Los Angeles daily herald., 1876-06-14

Conkling is the best organized. They
have all the leading working men of
the State here working just as they
are accustomed to do at home. The
Copkling men are necessarily visiting
the delegate headquarters by turns.
At the Nebraska headquarters this
morning was found the Conkling COM
mittee. This is their argument: We
of New York are for the candidate of
the convention, but think we can do
better with Conkling than with
Blaine. IF we were sure that the
Democrats would nominate Tilden we
should feel more confident of success
with some other man than Conkling.
If we do not nominate Conkling the
Democrats will nominate Seymour
and carry the State. Seymour is not
out of the race. He has been making
himself popular with the mass
of the people, and will command
the solid vote of the party. The
only men who can beat Seymour in
New York is Conkling, and there are
many Democrats who will vote for
Conkling if the Democrats nominate
anybody else than Seymour. The in
dications are that Pennsylvania will
name the candidate. If Hartranft can
not win, either Blaine, Conkling or
Morton are waiting till Pennsylvania
adds her strength and can give one of
them the majority. The Bristow
force are not making sensational
fight. They are working through cir
culars and addresses, with which they
flood all incoming trains and public
buildings here. The Mortonites are
working under the surface and are
very strong. The Conklingites ap-
pear to eye and ear continually with
placards, professions and bands. The
Blaine forces are making
square, open fight on the mer.
its of the case, and work with the
enthusiasm of superior numbers
and the triumphant spirit of the
North west is telling palpably. The
Bristow element from Chicago formed
with that from Cincinnati and reinfor-
ced by that from Kentucky are work.
ing with unanimity and confidence.
Chicago will put a strong Blaine guard
in the field. A special train of five
carloads comes down to day and its
composition will be surprise to the
friends of the other candidates. 1t
numbers many prominent men who
were not hitherto counted on.
CINCINNATI, June 13, evening.-All
the delegations have been hard at
work to- day in the interest of either
preferences. Posters headed, "The
Coming Man, James G. Blaine" and
containing extracts from his speeches
are cOnspicuously posted through
out the city. A meeting of his
friends is to be held in front of the
Burnett House tonight.
It is said the Conkling men are now
engaged on ticket composed of
Hays of Ohio and Morgan or Wheeler
of New York. The Alabama Spencer
men are preparing paper which ac-
cuses anti-Spencer men, particularly
jeremiah Harolson Of various misde-
meanors and they meet for organiza-
tion tonight. 1t is said that Georgia
delegates meet tonight for organiza-
ton The West Virginia delegation
held a meeting to-day. Hon. w.
Wiley was selected as chairman.
Dispatches to the Gazette says that
4S hours must elapse before it is known
whether Blaine lives. This is evil
IDENTIFY done TO influence delegates.
The prospect at this time is that
Blaine will surely be nominated. He
seems to have gained strength stead
lily to-day. This is the reason given
for the report of the action of the
Conkling men in working to effect an
arrangement that will put Hays and
Morgan or Hays and Wheeler in nom-
ination.
News From the Hostile Indians,
CHICAGO, June 13. - Dispatches
dated May 80 have been received at
the Department Headquarters from
General Terry. They contain nothing
additional to what has already been
received, except that the commands
were in good condition and had en-
countered no Indians. This would
indicate that the fight reported from
Laramie as with Custer's command
was mistaken; the fight, if any had
been was with General Gibbons COM
mand, with whom there are four COM
panies of Second Cavalry.

has been on the streets ever since the
fuss, ready to meet his adversary in
any manner.
Blaine stock Going Up.
CINCINNATI, June 18th, 2 P. M
Blaine stock seems to be steadily i'm
proving. A canvass of the California
delegation shows three possible votes

feeling in favor of Morton as second
