Cuicaco, May 29.— The first large ar- rival of politicians and delegates to the republican convention was chronicled this morning. They came in in such numoers as to settle the question of the various leaders to be on the ground at the earliezt possible moment. The first man to reach here this morning was James D, Warner, chuirman of the state republi- can committee «f New York, and one of President Arthur's staunchest and most influential advocates in New Yok Frank Hatton followed «losely upon him, solidifyiug the Acthur advance guard. BLAINE'S BOOMERS Before Mr. Wuruer and Mr. Hatton with their frieuds had been well seated at the Grand Pacitic, Chas. Emery Smith brought up the end line of the Blaine boom, which brought Stephen B. Elkins here on yesterday. Smith was accom- panied by ex-district attorney Corkhill, VIKGINIA'S DOUBLE. W. H. Ploasants, a bright looking col- ored man, who is the forerunner of the Mahone delegation from Virginia, is around trying to impress upon every- body that Mahone and his delegation should be admitted and that Dezendorf should be left out in the cold, The probability is that the national committee will recommend that both delegations be admitted to the convention with half a vote each. Auyway that seems to bs the sentiment of the members of the national commictee who are now here. Of course tho convention will have to ratify the action of the committee or unseat one of the delegations. JAMES D, WARNER, of Buffilo, New York, chairman of the Republican state committee, was first in list of to-day’s arrivals, He reached here at 8 o'clock, and was accompanied by Titus Sheard, a delegate from the Twen- ty fourth New York district; ex-Con- gressman James S. Smart, Chas, A Gould, A. G. Warren, of the Buffalo Commercial, and Isaac Bromley. *‘What news do you bring from New York” the chairman was asked. He smiled genial- ly and replied with great cheerfulness: “I regard Arthur’s chances as better now as they cver were before.” “How many votes will he have from New York t tef” “He will havethirty-six or thirty-seven votes on the first ballot and HE WILL BE NOMINATED if nominated at all, by the third ballot.” s there any doubt about his nomina- tion?” **It would be sheer foolishness,” Mr. Warner replied, “‘to say that he is abso- lutely certain of a nomination. There is an indefiniteness about every man's chances which only the balloting will settle, Now there is mno doubt of Arthur’s overwhelming popularity. The very best and foremost business men of Now York attested their faith in his honesty, stability, and eminent qualifica- tion for the oftics of president by their monster mass meeting in New York. Men of their standing would not put themaelves om record without first weigh- ing the couscquences likely to occur rom the announcement of their prefer- ence. Since the voice of the peoplo is supposed to be omuipotent in the policy of the country, and since the voice of the people is UNMISTAKADLY FOR ARTHUR, the republican convention would be un doubtedly gratifying to the public senti- ment if it nominated him. Possibly the politicians may succeed in defeating this plainly expressed wish, but we are here to see it executed if possible and we will do 8o if we can.” Mr. O. G. Warren, who was in the room; called attention to the fact that Chairman Warren was one of the 306 in the convention of 1880. This provoked a question directed to Chairman Warren, whether he and the other Arthur men woula stick to their favorite as the Grant men did to the ex president. We are here to stay,” said Warren, with & sigoificant look, *and we will see that there are no backsliders. CARRYING NEW YORK. As regard Arthur's alloged inability to carry New York, Warren was askea, What of that: Placing his hand impressively on the reporter's knee, Mr. Worren said, ‘I can tell you this, Arthut was nominated for vice president with ease; we carried New York with almost as much ease as we nominsted Arthur; it was only be- cause Arthur was the second name on the ticket. | believe as earnestly as 1 believe anytning that with any other nominee for vice president New York would hava GONE TO THE DEMOCRATS. 1f tho republicans can carry New York city and Kings county they have practi- cally th ey to success in the state. 1 saw & man before 1 left Buffalo who is pronounced for Blaine, and he acknowl- edged that if there was any question about New York Arthur could certainly carry New York city and Kinga county with ense. Mr. Warner said that the New York delegates wouldbegin to come in to-morrow. A BLAINE AND LOGAN COMBINATION, It is reported that a combination has been formed between certain Blaine and Logan people, by which a number of the latter have agreed with a like number of the former that they will support Blaine on the first three ballots, on condition that an equal number of Blaine people shall go with them to Logan at the end of that time if Blaine is not nominated, The Logan men believe that by this plan they can form the nucleus of a stampede to Logan. SHERMAN hes written personal letters to all those who supported him at Chicago in 1880, asking them to be ready to fly to his sup- port again when the opportune moment arrives, » GOVERNOR SCHUYLER CROSBY, of Montana, arrived this morning and is guest of Hon. E. A. Storrs, who will also entertain Jesse Soligman, Chauncey M Depew, and other prominent New Yorkers Governor Crosby comes as an enthusiastic Arthur mansocially, political- ly and every other way, having known the president for 20 years. Ho speaks with confidence of his winning merits, and eulogizes his administration for the virtues which even the enemies of the president are forced to concede. Gov- wrnor Crosby doesn’t see the logic of eu- dorsing the president in the republican state conventions of the United States only to bedisregarded by the national re- publican convention and he doesn’t be- lieve he will be. WILLIAM PLEASANT, of the Mahone Virginia delegation, says the Dezendorf or so-called *‘straight-out” delegation, which is contesting, does not represent 500 people of Virginia; that one of its leaders was a well-known Dem- ocrat, and that the Mahone delegation would go into the convention snlid or not at all, This declaration waa called out by the idea of Senator Clayton, that the committee or credentials would probably recommend the admission of both dele- gations, allowing half-a-vote to each. It seems evident that THE BLAINE AND LOGAN MEN will argue with the southern delegates that they ought to listen to the talk of the Blaine men ot the republican states and not assert their own choice, because the southern republican will give no electoral votes; but the southern man seem capablo of remembering the force bill in the reason why there are no re- publican electoral votes from the south, and that the passage of that bill is due to the fact that Blaine, when speaker of the house, left his chair to assist the democrats in the passage of the bill. GEORGE CORKHILL, of Washington, who caused the hanging of Guiteau, got in to-day. Hesays he 18 for Blaine first, but is really here for the purpose of feeling the way for his father- -law Judge Miller of Iowa. The backers of Blaine and of Logan thus far have been doing all the talking, while the Arthur men have been doing a great desl (f work quietly. One of the Blaine boomers expressed surprise at the feeling for Arthur among the Illinois delegates, and finally admitted that when Logan had been complimented, many of them would go to the president. GATHERING OF THE CLANS, CH10AGO, May 20, —There was a great- er ioflux of delcgates and gentlemen prominent in the republican party coun: cils this morning than on any provious day, and the hotel lobbies are beginning to assume an sir of great activity. N solid state delegations have yet arrived and none are expeeted before to- WOrrow. DELEGATES are mainly from the south; a fow New York aud Pennsylvaia delegates have come in advance of the maia body, among whom muy bo mentioned Jus D. War- ren, chairman of the New York atate cen- BEE. tral oymmittos, and Speaker Sheard of New York, both of whom are delegates. Agsistant Postmaster Hatton, Col. George B. Corkhillof Washingon, and Chas. Emo- Smith, of the Philadelphia Press, are also here, THE SUB COMMITTEE of the national committee is holdir g cor+ tinuous sessions arranging for soating dele- gates and other convention details, to be able to report to the full committee next Saturday. No headquarters in the inter- est of any candidates have yet been open- od,with the exception of Gen, Logan’s;but the Arthur and Blaine headqunrters will be in readiness to morrow morning. CAMERON NEUTRAL, Purtaverrnia, May 20 —The Bullet- in’s Washington special states that Cam- eron refuses to influence the delegation to Chicago, He says he will support the nominee of the convention to the utmost of his power, no matter who is nominat- ed, BACKERS, ELOND DAY, Ind, May 20.—The groonback convention reas 100'clock, General Weaver THE GUE ™ INDIANATOLIS, National sembled at The committee on resolutions was not yet ready to report, and the on- tire forenoon session was taken up in brief addresses by members of tho con- vention. The platform commifteo sent word to the presiding offirers that they would presiding. not bo ready to report before half past two or thrae o'clock and at a quarter before twelve the convention adjourned until 2 o’clock. It is understoou the committees ARE AT LIGGBRHEADS over the plank on tho tariff and a good deal of debate is expect ed in the convention. To prevent much time being consumed epoeches have been limited to five minutes, no delegate to speak twice until all have spoken. The committee has been apponted to wait on Geo. W. Julianand invite him to address the convention. There is some talk of A BOLT over Butler's nomination, but it is not likely to amount to much., Crandall says he don’t like Butler. but if the con- vention can affurd to commit the party to such a blunder, he can and he will stand by the same. PASSING TIME. The convention re-aesembled pursuant to adjournment. The committee on reso- lutions not being ready to report, the in- tervening time was occupied in the adop- tion of motions of thanks, including one to W. H. Enghsh, for the free use of his opera house, etc ~ A resolution of sym- pathy with the union printers and _or- wanized labor in the fight against The New York Tribune was read and re- fered. THREE PLATFORMS, It was after 3 o'clock when Chairman Weaver announced that the committee on resolutions were ready. There were three reports. The minority reports made by Jones of New York and Blanch- ard of Michigan, were read. The first was attentively listened to, occasionally interrupted by applause. = Blanchard’s report met with anenthusiastic reception, its author receiving many congratulations on his stand in favor of TEMPERANCE AND WOMEN SUFFRAGE. Jones's report differed from the ma- jority report in demanding that while congress shall issue full legal tender notes, they shall by used in the payment of gov- ernment debus, constructing public im- provemeuts to reduce the transportation sharges, completing public buildings, the builaing of & navy snd for such other purposes, As congress is now asked to appropriate money until the surplus la- bor of the country is employed, & profit- uble home market for the produce of American farms and workshops created, and business done on a cash basis. Jones did not insist on his views and there was no split on the platform. THE MAJORITY REPORT was read by Norton, chairman of the committee. 1t contained a lengthy pri- amble, setting forth the objects of the greenback party and what it has accom- plished, saying Congress had repealed over $12,000,000 annual taxes for banks, throwing this burden upon the people to pay interest thereon.
