for Mr. Blaine that Mr. CALDWELL Of Boston, sailed for
Europe 80 suddenly and Unexpectedly immediately
ator Mr.. j. s. G. HARRISON OF indianapolis, told his
little story about that little bond transaction with the
Union Pacific Railroad Company. 1t was very pcrvcrsc
and unreasonable in Mr.. Caldwell to absent himself tho
moment his testimony became necessary 10 acqut Mr..
Blaine and tho fact that they close ntim 10
friends will give malicious people excuse for think
Ing that Mr. Caldwell won't away to obligc Mr. Blaine

vcnton passed resolution expressing preference
for Blaine. and elected delegation to the National
Convention composed OF men of whom three iourths
were his declared supporters. But conkling's bum
mcrs have been very busy since then under Official or
scmi Official sanction, and their influence has not been
without It's effect upon those delegates that hold Office
or who hope 70 do Nevertheless, tho delegation
may b. counted on for Blaine, unless he should
woakon bcforc the National Convention meets or
loss Conkng should develop unexpected strength.

favor Of tho delegation"
Baltimore American:--"It Is getting TO look very
much as II Mr. Blame viii have clear majority In the
Cincinnati Convention soon as the compIime ntary
votes cast This support Of his candidacy by
pubicans East and West must be accepted evidence
that stronger nominee could DO put up The per-
sstent Efforts OF the scandal bureau Washington 10
bring him disgrace have actually been OF service to
him Tho ondcavor TO tarnish his good namc has
awakened that OF ir play which is inherent with
American people, and has really advanced his chances
Of tho nomination There Is nothing rash In the proph
ccy that Mr.. Blaine will be thu republican candidate
for the Presidency and that no will be elected Tho
OF the democratic State conventions far
give no indication as 10 who will DO his opponent"
