march from the depot to the head
quarters in Chicago tomorrow, headed by a
silk banner four feet wide, five and a hall
feet long, inscribed in large gold letters:
Blaine and Protection"
