The Republican candidates for the
Presidential nomination are certainly not
without hope Of success in November, or
they would not be SO eager to be the
choice at Cincinnati. They are fairly
sklnning each other. A writer who has
observed their actions says: "'The friends
of Blaine and Brisiow are still running
a race to see which shall get the most
delegates. In the meantime Morton's
friends every now and then shout rail
road bonds" at Blaine and "mule claims"
at Bristow, making new explanations
necessary. There is no let up in the
work of trying to kill each other off be-
fore the convention assemblies. The fight
in this direction grows more and more
fierce as the ii me for the assembling at
Cincinnati approaches. Blaine has gone
far towards getting clean bill of char
acter. The cry of border-S State man is
raised against Bristow and an effort is
making to prejudice the colored Repub-
licans of the South against him. These
are all having their effect. While this is
going on Morton is pushing his plans for
securing the support Of the South, and
laboring to prove to the carpet -baggers
and the colored Republicans that their
only salvation in the future is in his
nominrtion aud election. He is making
considerable headway in that direction.
The Impression is gaining ground that
the real contest at Cincinnati is between
Conkling and Morton. Mortsn may find
that he cannot draw sufficient votes from
the other candidates to nominate him.
self, and suddenly transfer his entire
strength to Hayes. or some other man
before Conkling can draw to his support
sufficient to nominate him, and thus
place some person but little thought of
in the field as the standard. bearer.
Conklins may be placed in the same
position and find it necessary to make
Hank movement. Csnkling's friends do
not believe that they will be called upon
to meet that emergency. They are count
ing with a certainty upon Conkling' s
nomination.
