Many rapid changes have occurred during the past forty-eight lgpurs, but Monday morning opens as | did Saturday, with all the possibilities and un- certainties of that hour. No one appears to have an honest doubt that Blaine can and could have been at any time since the second dy of the convention nominated by a ‘good majortty, Blaine Men in No Hurry. But that is not what the Blaine men want. Itis not clear how the Maine statesman could accept a nomination not practically unanimous until it 1s Tully demonstrated that no other candidate can possibly get the nomination. For this reasou the Blaine men have waited and are waiting. Strong Anti-Blaine Talk. The strongest anti-Blaine talk yet heard was that current yesterday. The mention of Mr. Blaine’s magnetic name appeared to galvanize the corpses of the other candidates, as an irrev- erent poiltician put it, and they all Jumped up to say Unat they were not dead yet. ‘The anti-Blaine fight then began with more 1a and with a better organization than to that time shown, The adjourn- Saturday afternoon was the result of ment ~ | a misunderstanding and was a blunder.

FORAKER INTRIGUING AGAINST MCKINLEY. To relieve Mr. Mekinly from further temptation, Gov. Foraker, while declaring that Sherman no longer nad a chance for tie nounination, began toset up pins against the “Little Napoleon,” and todraw off some of the Ohio votes for Blaine, with the hope, tt 1s asserted, of cettiug second on the Ucket hunselt. ‘To settle ai! this caine a positive declara Uou from Mr. Sherman that he was not Yet out of the Face; that he intended to continue the con- lest, and Boped to win.

It must be confessed that just before the as- sembling of the convention nothing is known for a certainty. It is stated on the authority of Mr. Phelps and other Blaine men that all the candidates except: ‘Sherman have expressed their willingness to step aside in favor of Mr. Blaine. Mr. Sherman will not agree that his greatest strength has been tested and before giving 1b ap ss Hopeless ie with prose ap. a8 Do e ably be given another chance: 3 The convention meets this morning with a blank uncertaluty as to whether to-day 1s to end it or Whether it is to run on for the rest of the week. ‘The best founded impression is that Blaine 13 to ‘be nominated, and it is hoped to do it to-day. ‘VIOLENT ANTI-BLAINE FEELING, ‘The most violent anti-Blaine men are declaring they will protest openly in convention against Biaine’s nomination, and they hope to make it im- possible for bim to by refusing to make the nomination unanimous if he geus a ma- jority.

A Report that He Positively iefuses to Accept = Nomination. Special Dispatch to Tax Evexixe Stan, Cutca Go, June 25.—Col. Hecker, the manager of the Alger boom, posted in the Michigan headquar- ters this morning what purported to be a copy of @ cablegram from Mr. Blaine, stating positively that he would not accept the nomination. The méss age is said to have been recevied by Elkins. ‘The genuineness of the dispatch 1s not yet assured, ‘The Sherman men are claiming that their man is sure of nomipation to-day.

Fred Douglass defended the delegates, say- ing that they hada right to change their minds Without being accused of selling their votes, Mast be Unanimously for Blaine. Mr. Manley is quoted as saying this morning that Blaine would accept only a unanimous nom!- nation, which at present seems impossible, and that he hopes there will beno more voting for —e THE BLAINE ATTITUDE, Blaine a Candidate as Soou as Four Other Candidates Declare for Him. Cutcaco, June 25.—Stephen B. Elkins was seen by an Associated Press reporter immediately after the adjournment of the Blaine caucus at 1:30 this morning. He said: “I want What I say to the Associated Press to goto the country as the unqualified sentiment of the leading friends of Mr. Bisine. There has been Much misunderstanding in the ‘matter both by the public and those who represent the public ip tuls convention. Mr. Bisine 1s not a candidate before tuis convention unless by and with the consent of at least four of the leading candidates now before it. He will ni in. " ton under’ any circuin ‘and ‘bis triengs trust that his friends in tue convention wiil re- fran from voting fer iim until other man ‘has had an opportunity for the nomination. A8 I ‘Said, we want at least four of the presidential caD- didstes to relinquish their hold upon whatever Claims they urlst have upon the convention, and make Mr. their te, AS NEARLY UNANIMOUS AS POSSIBLE. His Maine friends, led by Congressman Boutelle ‘and Mr. Manley, will insist on this, and they are Supported by every clear-headed honest friend of Mr. Blaine. Of course there are a few hot-heads here, as there are most anywhere, and they are at- tempting to force things; Uut such a move will be recated by those who understand Mr. Blaine’s Telation to this conveation in view of his letters, The chief reason for the Caucus lust night was to obviate any -hing contemplated which might icok as if his name was being forced upon the conven Uon. At tus meeting the Maine deiegates I have mentioned fought for some length of time, 10 COMBAT ANY RASH OR FOOLISH ACTION on the part of hasty friends, and then I wascalled in, together with several other gentlemen, who are not delegates and therefore had no right to a place im thecaucus. Ican now say to you that there Will be no stampeding. ‘The other candidates must have their day in the convention and then if there 18 no nomination and Lue representatives of at least four candidates conclude that Mr. Biaine is the only’ solution to the dilemma tuey can nominate niin and I Lave no doubt he will accept. But we must hove it practically Unanimous of we won't listen toit. AU any rate ‘We are intent Ou holding down those whose Diiud Ndelity to Mr. Biaine would make it appear that he Wished to obtain the nomination by nizing the other candidates, ria TRY ANE ALL BIS PRIEXDS and he wouldn’t think fora moment of destroy- ing the interest of a single one of them. We do not want a nomination for Mr. Blaine unless we get it as I have indicated, and noone wili labor harder to prevent any thoughtless or hasty action than 1 Will or his Iriends in the Maine delegation. ‘Tals 13 why they of bis own state have peremptorily re- fused to cast a singie vote for him unless the con- ditions exist Whicu Ihave pointed out.

The Situation at Chicago Last Night. The republican convention af Chicago reas- sembled shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday after- hoon, but immediately adjourned again to 11 o'clock Monday morning without taking a ballot, The precise reason for this action 1s not clear, It 18 said that the Blaine men had prepared a plan to nominate Blaine on the first or second ballot on Saturday. Alabama was to lead the way, and be followed by aall the Blaine states in succestion, New York joln- ing with fity votes, and the Blaine men in Penn- sylvania leaving Ue leadership of Quay and re- turning to their first love. Even ObIo, led by Gov. Feraker, who wants the second place on the ticket, Was to contribute twenty or twenty-five votes to the grand old column, All this fs known, Dut It 18 hot known why the scheme was abandoned. A Chi- cago man, Who has been empowered to speak for Mr, Blain, and who 1s a man of good Judgment and not @ politician, was called Into ‘a confer- ence of Blaine leaders just before the meeting ot the convention, He was informed of the plan in hand, and was shown a list of 423 sure and reli- able "Blaine delegates, or an assured majority of the whole convention. ‘This man looked over the Uist, saw that it comprised the names of delegates ‘who are ostensibly for other candidates, and at ‘once gave his dictum as follows: ‘This thing must Come to a stop,” sald he, “Mr, Blaine cannot take this nomination by riding over the rights of any of the men now in the field. He regards them ull es his friends, and knows they have enterea this contest ja good faith, believing him to be out by bis own act. ‘You propose to draw delegates from the support- ers of these men to undermine them and deieat them. “It you nominate him in this way a cable- rain will be received from hiim in twenty minutes jeclining the nomination, and you will then be in ‘8 Worse predicament than ever, ‘This thing must be stopped.” “Heluctantly Eikins and iis col- leagues consented to postpone the ialne. coup, and the friends of all ths candidates except Har- Tison joined (he Blaine men in forcing an adjoura~ ment Uil Mondzy morning. ‘THE CONPRRENCE COMMITTRR. ‘The conference committee which was appointed Friday by the interests hostile to Harrison met Saturday, but found themselves practically with- out business, as Harrison was already out of the Tace, However, after various speakers had ad- dressed the meeting upon the impossibility of nominating any man but Blaine, they appointed @ committee to take the situation into con- sideration and to present to the confer- ence committee a ticket which, if the members Saw ft, they could report back’ to their delega- ‘tons with the recommendation that they support 4t, A committee of ten was appointed, represent ing ‘the different factions, consisting’ of Colonel Davis and senator Farwell in behali of MM. H. De Young for the Blaine movement, Hubbel and Clarkson tor Allison, tbe Hon. Mr, Duield for Alger, Governor Foster and the Hop. Ben- Jamin Butterworth for Sherman, The con- Jerence then adjourned until 2:30 and tne cotnmittee immediately went into session, notify. ing Senators Hoar and Quay to be present. Sevator Quay did not immediately put im an appearance, ‘Tue frst action taken Was by Senator Farwel Who, after complimenting Judge Gresham, sai that for the sake of harmony he would withdraw his name, Gov. Foster then addressed the meeting in behalt of John Sherman as the abiest man that the com- mnittee could report tn favor of. At the conclusion Of Gov. Fuster’s remarks Mr. Duffield addressed the committee in favor of Gen. Alger. Congress- man Clarkson was then called upon, and he very Strongly urged the clalins of Senator Allison. M. H. De Young being called on stated to the cominittee that he thought they were not there to listen to the praises of the different candidates, but to decide Upon the man that Was most avail dle, ana who could carry the country tor the part; that the better plan Would be to examiue inv the merits and demerits of the different candi dates. Mr. De Young stated to the committee the objections ‘urged by the representatives from the Pacific coast 10 two or three of the candidates, set Ling forth their weaknesses, and conciuded by saying there was no necessity of setting forth the claluns aud availability of Mr. Blaine, ws every bouy ‘Was too Well acquainted With him to require that, At this moment Senator Quay came Ito the room. He stated to the committer that New York had decided to support Blaine, and he could not see how the nomination of Blaine could possibiy be avoided. He feit that the majority of the convention would be tu favor of it. The chair- man, Senator Farwell, Stated that 1n any.event it was the duty of the committee to recommend the name of some candidate for the conference to sup- Port as a bods. and the name of Congressman Me- Inley, of Olio, was proposed. ‘The Committee Was polled as to some of the can. didates and by a large majority decided that Suer- man Was out of the fight; tuat Blaine being a stollity with the convention it was the ducy of the committee to endeavor to select somebody outside Of Mr. B.aine, and that he ought not to be con- sidered by this committee. The result of this was protracted discussion. An attempt was made to catechise the representatives present as to their secone chotce. Mr. DuMleid, the manager of the Alger forces, was asked who his delegation would support in the event tht Gen. Alger Was oUt of he Way, towhich he replied, Blaine, : ‘The same question was put ‘to Mr. De Young, who stated that is position was different trout that of any gentieman present, bis delegation sup- porting a candidate who, in his opinion, would be hominated, ‘Therefore it was ridiculdus to ask huin to name a second choice, especlaily in view of the fact that the candidates represented by the other members of the committee were all practi. cally out of the race. ‘AU this stage of the proceedings Senator Hoar addressed the meeting, and said that Blaine was very dear to the peopl of Massachusetts; that they thought very tighly of him, and that be could undoubtedly carry his state. He thought Congressman McKinley could also carry iif be wus placed ai the head of the ticket. ‘The Ohio elegation, Gov. Foster aud Gen Buiterworth, re- fused to ‘consider Sherman out of the fight notwithstanding the cumumittee had so de- elded. Repeated baliots were ‘taken. On the ‘first, ballot in the committee "no one candidate received over three votes. After Fepeated balloting MeKiniey recelved seven votes. The chahman, Mr. Farwell, vurned to Mr. De Young and asked hiin if he would recommend his delegation to support Mr. McKinley, and he re- piled that he would not, that his delegation had declared for aman Whd now held tue majoriiy vote In the convention and it wouid simpiy be ridiculous to ask them when they had won their fight to refuse at that moment to vote for him. ‘There was a great deal of discussion, and ¢o1 that favored Mr. McKinley now objected to re- porting im to the conierence, Mr. Dullield said that If they reported a man It ough: vo be one strong enough to beat Mr. Blaine, which Nr, McKinley could not do. Another delegate stated tuat Mr-/ McKinley had this morning practically placed himself 1a the same position as Biatne, when he got up on @ chair In the convention aud stated that ue Was not a candidate for the presidency, After some more discussion, it was Nally decided io report two names to the conterence, aud the secoud name chosen Was Allison. The committee then adjourned to report to the conference, When the conference had to some extent dis- cussed the situation, a motion was made that they adjourn the convention linmediately on mect- ing In the afternoon untii Monday morning, to give tme for thorough discussion of the situation, dnd it Was agreed Caateach delegate in the con- Terence be requested to urge their delegation to Vote for an adjournment of wwe convention. It was so ordered, ‘THE DEADLOCK CONTINUES. Yesterday's developments seem not to have simpittied the situation to any appreciable extent. It was thought probable in some quarters that a communication would to-day be received from Mr. Blaine requesting that no votes be cast for him. ‘There 1s a deep feeling on ail sides that tne ‘“laine-of-bust” prograui 1s uot sanctioned by Mr, Blaine himself. The plan of the opposition, tere fore, 1s siuply to stand firin and watt tor Mr. Blaine himself to speak, or for his assured representatives to torce the issue, FORAKER DESERTS SHERMAN FOR BLAINE. Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, 1s quoted as having sald on Saturday: “Senator Sherman is no longer a presidential possibility so far as this convention 1s concerned, Ihave done my full duty by him in his candidacy. Ihave been Just as faithful, if not more $0, and equally as conscientious as ‘many members of the delegation to further his and out of the question, and my support ceases trom now on. There is almost: 50 cent of my when the c.n- ee who are for Biaine, vention meets Monday morning I shall vote ‘those delegates for Mr. Blaine’s nomination, I in- sist that it is the Dest af good ‘take care of our state when it bécoines ap; that our candidate cannot be nominated, free lance from now on and I shail take care of ‘Obio’s interest now as I have always done in the ast” Foraker cleo sald that he did not know whether the rest legation would adhere to Sherman or not. JOHN XM. LANGSTON'S PREDICTION. John M. Langston, Virginia, the ex-minister to ‘Hayti, 1s quoted as having said in Chicago Wed- nesday that the nomination of Blaine now would ruin the party, and that the candidate must either ‘dg Sherman or a man naned Uy 2 Said he: “John sherman balance among. the candidates in the eld We afe go. ing to hold iast to our faith tn ‘Sherman aud see What developments to-morrow ‘The Sherman forces hold the key to the ‘and when the time comes ‘will dictate the Dominee.. it Wil finally be eftuer between laine and Sherman, ora Blaine man and a_ntan named by Sherman. 1 was for Blaine at Cincianats tn ” continued Langston, warily, “and won ser the bishops of the colired church oF Lim. Rotwitustanding bis record on the yorve BH. “But Blaine cannot be nominated now without dis Spr fbn aan ‘wreck for the republican party.” r AM IMPORTANT BLAINE CONFERENCE, A Chicago special to the Philadelphia Press Sat- urday night says: “There had been one or two. conferences of Blaine’s friends during the earlier Part of the day and between the sessions, Among those. participating were Walker and Emmons Blaine, the sons of the great republican leader, Who had been Invited to participate in the discus: sion of the situation. ‘They were very emphatic in the opinion that no effort should be made in the direction of nominating Mr. Blaine until everything possible had been done in behalf of other candidat that while there were vtuer candidates in the fel | WIth anything like strength at thelr backs Mr. Blaine’s nomination suouid not even be thought of. ‘This was in exact accordance with the views which had been held by Blaine’s friends from the first, and it is pretty certain to guide their course Of action to the lasi. It was for this reason that Blaine’s friends favored the adjournment. All the ‘opportunities of the candidates did not seem to be exhausted, and if the balloting had gone on at the afternoon session it 1s quite certain that these dispatches Would to-night have recorded Blaine’s nomination.” + A MAINE VIEW OF THE SITUATION. ‘This dispatch from Chicago was sent Saturday night from F. L. Dingley, the editor of the Lewis- ton Journal: “AN the boomers are at sea, Sherman and Gresham are rapidly dissolving. So far in the contests the efforts on behalf of McKinley are feebie. ‘The chances for a conclusion on Monday are small, but the Blaine rush 1s pressing to-night, though the leading Blaine workers oppose thé idea," Caucusses are now nursing the sick favor- ite. "When the break comes nelther Sherman nor Gresham nor Harrison can hold their forts. Noth- ing but the unlooked for can prevent Blaine’s nomination.” SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION LAST NIGHT. The Baltimore American thus summarizes the situation last night: “The conferences Saturday and the combinations then formed indicated that ‘the problem would be easily solved to-day by the nomination of elther McKinley or Blaine. Sunday's conferences, however, changed the outiook. ‘The conference of managers of ‘all the candidates ex- cepting Harrison, on Saturday, to settle upon one or two names to be presented fo the convention to- Gay, failed to accomplish the result sought. ‘They thotght well of Allison and McKinley. ‘The under- Standing Was that Sherman and Gresham would withdraw; but these gentlemen refused to yield, notwithstanding the fact that Gov. Foraker d clares that Sherman hasno show and that 50 per cent of the Onio delegation 1s for Blaine, Stephen B. Eiking and others, who are trying to force Biaine’s nomination by delaying the convention, are bitterly criticized by other friends of Mr. Blaine, who claim that he will not accept a nom- ination gained in such a manner. 'The McKinley ark-horse movement is now also looked upon by many suspicious persons asa part of the Blaine prograta Most of the delegates who have thus far Voled for McKinley are’ out-and-out Blaine men. ‘This fact 1s regarded as showing an at- tempt on the part of the Blaine managers to use the dark-horse to beat. all the others, and then to bring Blaine in to beat him.
