Sundays Talk at Chicago.

CHICAGO, June "a.
The presidential situation is practically
unchanged. Today has brought only clear
er understanding of the conditions under
which this remarkable contest is to be fought
cut. Ora lually 1t dawned upon the conven-
tion that certain men pretending to represent
Blaine have determined to prevent the 1Om-
iuation of any other ca a1didate in order to
make BlaIne's nomination possibility. The
friends of all the other Can ildates are in
dignant that the convention should be thus
dominated by an influence which, without an
avowed candidate of its Owl, attempts first to
push the sincere candidates to the front and
then defeat them. So much feeling has
developed on this score that various cable
grams have been sent to Blaine, besides
those he is supposed to have received from
Elkins and Phelps.
In these dispatches the actual condition Of
affairs has been fully described and bad
feeling and the probable decentralization of
the party would be the result it his repre-
sentatives were permitted To continue their
tactics carefully pointed out. Ii is the gem
eral belief that some despatch from Blaine
will he read to the convention tomorrow
probably one requesting his friends TO re-
frain from voting for him. Further light
was thrown today upon the attempted coup
IN Blaines interests at 4 Z. NJ. yesterday.
A plan had been formulated TO push Blaine $
name to the front on the first or second bal
lot. Alabama was TO lead the way and be
followed by all the Blaine States in success
sion, New York joining in with fifty votes
and the Blaine men in Pennsylvania leaving
the leadership of Quay and returning to their
first love. Even Ohio, led by Gov. Foraker,
who wants the second place on the ticket,
was to contribute from 20 to 25 votes 10 tae
grand column. 1t is not known why the
scheme was abandoned.
| A Chicago man not roliticician who had
been empowered to speak for Blaine was
called into conference of Blaine leaders
just before the meeting of the convention.
He was informed of the plan in hand and
was shown a list of 423 sure and reliable
| Blaine delegates, or an assured majority. He
looked over the list and aaw it comprised
names of delegates here ostensibly for other
candidates and at once gave the dictum as
/ follows:
| This thing must come to a stop. Blaine
cannot take the nomination by riding over
the rights of any of the men now in the field.
He regards them all his friends, and knows
they have entered the contest in good faith
believing him out. You propose to draw
delegates from the supporters of these men
to undermine them and defeat them. If you
nominate him in this way a cablegram will
