National Republican Convension.
CINCINNATI, June l2.-The greatest
anxiety has been felt by all parties to-day
concerning the condition of Mr.. Blaine.
A number of kilograms have been re-
ceived, all stating that he was improving
rapidly, and in day or two would be
completely restored Some parties de-
cla.. IL to be fact that Mr.. Blaine's ILL
ness was being used to weaken his force,
and especially to prevent any sympathy
being excited in his favor to the extent
of winning doubtful delegates to bis sup
port.
A sensational despatch to the Enquirer
from Washington to the effect that Mr..
Bristow had called upon Mr.. Blaine in
his prostrated condition, and was repelled
by Mr.. Blaine causes considerable COM
ment. Mr.. Frye, the leader OF the
Blame faction, says he does not be-
lieve the statement, rs there has been no
slluslon to it in his dispatches, and fur.
thermore he knew Mr.. Blaine and Mr..
Bristow were friendly, and always had
been.
The Conkling headquarters at the
Grand Hotel present very active scene.
Among the prominent arrivals this
morning are Stewart l.. Woodford, A. X.
Burkett, and w. Butler Duncan. The
New York delegation are now IN consul
tation in their psrlors.
The North Carolina delegation ar
rived to-day, and 'are registered at the
Grard d Hotel.

The Morton men, starting with the Ms
sumption that Blaine will not recover in
time TO secure in convention the Vote hr
otherwise would, even if presented ther
at all, are in much better spirits to-da,
than yesterday, claiming that the DANCE

ened and that what danger be has to tea'

rhey assert that the efforts madt
by the Conkling men to secure
the southern votes, that being supposed
to be the most valuable quarter, hav,
tailed, and that the delegates from tina,
section, colored and white, remain rs yet
faithful To those whom they were pledged
10 support The chief reliance Of Mortot
is on accesslons which il is believed will
come " him from Blaine men in The
northwest and northeast, should 1t b.
found that the latter could not be NOM

Of Illinois, and a pretty full vot"
from Maine would go tor Morton wher
Blaine drops out. The number u b.
thus obtained from Illinois il not a
large rs has been claimed by some. Go
Ingersol and about five others will prob
ably make up all that can be obtained
from that source. The delegation from
Indiana il asserted 10 be determlneH

and have no second choice. III
contested seats from Alabama will be th
first matter which will come before th'
convention which will create any discus-
.lon. 1t will be preceded only by tn
formal busi .css. The convention will b.
called TO order by Governor Morgan, oi

Central Committee, who will make \
brief address, not exceeding Nv
minutes in length. Then Judg

difficulty by admitting neither, but tb'
