CHICAGO, June 24th.-The Convention
was called to order shortly after 10 o'clock
yesterday by Warner Miller of New York,

one, or perhaps two, ballots.
The roll-call proceeded for the fourth

CHICAGO, June 23d-P. M.-Harrison was
lnterVlewed at his home in Indianapolis
to-day, and said he was not seeking two
offices. He wanted to be President, but did
not want the Vice-PreAdency nor any Cab

One of the gentlemen present said "As

don't believe Blaine could carry the State

CHICAGO, June 24th.-This has been q
day of rest for everybody in Chicago, ex-
cept the weary men who are here to choose
standard bearer for the Republican party
IN the coming campaign. The day was
bright and beautiful. There was brilliant
sunshine and cool breeze. 1t was an
ideally perfect June day, and many of the
delegates, Notwithstanding their duties,
took advantage of it to visit the suburban
resorts and the beautiful parks in Chi

people were in Lincoln Park. not much
smaller number in South Park, and in
every direction could be seen the people
gathered here from all parts of the United
States-out for an airing and little rest
and relief from the tumultuous scenes that
they have taken part in during the last few
days.
Last night the situation seemed to be
that the Blaine people had command of
the situation. 1t may be that they have
the situation now, and they so claim. but

FROM ANOTHER SOURCE.
Blaine Said to be Opposed to the Tactics
of His Friends,

CHICAGO June 24th.-A review of the
political situation shows it to be practically
unchanged. To-day has brought only a
fair understanding of the condition under
which this remarkable contest is to be
fought out 1t has gradually dawned upon
the Convention that certain men who pre-
tend to represe mt Blaine had determined
to prevent the nomination of any other
candidate, in order to make Blaine's nomi-
nation possibility. The Convention as a
whole has just awakened to the realization
of the negative influence which has all
along prevented the capitalization of any
settlement and a nomination. Friends of
the other candidates are indignant that the
Convention should be denominated by an
influence which, without an avowed candi-
date of its own, attempts to push another
candidate to the front and then defeat him.
So much
FEELING HAS BEEN DEVELOPED
That various cablegrams have been sent to
Blaine besides those which he is supposed
to receive from Elkins and Phelps. In
these dispatches the actual condition of
affairs here has been fully described, and
the bad feelings and probable demoraliza-
ton of the party if his representatives are
permitted to continue their tactics, care
fully pointed out.
lQere is general Dellef that some dis
patch from Blaine will be read in the Con-
vention tomorrow requesting his friends
to abstain from voting for him.
A Chicago man, who has been empow-
cred to speak for Blaine, and who is a man
of good judgment and not politician, was
| called into conference of the Blaine lead
ers just before the meeting of the Conven-
ton yesterday afternoon and informed of
! the plan to force the nomination of Blaine,
/ and was shown list of 423 reliable Blaine
delegates, majority of the whole Conven-
! ton. This man looked over the list, saw
I it comprised the names of delegates who
are here
osTENsIBLY FOR OTHER CANDIDATES,
And at once gave his dictum as follows
This thing must come to a STOP" said be.
Blaine cannot take this nomination by
riding over the rights of any of the men
now in the field. He regards them all as
his friends, and knows they have entered
this contest in good faith, believing him to
| be out by his own act. You propose to
draw delegates from the support of these
men to undermine and defeat them. Il
! you nominate him in this way 3 cablegranl
will be received from him IN twenty min.

you will be in worse predieament thar

STAND SOLID FOR SHERMAN

This the delegation tonight is deter
mined to do. Undoubtedly there are
many warm friends of Blaine in the dele
CATION, and they have sacrificed their own
feelings up to to-day. Many of them have
sacrificed their feelings from love Of the
State and desire to see it stand solidly in
the National Convention and occupy the
proud position which it does. Others have
stood by the ticket out of their admiration
for Governor Foraker, who has worked for
and demanded this solidity of the Ohio
men. Tomorrow, if the vote of Ohio is
cast solidly for Sherman-as it now appears
II will be-there will be no man more en-
titled TO the credit OF it than Foraker.
Tonight the members of the Big
Four combinations are still at work with
their coats of, and they are circulating
among the various delegations, using all
their influence in their power for John
Sherman, and the reception they meet
everywhere is most encouraging to them.
The determination of Mr.. Sherman to re-
main in the field shuts out Mr.. Mckinley.

REVULsIoN oF FEELING

Occasloned by the carrying over of the
Convention from Saturday until Monday
and kilograms have poured in by the hun
dreds from every part of the country ex-
pressing disapprobation and even in many
cases dismay at the situation. These tele
grams express this feelihg-that if the Con-
ventlon has gone into the control of any
man or set of men who can hold it from day
TO day and paralyze its proceedings, that
such situation is discouraging to the
Republicans of the country. 1t was ex.
pected OF this Convention that they would
meet and at once harmoniously decide
upon candidate. In these dispatches.last
night an interview was given with Governor
Foraker of Ohio, in which he stated that
he would cast the vote of large contingent
of the Ohio delegation for Mr.. Blaine on
the hrst ballot tomorrow, which contin-
gent would include his own vote. This
was the expression as stated by him.
with the further statement that he had
stood by Sherman honestly and loyally
until it appeared that there was no
hope Tor his nomination. He said: There
seems to be large part of our delegation
devoted to Mr. Blaine, and they have come
to me with the statement they will no
longer vote for Sherman, and if | declare
the solid vote of Ohio for Sherman on the
first ballot tomorrow they will call for a
poil OF the delegation, and under the circum-
stances | cannot see why it is not nv duty
correctly to report the vote of the delega-
ton" To-day
THE SITUATION HAS GREATLY CHANGED,
And the Sherman men are feeling very
much encouraged, and Sherman stock is
again on the rise. Governor Foraker has
determined that he viii stand by the Sher-
man colors, and that again the solid and
united vote of Ohio shall be given to the
Ohio Senator.
THERE ARE MANY CONFLICTING RUMoRs
About the situation. 1t is said that the
confidence of the Ohio men came in some
measure from the expression dropped by
Chauncey NJ. Depew-that New York
would rather go to Sherman than to Nc
Kinley, or any other candidate
The men from the Pacific coast have ex-
pressed themselves in more friendly terms
towards Sherman, and it is thought by the
Sherman men that the fierce opposition of
the men from the Pacific has lost some
thing of the virulence of its nature since
they have studied the record of Mr.. Sher-
man and the situation has been better nm
derstood by them.

Ohio have been received at the Ohio head

break in the OHIO delegation, and entreat-
ing the delegation to

NJ KINLEY's SITUATION.

So far as the latter is concerned, he will
not allow himself to be pressed in any man
ner SO long as Mr.. Sherman remains can
didate, and with his consent will not allow
himself to be voted for until Mr.. Sherman
withdraws.
The disposition on the part of the Sher-
man men tonight is to fight the fight out
to the bitter end-to play the game out to
the end-and see who is the best man.
There is talk among some Blaine people
that all this is only another Blaine play.
They say the Convention has been held in
the hands of the Blaine people that thev
still hold it, and still hold the power; that
they have killed off one after another of
the prominent candidates, and propose to
KILL THEM ALL OFF
And nominate their man. 1t was supposed
that Mr.. Sherman was killed of, and after it
the Blaine men proceeded TO annihilate Mr..
Harrison. Mr.. Sherman's determination
to keep in the contest has shown that they
must again tackle him, and in their conf
dent tax they say that they will give Mr..
Sherman another show tomorrow and
eifectually dispose of him. At the same

The returns indicate with seeming
unerring certainty the triumphant
election of Harrison and Morton.
Returns received as late as nine
O'Clock this Wednesday, morning
indicate that New York has given a
plurality of from $4,000 to 10000
votes for Harrison. Connecticut is
strongly Republican. Indiana is
doubtful. The Blaine ; 'ates in 1884,
are solid for Harrison now. We
have only time to say that the Repub-
licans have won a magnificent victory
OF which they ought to he proud as
