Blaine, 3 for Bristow, for Conkling,
with the possibility that one Bristow
vote will 90 to Blaine. Nevada stands,
% for COnkling, 3 for Bristow. Sen
ator Sargent is here advocating an anti
Chinese plank on the platform, which
Senator Jones viii probably offer.

before Friday.

now claim that after careful counting,
leaving out all doubtful vetes, Blaine
will have on the ballot from 300 to
300; on second ballot he will gain 80

Pennsylvania; then they expect that
when that jump is seen, there will be
enough Immediately changed to insure
his nomination on that ballot
