Political CaIdrOn.
BLAINE PLANS ARRANGED.
Will Filibuster at First and Then Sc
cure Nomin alton With a Rush.

NEW York May s7.-The runiored con-
ference which was given out To be held mt
the Fifth Avenue Hotel by the advocates
OF Blaines nomination has been a0an-
doned, SO far as q formal conference Is
concerned. A suspicious quietness pre-
vailed among the political leaders last
night, and any appearance of large
gathering was sedulously avoided. It Is
nevertheless understood that the plan by
81 81 which 10 is hoped TO capture the nomina-
tion has already been decided upon.
No effort will be made to force Mr..
Blaine's nomination on the first ballot 1t
has been considered inadvisable to do
that. Mr.. Blaine will decline to permit
his name to be used. The plan Is as fol-
lows: a \.
r A situation win be Created Word has
- been sent TO the faithful that only the
most pronounced supporters Of Mr. Blaine
among the Minneapolis delegates shall
cast for their favorite on the first ballot.
The balance of the uninstructed vote will
be thrown to favorite sons, and the fill
clustering will be kept up until it is
p definitely settled that a nomination is inn
possible. Then, when all hope of nomina-
ting Harrison or settling on any Of the
other candidates is abandoned, Blaine will
be called upon as the only person to break
y the deadlock, and he will be nominated
p with ahurrah. This Is the program as
mapped out, aud it will be followed out to
the letter IL the plans of the Blaine enthu.
siasts do not miscarry.
The Ames Interview"
The reputed interview Of Ex-Governor
Ames, Of which much has been made,
turns out TO have very slight basis for
anything authentic. The only conversa-
tion between the secretary and ex-governor
was in the hotel dining room when they
breakfasted together Mrs. Blaine was
present and only commonplace conversa-
ton was held.
Mr.. Blaine called yesterday ut the DAM
rosch residence, where he left Mrs. Blaine.
lie returned to the hotel at clock. At
1870 he paid a visit to his oculist. Then
he drove into the park, and at AIS went TO
get Mrs. Blaine. He spent the evening at
the hotel, receiving but few callers.
The sentiment at the hotel Is that the
secretary will be nominated, and further
more, that he will accept. The admin
istration folks believe that the president
will eventually be the winner 1t is now
probable that General Clarkson, exSenhS
tor Fassett, Chauncey l. Filley Sam Fes-
sender of Connecticut and other eastern
members Of the national committee will
hold the expected formal conference over
the situation. Most Of these gentlemen
have been through the country and have
had frequent talks with prominent Repub-
~ licans In Washington. It was expected
that thisawould be followed by grand
confab in New York before Mr.. Blaine
leaves town, but the program has been
changed. Many Of the western members
of the committee could not find IL cou-
venient to come to New York at just this
time. IL has, therefore, been decided to
have the conclave of those seeking can
didate other than the president at the
West House in Minneapolis on June 8, two
days before the convention
