CINCINNATI. June 12.-The greatest
anxiety has been felt by all parties to-day
concerning the cordition of Mr.. Blaine. A
number Of kilograms have been received all
stating that he was improveing rapidly,
and in day or two would be completely
restored Some parties declare 1t to be
fact that Mr.. Blaine's illness was being used
TO weaken his force, especially to prevent
any sympathy being excited Ia his favor 10
the extent of winning doubtful delegates. A
despatch to the Enp.ircr from Washington,
to the effect that Mr.. Bristow had called
upon Mr.. Blaine in his PROSTATE condition
and was repelled by Mr.. Blaine, caused con
siderable comment. Mr. Frye leader of the
Blaine factions says he dees not believe the
statement is true as there had been no allu-
sion to it in his dispatches and furthermore
heknew Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Bristow were
friendly and always had been.
