The Situation ut Cincinnati.
The Convention did nothing yester-
day, except prepare for organization
to-day. Mcpherson was chosen perma-
nent Chairman by committee on mo-
tion of MIR. Cormack, of Arizona. This
choice has no special significance. An
offer was made to give Indiana this
position, but the delegation declined,
saying all they wanted in tine conven-
ton was the nomination of Morton.
Platform will include plank express
ing the necessity Of legislation to pro-
tect Pacific Coast from Chinese immi-
CATION. Sargent is here especially to
secure this, with active cooperation of
the California and Territorial delega-
tons. Blaine men are not SO conf
dent. 1t is generally believed that the
full strength will be brought out OF the
first ballot-260 votes. Ii Penusyl-
vauia breaks, fifteen more can be Sc
cured there. Conkling men have
given mp hopes of his nomination.
The effort to concentrate on Hayes
has been SO far unsuccessful. Biistow
men viii probably be firm, bnt cant at
the utmost, after the Blaiae forces
break, get more than 1870. If Biaiue
men break, Horton men claim large
| accessions as second choice. Ken
lucky and Ohio will probably vote for
Morton, if he remains in the field, and
is likely to win. Il is not expected that
more than one ballot can be taken to-
day. The tine VII be consumed with
other business, and speeches.

Hayes Tor vice-P President
Hayes seems to be the choice Of ali
factions for second place, bat bis

Bristow viii not Accept Second

The Kentucky delegation say Bristov
