Chicago, June 20.—The first day of the
conven tton of 1888 is over and the dele
gates are as much at sea as ever. They
spent a blistering hot day yesterday and
an nncomfortsbly warm night. There are
a good many tired men here this morning.
The convention struck one as an eminently
deliberative body. The delegates are a
grave, earnest collection of men, who seem
to be aware that they cannot afford to lose
a single chance if they wish to beat Cleve
land next autumn. The convention will
not be stampeded. Whatever shall bo done,
will be the result of the utmost delibera
tion.
Clay ton Me Michael In editorial despatch
to the Philadelphia North American says:
"It looks to me as it Senator Allison,of Iowa,
has the best chance among those whose
names have thus far.been heralded as candi,
dates; yet (bereis practically nothing to
night to warrant any change in tbe opinion
of tbe situation already given to Tbe North
American in my earlier diipatches. Tuere
has been polling and persuading, bnt there
has been no essential alteration of the for
tunes of the several candidates Tbe under
standing that Pennsylvania will practically
vote as a unit for John Bherman after the
first ballot, antll be is oat of the fight, is an
excellent achievment of Mr Quay's diplo
macy, tor upon the plea of making the
state a recognised factor in tbe settlement
of the nomiuatian be brings encouragement
to his own camp, and pays (all price for
the yielding of Philadelphia by promising
to more than double for Mr. Filler the
national measure of strength as demoostra
ted In tbe vote in the first Pennsylvania
caucus.'*
Senator Sewell of New Jersey, says that
New Jersey will swine its vote (or Sher
man after Phelps. He soys New Jersey
is not very friendly to Depew. and will not
support him.
Tbe Pennsylvania delegation held a cau
cus last night and called James MoManes to
the chair. Senator Q lay was ohooseu (or
tbe National Uommit.ee over Chris Magee
by a vole of 45 to 7. They took a poll and
decided to vote that way to-day on the
pew, 2; Blaine, 1; and Alger, 1.
Considerable surprise was created among
Pennsylvanians yesterday afternoon by
toe distribution of these circulars at tbe
Tremont House;
"What is wanted by the conservative
people of tbe United States for their next
President is a practical, thorough business
man. lo selecting as their representative
John Wanamaker, the merchant prince,
they will find a man who towers oonspicn

administration,
combines them all, and with a personal
character so far above reproach that even
the foul breath of slander would not ven
ture to assail It, and a familiarity and pop
ularity that embraces the whole eonniry.
His candidacy would from tbe outset pres
age and assure a triumphant victory for
our great and glorious Republican party."
The most strikiag parade of the day,
however, was that of tbe Cincinnati Blaine
Club, who appeared several hundred strong
They wore white bat* and glove* and car
ried parasols They marched in column of
(ours, open order, the parasols of the suo

These they twirled rapidly, giving an ex
