1t is taken for granted that some delegate
from those States will put Blaine in nom
ination: The Pacific coast people have the
reputation of being hustlers," and every
effort will be made by the friends of
Sherman, Harrison, Gresham, Alger and
Depew to seduce the coast delegates from
their first love. The California delegates to
the ST. Louis Convention were the first ON
the ground, as the Republican delegates
from the Golden State will be in Chicago.
In st. Louis it was California that set in
motion the movement for Thurman which
the Democratic leaders were powerless to
queiI, and 1t may be that California will
play more prominent part in the deliber-
ations OF the Republican Convention.
This sort of talk angers the supporters of
Alger, Harrison and Sherman beyond

accept the nomination, in the face of his
refusal TO be a candidate, it would in
sure his defeat at the polls. They say that
none OF the candidates who are now
scrambling for the nomination and speud-
ing their money freely would have beeu in
the race at all mad not Blaine. bv his utter
ances, practically invited them TO the con-
test. Should he run, they would not give
him their active support.
a common sense view of the situation is
that Blaineis is entirely out of the question
but the fear OF the supporters of the other
men is that, when Blaine's name is men

agreed that the delegation should be united

during its deliberations. Assurances from
Colorado were received while we were in
Denver that they would stand with us and

IN the interest of Blaines nomination. It
was agreed that if Blaine's nomination

Pacific coast delegation should act as

OF other candidates whose public career
had not been inimical to the interests of
the Pacific coast, and informally decided
not to support Sherman under any circum

other candidates were not formally con-
