Western Delegates, an Yet Carry OF

California, May Be Given the Chair
manship of the Convention.
CHICAGO, June Ism. M Estee. OF Cali
fornia, will undoubtedly from every indi-
cation tonight, be permanent chairman OF
the Republican Convention. The Pacific
/ slopemen were beaten in the matter of
temporary organization only to capture
| those OF greater honor. Estee will have
the distinction 9fsupplantingn less man
than Warner Miller, prospective Republi.
can nominee for Governor of New York.
BY common consent Miller was up tonight
for the place, but the Republican leaders
here were from the start it seems. de-
termined to be no whit behind Democrats
in St. Louis, and in Offering tokens Of
appreciation of power and good will OF
the Pacific slope.
Estee, it also seems certain tonight.
could have had the temporary chairman
ship, as requested, even though his friends
were opposing friends OF all the candidates
with their cry for Blaine, had it not been
for the extraordinarily early gathering of
the clans from nearby States and the
pledges OF these people to the Nebraska
man, Thurston, who was right on the
ground. Stephen B. Elkin said tonight:
slmmediateIy upon my arrival here saw
inevitably q clash coming between friends
OF Estee and Thurston. 1 tried to bring
about a compromise. but could not. To.
day in the meeting of the National Com.
mittee,
THE CLASH CAME
and it was evident to all present that hard |
feeling was the result. "Now," continued |
Mr.. Elkins, "a majority OF the eommi ttee
men we're anxious to stop any such trouble
and there was not man OF the committee
who would not be glad of the chance, if un-
avoldable circumstances had not prevent
I'd, to do the handsome thing by California.
So q number of us have been around TO a
number OF the state caucuses and have se-
cured pledges from nearly all the men,
oers oil the committee on permanent organ
cation to put in Estee of California for
permanent chairman OF Che convention
The Pacific coast deserves recognition and Il
everybody is glad that the thing has been
lone so well"
BOOMING Bi AINE AGAIN
The Committee appointed by the Pacific
oast meeting yesterday was again in ses-
ion this morning. At this meeting, al.
hough Senator Jones opposed any agree
nent of first choice for Blaine, it was prac-
ically agreed that Blaine was the favorite j
andidate OF tho Pacific Coast, and tacitly b
was understood that some such recon-
nendation should be made to the proposed I
Meeting of the Pacific Coast delegations at r
o'clock. II
The matter of the second choice was also
onsidered by this committee, and upon +
ote being taken, General Alger was men, / i
Toned as probable residuary legatee of n
he Blaine strength of the Pacific Coast.
or some reason difficult as yet to explain,
here was no meeting OF the Pacific Coast
eiegations at o clock, and the SUBSEQUENT
meeting at O'Clock was also
ailure. After it was discovered that it was
npossible for the Pacific Coast or Califor-
la delegations to gather at this time, SEN
tor Jones said to the Associated pross ro-
oTter: Il do moi suppose concert of action "
n the part OF the Pacific Coast delegation 81
probable before one ballot at least has "
cen taken in the convention" He said he n
i'd not believe that it was possible to unite
le Pacific Coast delegation for Blaine. He
ID not thiuk Sherman would be nomi- 81
ated, and had no idea of the Pacific Coast q
slegates going over to Depew He rather r
fought that the situation showed that the T.
)mination would be either Allison or SEN
Tor Harrison.
A prominent member of the California ei
,legation, one of the delegates at large, +
Id another district delegate from Califor- di
a. did not agree with the Nevada Senator, n
nd said the Pacific Coast was too much r
Welded TO THE BLAINE IDEA E
at he was the only candidate up6n whom OIL
e Coast could be heartily united, to T.
able Senator Jones and one or two
hers who had other results in view to :,
event hearty concurrence in any move
eat which would not put the Plumed
night at the head of the ticket.
The California delegates this evening took !,
conspicuous part in the great Blaine "
and paraded through the ell
BY with the Topeka Flambeau club. 81
ansas City Republicans formed in line in tc
ont Of the Leland hotel, where they were u
ined by the CaiiforDians with their ban =
rs and cheers for Blaine. ~
Friends OF Estee, who were chagrined this Ii
orning at the failure of the National
,mmittee to name him for temporary bt
airman OF the convention, say that but
r the accidental absence OF the Idaho
embers he would have been chosen. tl
HE FOUGHT FOR SHERMAN. u

ainst Ia votes from Philadelphia for S.
tier. Depew and Gresham each got two ell
ties. Quay says Sherman will have 65 i
the Pennsylvania votes when Filter [,
