There have been no disatfections. It is all a GAME OF BLUFF. The colored men come here and play fast and loose, but they will take pains to do as they are told by the home people.” Col. “Bob” Harlan, a colored man, who for years carried tho colored vote of Cincinnati in his breaches pocket, sauntered in about seven o’clock. ‘*Arthur is the coming man,” said he, ‘“‘and I know it.

You will find that Blaine's lieuténants have been working up his boom by claiming everything in advance, The scheme won't work, I know of one vote in Ohio, two votes in Kentucky, and several votes in other states that Blaine is counting on in vain. *Is there any donbt about Arthur's be- ing able to CARRY OHIO?', “The question is almost too absurd to admit ot an answer. Of course he can and by a big majority.” The greater part of this morning was taken up by delegates in denying state- ments credited to them by the Blaine organs. Wherever possible these papers have perverted opinions expressed by delegates, in order to reflect on Arthur oradvance Blaine. John I. Gilbert, one of the delegates at large, who has been credited with being violently opposed to President Arthur, and was reported to have said Arthur could not CARRY NEW YORK, | h said : “I never said that Arthur could I clared, on the eve of the assembling of [ carry New York, and I wish you i the convention, that he has would make denial for me.

Gilbert and Andrew D. White will yote for Arthur when _they find Ed- munds has no chance ANDREW D, WHITE arrived this morning at the Pacific, fol- lowed by a coterie of friends, who are in- dustriously advocating the president of Cornell for either a dark horse or the vice-presidency. Foremost among these is Wm. L. Bostwick, a close friend of Mr. White. He succeeded in creating quite a ripple of talk for Andrew D. ‘White, who, he claimed, could most cer- tainly carry New York without any trouble. He said White was absent from New York state during the sena- torial squabble, and was hence not con- cerned in tne fight. He lauded his record, including his services as minister delegate at large of the Mahone delega- tion from Virginia, arrived to pave the way for thecoming of a full delogation, and one or two of the Dezendorf contesting delegation also put in an appearance. The Kansas delegation will arrive Sunday at noon and it is expected that it will be the last of the full delegations to arrive on the scene. THE HEADQUARTERS of the candidates wero regularly opened for business today, and consultations were continually in progress between the leaders of the movement in behalf of erch, whilo trusty licutenants were out making theacquaintance of the straggling advance guards of the various state delo- gations as they arrived, In this way the various leaders were enabled to secure information at the earliest moment of the condition of affairs in a large proportion of the states, and to revise estimates of the strength of the respective candid; This involved almost continuous private consultations in inner rooms. The chief centre of interest during the day was the Grand Pacitic hotel, in which are headquarters for Arthur, Blaine and Logan. The carpots of the hallways and parlors have been covered with canvass to save them from the wear and tear and litter of the oncoming hosts which will fill them to-morrow and part of next week. Themain headquarters for Arthur are in the gentlemen’s parlor, on the Jackson street front. Across the folding doors at. the entrance is a large strip of canvass lettered in black with the words: “FOR PRESIDENT, CHESTER A, ARTHUR.” There is no blazonment inside, but to- morrow its tables will be laden with pamphlets containing complete report of the recent Arthur business men's mest- ing in New York.

Cuicaco, May 30,—The Nebraska del- egation havedecided to pass Saturday in St. Louis and will arrive in Chicago Sun- day morning. ANOTHER SUMMARY. (ieneral Press Dispatches, Cuicaco, May 30,—To-day has been the first to be tempered with any excite- ment in view of the near approach of the National republican convention. The morning train brought in a sprinkling of delogates, but among them were a number recognized as leadurs in promoting the cause of those most prominently men- tioned for the head of the national ticket, and these were supplemented by a great many other promiuentin the party. Coun- cils’ headquarters were thrown open at the leading hotels for the Arthur, Blaine and Logan forces, and prepapations were making on every hand in advance of the arrival of a number of SOLID STAT& DELEGATIONS which expected to be here early to-mor- row. It was estimated to-night that about 140 delegates had arrived, or about one-sixth of the full complement of the convention. By to-morrow night or Sunday morning at the latest, two-thirds of the delegates are expected to be on the ground, so that the activity which is to ocour anterior to the assembling of the convention proper will be at its heighth Sunday. THE CALIFORNIA DELEGATION willbe first to arrive in a body, and its arrival early to-merrow has been so wide- ly hearalded that it is confidently ex- pected to impart fire to the canvas from the outset, owing to the pronounced character of their preferences for the Maine statesman, The California dele- gation is accompanied by that from Ne- vada, and the two are in unitin all their movements, A portion of THE I0WA DELEGATION arrived during the day, and the remain- der will be here to morrow, and a meet- ing for orgamzation and map out their future line of action is called for to-mor- row afternoon. Two delegates from Washington terrtory arrived to-day, and also the Oregon delegates, with two ex- ceptions, The advance guard of the Sherman men, in the persons of Judge Foraker, delegate at large from Ohio, and Luke A. Staley, alternate from the first district, reported this afternoon. GALUSHA A, GROW, who has been mentioned for the chair- manship of the convention, arrived from Pennsylvania, The New York contin- gent was supplemented during the day by the arrival of Andrew D. White, B Platt Carpenter, Silas B. Dutcher, John I. Gilbert, among the delegates, and Thus far no neadquarters have been opened for Edmunds, Sherman , or Haw- lew. VICE-PRESIDENT. In discussion and doubt over the ques- tion of first place, the vice-presidency has dropped out of sight, for the reason that the traditions of the party make the latter depend on the former as a more matter of political geography. A new candidate for that position was,however, developed to-day, in the person of Hon. Andrew D. White, president of Cornell College, who was spoken of for the place, in case the fortunes of politics should make a western man the candidate for prosident. THE SUB-COMMITTEE of the National committee comploted its preliiamary labors this evening, to bo re- ported to the full committen, which will assemble at noon to morrow, at which it is now knowa the following members will be present, including those who are ex- pected to arrive to-night: John C.

Said he: “Ido not come here to vote for Blaine first, last and all the time by any means. Ido no: think that the intention would be in consonance with the character of the convention, which is a deliberative body. If it is & deliberative body wa cannot come here with our minds made up.” VAL ARRIVES, Among the delegates who arrived thls morning is Valentine, of Nebraska.

It is not anticipated that any of these contests will prove a very heavy tax up- on the committee, and it is expected speedy action will be tiken upon them. The case of the state of Virginia is one, however, of more serious moment, and which it is expected may occupy & fair share of the attention of the convention and provoke considerable disoussion be- fore the end, THE BUSINw«SS BACKING, IT8 EVIDENCES IN CHICAGO, Ciicago, May 30.—Elaborate head- quarters, under the auspices of leading business men of the city, in advocacy of the candidacy of President Arthur, were opened at the Palmer House to-day, and at the meeting to day a committee was appointed, with power to add to their uumber, to receive the New York busi- | ness men's delegation, which will arrive tingency.
