CucAGo, ILL., June 93.-When l tcle-
graphed last night that Harrison was
going to head the ticket, | had Just con-
cludcd the tapping Of all the main
sources at information, and it appeared
beyond question that Harrison bad
enough to nominate him this morning.
now believe more firmly that he bad,
but they got away.
The movement was not tstrong enough
10 resist assaults from without, and
Blaine feeling within. It was one OF
those enterprises in politics which re-
Quirc quick work. The high muck.a-
macks in the Blaine camp bad doReaN
they could to bring the thing about and
keep it in motion, but it was no use.
Harrison was
GONE coon SKIN"
before the convention met. Quay, pro-
Tossing to be the solidest OF Shermcn
men, coquetted with everybody and held
out the hope that on the first ballot
Pennsylvania would come in right.
Ayers friends took fresh courage; so
did Grcsham's and Alison's. lie was
wonderfully helped in his vancouver by
desire of the great majority OF the
Convention to get Blaine, and it was
hoped that il the Harrison boom were
thrown Nt Blaine he would loom up MS
the only man who could be nominated.
Quay doesn't want Blaine, but it may
turn out that he has contributed large
lyto
THE rLuMED KNIGHTS SELECTION
by helping to kill Off the one movement
which at any time has promised sue
cess Ms against Blaine.
Between the morning and evening
sessions Blaine got to going very fast,
for it got out that Blaine's nearest
friends, disgusted with the failure OF
the Harrison scheme, had let go and
would try to sweep back the ocean with
their little brooms, Dcpew's prediction
that the first ballot of the session would
nominate Blaine, was accepted as

for pepcw was supposed to know what
he was talking abont. So it might have
been, il the adjournment had not cont
like clap OF thunder. The adjourn
ment was blunder and another proc
that nobody is managing this Conven
ton. 1t has its own way, and u pecuiia
way it is. Ex-senator Platt, Of NeV
York, told the Caliiornians and othe
Blaine men, that his delegation wSnte,
time and so desired recess, after whicl
he would be ready to poll an almost, !
not quite, solid vote for Blaine. Thi
was good news and the smaller delcga
tons
WHEELED INTO LINE.
New York couldn't understand what wa
going on, and as she didn't want a re
cess, voted agatnstit. The Empire Stat
delegation was hot against Plat, an
Husted told the Pacific Coasters thg
hereafter when they wanted to kno'
New iork's position to ask Chairma
DePcw, through whom the delegatio
would speak. Those Blaine men VIII
are willing to have somebody else tina

At the same time they complain tn
promises have been made to them on
to be broken. One trouble with Cir,
