 CHICAGO, June 18.-M. M. Estee, of Cali.
 fornia, will, from every indication tonight, 1 be the permanent chairman of the Republi-
 can national convention. The Republican
 leaders have wished to propitiate the Pacific
 coast and Estee might have had the tempo rary chairmanship had not Thurston of Ne braska appeared first and obtained the neces-
 sary pledges for the place. Stephen B. El- kins said to night: "Immediately on my ar rival saw the inevitable clash among the friends of Estee and Thurston. I tried to
 effect a compromise but could not. To-day in the meeting of the National committee the
 clash came and it was evident to all present that hard feeling was the result. Now the | majority of the committeeman were
 anxious to stop any such trouble and there was not man on | the committee who would not have been glad \ of the chance if unavoidable circumstances | had not prevented to do the handsome thing \ by the Californians-to surpass in fact what ever the Democrats did or could do. So 8 \ number of us have been around to the va rious State caucuses and have secured pledges that nearly all the members of the committee on permanent organization shall vote to put in Estee, of California, for per. \ manent chairman. The Pacific slope deserves ' to get recognition and everybody is glad, as the thing has been done so we'll"
 Senator Quay did what he promised for Sherman in the delegation to-day. In the caucus he boiled 36 votes for Sherman against IA votes from Philadelphia for Mayor Fitler. Depew and Gresham each got two votes and Quay said shortly after the caucus \ that Sherman would have 65 of Pennsylva- nia's vote when MT. Fitler dropped out as he ' would after the first or second ballot. Fit ' ler's candidacy is simply the result of the trucking of local politicians to the vanity of man who holds supreme control of all the patronage in the city. There is every reason to believe that Quay can, hold the Pennsylva- mia strength for Sherman as long as he cares to do so.
 The men who will make the nominating speeches have been decided upon. At the caucus of the New York delegation to-day it was decided that Mir. Depew should be placed in nomination by Senator Warner Miller of New York. The speech in second ing the nomination will probably be made by General Knapp, although the delegation has not decided whether to have seconding speech. MT. Sherman will be nominated by D. Fl. Hastings, adjutant general of Penn- sylvania. Governor Foraker, of Ohio, will second the nomination. The speech placing Governor Alger in nomina-
 tion will be made by Robert E. of Clarende, Ia., will nominate Senator AL lison. Mir. Harrison's nomination will be in the hands of ex-Governor A G. Porter of Indiana. The name of Mayor Filler of Phila- delphia will be presented by Charles Emory Smith of the Philadelphia Press There will be no seconding speeches.
 The Missouri delegation this afternoonyoted 24-5, to place before the convention as pres idential candidate ex-Senator John B. Hen- derson, who was permanent chairman of the last convention. Colonel D. Pat Dwyer, of St. Louis, or Congressman William Warner, of Kansas City, will make the nomination. The solid vote of the delegation is not expected for Henderson as two votes are for Blaine, first, last and forever, and three are solid for Sherman. twice to-day. The feasibility of voting with New York on the first ballot for Depew was considered and the Connecticut men, at least six of them, strongly urged this course of \ action. Without deciding to take up the \ cause of any one candidate at first, 6 sugges- | tion was made that committee be appointed | to confer with the managers of the various I booms and report to 8 meeting tomorrow night. day by the declared candidacy of Depew. l While supported unanimously by his State l his boom makes little headway. There were rumors of whole delegations from New Eng land and the Northwest going over to Depew, but careful investigation develops the fact that the Northwest has but few votes for him, and while Connecticut is disposed to l favor him, movement is on foot with one committeeman appointed from each State toyhold that section aloof from the Depew candidacy. It has been stated that New Jersey was for Depew, but Mir. Phelps says he knows of no vote for Depew in his State. At this writing the Depew move ment is confined to New York and a few scattering votes. The one positive, measure able quantity is the Sherman force, which numbers 275. It is g. contingent which does not seem to grow. Depew's candidacy takes from Sherman 10 or 12 votes in New York, and the growth of the Blaine feeling has taken from the large vote. promised in Massachusetts by Senator Hoar. The western States have decided to weaken him. The Blaine programme is in the hands of ElkiDs, Manley, Karens and some of their associates. It is not believed Phelps, Platt or Depew are parties to it though Charles Emery Smith, the Pennsyl- vania Blaine man, is believed to be in sym pathY with the movement. The Blaine pro- gramme is ro start the cry that Blaine is the only man who can beat Sherman and immediately pro- ceed to place him in the contest. Harrison is looming up as formidable can didate and is now next in strength to Sher- man. New England will probable divide its votes between Alaer end Harrieon, the latter being held in greater favor. Allison is in fair position with perhaps fifty votes at the start. Gresham has undoubtedly gained to- day.
 Connecticut has decided to put Hawley's name in nomination.
