EIGHTEENTH YE OMAHA. MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1888, THE FIELD AGAINST BLAINE, Coquoetting With Sherman to Defoat the Plumed Knight. REVIVAL OF SHERMAN'S BOOM, A Declination From Blaine By Cable Reported and Dented—Several Boomlets Have Taken a Fresh Hold, ANl Uncertainty at Chicago. Cit1caGo, June 24.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bre |—Deafened cars and strained norves haveto-day received a welcome rest, 'he city scems caim and quiet after the turmoil and uproar of the past woek. No discordant bands clash and bray in the streets; no processions or howling mobs, gay with ribbons and bright with transpar- encies, parade through the hotel corridors, shirieking their favorites names. 1f there is not a holy peace brooding over Chicago there isat leastan approach to quict, which by compurison secms A GIAVEYARD CALM. A hundred and fifty thousand visitors, with aching heads and empty pockets, have reached their homes and are wondering wh it has all been avout, and whore in_creation their money has gone. Eight hundred and thirty worn out delegates are still here, most of them dlisgusted with the protracted convention, and many anticipating with hor- ror the presentation of their hotel bills when th reat body finally adjourns. But Chi cago is so large a city that the few thou- sands of strangers that remain over Sunday malke no visible impression on her entertain- ing capacity, It was political itself, and delegates in their mouths emerged in any considerable numbers from the breakfast rooms. The one question asked was: “How shall Blaine's nomination be prevented?” and echo, trom a score of delegation headquarters an- swered, “How(" Allison's friends had rc newed hope until it was announced that De. pew would have no granger state candidate. Gresham's friends reported aceessions from Pennsylvania, which tempormily checred them.

The Blaine leaders professed themsclves willing to give any other candi. date every possible chance to test his strength, as they did with Sherman and Harrison and were ready to do with Allison last night; but they sunlingly asserted that they feared the only effect would be to here was unduly protract the session. no doubt that MR BLAINT TAD IEEN CABLED by the friends of other candidates the gordian kuot of the con- vention tangle, and as little doubt that t traveler Scotland had declin to be caught in amouse trap by a reply.

Mr. William Waltor Phelps was mdignant, He said: “This entire Blaine hurrah is an outrs and a s 1 tell you My 1) ction on Jumes G ine will not aceept if nomi nated. I kuow whereot I speak. But he will uot be nominated. s true friends will 800 10 it thut his honor is not impusned by men who don't’ kuow his izflexible decision, New Jersey will not vote for him and New Jor is o dyed-inghe-wool Blaine stato Lot the hureali go on.” It cannot win, Weo shall nominate a good clean repuslican from the west Mr. Blaine will assist with strength in the canvas, but not as the p deutial nominee.” Mvr. Phelps was asked why he did not tele- graph Mr. Blaine the situation, Because it would do no good,” he replied, “Mr. Blaine would answer declimng under any contingency to aceept, but his decling tion wou'd not be accepted by men who huve already refusod to believe two square open und above board refusals.” I asked another very near and strong friend of Mr. Blaine to-uight howmany votes the Blainiacs could muster, “Perhaps three hundred,” he answered, “but not enough to nominate him, and if tive hundred answered the eall it wonld make no difference. Emmons Ilaine told me this morning that the attempt to force his futher's Dowination was an ivsult and a shameful refiection upon kis honor. So think his father's personal friends and 1 among them. The stampede of last night-came nour carry ing off many scnsible men, but to-day brings calmer counscls," ’ ““How about Depew's announcenent that no grapger stute candidate will be gecept- able to New York 1 1 asked, ‘“Yhere is not a word of truth in ator Hiscock informs me that it is o 1 his it. Sen lie oyt of the whole cloth. Mr. Blaine's fricuds are very friendly to Allison, and if California can be squelched, a8 she Gught L. be, he can e nominated.

But there is another side of the question. While Blaine is not acandidave and don't want the no tion, a very large number of the republican voters throughout the country insist that he shail be a candi- date and shall again carey their standard in a national campaign. You sce this in the convention aud on the street when people congregate in numbers, and the fact that these delegates cannot concentrate upon any ome of the pronounced candidates gives this statement point and llustration, and therein is the danger that threatened to frustrate the desire of those who want Blaine nominated. In their enthusiasmand zeal those who would declare and vote for Blaine in the convention did not stop to think of Mr. Blaine's desires i of his relations and dutics to the gentle men who are competing for the nomination. If Blaine had been sprung on this eonvention and his nomination came from a stampede it would be peremptorily declined before the echoes of the reluctant cheers could pass be- yond the walls of the auditorium. A full knowledge of Mr. Blaine's feelings in this respect has induced lis intimate friends here --the men who really most dosive to sccure his nomination—to labor with the California people and ofhers to provent, Blaine's name from being fofmally presented, and to frustrate any effort intended to push him before the convention. Our labors have been direeted to prevent, not to nromote Blaine’s nomination. We had great trouble with the California people, and ouly succeoded in persuading them to cease their efforts by the as: nee that they would defeat their purpose by compelling Blaine to refuse a nomination he had already declined and which ho conld not with honor accept. From this explanation you will un derstand Blaine's position and approciate the dificulties surrounding his most intimate iriends. Bricfly, Blaine don't want to be a candidate. We want to force him to bo come such and this can be done only by hav- ing the convention, through its own fre, wa- trammelled action, call upon him to take the leadership after it has boen demonstrated by satisfuctory tests that no other man can be ceted. Blume cannot be nominated and called with the voieo of supplication and in a tonc of unanimity. It cannot be forced. We would like to see it accomplished and what o r can be p utly done to bring it 1sthe aim of Blaine's frie just now are dates what is the actual conveution,” From personal Imowledge and ob servation I an state that the Blaine men have been laboring to prevent the mention of s name and pre clude any demonstration in the convention inhis favor. In reply to questions these men assurad me they were not in communi cation with Blaine, thut he had no knowledige of their movements and that they were pre- vented from comvaunicating with him by the fear that he would write something that would effeetually excludo any mention of his name by the convention under any civeum stances whatever, Imeta member of the Indiana delegation about 7 o'clock this even ing in the Grand Pacific hotel “What is the feeling in the Indiana gation?” 1 asked, “Still in favor of sticking to Harrison,” he answered, “bat with a growing towards Giresham 1f wo can mauke hin.

Indications That His Policy Will Bo One of Peace. THE WAR SCARE DISAPPEARING. German Financiers Reassured and All Securities Steady—Puarport of the Royal Address — Honoring the Empress Mother. A Man of Peace. Copyriuht 1853 by James Gordon Bennett.] Benuiy, June 2h—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tie Ber.]—German financiers and the great mass of well in- formed Germans scom to <elieve Kaiser William is neither rash nor war-loving, otherwise the sturdiness of the stock market would be incomprehensible. All the stocks, Russian, Austrian, ete., which fluctuated so violently during the last year of the old kaiser’s life arc still controlled in a large measure by German quotations. These stocks are widely enough scattered through Germany to insure a panic in them if any ap- preciable part of his subjects suspected the emperorof desiring war. Yet thero is no suspicion of a panic nor of any marked change from the period of steadiness which sc®ms to have set in, In reference to the emperor’s proclamation that he will make on Monday in the reich- stag, 1 am able to give you the views of some of the foremost men in Berlin political and financial circles with whom I have spoken. They have been assured that it will be of the most pacific character, laying special stross on the fact that the foreign relations of Germany will be continued ex- actly in the same spirit as under William 1. and the Emperor Frederick. The imperial proclamation will b most earefully guarded and will not be printed in the government printing office until about four hours after the emperor pronounces it in the reichstag. If those with whom I have spoken are right, and they should know, and this peaceful message is belicved, there will bo a general secking after’ nceded vacations by the anxious politicians, business men and journalists, who *have not dared to go away untii the fature was assured, at least for tne immediato present—politically and socially. Every- body will get away from here and there will be little or no gossip to send you. Regarding the rumors circulated concern- ing the kaiser's d:sposition and intentions, i eminent political autho said to me “Most of these rumors w started or greatly exaggerated by the radical press, which more than anything else has alw feared the reign of another such firmly but gently conservative ki 18 was the late Kaiser William. Of late, too, the radicals have used every effort to prevent the late emperor's abdication. Among these means have been all kinds of stories about the present emperor. Uufortunately the foreign press quotes almost entirely from the sensa- tional opposition papers. As a result, the wilder the story the more certain it is to be widely quoted, hence the world at large out- side of Germany, lacking other information, has agreed to call the cmperor a hot headed warri “In German politics this misrepresentation mMust prove a gri advantagze to the young kaiser. He has been called bad names until ty o the people are ready to purdon any smull errors merely because they feared greater ones. Now his proclumations prove him a son and, so far as words go, n wise It wiil be qu y scen that any party willing in the past to endanger the empive by exeiting the suspicions of other n against its future roler is unworth of con- fidence. Out of party animosity will come, therefore, a national party with the emperor for its leader, *Aside frou or our allics, the ons, n unprovoiced at 2 is only one risk of a If the minor Ge should show themselves distrustfal or jeal- ons of their young kaiser; if, through picion or jealousy, any attempt 1s made to in on us Ger- sovereigns man war, nun sus- fringe the imperial perogutives, then the fuiser wight choose to rally all Germany around him for a vie- vious forcign war. The yowr kuiser has probably no overwhelming des for the old imperial title *Inere pire,”” but it is quite re ser of the srtain that without a struggle he ‘will never yield any power granted his ancestors. The risk, the nceds scarcely people : considered for the G re for the empire, even if the against one or all the petty kingdoms, address from Prussia’s oid enemy, the Saxon people, proves this. S he key-note of the new admin- istration as shown by Die Post's official icle is opposition to all wars made by or against Germany or its alli Wien an emperor scarcely on his throne goes so far as to adyise France where they may safely strike, it is hardly fair to accuse him of a desire to make war hinself. How was this dones Oh, you did not notice the ending of the Post's article, Truly then, the wor offers wide fields outside—a war with Ger- for French ambitions and French o8 and flelds which France will no Gerwan jealousy, No, I did say I meant England That ide oceurs to you naturaliy because England is the nearest and most defenseless of the flelds in which France can regain the self-respect she lost in 1570, . Among the odds and endi of news afloat is @ rumor that Kaiser William had decided to showing his respect for his mother's abilities by conferring upon her such vice regal place as that now held in Brunswick by Prince Albert, of Prussia, Where and what is not stated, but t sons for this are said to be, among other things, the desire to prove that he isjnotand has not been heropponent during his father's and grandfather's reign and *o 80 aecustom the empress mother to practice government, that in the event of a regency she may be able to fill the imortant place which in any regency she must inevitabiy take, If in any degree true, this would be totally at variance with all Prussian customs but might be politically most wise as it would attach to the kaiser most of those rad- icals who are now more loyal to the empress mother than to Ler son, Tam uble to state that the emperor will coutinue on the same line as his two prede- cessors, leaving foreign affuirs almost entirely in the bands of Bismarck, and if Bismarck gets sick then in those of “Littie Bismarck,” [ 50 thiat no uncasiness as to the disturbance of peace is felt aud the friends already be- come firmer.

On Monday the new emperor makes his debut before the German reichstag. The address that he will pro- nounce on that occasion will mark a white day in the annals of Germany. The emperor, after a long conversation on Wednesday with Prince Bismarck, at Potsdam, went to his library in the Marmot palace and wrote with his own hand a rough draft of the address that he intends to make on Monday. ‘L'his draft of the ad- dress covers eight pages of closely written letter paver. It will be submitted to Prince Bismarck for any suggestions or amend- ments, ot Though T am, of course, ignorant of its en- tire contents, T am in a position to state that its two most important features will be: First, that great emphasis will be laid upon the fact that the most perfect accord exists between the emperor and his chancellor, who will be spoken of in terms almost bor- dering on admiration, and second, that as re- gards the policy of peace “inaugurated by my grandfather and continued by my father, t will be maintained in its fullest extent.” The address, it is believed, will be one of the most reassuring and peaceful messages ever uttered by a Hohenzollern prince. Tt is firmly believed in official circles here that a complete understanding has been arrived at with Russia and it is probable that in the course of the present summer a meeting will take place between the German emperor, the czar and the emperor of Austria. The Berlin bourse is a pretty good barometer and for three days the Rns- sian, German and Austrian bonds have been ing. Russian railroad stocks have advanced from 1 to 8 points.

Mr. Henry Villard still remains here, but leaves for the south on Tuesday. Jucob Schiff, of New York, has recently purchascd two oil paintings—Der Fricde, by L. Knaus, and Siegreiche Heimeher, by Gi.

Leaders— the A Conservative Wrangle, [Copyright 188 by James Gordon Bennett.] Loxpoy, June M4.—[New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee. | ~There cannot be much doubt now as to how the English par stand, The conser ive chiefs have unwisely advertised to the world the serions differences which exist in their ranks. Of course the whole truth has mnot come out, but enough is known to convince everybody that the followers are discontented and the leaders irvitable. The only question a year ago was, Can you keep fasthold of tho liberal unionists? Now this party may well turn to Sulisbury and Smith and ask, Are you quite sure of the conscrvatives! It is more than ever neeessary to recoive with suspicion the version of affairs which is daily put forward by most of the London news- papers. . Some of them cherish a deadly animosity towards * Mr. Gladstone, others are influenced by social considerations. You remember what_Disracli said about the Times and gilded saloons. All are dependent upon the ministry for early tips and they speak on rty matters as the heads of the party di- rect them. Now they are saying that the meeting last Thursday has improved the feeling of the conservatives towards their leaders. The talk of the house and the lob- bies is very different. The grumbling at the local government bill goes on harder than ever. Salisbury’s lecture has only created a feeling of soreness among the country par- ties. As for the left wing it satisfied be- cause it has made good its position and knows that it is bound to win. After all it only desires to inform the public service of the cessation of jobbery and Honest ex penditure of the public funds. This may sound rather radical to same ears but it is not treasonable. A man could not be sent to prison for holding such views even in [Ire- land. Theso and other elements of discord being in existence, what is the best course open to the Gladstonians? It is to stand by and let the dissensions do their work. That scems quite plain but the leaders do not think so They deem the moment vorable for m ing a general attack on the conservative camp. They choose a question which en- ables Mr. Smith once more to sound the rallying ery of “T'he on in danger.” Noth- ing else would have induced the conserva- tives to close up their ranks and putaside the minor differences. More than once dur ing the last two years Mr. Gladstone has re united the tory party, certainly without in- tending, perhap ithout suspecting it. He is. ) ho has now made another tactical mis He should have left the torics to go on wrangl- fng, holding mectings supposed to be vrivate, but of which garbled and delusive reports are promptly dispatehed to the newspapers, reports eminently favorable to the ministry and much the reverse towards everybody else. This has been permitted to continue with as little interference as possi ble from outsiders, but Gladstone came to a different conclusion and now the unionist forces will rally plexed und dishc to the rescue of the per- rtened ministry. This is very fine, no doubt, but it is not the wiy to win battles. Let the old political hands among your readers judge for themselves.

WasiiNGroy Brreav toe Ovmana Bee, 13 FOURTEEN T STREE WasHiNGToN, D. ¢ The prominent presidential aspirants lo cated at present in Washington surprised everybody around the capitol by appearing there bright and carly this morning. They were accompanied by Senator Don Cameron, of Peunsylvania. This fact in itself was ad- ditional cause for comment, for the reason that until yesterday afternoon the Pennsyl- vania senator has not been trusted by Al lison or Sherman, Late yesterday afternoon they sent for Don and have begn in confers ence with him more or less over since. 1t was also at 10 o'clock this morning that Sherman and Allison, acermpanied by Sena- tors Cameron and Hawley, went up to the oftice of the secretary of the senate, where the special run for their accommodation is lo- located. For three hours and a half con- tinuously they conversed with their Chicago managers, Both Sherman and Allison scem to thoroughly understand cach other and are working jointly. It is said that Mr. Sher- man would much prefer to have Blaine re- ceive the nomination than have it go to Mo Kinley or any other Ohio man. If Blaine istobe the choice they want tho ticket to be Blaine and Harrison. It was given out at the capitol this afternoon that Elkiu & Co. coutrol 513 votes in the convention which they can command on v ballot that they want for Blaine. said, that they have not done it before was that they believed it poliey to_ give the uther aspirants all the string and time that they wanted before runnimg their locomotive over The only reason, it is them. The wanted them to get out of the way and not remain_on the track and be crushed to death by Blaine.

He was to-day reported to *be espe- cially bitter toward Governor Foraker, and it was said that he dido't want McKinley nominated for first place. In any confer- ences that huve been going on to day at Chi- cago the wishes of both the aspivants from Ohiio and lowa have been made known to the leaders. They remained at the capitol until} alute hour this morning, when they weut Tome 1o dinmne To-night of Mr. Sherman’s friends called upon him at his howe on K street and they discussed the outlook. Senator Sherman stated that he did not want 10 be subjected to any, newspaper interview and admonished his” fricnd not to quote him to newspaper men. I have it, however, that Mr. Sherman wits in o very elicerful mcod and expressed himself as not only being in the race but hay- ing a very good 1ce of st . He said he had the fullest confidence in Governor Poraker and the statement eredited to him to the effeet that the governor would support Blaine and leave the Ohio candidate, were . incorreet: that Poraker was true to the in- structions given him when chosen a delegate, ¢ suid regarding the MekKinley matter that, the scheme to flash him upon the convention tomorrow agiinst Mr. Blaine Lad all been fixed and that Major MeKinley's name would 1ot o before the convention. Mr. Sherman intimated that Mr. McKinley did not desiro above all things to be that General Garfield L years ago. plucad in the attitude was when nominated Senator Sherman said that he could not see that his chanees were in the least diminished by any of the actions of Jast week and that he had mo intentions of withdrawing his mame, wuch less of bringing about the nowination of Mr, Blaine, He would' not suffer the withdrawal of his name as long as ho led the other candidates, He has| no iden that Mr. Blame will stampede the belicve the Plumed nominated by acclama- He cevidently is of the opinion that sonvention intends to another can- than Blaine, and_Le thinks it is pro- s to talk apout Mr. Blaine us a com- 5 1 only five ballots have been taken and a fair opportunity has not yet been ziven to the convention to agree upon one of the gentlemen whose names have been pliced before the convention. Senator Sher- man thought that in order to nomi it would be necessary for the H Alger forces to zo over to him (Mr. Blaine), Land also for the Shermun following 1o go over, and this he does not anticipate, at leant until many ballots have been taken, He caunot sce why Harrison, Alger and the other wmen should be descried for Blaipe this early m tho work. Sena= tor Sherman spoke more cordially of General Harrison than probably any other convention and does not Knight could now be mation the candidate before the convention.” He called attention to the fact that New York, Cons nectient and New Jorsey had joined hands with Indini in an cffort to nominate the Hoosier under the impression thav i those doubrful states were willing to take hin as their leader that the strong republicun states 0 it to follow and give him the nomination, He said it was s very plausible movement and came near succeeding. e intimated that the combination might yet succeed. Ho thinks if Harrison is nominated the second place will be filied by Morton or Phelps. The friends i Washington of Sherman, Allison and Harrison are very bitter in theip comments upon the action of the men who forced the recess yesterdiy and Friday with- out further ballotix cy say the Blaine men are oo cager to secure the nomination of their candidate; that while they are pro- claiming thut they don't want to see Blaine nowinated until there has been given a good and fair chance to nominate one of the men now before the convention, they are at the same time conniving to have the convention take a recess every time it meets and to avoid ballots, fearing that the choice will be made from one of the candidates named, In their opinion the chunces of success fop Mr, Blaine will be very greatly impaired if is nominated before there have been many more ballots taken. The republicans in Washington are sure of one thing in counecs tion with the icigo convention, und that is that Senator ingalls' letter published in the Chicago News yesterday was very ins discreet and will bring to him a great'deal of embarrassment. A great deal was said in Washington to. day about au editorial in this morning's New York ‘Triviue on the situation at Chis cago. It says taat the Blaine people have been trying to get the delegates to consolis date and electoue of the candidates before the convention; that Depew has suggested Hurrison, that otiler Blaine men have .u“i gested Sherman, Allison, and 8o forth, B > editorial which is under the caption o The Delay and the Conspivacy that Caused 11, closes with philosophy like this: I John Sberman must be beaten why should he not preter being boaten by the old leader of the party ruther than by Algert If Hame. | rison must be beuten avhy shouldn’t he take it wmore kindly to have Blyiue. beat hi vather thun Cireshame?
