SOLID FOR DEPEW.
The New York Delegation Will
ALL Vote for ChaunceY.

CHICAGO, Jnne 1.-THE uncertainty
which has surrounded New York as the
leading factor in the coming convention
has been dispelled. Tonight it was an
nounced that the delegates from the
Empire state had declared for Chauncey
N. Depew unanimously, and that under
such conditions MIR. Depew would ac
cept the honor OF having his name pre-
sented to the convention. An informal
caucus had been held, it was said, and
this result had been reached without
any friction. Subsequent investigations
verified this, and an effort was made to
see the recipient of the New York hon
ors. He had already retired, however,
and his private secretary stated
that he could not be seen. To
question of the reporter the
amenuensis said that, if the report of
New York's action was correct, Mr..
Depew was now really before the con-
vention. Ex-Collector ". II. Robertson
stated that the result as indicated had
been reached, and that Mr.. Depew's
name would be placed before the con-
ventiou as the choice of New York.
"And we are not going to confine our
fine ourselves to New York alOne," he
continued: 1--WE are going straight to
Qictory. There has not been,as much as
a scratch on the surface. Everything is
unanimous. New York stands tonight
as one man, and MI. Depew is the

LATEST FIGURES.
Sherman VIII Have 800 Votes on
the First Ballot.

the First Ballot.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 17.-The latest estimate
on the strength of the leading candi-
dates gives: Sherman, $50; Gresham,
230; Alger, 157; Allison, SO; Harrison,
Sc. AS there will be total vote of S32.
At will be necessary for choice. This
estimate does not include the candidates
who will be nominated merely out of
compliment. If the ballOting becomes
protracted it is predicted that there will
be stampede for Blaine, and this is
now being feared by many of the
boomers. The situation is one in which
big politics count, and, as tersely ex-
pressed by an Old-timer to-day: "a
conundrum which will be solved by a
dozen men or an accident or two"
New York certainly holds the reins,
but everybody acts as if afraid to make
a move or show a hand. Monday will
doubtless bring with it some develop
mentS of real Importance. A meeting
of all the New England state delegates
is to be held tomorrow morning with
view to uniting on one candidate. The
indications appear to be that Sherman
will secure their support. Frederick
Douglass is the latest acquisition to the
Sherman forces. He came direct from
Washington and is Quartered at the
Grand Pacific. Col. Hooker, of Yer
mont, member of the national COM
mittee, says that the decision of the
committee allowing both the Malone
and anti-Mahone delegates to sit in the
convention, depriving the Malone men
of votes, is the result of combination
of the friends of other candidates
against the Sherman men. There is a
possibility that the Malone fight will be
carried iIIIn the convention

DAKOTA AND WASHINGTON.
Twelve Votes That Several Candi-
dates Want.

CHICAGO, June ia totally new
element was made apparent tonight,
when the Dakota men and the Wash
ington Territory contingent, with
twelve big votes that nobody had been
figuring on, began to talk openly of
taking care of their friends. The gen
eral furry that followed this announce
ment showed that its Importance was
not underestimated. Twelve good votes,
or any part of them was an acquisition
not to be ignored in game so sharply
played as the one in which the Repub-
lican presidential nomination is the
stake. People whose favorites' adher-
ents had not beeu with Dakota from
the start showed visible symptoms of
nervousness, and those who had climbed
into the Dakota band wagon at the last
moment were being congratulated on all
sides for their sheewdnesss. Sherman's
friends were eXultant. Dakota'S cause
been ably championed in the national
committee from the very outset by Col.
Hooker, of Vermont, whose merits as a
politician and a pronounced Sherman
man are recognized generally. Alli-
sons advocates also put in claim on
Dakota'S good will in return for the SER
vices of j. S. Clarkson, who also stood
by the Dakota men in the national COM
mittee. The change to Dakota last
night of John G. New, of Indiana, and
Lawson, of New York, both me embers
of the national committee, was inter-
preted in the lobbies this evening to
mean that Harrison would welcome and
perhaps had a mortgage on some fresh
support from Dakota, and that the am
bitiOn of Warner Miller, of New York,
to be chairman of the convention would
receive help from the same source.
Mum was the word with the DakotianS
as soon as the news was well spread.
j. M. Bailey, of Dakota, who has done
the clevereSt work for the territory be-
fore the national committee, acted as
spokesman whena any information regard
ing how the additional delegates would
the Dakota headquarters. InQuirerS
were received with extreme suavity.
and if possible sent away in good
humor, but none were presented with
any large chunks of the desired
knowledge as to what Dakota would do.
Mr.. Bailey assured reporter during
the evening that the delegation had not
yet settled upon a particular candidate.
The fact of the matter is that the twelve
additional Dakota and Washington
delegates are not yet entirely certain of
sitting in the permanent organization
of the convention and voting Oh preSi-
dental candidates. The credentials
committee will have say on the sub
ject, and if adverse to Dakota the real
fun will at once begin. A scramble of
presidential candidates right on the
floor of the convention after Dakota's
vote seems tonight as likely enough to
be the extremely picturesque outcome.

DEPEW WOULD TAKE 1T.
An Important Interview With the
New York Candidate.

CHICAGO, June 17.-Ballard Smith
telegraphs to the New York World to-
night the following:
The situation tonight more and more
centers upon the consent of Mr.. Depew
TO run and the action of the New York
delegation as to presenting his name.
1t may be stated with great confidence
now, at midnight. that if Mr.. Depew
will permit his name to be used at least
sixty of the sevent-two New York dele
gateswill vote at the meeting tomorrow
to presentohis name. 1t is more than
likely that the delegation will be unani-
nous. l have had a long talk
with Mr.. Depew tonight, some
parts of which he permits. me
to use for publication. While he is not
yet prepared to say that he will allow
his name to be presented, and perhaps
has not yet fully made up his mind, l
think | am justified in predicting that
unless some untoward event occurs be-
fore the meeting of the delegation, his
name will be presented to the conven-
tion with his consent. 1t is more and
more probable that if the New York
delegation unites upon him with any
substantial unanimity, and shows to

THE CALIFORNIANS
Continue to Want Blaine Nomi-
mated Badly.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June Whether the
Californians will persist in nominating
and supporting Blaine is still the ques-
tion of the hour. They say that they
will, and this evening they brought into
existence a Northwestern Blaine asso-
citation for the purpose OF giving the
boom the advantage of organization.
The managers of the other bOoms are
hoping that the California people will
listen to wiser cOunSels before next
"Wednesday and make up their minds to
let the Maine man alone. That they will
do this, however, is extremely doubt
full. A dispatch was received at the
Leland to-day, saying that 1900 Blaine
shouters from various points in Kansas
and Missouri would leave Kansas City
tonight on special train, and that every
man would take with him a flag with
the inscription "Blaine by Acclama-
tion." Blaine contlngents are also ex-
pected from other points, and altogether
there will be plenty of outward demon
stration to encourage the CalifornianS
to persevere with their plans. In the
event of third communication being
received from Mr.. Blaine, or any other
circumstance compelling change of
base, their support will go to Depew, if
he is really in the race. If he is out of
it, Alger can depend upon three
fifths of the delegation, while
Gresham will get the remainder.
Hon. George Gorham thinks that at the
present time no mans opinion as to the
outcome is of any value; that wager
in favor of any candidate against the
field would be a poor one at any odds.
He also considers New York the pivotal
state, and says if that delegation should
smile on Mr.. Alger, it would be only to
place him next to John Sherman on the
first ballot. Mr.. Gorham refers to
Messrs. Sherman, Allison, Harrison and
Hawley as having had the misfortune
to vote upon antl-Chinese measures In
the senate. In his opinion the friends
of Judge Gresham will be quite content
| if their candidate shall be second or
even third at the outset.
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-06-18
THE SOUTHERNERS.
Most Of Them Will Vote for Sher-
man.

CHICAGO, Jvne 17.-As near as can be
ascertained tonight, Sherman will have
at least dozen or fifteen of the twenty
delegates from South Carolina at the
start. There will be meet
ing of the delegation probably
tomorrow. All the Alabama dele
gates except Mr.. Threet and one
other reached the headquarters allotted
them at the Sherman to-day. John w.
Jones, colored, delegate at large, said:
1--WE cannot give an electoral vote to the
nominee. and we do not think we should
dictate. We came prepared to give our
votes to the best man and whoever the
North wants. Most of US have prefer
ences, but we are willing to yield them.
l should say twelve or fifteen of our
delegates are for Sherman. Alger has
three or four of the Others"
Another delegate, D. n. Cooper, said:
Zone or two of US, think. are favora-
Bile to Gresham" Mr.. Cooper added
that Judge Gresham was respected by
all the Alabama delegates, but they had
the impression that he was local can
jdidate.
"The Sherman men were we'll in
formed as to when the South Carolina
and Alabama delegations would arrive.
A dozen of them badged Ohio were
lettering around waiting to receive the
Southerners effusively. The Harrison
contingent was also at the Sherman in
moderate force.

THIS is OFFICIAL.
Depew Formally Declares Himself
in the Race.

CHICAGO, June 17.-Chauncey NJ.
Depew finished his survey of the situa-
tion tonight and determined to permit
his name to go before the convention.
He announced this conclusion to Sena-
tor Hiscock, Mr.. Phelps and sew
eral other gentlemen. Although Mr..
Depew was understood to be candi-
date from the first, he had not until
that moment formally announced to his
friends that he would seek or accept
the nomination. So much had been
said about the feeling against Mr..
Depew in the granger states be-
ing so strong that his candi-
dacy would be hopeless that
MIR. Depew desired to find out for him
self what that feeling was. To-day he
received such assurances from Mime
sofa and other states which had before
been reckoned as against him that he
finally decided to go into the contest.
When MIR. Depew's determination
was made known meeting of the New
York delegation was called, and the
matter was laid before the body, who at
once resolved to support him with the
whole strength of the delegation. 1t
was positively stated at the meeting
that Mr.. Depew would receive the whole
vote of New York, the votes of New
Jersey and Connecticut, and sufficient
delegates in Minnesota and elsewhere
to bring his strength on the first ballot
