ington special to the Commercial says
just before Mr.. Blaine left his house
for church he received dispatch to
the effect that his friend, Judge Hoar
of Massachusetts, had changed front,
and was going to do all he could to de-
feat him at Cincinnati. This, the
special says, seemed to distress him
more than anything during the can
vass. The disposition of Blaine's
friends to stand by him is strong as
ever, though the fact that he may not
be in condition to be consulted in case
its thought best to turn his support
to some other candidate, it's said will
greatly compllcate matters. Large
number of delegates are arriving by
every train. A German delegation
from New York arrived to-day. They
say the choice of the Germans of New
York is for Washburn and Thayer, ,and
that the Germans will not support
Conkling. The Commercial claims to
have made a careful canvass of the
delegations already here with the fol-
lowing result: New Mexico for Blaine,
and last Rhode Island solid for Bris-
tow; New Jersey solid for Blaine, no
second choice.
