could not do. Another delegate
stated that Mckinley had thi:

From a gentleman high up in the
councils of
THE BLAINE FACTION
in the Chicago convention, the follow
ing points we're learned this evening".
A general satisfaction is felt by those
having Blaine's interests in hand at the
display and forbearance on the part of
the California delegation in managing
Blaiue's interests On the floor of the
convention. Through the efforts of the
leaders ia the party and able manage
ment, the CalitornIaDs- have 50
suppressed the Blaine movement
in the convention as to cause no
Affection or feeling On the part of any
other candidates. Their tactics have
been, so they claim, in keeping with the
feelings OF Blaine as represented here
by his friends. 1t was BlaiDe's desire
that every candidate who had been
working for months to secure the great
prize of the Presidential nomination,
should have lair show on the floor of
the convention, and not have to combat
Blaine's great strength and popularity.
In difference to these, the managers of
the California Convention, when they
first met, sought out the other delega-
ton and with great effect secured the
of The GRITTY of them o.
vote for other Candidates as long as
any of them had any show. That this
was done is evidenced more by one of
the most peculiar roll calls ever known
IN national convention, but five States
cast solid votes continuously, the others
being split up and one delegation (Da-
kota) gave each candidate in the nomi-
nation vote and Filter two, thereby
causing great amusement among those
who knew the meaning of the move.
B 'aine's managers think the time has
,ome now to assert themselves; they |
claim to have given other candidates |
every opportunity to secure the nomi- |
lattOn. The convention has been |
since yesterday morning
md they think it has been clearly
that neither Sherman
Gresham, Allison nor Alger have any
urther chance, so at the next session of
he convention, it is confidently ex-
)ected the Blaine men will demand
heir candidates nomination, and will
how their full strength.
GENERAL REVIEW.
Elkins claims large majority of the
convention is for Blaine, and says
Blaine can be nominated the moment
lie gives the word. Other figures are
lot so favorable TO Blaine as these, and |

st of reliable Blaine delegates pre-
,arad by his ledtenants after a
ersonal canvass, and it contains the
