EASTERN DISPATCHES.

CHICAGO, June 13.-The Chicago Tri.
Dunes Washington special thinks tina,
Biaine's illness is used as weapon by
those who are against him. The friends
OF Conkling are making use of it. Blaine
still leads however. The Tribune's es.
innate is that Blaine is ahead and Conk.
ling good second. Morton is likely to
be dropped early. II the New York dele
CATION, Curtis and Lowe are for Bristow
all Others hold to Conklipg.
The New York Tribune's Washington
special says that Edmunds, Postmaster
and Secretary of the Republican Com.
mittee. is now organizing Democratic
soft money demonstration to take place
at st. Louis during the meeting of the
National Democratic Convention. Ed.
munds has been for several days in com.
munication with certain persons here
protesting to be Democrats, to whom
large sums of money have been allowed
for the purpose of getting up row on
the money question at st. Louis. Mr..
Edmunds did the same thing in 1872.
This is no secret, for Edmunds has fire.
quently alluded to the matter, taking the
credit to himself for his cleverness of
management. He had agents in eyery
State and supplied them with money.
One is now in Michigan who received
$4,000. Many who went into the
movement were honest in their profes.
sions, but it was nevertheless a side.
show to the Republican circus. It ia
hardly possible that the same thing can
be done again, but it is certain that Ed
munds means to try.
WASHINGTON, June 13.-Blaines phy-
siciahs report his condition favorable.
He is rapidly gaining strength
BANGOR, Me-, June 13.-The Second
and Fourth District Democratic Conven-
ton, elected delegates to the st. Louis
Convention to-day. Both are pledged
to Tilden.
PoRr JERvIs, N. Y. June l3.-In the
town OF Bethel, Sullivan county. a
strange disease of very malignant type
has appeared among children. Several
have died recently after few hours
illness. The physicians are completely
baffied in their efforts to determine the
nature of the disease.
ST. LOUIS, June 13.-It is announced
that Col. VIM. Heath, Auditor of this
county. is in arrears to the amount of
from $50, 900 to 100000, and that suit
will be brought against him to recover
the deficit.
Colonel Meyer, Supervisor of Internal
Revenue, has returned from his raid on
illicit distilleries in Cape. Girdeaux and
Bollinger counties. He has broken up
about twenty stills, destroyed large
amount of property, and arrested and
placed under bonds sixteen persons
charged with making crooked whiskey,
Some fifty stills have been running in
hose counties.
CINCINNATI, June 13.-The Republican
has assembled the largest
md most excited crowd ever congregated
,ere. Everything is at fever heat, but
here is little acrimony of temper. After
careful review of the ground, I am
'atis6ed that Blaine will be nominated
IN not later than the third ballot and al.
most certainly on the second. He is
'onsta ntly gaining strength in conse.
Iuence of the assault upon him. His
ickness is the result of mental strain
lnder the attacks and excites much SYM
'aty, turning lukewarm into ardent sup
'orters. Blaine's friends to-day count
IN over three hundred votes ON the first
ballot sure, regardless OF Pennsylvania,
which is now understood to give him her
United vote on the second. New York
will cast twenty votes against Conkling
N the second or third ballot, giving him
II but two on the first. Hayes is near
y certain to be nominated for Vice
resident with Blaine. Bristow may
et one hundred votes at the first with
10 promise of growth. Theodore M.
'omeroy of New York is settled upon
or temporary chairman. Pomeroy will
robably be New York's Republican
lominee for Governor this fall. Had
Elaine failed, Mr.. A. Wheeler would
ave been brought forward for Presi-
ent after Conkling's withdrawal. His
riends will now press him for Speaker
or the next Congress-.
The Tribune's Washington special
avs that all information from the sus.
ended savings bank points to pros
ect of OF least Fifty per cent. dividend
vithin month and forty per cent. after
Yards If it goes into a receivers hands.
there is nothing in the history Of the
ase to alarm depositors in other savings
'anks and no runs are anticipated.
Mr.. Blaine's illness appears to have
happened the hopes of few of the more
rdent of his supporters at Cincinnati.
There is however no detection among
delegates heretofore for him except from
Michigan. and the loss is more than
made up by gains elsewhere. His pros
,eots with the Massachusetts delegates
re improving. Meanwhile the Conk-
ing men are working with great energy
Imong the Southerners and patronage
md cash are said to be offered. Second
,hoice delegates reported as captured
or Conkling, but the Pennsylvanians
till hold out against the Establishment
,fered and express personal preference
or Blaine rather than Conkling. What
,ver gains are made BY Conkling's par
isans the loss accrues principally to
Morton and partly to Bristow. 1t now
'eems probable that the main issue will
% between the forces of Blaine and
Jonkling.
