The Arthur bureau is full of busi
ness and his workers are in excellent
spirits. They are preparing a great
scheme to issue an extra edition of
half a million copies of one of the
Chicago dailies lb* day before the
convention, giving interviews with
leading business men and setting
forth arguments to show that the
country has unbounded confidence in
the present administration. Arthur
people also intimate that the Logan
delegates are ready to go over to the
administration forces at the proper
lime.
The Edmunds headquarters are in
the hands of elderly men who seem
to have any amount of mysterious
work to perform. They state that the
Loean army will wheel into line far
the Vermont leader at the word o f
command.
Senator Sherman’s friends who are
here have assurance that Logan will
give his entire weight to the Ohio
candidate whenever it is wanted.
Thus the indications are that the
Logan men have been telling sweet
tales into the ears cf nearly all the
leading candidates, and the probabili
ties are that the Illinois delegates will
mass their strength where it will do
the most good.
The latest combination, developed
to-day is Hawley of Connecticut and
Oglesby o* Illinois, a strictly war
record, hurrah ticket If a dead-lock
is likely to ensue ir. the convention,
the inventors of this combination be
lieve they can start in with 125 votes
for Hawley, with the understanding
that ancle Dick Oglesby shall be
nominated for second place.
