ROSS FILLEY TALKS.
The st. Louis Man Is Hot for Jim
Blaine.

''Your state is not unanimous for any
candidate, is 1t 2" was the question put
to Chauncey l. FiIley, of st. Louis.
''NO, not exactly. Some OF thedistrict
delegates have been instructed, ard 9TH
ers refused to be instructed. One dele
CATION in particular stood up OH its
hind legs and met the offer to instruct
with a loud howl. The delegates said
that if they were instructed they would
go up to Minneapolis and vote for jim
Blaine anyhow"
Filley is typical political boss. He
is not much on style, but he is a worker.
He goes about the West hotel rotuiida.
wearing a coat that is promising can.
didate for a secondhand store and a.
piratical hat. But from beneath the
brim of that hat a pair of sharp eyes
CLEAN. They see everything that is
going On in the room. Down in Missouri
he is second to no man in the Repub
lican party. with the possible exception
of "Dick" Kerens and John Noble, see
rotary of the interior. Filley is a red
hot Blaine man. Kerens is for Harrison,
and, of course, Noble is. So in Missouri
it is one boss against two, and the two
are a little larger than the one. But
Mr.. Filley has good heart, for all that.
''How many of the delegates from
your state will Mr.. Blaine get?" was
asked of him. u
Il think that Blaine will have two.
thirds of the delegation, at the very
least calculation. Blaine is the strong
est man down there, as he is every
where. Five or six of the delegations
are instructed for Harrison, but | don't
think they will pay any attention to the
rlson on the first ballot just to please
the people who nominated them, but
they won't stay by him if there is any
fight. No, sir, the Missouri men are
for Blaine"
And Mr.. Filley's cane led him away.

declaring heatedly that the colored
voters are against Harrison, and that
the only man who can give the negro
justice in the South is Blaine. Mr..
Langston almost shouted his utterances
and brought down the palm Of his hand
on typewriter copy of communica-
ton sent to number of ministers by
the president, deploring the outrages
committed against the negroes in the
South. but stating that the constitution
prevented the president from taking
any steps to prevent the Outrages.
Mr.. Langston declared the colored
people held the balance of power in
Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania. and
might disastrously exert il ii Harrison
were nominated. He asserted that At
torney General Miller. the presidents
law partner, had proved the most I'M
friendly man TO the cOlored people that
could have been named for that place,
and that President Harrison had
snubbed the cOlOred people in the
worlds fair appointments.

The seriousness Of the situation is ap-

The following:
Prominent Republicans have begun to
arrive in considerable numbers from all
parts of the country, and the presi-
dental contest is growing i'll interest
with every hour. Men are getting I'M
duly excited. aud the two factions into
which the party is divided are begin
ming to say harsh things about each
other. The few leaders who have no
presidential preference view all this
with considerable seriousness, for,
no matter who may be the nominee,
the contest has gone so far and so
many bitter things have been said that
much bad feeling will inevitably be
engendered. 1t is no eXaggeIatiOn to
refer 10 the present situation as C OH
test, for, whether by his will or against
his will. Mr.. Blaine has been forced by
his friends into the position of pas
Sive candidate. and the Harrison people
are not unnaturally saying many cauStic
things about the secretary's position,
and insisting that good faith will COM
pei him to write another letter of de,
clinatlOn. Ii this letter should not be
forthcoming in two OF three DAYS. these
prophesles will have been proven false,
and it is impossible 10 predict what, the
convention may do. The intensity OF
the situation may lie understood when
it is stated that the representatives of
the Associated Press are questioned
every hour by anxious party leaders as
TO whether any declaration has been
made or is expected at Washington from
the secretary of state.

Officeholders in on the Cut--Lang-
ston's DenunCiatiOn.
CHICAGO, June 3.-TennesSee woke
things up in Chicago today. A portion
of the delegation from that state regis
tered at the Palmer house, and at once
paid their respects to John NJ. LangstOn,
the colored delegate from Virginia, who
is talked of for temporary chairman by
the Blaine people. The Tennesseeans
told Langston they had GLORIOUS
news" The six Harrison instructed
delegates from Tennessee, they said. had
broken loose and gone over to Blaine,
with but two exceptions.
In the party were II. B. Lindsay,
United States district attorney from the
Second district and alternate at large
from the state; Delegate j. L. Tarwater
and Delegate J. w. Conner. All these
are Blaine men. Lindsay, the office
holder, was apparently the most en-
thusiastic Of the lot. He SAID the adj
ministratiOn could have his place any
time, but he intended, he declared. to
work for Blaine. B. F. Mccarthy, who
is also an Officeholder. being Superin-
tendent of letter carriers at Nashville,
and who accompanies the party, declared
he was for Blaine. Had the state con-
vention known that Blaine would have
accepted" said he, ''Lhe delegates
would have been tied hand and foot
with instructions for him. BY the time
all the delegates get to Minneapolis
they will be for the Maine man."
LangstOn is out in an interview today

Probable Solution Of the
Situation.
The fight is growing very bitter.

The fight is growing very bitter.
Blaine and Harrison men are ready to
ay at each others Threats.
Cooler heads feel that both men must
be thrown overheard to save the party.
1t is doubtful whether in the history
Of the Republican party there ever was
such an exhibition of bad blood between
The friends and supporters of rival can
didateS for the presidential nomination.
Though it Is yet four days before the
convention, bad feeling has been worked
up 10 such pitch that an open war is
imminent. The most bitter language is
used on both sides in referring to the
claims and pretenSi0nS OF the other,
and in many cases the rival workers
and heelerS will not speak as they pass
by. Already on the floors of the West
the Interference of bystanders has been
necessary to prevent actual blows.
This condition OF affairs has been very
carefully canvassed by the cool and
thoughtful men. who think more of the
party than of the claims or preferment
Of any one man in it, and the question
of retiring both Blaine and Harrison is
being seriously agitated. In the pres
ent state OF feeling it would be suicidal
to nominate either. The greatest bit
terneSS is shown by the Blaine side of
the fight, and the Harrison mel feel
jngly say that Blaine is not really in the
fight to be nominated, but only to try
ana beat the present executive. Every
body knows the state of feeling that
exists between Harrison and Blaine
themselves. They are at constant dag
gers drawn, and that fact is freely COM
mented upon at the capital. Mrs. Blaine
and Mrs. Harrison hate each other cor
daily, and each has drawn into their
tight all the personal friends she can
control. Under no circumstances could
the differences between the rival houses
of Blaine and Harrison be recOnciled.
I lis being the situation, conservative
party leaders are asking each other the
question, how can we nominate either
of these men and then hope to win?
More was said OH this subject after the
arrival of the press train, yesterday,
than ever, and this view was shared by
several OF the brightest and best posted
of the CORES DOndeAtS. The prediction
was freely made last night that when
the day of the convention arrived the
hght would nave reached Such proper
tons that it must be apparent 10 the
most selfish partisan that it would be
the sheerest folly to think of nominating
either Blaine OF Harrison. But i'll case
this should happen and both the rival
statesmen be turned down, the cOnven-
ton would find it a great task TO unite
on a compromise candidate. He must
be man entirely free from any faint of
the present fight and that would elimi-
nate Alger in the beginning. Allison
nection, but his name did not awaken
any particular enthusiasm. Shrewd
politicians say that in such an event,
the choice will alight upon such a man
as r. B. Hayes i'll 1876, for the reason
that nobody knew him and therefore
nobody could find fault with him.

HEARTS ARE ALI RIGHT,
But the blaine Crowds Insist on
Regular HEADQUARTERS.

But the Elafne CfoWuS InSlSC ON
-'aH Regular Headquarters.
The HarrisoniteS have succeeded in
stirring up the BlanacS in the matter
of head quarters, and II is probable that
by today some sort of a regular Blaine
rendezvous will be fixed up. The office
holders have place to flock to as soon
as they arrive, and this leaves the ants
at a disadvantage. For instance, as soon
as Senator Frank IIiscock arrived he
was whiSked off to News rooms. and
the same happened the moment Chaun-
ccy |. Fllty. Gen. Lew Wallace and
ex-Gov. Yarmouth put in their APP
pearance. On the other hand,
the Blaine cohorts nave no rallying
place. and of this they are complaining.
They say that like their opponents they
must have organization or else they Will
be simply in the position of bushwhack-
erS and will fail, if for no other cause;
by lack of detail and concentration. 1t
is all very we'll they say to argue as
CiarkSon has done that Mr.. Blaine does
not need headquarters. that his cause Is
located in the hearts OF the people, and
that an organized machine movement
would deprive the Maine mans cause
OF that appearance of spontaneous sentI-
ment that is now its chief strength, but
at the same time they insist it must not

he esteemed the representative of Ten
neSSee on the national committee. He
gave his proxy as national committee
man to Ii. e. Evans, an ex-congressman
and Il Harrison man. Evans comes TO
Minneapolis with Murray's proxy, and
Hill comes as tine man chosen by the
Tennessee state convention as a men,
Der of the national committee in place
of the former member, who had moved
outOf the state. Hull will insist upon
sitting tor Tennessee, and Evans will
ask the same timing as the holder of
Murray'S proxy. The national commit
tee must decide between the two.
The national committee is supposed
to be strongly impregnated with the
Blaine sentiment. If SO, Hill will be
the man seated. Anyhow, the friends
of both Harrison and Blaine are wait
ing for the meeting of the committee.

California and Nevada Delegates
On the Rail.
OGDEN, Utah, June 3.-A special train
bearing the Republican delegation to
the national convention from California
and Nevada, arrived here this evening
via the Southern Pacific. The Cali

ton of five delegates. There are about
100 people on the delegation train. The
delegates are i'll the best of spirits, and
say thus far they have had deligh tful

On the way today the California dele

This afternoon; and what do you
think its effect will be?' was the re-
response and query put to Mr.. Clarkson.
Il think it will nominate him." Mr..
Clarks0n replied very promptly. "That
is my opinion. We think we are going
to nominate him."
'.Will anybody nominate Mr.. Blaine,
and. 1t so, whof" was asked.
II do not suppose he will be formally
placed in nominatson, but cannot tell
what course may be decided upon.
There is no organized effort in any way
for Mr.. Blaine. No one is argahizing a
movement, but it springs from the
American people, who are urging him."
"Are there any favorite SONS who will
be put in nomination, or any name ex-
cept HarrisOn's to be formally pre-
Sented?"
Its too early to talk about that. The
state delegations may decide to name
some one from their states. There are
number of good, strong men who
would make good presidents and would
he popular and who may be placed in
nomination.

a BLAINE BLUFF.
No One Had Nerve or Cash to
Call It

Call It
New YORK, June 3.-The enthusiasm
of the Blaine men and their faith in his
nomination and election was illustrated
in a remarkable bet unsucceSSfully- Of
fered on the floor of the stock exchange
yesterday Daring a lull. half an hour
after the opening of the exchange, F. t.
Adams sang out at the top of his voice:
Il will wager 5000, or any part of it,
three times, that if Blaine is nominated
at Minneapolis he will accept"
Adams was at once surrounded by
crowd. Many Of them wanted him to
give odds. One of the brokers said:
why don't you bet that Blaine will
be nominated and elected?"
''l'll do that" responded Mr.. Adams.
81 offer now to any one who wishes to
invest an additional bet of $1,000, or any
part of it, three times, that, If Mr..
Blaine accepts, he will be elected"
There were no takers, but Mr.. Adams
said the offer would stand good, and
brokers could find him at the Windsor
hotel. 1t is said that some of the sport
ing fraternity will accept the bet. Mr..
Adams is Blaine man, but it is said
that in making the remark about the
offer he is simply executing a commits
sion from Ed Gilmore.

Tammany Votes for Hill, but Sup
DOrts the Nominee

New YORK, June 3.-The Times says:
Richard Croker, Tammany chieftain,
was quoted as saying that he believed
that Senator Hill was the coming man
and would be nominated and elected.
This was at the end of an interview in
which Mr.. Croker defined the position
of Tammany as to the national conveu-
ton and criticised the actions OF the
Democrats who net at the Syracuse
convention. Mr.. Croker was asked last
night if he bad been correctly reported
as to Mr. Hill being the coming man.
Il did not say that" Mr.. Croker said.
81 have been misquoted. l did not
make that statement" Mr.. Croker was
then asked what course Tammany
would pursue at the national conven-
ton. He said Tammany's delegation
would vote for Senator Hill.
MI Croker was then asked what the
Trmmany organization would do in the
event of Mr.. Cleyeland's nomination.
''Tammany." he said, would give him
its most loyal support. What else could
it do? We would not read ourselves
out of the Democratic party and make
ourselves Republicans"

Arrival of the Correspondents
Special From Washington.
The train load of special correspond
entS from Washington arrived IN Mill
neaDols at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
after an enjoyable Journey They
left Washington shortly after midnight
OF Wednesday by the Pennsylvania
line They were under the personal
escort of George W. Boyd, which was
an advance guarantee of pleasant
trip. The train made only water and
order stops until it reached Chicago at
12:l0 o'clock Thursday night. There
the ears were transferred to the tracks
OF the Chicago. Milwaukee .tS ST. Paul
road, and W. w. IIeafford eastern
passenger agent took charge of the
tram. The first morning was spent by
many of the travellers in the observation
car studying the beauties of the mount
ain scenery on the line of the Pennsyl-
vania. On the second morning the train
passed through the most picturesque
part of the Chicago, Milwaukee x ST.
Mississippi, the Hudson river of the
West. What might have been very
tedious journey was made Il very pleas
ant one by the association OF nearly
eighty congenIal spirits. for whose
comfort every possible provis-
ion had been made. There was
much gOod-natured chaff, but
very little serious political talk except
when the correspondents were inter-
viewed on the outcome OF the conven-
ton. This occurred at intervals all the
way from Washington TO Minneapolis.
The trip eliminated in monster hat
pool in which forty of the eXcurSiOnistS
celebrated their personal non-partisan-
ship by drawing names and blanks to
determine the convention result. Most
of the newspaper correspondents went
10 the New York Life Insurance build
ing, which has BEEN fitted up as tenn
porarY hotel for newspaper men. Others
went to the West hotel, where the
United Press has made its headquarters
in suite of rooms.

Both Sides Anxious for a Correct
Count of Noses.
To-day and Sunday the skirmiSh lines
will have been thrown out, and then
when the various state delegations have
taken their places OH the field and
thr own out their banners. the battle
will have begun in earnest. Both sides
are anxious for preliminary count of
noses. New has a list of trlf1e
over 500 delegates, all of whom be
claims as instructed and pledged for
Harrison. while he has supplementary
list of 40 or so more that, while unin-
structed, can in his Judgment be reck.
oned as part of the presidents forces
But Cha rksOn, who has a little list of
his own in all inside pocket, puts the
Harris on strength as 29S to man. In
this he is less liberal than j. Sloat Fas-
sett, who has counted up an even 800 as
the outside strength of the Harrison
managers on the first ballot. AS to
Blaine's strength, they are wary OF
making predictions.

Senator Quay was seen last evening
and said that he could not decide on the
outcome of the convention, as he had
uSt arrived on the ground. and there
were few delegates here. For myself"
said he, II am for Blaine"
"What will your delegation do?"
pennsylvania is strong Blaine
state, and the delegation will be strong
ly for Blaine. but exactly how strong
numerically cannot say. as the delega-
ton has never had meeting yet"
The press dispatch from Washington
stating that Secretary Blaine had in
formed a representative of the ASsOci-
ated Press that he would write no more
letters and make no further announce
ments. prior to the convention, was re-
ceived with rejoicings by the Blaine
men this evening, and they declare
now that nothing can prevent his nOmi-
nation. Indeed, the general effect of
this announcement of the secretary of
state has been to add enthusiasm to the
Blaine movement and inspire the BOOM
erS with increased confidence.
