PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES. ‘Three of the possible presidential candidates— Senators Sherman, Allison, and Hawley—consti- Vuted fully one-third of the republican Senators Present; but they did not remain long in any one place, uioving around in and out of the chamber, as if their thoughts were otherwhere. ‘There Were about a score of democratic Senators in their Seats, Dut even they did not seem to have any in- terest in legislative matters.

Every time a celebration was proposed an appeal was made to Con; Yorktown was an instance of the kind which would go down as one Of the most disgraceful orgies ever Mr. Timothy aa (N. Y.), declared that this Was ‘not @ local affair, and the conduct of the other side in objecting was disgracetul. Mr. Browne (Ind.) replied that while he was Well disposed toward the Getéysburg celebration, yet it Was not a matter for the action of the Gen- eral government.

Special Dispatch to Tue EvEnmxa Stax. CHICAGO, June 18—There could be no more un- certain and no more interesting political situa- ton than that in Chicago to-day. The delegates are all on the ground, and the friends of the vari- ous candidates are plotting and planning, but they are all in the dark. No combinations of any importance have been made in the interest of any candidate, and it cannot be said of any man that he has a reasonable certainty of success. A great majority of the delegates are still unpledged, and do not Know what they willdo, None want to act hastily and attach themselves to the wrong can- didate, The result of this is to most completely Defog the situation, BLAINE TALK NOT SO STRONG. ‘Twenty-four hours ago the talk of Blaine was 50 active that one entering the crowded corridors of the Grand Pacific, where all the candidates’ head- quarters are, would become impressed with the idea that no other had any chance of nomination. ‘This has died out toa considerable extent, and moving about on the “ground floor” it 1s founa Unat what is still heard is largely idle enthusiasm, Promoted by the uncertainty of the situation.

Away down at the botton where the old fish are found two or three men are being watched with great earnestness, and those who are belng most taiked about on the Surface are not expected to prove most formidable. At the Grand Pacitic, the headquarters of Sherman, Harriso Depew, Alger, Gresham, and Allison, are crowd with deiegates all day and nearly all’night. Every sort of argument, and all forms of persuasion are being used by the working friends of the candi- dates.
