PInchbeck Goes for the President and
the Party.
CINCINNATI, June 14.-Mr. Pinch
beck broke forth in his might at a
meeting of the Louisiana delegation
yesterday, and freely gave his opinion
of the President and Conkling. The
burden of his speech was that If the
Republican party wants to keep the
votes of the colored people of Louisi-
ana it must give them a large share
in the offices. He ascribed his own
defeat in the Senate to the moral fear
on the part of Senators that he
would, if permitted to take his seat in
that body, bring his wife to Washing
ton and insist upon her mixing with
the creme de la creme of society. This
will strike most people as new view
of Pinchbeck's case.
CINCINNATI, June 14.-Blaine Is ev-
identity strongest man among dele
gates as shown by the action on the
floor to-day. Every allusion direct or
indil lect to Blaine brought forth ap-
plause; the outside pressure on the
other hand are nearly all for Bristow,
and the galleries are filled with his
friends whose noisy demonstrations
gave proof of their zeal and devotion.
Arrangements for the accommodation
of the delegates, members of the press
and spectators are exceedingly faulty
and stupidity seems to have char
acterized the whole plan; while thou
sands of people have stood in the
streets, during the day begging admis-
sion to the galleries which have at no
time been more than two-thirds
full. Tonight, it is said, tickets
of admission are being sold on
the streets at extravagant prices.
During the whole day Blaine men
claim to have been receiving acces-
sions, and tonight they are offering
odds that he will be nominated on the
second ballot. The excitement of to.
night exceeds yesterdays, and meet
ings on behalf of the various candi-
dates are being held at the respective
headquarters. Professions are march
ing in all directions, while the streets
are thronged. 1t is estimated that
thirty thousand strangers are in the
city tonight. The Blaine managers
are jubilant and coAfident, claiming
80 votes on the first ballot, his prob
able nomination on the second, and
certain triumph on the third. Hayes
seems to be the choice of all factions
for the second place, but his friends
are still holding out for the first, and
may thus lose both. The Kentucky
delegation say Bristow will not ac-
cept the nomination for Vice Presi-
dent, and still profess to have hopes
of his nomination for the first place.
The general impression is that be has
no chance for anything but the second
place. Carl Schurz, Mr.. Halstead and
other friends of Bristow have been in
consultation, but the result of their
deliberations are not known. A large
meeting in the interest of Bristow is
being held in Pixies Opera House, and
one in Morton's interest at the From
tier House to night, and a larger one
in Blaine's favor at the Grand Hotel.
Blame at midnight still holds the po-
sition of favorite against the field, and
the energies of the friends of the rival
candidates seem to be directed against
him. One of the movements against
Blaine was the appointment of Com
missioners from the Ohio and Indiana
delegations to visit all other delega-
tions and say to them, "If you nomi-
nate Blaine you must expect to elect
him without the aid Of Ohio, Indiana
or New York, for he cannot carry any
of those States.n These Committees
faithfully performed their task, but
with what effect is not known. One
of the rumors tonight is that if Nor
ton fails to secure the nomination at
the second ballot it will throw his
strength for Hayes, which with the
reinforcements expected from other
quarters will, Hayes friends claim,
nominate him. In the event of
Blaine's failure, it is claimed by the
Conkling men that their favorite will
receive most of Blaine's Eastern
strength. On the other hand, Blaine's
friends claim half of New York on the
third and all of New England on the
second ballot. White of New York is
frequently mentioned as possi-
BILE compromise candidate. 1t
is evident that the policy of anti.
Blaine interest to fight for time and
their plan in case that Blaine devel-
ops enough strength on the first bal
lot is to indicate his nomination on
the second is to withdraw by States
for conference, thus prolonging the
Convention another day. All of the
opposition seems for some reason to
feel that Blaine will lose strength
as time goes on, and they conf
IDENTIFY predict his defeat in case the
convention fails to nominate before
Friday. Bristow's friends claim that
he is gradually gaining, and that if
they only have time he will yet suc-
ceed. A great deal of work is being
done in his behalf, and the local pres
sure is nearly all in bis favor. The
Committee on Resolutions have been
in session all evening. The financial
plank of the platform will prob
ably declare for speedy re-
turn to specie payments and
against the repeal of the resumption
act, unless substituted by an act that
will more speedily secure the object
of the present act. The Committee on
Credentials also had long session,
and it Is thought will not be able to
