WAsuISGros, jane lit is re-
ported to night that Bristow received
, proposition from Cincinnati to secure
him the nomination for President in
consideration OF. the votes of his friends
for Blaine. He replied by telegraph .
II am in tho hands of my friends, the

cd 1t is stated that Bristow received
a telegram from Cincinnati this morn
ing inqniring if he would accept the
second place on the ticket ii offered to
him by the convention, in the event of
Blalne's nomination. and he replied
that he was willing TO leave the matter
III the hands of his friends. 1e@a
1t is mentioned asa singular histori-
cal parallel that Buchanan and Breck-
enrilge were nominated by the Demo
cratic party at Cincinnati. There was
peculiar acciterAfion OF the names of
the two BIS. and the rude puns Of that
period. Bully boys. bravest and best.
bound to beat. will bc RENE bered by
those who were familiar with the event
Of that exciting campaign. 1t is
thought that Bristow's name would
materially strengthen the ticket. and u
prctext would thereby be furnished to
Liberal Republicans to return to the
party. aud. besides. the religious ele-
ment Of the country which has favored
Bristow's nomination would also b. re-
turned to tho party. Several promi-
nent Republicans in this city declared
to-day that Blaine and Bristow would
be the strongest ticket tina. could be
! placed in the field.

his dinner with hrs friends. read tho
evening papers, aud spent All hour or
two in conversation with his friends
a,al relations blaine then retired Ia
rest. and at 90 was sleeping quietly.
Among the very numerous kilograms
received 10y Blaine to- day from all parts
Of the country consra.nlating him in
his convalesconce aud prospects gener-
ally, is one from the Spanish Minister
now in New York. and several friends
in the mountains OF California. &
The WorlFs Washington special says;
a statement has been made to- day on
authority of some worth, OF Grants
purpose to remove Bristow after the
convention unless his name is on the
ticket But there is suspicion that the
statement is a ruse OF Bristow's friends
to help him in the convention.
