VICTORY IN THE AIR.

Afternoon Report
VICTORY IN THE AIR.
CINCINNATI, D., June l3.-"There is vic
tory in the air over there" said a delegate,
pointing to the Blaine headquarters at the
Burnett House, this morning, and that
opinion is now freely expressed on all
hands. Blaine undoubtedly remains the
candidate with the largest following, and
without cooperation on the part OF other
candidates, his nomination on an early
ballot is imminent. This is the prevailing
sentiment. Ga the other hand, Gov. Moves,
Of the Ohio delegation, points to the action
Of the Pennsylvania delegation this MORN
ing. Their meeting was a stormy one, but it
resulted in adopting a resolution to stick TO
Hariranit; if that is done through several
ballots, Blaine will be defeated, as he must
win ii at all on the second formal ballot
1t IL ascsrtained that there are 10 men in
the Pennsylvania delegation who are anx-
ious to go to Blaine. Don Cameron has
promised the lnd ana delegation forty votes
for Morton after Hartranft. Ii there shall
be any after this, amounts to but little per-
haps. In view of other promises the New
AoihCiS Tue sLICCts X,
with band and banners, for Conklipg. Lit
tie is being said for the New YORK candi-
date. Earnest work is being done for B.is-
tow.
Massachutts still stands 20 for Bristow
and s for Blaine.
Vermont and Rhode Island are for
Bristow, and also Connecticut, after Jewell
is dropped. The vote in the Michigan del
egation stands : Bristow, IL; Blaine, g;
Hayes, 3; Chandler, ].
LATER-Alex Mcclure says the action of
the Pennsylvania delegation was that this
resolution was passed over Don Cameron
by a majority Of "A, to this effect: That
the delegation will vote for Hantranft at
the first ballot; then, if ~ delegates ask
for . consultation, Cameron shall call it,
and the delegates shall be free TO vote As
they please. These "A votes are by Blaine
men.
AGUN FOR BLAINE.
LATER-The Illinois delegation held Its
meeting at noon, when q ballot was taken
with this result: Blaine, "a; Bristow, 4 !;
Washburne, 2. Speeches were made by
Senator Logan and Col. Ingersoll in favor
of unity and a solid vote. The result was
TIC tWO v d<HuuIHc ucu anu Ouc vi
the BristOw men experienced a change OF
heart Ind agreed to support Blaine. The
two absentees are for him, which will give
him 80 votes. The Burnett House is filled
with bands and glee clubs making music
for Blaine.
Morning Report.
BUSY AS BEES.
CINCINNATI, June l3.-As soon as break
fast was over this morning the, politicians
from other hotels began crowding the halls
Of the Burnet house, which has been from
the start, the headquarters of Blaine's
friends. The difference in their feelings be-
tween last night and this morning was
marked, and their words were similsr, but
their cUuntenances were changed and there
was a general assurance in the nomination
of Blaine on the third or fourth ballot In
order that the work might be accompanied
with faith they labored sssiduously during
the morning hours in trying to unity some
Of the more important delegations.
ENTHUSIASTIC FOR BLAINE.
1t is now considered almost certain that
the Illinois delegation will vote 40 for
Blaine and for bristow.
The receipt Of dispatches with encourage
ing reports Of Blaine's health more than
counterbalanced the reports of defections
in the Pennsy lvania and New jersey dele
cations.
The report in regard to Pennsylvania was
that after its delegation had concluded to
drop Hartranft they would go over to
Cookli-g, almost in body. The facts,
however, do not seem to bear out the story.
The various votes on side-issue-, taken at
the meeting Of the delegation this morning,
indicate that Blaine may, with some conf
dence, count on 40 out of the SO, and some
of Blalne's friends go 40 far as to
claim more than 40, but there is no ques-
ton but that Cameron is working hard for
Conkling, and it would be going too far to
say that he has no influence in the delega- |
ton. There are negotiations going on all /
the time between Conkling and Hartranft |
men, but there does not seem to have been |
any agreement arrived at, which involves
any great number OF votes. During this |
evening, the Blaine men have been shosing
signals of settled confidence, which has had |
an effect on the supporters OF the other
candidates. 1t has been decided to have no /
informal ballot. The Blaine men claim
between 290 and 300 votes on the first bal
lot. This estimate is made cut by the
Blaine committee, and they claim that
they have not counted the doubtful
votes. On the second ballot they claim
that Blaine will gain % from the delega-
lions outside of Ohio or Pennsy lvania
then, they expect that when the jump is
made, there will be enough immediate
changes to insure his nomination ON
that ballot,
As regards the some what contradictory
kilograms concerning Blaine's condition,
hey explain it by stating that the doc
ors who are attending him are homeopath-
C, and these from whom the blacker re-
,or;s come are Of different school of med
cine.
Blaine is to be put in nomin ation. by
Jol. Ingersoll, and the friends Of the former
rave great hopes In the fervid flood Of
ratory which the Col. will pour forth,
hat the more susceptible delegates will moi
e able to resist his appeal. Ii it should
seems unlikely-that any .
ttack is made in the convention upon
'laine's record, Ingersoll is to respond to il,
nd carry the war into Africa, il need be.
he Conkling men are as quiet and undem-
nstrstive to-day a. they were yesterday,
ut experienced politicians among them
ave not been wasting their time, and there |
re rumors that they have been using
,oney, and not in vain but such transac
ions are not carried on In daylight, and can
e verified only when the voting actually
egins in the convention. Conklings :
lends are busy, saying that what :
hey call Morton's collapse, only indicates '
rat the fight in the convention will he !.
etween Blaine and Conkling, and that Of =
,ese two the latter is the only one who can
,rry New York State. But this reasoning
oes not seem to have any impression upon
single delegate. 4
Secretary Bristow's friends preserve an !
,broken front, and although there has i
en- persistent effort from all sides to c
nvince them that their case was hopeless, .
ey remain mistaken, and are even acting q
J the aggressive. Up to the present time :,
is believed that the Bristow men have =
ut aloof from anything like al
inference with the friends OF other =
ndida,es, bus late tonight, or early
morrow there will be consultation OF
e Conkling, Rristow and Morton lie aders
see il they cannot agree TO unite upon
ayes, unless it becomes apparent that
aines defeat can be accomplished in some
her way.
The depression felt among the supporters
Morton, Conkling, etc, is not extended .
