ing Strength fer Bristow.
CJNc.ANAT1. June 1.-The seriousness
of Blsine's illness, just confirmed by semi
official dispat shes, increa ses the excitement
among the delegates. No one ventures to
predict the probable result. Before the
in news wc3 received q canvass of the
NJ. aa,busett, aud Vel mont delegations
shove that they will nearly all vote for
B1st'w. This hs' s.estly elated the
ends of the Sc ore'l,y. The Indie1a dele.
CATION are equally confident that Blaine
out of the way, Morton will be stronger on
the &C cond ballot than COnkling.
Effect of Blaine's Illness.
Blaine's sickness hf caused great anxiety
and seems TO have worked against him in
the matter of winning doubtful delegate ,
+, his support. There seems no break in
the Oh :ginal strength Of the several parties,
or change n figures for the first ballot, or
progress in combinations.

ARRIVAL OF DELEGATES
BLAINE's STRENGTH ON FIRST BALLOT
CONKLING MEN ENTHUSIASTIC
HAYES STOCK IS RISING
CAUCUS OF LOUISIANA DELEGATE
Especial to the New Orleans Republican.

CINCINNATI, June l2, 1876.
According to close estimate, based upon
declarations of the delegates, Blaine will
lead on the first ballot if he RECEIVERS before
Wednesday. The Conkling men are, how
ever, very enthusiastic. At the Empire
Club there is a sort of political Tattersall's e
here.
Hayes stock is rising . little in conse-
quence Of Blsine's illness.
So far as can learn none of the Northern
States, except Indiana, are for Morton.
The New York, Pennsylvania and Louis
lana delegates are at the Grand Cincinnati
Hotel.
All OF our delegates have arrived except
George L. Smith and C. B. Darrall. Oscar
A. Rice is here. however, with Darralrs
proxy.
Senators Hamlin and West are here, also
Matt Carpenter. Neither, however, is q
delegate.
Mr.. Blaine's critical condition has q
dispiriting effect upon some of the delegates,
who are willing to support him if he bids
fair to win. They say there is no use in
nominating man who is on his back. His
friends, however, maintain . confident atti-
tude and manage to keep bulletins posted
to promptly contradict all untavorsble
news from Washington.
Our delegates held caucus this morning
with eleven members present. but adjourned
without action until tomorrow.
