could be more Jealous faithful.
If Mr.. Douglas shall fail the first ballot the
North estern delegation resolved at Washington
to change their front in solid column, but indicated
second choice. Several Eastern delegations are
expected to cooperate in such contingency, but
cannot be relied on. They will look after their own
interest
The Douglas men claim the delegates from Maine,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, with
parts of Massachusetts, and Connecticut the rest

Outside there is very small and inconsiderable
interest felt
Mr. Lane is not named for the Presidency, and
the suggestion is ridiculed.
Mr. Orr is here surveying the ground having
achieved victory at the State Convention the
ultras. With any Northern candidate for President
he would be prominent for the nomination for Vice
President
Mr.. Stuart of Michigan is proposed, among others
for President of the Convention, but his Douglas
proclivites may interfere. That selection however
will not be considered test of strength.
Three hundred delegates and visitors from the
