prefers Mr. Conkling, and has been yer,
/ frank in expressing himself rs opposed
| to the nomination Of Mr.. Brstow, Mr.
| Blaine or any other candidate excep
Senator Conkling. He is understood e
speak very kindly OF Senator Morton
and some reports state that he has ever
gouc SO far as to say that II Mr.. Morton
had good health he would make the
preferable candidate of all But. In the
President = opinion. Mr. Morton's health
Is such that he might bo disabled in tn,
midst of his administration. and thus
cause confusion in tho party and injury
to the country
Tho nomination of Don Cameron to
be Secretary Of War il regarded hero as
nn arrangement to secure the vote ol
Pennsylvania in tho convention to Mr..
ConLing. There were rlmors several
weeks ago of such an arrangement as
necessary to secure the jealous support
IF Senator Cameron and his followers
in Pennsylvania. and the certainty with
which Mr.. Conkltng's 2 friends here have
for five or six weeks counted on the
Pennsylvania delegation. contrary to
the belief Of others. is thought to show
that the present change has been FOR
some time in contemplation.
The vicc presidency bogins also 10 be
talked of. and it is believed the Presi
dent has his preferences in regard to
this Office He IL understood to be ia
vorahiy disposed to u number OF per
sons. but to several of his friends hc has
specially named Mr.. McCreary, OF Iowa.
and Senator Alcorn. Of Mississippi. "
il believed that if tho Southern dele
gates in convention should ask for the
of Mr. Alcorn. he would
have the Prcsideut's influence in his
favor. and this on the ground that in
that case he would he supposed strong
enough to carry several Southern States
aud thus make the chances of u Eopub-
liCan success stronger.
The plan Of campaign developed or
to-day is an undoubtedly
strong one. " evidently means 10 Sc
cure 10 Mr.. Conkling, ut the opening OF
the Cincinnati convention, the votes Of
New York. Pennsylvania. and all. OF
nearly all. Of tho Southern States. The
probably. is To secure all
but Kentucky, which will go to Mr.
and Delaware. which has but
six votes. If this plan il successful
Mr.. Conllling would thus have 33l votes
70 begin with. besides the scattering
votes from other States. aud there
would he little doubt Of his nomination.
