Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
WASHINGTON, June IA. Fifteen OF the
Republican senators and about fifty Of the
members of the House will be in attend
ance at the Chicago convention. Some OF
these gentlemen are already on the
grounds, and others will leave tonight,
and the rear guard will start on Saturday.
Sherman and Allison will remain here and
look after the public business. Both Of
them, however, will be in constant COM
munication with their friends and sup
porters in Chicago, and will lose nothing
by their absence from the scene Of conflict.
Mr.. Sherman, indeed, will manage his
campaign by wire. He is an experienced
tactician, and is a cooler and more capa-
BILE politician than his managers, who are
on the grounds. Moreover, he has
been taught by his experience with
his heutenants in previous national
conventions that II is we'll to exercise q
personal supervision over his own affairs,
and he will manage his campaign himself.
Mr.. Sherman, no doubt, appreciates the
danger that will exist from the presence
Of both Gov. Foraker and Mr.. Mckinley
among the Ohio delegates. Neither pos
sesses the exact characteristics OF Mr.. Gar
field. The constant communication which
will exist between the Ohio senator and
his friends in Chicago will, however, pre-
vent the springng up and growth Of either
Foraker or Mckinley boom without Mr..
Sherman hearing Of II.
Among those who have gone from
Washington to Chicago are a number OF
Sherman men, who will not admit Of tho
possibility Of anything occurring to pre-
vent his nomination. They say that he
will have 800 votes on the first ballot, ut
least 100 more on the second, and enough
TO secure the nomination on the third.
IL Is said that an understanding has
been reached between the Sherman and
Harrison men with regard TO the Gresham
boom. The Harrison men are so bitterly
opposed TO Judge Gresham that they
would gladly 60 10 any candidate TO nc.
complish his defeat II they see no hope Of
nominating their own leader.
A number OF colored delegates from the
South arc passing through here en- route
20 Chicago. They arc thoroughly divided
In their preferences, but the majority ex-
press themselves for Blaine, and Mr.. Sher-
man il not so strong with them as one
woud have supposed from the energetic
character OF his southern campaign. This
district Is entitled 10 two delegates in the
convention, and there Is contest. Perry
Carson and man named Gleason were
selected by the first convention and are
for Blaine. They leave here on Sunday
Two colorcd men named Chase and Dyson
were chosen by tho second convention and
are accredited 10 Sherman. They leave on
Saturday. MessB. Carson aud Gleason
are old politicians, and have been trying
90 use their influence on the colorcd dele
cations from the neighboring States
Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina
In the Blaine interest
