A CAUCUS among ~
THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES
show few changes in favor OF Conkling.
His friends are coqhetting with Hayes for
second place, and pursuing the snf11e tactics
with Logan's friends for second place. The
friends of Blaine and Conkling are working
with the Pennsylvania delegation for votes
when Hartranft is withdrawn.
IT IS STATED
that the Bristow men from Massachusetts,
will go solid for Blaine when Bristow is out
Of the ring. ~ 1ls7"T
The Pennsyl. :; "a delegation have met
and resolved to stick to Hartranft, and il
this course is persisted in Blaine will be de-

and Rhode Island are for Bristow, and also
Connecticut after Jewell is dropped.

ALECK Mcclure
says that the Pennsylvania delegation have
passed by majority Of A over Don Came
ron the following rule: "First ballot for
Hartraiift; then, if twenty delegates desire
| it, Cameron shall call the delegation for con-
sultation." These al votes, Mcclure SAYS,
are for Blaine.
The Illinois delegation voted: Blaine,
81; Bristow, II; Washburne, 9; absent, 2.
The Now York Delegation.
The New York delegation has taken vote.
George William Curtis and A. A. Low are
for Bristow, and the remainder for Conk-
ling. The endeavor to force the delegation
to vote as unit has failed. There was con-
siderable heat in the consultation.
Blaine's Condition.
The following is sent from Washington
as having been written by Blaine's own
hand:
Eugene Hale, Cincinnati:
am entirely convalescent, suffering only
from physical weakness. Impress upon my
friends the great debt OF gratitude l feel for
the unparalleled steadfastness. with which
they have adhered to me in my hour OF trial.
[Signed] }. &. BLAINE.
The Ex.Spcaker's Prospects.
As soon as breakfast was over this morn
ing the politicians commenced crowding
the Burnett House, Blaine's headquarters.
! The difference of feelings between last night
and this morning was marked. The gen.
eral appearance was that of confidence in
Blaine's nomination on the third or fourth
ballot. They worked assiduously during
! the morning TO unity some OF the important
delegations. The one hammered at the
hardest was the Illinois delegation. MIR.
Logan made
| A STRONG BLAINE SPEECH
to them, saving that the men who sought to
destroy the Union by arms were now en-
deavoring TO kill of the men who saved the
| Union.
Colonel Robert Ingersoll followed in an
appeal for his personal friend, Blaine.
| Blaine was man wounded by the enemy
while fighting for the Republican party, and
| for that party to desert him now would be
an act OF trcachery which would damn the
party forever. The record Of Blaine, he
said. was more dcfensible than that OF the
Republican party.
The result was that two Washhurne men,
who represent Washburne's district, prom
| ised to vote for Blaine, one, however, reserV-
ing the right to vote first for Washblrne
if there was any chance OF his nomination.
! ONE OF THE BRISTOw MEN
also went over on the ground that Blaine
was the preference Of his district, to which
he would yield. The State Qllinois) will
probably vote: Blaine, 40; Bristow, ,. II
it should happen that Blaine is withdrawn
this large delegation will be broken, Bris-
tow getting or S, Morton 10 or IL, Hayes
or s, Wheeler 2, Conkling possibly or 2,
the rest uncertain.
New Hampshire has resolved to vote
solid for Blaine. This and Illinois gives
Blaine foiff additional votes, aud with good
news regarding Baine's health more than
offsets the OBJECTIONS in the New Jersey
and Pennsylvania delegations.
LATER DEVELOPMENTS
| in the PENNSYLVANIA delegation are more ia
vorabe to Blaine He may, with some con-
tidence, count on fOrty-eight after Hartranft
is dropped. Cameron, however, is working
hard for ConkIin@. Negotiations arc going
on all the time between Conkling and Hart
| ranft, but it seems no agreement has been
reached which involves number OF votes.
| Hartranft will have one solid vote.
Whether he will he dropped before the Sc
cond or third ballot will be determined to-
morrow.
During this evening the Blaine men have
| been showing signs Of
SETTLED CONFIDENCE,
| which had an effect on the supporters OF the
other candidates. Notwithstanding the
losses of the day, they claim to have gained
enough in New Hampshire, Illinois, and
| California TO countcrbalance all that, and
give their candidate between 300 and 500
votes on the first ballot. 1t has been decided
| to have no informal ballot.
The Latest.
THE FOLLOWING ESTIMATE
is made out by the Blaine committee, and
they claim to have vigorously eliminated all
the votes which could in any way be con-
sidered doubtful: On the second ballot they
claim Blaine will gain fifty votes from dele
CATIONS outside of Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Then they expect that when that gain Is
seen there will be enough immediate
changes to insure the nomination on that
ballot. They are confident that when Blaine
is so near success there will not he lacking
delegations who will struggle for the honor
OF being first to change for him.
As regards the somewhat
CONTRADICTORY
kilograms concerning Mr.. Blaine's condl-
ton, they explain it by the statements that
the doctors who are attending him are no
mnopathists, and that those from whom the
hlacker reports COME belong to different
medicine, who could not do 30 improves
sional thing as to admit that the diagnosis
of their rivals was correct.
