DISPATCHES
The Situation Mt Cincinnti.
CINCINNATI. June Is, 1876


the Spencer (Alabama) delegation is
much criticised as it is we'll known that
quite q number of the delegates are en-
thusiastic Blaine men. The Blaine men
claim its claimed that when the time
comes he will receive majority of that
delegation; while both the Conkling
and Bristow factions claim that it is an
indication that the Blaine ranks are be-
ginning to break. The friends of all
the candidates continue to express
high hopes of the success of their re-
pective favorites, and all are working
hard to win the victory. There is
comparatively quiet to day, and sub
dued enthusiasm. About the various
headquarters there are crowds of dele
gates engaged in canvassing the
chances of candidates, and comparing
notes on the situation.
All Sanguine.
Conkling's friends claim the confidence
of ultimate success, but are very reti-
cent as to the manner of achieving
victory. Morton and Blaine men ex-
press confidence, while Hayes and
Bristow men, in spite of appearances,
that break will occur that will open
up the way for their respective favorite's
nomination. Confident of their success.
the Blaine men seem to be anxious TO
hurry up the business of the conven-
ton, while the friends of the other
candidates seem to be maneuveripg
for delay. They seem to think that
time will weaken Blaine.
Rumored Combination.
There are rumors of various combin-
atoms. but none of them are reliable.
One of these is that Hayes and Blaine
have effected an arrangement by which
Ohio is to give her vote to Blaine on
the second ballot, provided it will
nominate him; Hayes to have the
second place on the ticket. In case
Blaine is not nominated on the third
ballot, his strength is to go to Hayes
fon the first place. Another is that
Bristow and Blaine have arranged to
combine forces, and effect the nomina-
ton of Blaine for President, aud Bris-
tow for Vice President. These are
specimen rum ors, and are given for what
they are worth.
For Vice President
The question of the yicsP President
seems to be exciting more interest to-
day, than at any time before. Among
candidates for the place mentioned are
Hayes, Woodford. Morgan and Wheeler,
of New York; Logan, of Illinois, Bris-
tow. of Kentucky; Cumback. of In
diana; Hartranft, of Pennsylvania;
Harlan. of Kentucky, and Taft of
Ohio. 1t seems to be the impression
that no nomination will be reached
before the third ballot, and possibly
the whole day will be devoted to call
ing the roll of the States.

Interest I'm the Convention
WASHINGTON, June l6. 1876.
The interest in proceedings at Cin-
einnati here is very much increased to-
day. In the House an attempt was
made to transact some general business,
but it soon became apparent thai
though the Republican members were
off in the direction of Cincinnati, and
not in the House, and the general bus
mess was objected to, and the session
was devoted to debate. AS on yes.er
day the members and others eagerly
watched every dispatch from Ciucin-
natl to note the progress of proceed
