done by Don enIeron, whose political
reputation, it SA. sand, was at stake. The
facts, however, do Lot seem to bear out
the story. Various test votes on side

TO be sure of the Philadelpoia delegates,
controlled by William B. Mann, and
also of those from Allegheny county, yet
some of Blaine's friends even go so

Is no question that Cameron is
working hard for Conkling, and it would
be going too far to say he has 10 influence
in the delegation. There are negotiations
going Oh at all times between the Conk-
ing ahd Hsrtrantt men, but there don't
seem to have been any agreement arrived
at which involves any number OF votes.
1t was decided to give Hartranit
one unanimous vote. Whether he
be Withdrawn before the second
or before the third ballot must be settled
tomorrow.
During the evening the Blaine men
have been showing signs OF settled con-
tidence, which mas had an effect on the
supporters of other candidates. Not
wilnstanding the losses OF tne day they
claim to have gained enough in New
hampshire, California and Illinois to
couuterbslance all that and to give their
candidate between 290 and 800 votes on
the first ballot. II has been
decided TO have no informal one,
since it would necessarialiy consume
time This estimste Is made out by the
Blaine men. They claim that they have
vigorously eliminated all votes which
could in anv way be considered doubtful.
On the second ballot they claim that
Blaine will gain fifty votes from dele
rstes outside of Ohio or Pennsylvania.
Then they expect when that jump Is
.een there is seen there will enough i'm
mediate changes TO ensure his nomination
on that ballot. They are onident
when Blaine is so near success there Will
not be hacking delegations who struggle
tor the honor of being the first to change
to him. AS regards the somewhat con.

Morton Weakening.
As Blaine went up Morton naturally
wei, down. The claims made yesterday
were repeated to-day, but the air OF con-
fdence with which they have been AS
serted had disappeared, the faces said one
thing ard the lips another and the hopes
entertained of gains from Blame IN the
northwest and northeast vanished when
i. became apparent that Blaine had no
intention OF getting out oil the way

ConkIinS's Prospects.
The Conkling men are as quiet to-day
as they were yesterday, but the expert.
enced politicians among them have not
been wasting time. There are
rumors that they have been using
money and not in vain, but such trans.
actions ar. not carried out in daylight.
and can be verified only when voting
actually begins in the Convention. Until
then they cannot be said TO be true.
ConkIing's friends are busy saying that
what they call Morton's collapse only
indicates that the fight IN the
Convention will be between Blame snd
me Senator from New York, snd that oi
the two the latter ls the only one who
cal, carry the Empire Stste, bu: this reas-
oping don't seem 10 have made any In.

of Csmerons labcrs with Pennsylvania,
but the general feeling is not one OF
