While the streets arc full Of the music Of deafening
brass bands and tho hotels crowded with people,
whose anxiety aud excitement perccptiby ncrcas
ing the leading politicians closced In secret con-
rences, discussing the situation aud dov,sng POSI-
bio aud impossible combinations Blaine Is
acknowledged DO strong that the natural impulse
OF all his opponents is TO unto against him. but their
interests are ali SO singularly opposed shst alliance
which shall sacrifice the other Of tho allies
Is difficult The Bristow men, take them arst,
cannot, therefore, help neither, they expect
help from Conkling against Blaine. They havo
boon ready It Is said, TO combine with Morton, but
in this alliance as both are Western men, tho
other must lose Nor thcy moro happily situated
In regard to Hayes Their problem To- therefore, 70
defeat both Conklng and Blaine, and TO get Eastern

The Morton men no moro happily situated.
They cannot lend their forces Conkng. They can
not combine with either Hayes Brstow because oil
are Western men. AS to Mr.. Conkling no Is the
phynx of the His supporters are not anxious
70 make alliances they keep their secrets with the
utmost care and they profess themselves Of Mr..
Conklng's nomination If Mr.. Blaine Is nominat ted
on the second ballot or course the Blaine position
attacked from all sides, Is necessarily insecure; but
there arc rumors Of Blaine alliances which are to
gunrd against emergencies and OF allies, who do not
mean to appear unless they victory falling on
some other man. and who will then turn to Blaine no,
because they want him, but because they
prefer him to somebody else. Such allies are
dangerous because they may delay too long
| Meantime the device Of pcrsuading or influencing
d1egatss desert temporarily from one candidate
another also compromises looking to hold back thu
vote OF some delegations, being tried. and such
plots these may seriously embarrass the calculations
OF several candidates. Under these circumstances nc
result can be forcseen this evening Blaine may fail
and Conkling may sweep in o sudden tide m
entirely new namo may turn up; or Hayes may rwceI
the Convention. The dark horse has still chance.
