special Dlspatch to The EVENING STAR.
CHICAGO. June 25.-They expect to do 1t to-day
They may Nail, but probably will not. Many
rapid changes have occurred during the past
forty Eight hours, but Monday morning opens as
did Saturday, with all the possibilities and un-
eertainties OF that hour.
No one appears to have an honest doubt that
Blaine can and could have been at any time since
the second day OF the convention nominated by
good majority.
Blaine Men in No Hurry.
But that is not what the Blaine men want. It.
not clear how the Maine statesman could accept a
nomination not practically unanimous until 1t is
possibly get the nomination.
For this reason the Blaine men have waited and
are waiting.
Strong Ansi.Blaine Talk.
The strongest anti-Blaine talk yet heard was
that current yesterday. The mention of Mr..
Blaine's magnetic name appeared TO galvantze
the corpses OF the other candidates, as an irrev-
erent politician put IL, and they all jumped up to
say that they were not dead yet
The anti-Blaine night then began with more
enthusiasm and with better organization than
1t had up 10 that time shown. The adjourn
ment Saturday afternoon was the result OF
a misunderstanding and was a blunder. There
was general feeling OF dissatisfaction and disgust
when IL was settled that the convention was to 90
the night trains for home.
Even some OF the delegates departed leaving
their votes to the alternates Since the fireworks.
Blaine demonstration, Saturday night, the city
has been comparatively quiet. The mob of
shouters have cleared out.
Hard W Orking Politicians.
More right down hare and practical political
work was done yesterday and is being done this
morning than the politicians have heretofore been
inspired TO.
most determined anti Blaine night is going on.
1t has succeeded in taking away the confidence
held by Depew, Manley, Elkins ct al, and max
ing Them work at high pressure all day
sunday and all last night. Up to this moment
the trouble has been with those oppos-
body. With the turn AFFAIRS TOOK yesterday

was not out OF the ngnt yet.
FORAKER INTRIGUING AGAINST MCKINLEY.
To relieve Mr.. Mckinly from further temptation,
Gov. Foraker, while declaring that shesman no
longer nad chance for the nomination began TO set
up pins against the Little Napoleon" anc to draw
OF some OF the Ohio votes for Blaine with the
hope. IL Is asserted OF getting second the ticket
ton from NJ sherman that he was not yet out OF
the race; that he intended to continue the con-
test, and hoped 10 win.
BOOMING SHERMAN AFREsH.
The attempt was at once made TO combine on
sherman, and up TO l2 O'Clock last night there
was more active sherman sentiment and more
talk OF his nomination than there has
been during the past week. There was
talk OF solid New York and Pennsylvania delega-
tons, and combination with Alger for Sherman,
and bets werc made on his receiving the nOnina-
ton this morning.
OTHER CANDIDATES TAKE HEART
Later, It developed that the concentrated attack
on Blaine has encouraged all the other candidates
with the hope on the part OF each that he might
be the beneficiary OF any set back to the
Maine statesman. and they all stinened up,
their friend agreeing 10 stand by them. Thus
efforts 10 agree upon one man failed, and the
situation has got back 10 where it was. The
Mes York men, according 10 the latest report,
