nomination. 1t is assured do not mean by this that
any stampede is likely TO be caused by the tremendous
demonstration In Mr.. shermans favor to-day, but
simply that the delegates more certain than ever
that Mr.. Sherman IS the strongest man that can be

clared that Mr.. Depews strength was just great
as ever but confessed surprise at the spOntsnety
and power of Mr. shermans ovation. 1t placed
the Senator he thought, far in the lead even If it
did not assure his nomination. That display Uf the

friends were smiling and confident usual lt was
an honor OF which Mr.. Depcw might well be proud,

himself over the reception Of his chiefs name This
was the general sentiment. The Allison men were
rather tactiturn but still hopeful
Stephen b. ElklHs said tonight that Mr.. Blalnes
ultimate nomination was, If anything, more certain
than ever before. This opinion was Endorsed By j.
