ON THE EVE OF BATTLE.


Conceded 16O Votes on the First
Misunderstanding on Blaine's
Dropping 0ut---Hayes Gaining
Rapidly---Frlends of Morton and
Conkling Hopeful.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 10
Little beyond speculation ia possible
here, there is such diversity of opinion
and delegates are 30 mixed that it is useless
to predict results farther than to express
the opinion that Blsines illness has put
him out of the race. Up to yesterday he
was formidable candidate, and Conkling's
friends may well have feared the first bal
lot. What is Mr.. Blaine's misfortune
seems to be Mr.. Conklng's promise.
Blaine's friends and Blaine himself know
that the charge that Conkling instigated
the attack upon the ex-speaker is false, and
there is less of luminosity between the sup
porters of Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Conklng
than might have been expected. They are
coming to better understanding, and
while Mr., Conkling has been gaining ever
since the clans began TO gather, his pros
poets never have been so good as now,
Bristow will not benefit 80 largely as was
expected from the elimination of Blaine
from the strugels, The New York delega-
| ton is now in session determining its fu-
tnre action. The report of Blaincs illness
gives rise TO much sorrow and soicitude.
The weather 10 intensely hot.
ENTHUSIASM FOR CoNKLNa
NEw York. June ~
The Times Cincinnati special gays the
most marked feature OF the past few days
is the fight before the convention. All the
hotels ere filed with New York men and
seems almost as if they had captured the
city and were occupying it to the exclu-
sion of other states. Among them the
Conkling men are largely in the majority.
About 800 of them, each labeled with
blue badge bearing the name of Conkling,
form procession, headed by brass band,
and make periodical trips from one hotel
to another, shouting for their candidate.
In addition to these rank and file, a large
number of prominent New Workers are
equally active. but more quietly, working
for Conkling. Among them A. b. Cornell,
Charles L. Smith, of the Albany Journal,
Charles E. Fitch, of the Rochester Demo-
Graf, Senator Tobey, Police Commissioner
Wheeler, District Attorney Bliss, John l.
Davenport, and Collector Daniels of Buff
falo.
A CONSULTATION.
Ellis IL. Roberts and George William
Curtis we're reported In conference with
John NJ. Harlan, of Kentucky, and other
friends of Brstow. Curtis and Roberts
have not yet publicly expressed prefer
cnce for any candidate, but speeches are
expected from them in opposition to Conk-
ling.
BLAINE's FRIENDS HOPEFUL.
Mr. Blaine's friends's fears have been
dissipated by the reports from Washington.
John L. Stevens, of Augusta, Mr.. Blaines
former partner, says be has known him to
be similarly Frustrated after excessive la
Dor and great mental STRAIN, but that he
was always quick to recover. The reports
Of the hostility of Mr.. Brstow to Mr..
Blaine are false. Their friendly relations
remain unclouded.
HAYES AND MORTON.
The Hayes men intimate that they have
assurance of large re-inforcements from the
Blaine ranks. Gov. Morton has at least
five hundred energetic workers here from
Indiana, and they have their headquarters
decorated with flags, at the Burnett house,
the Gibson house and the Grand Central
hotel.
BRIsTow AND HIS CHANCES
Mr.. Bristows friends are IN high spirits,
this morning, and their list of delegates
who will vote for the gallant Kentuckisn
on the first ballot is securing constant ac-
cessons A story that Mr.. Bristow, if
elected president would sanction the pay
ment of the southern war claims almost
| without limit is untrue.
THE ooNKLIN0 MEN
continue to keep their counsels and to
work indefatigably. George:William Cur
It's is here, the only New York delegate
opposed to Conkling and earnest in his ad-
vocacy of civil service reform. Michigan
is the only state which has thus far shown
any detection from Blaine. At least six
| delegates FROM that state who were origin
ally for Mr. Blaine have come out for Bris-
tow.
HOW THE DELEGATES FEEL.
| The Times correspon dent says the New
England delegations as they stood yester-
day footed up only 81 ifor Blaine and the
remainder for Bristow. In the Pennsyl-
vania delegation the Instructions are TO
vote as a unit for Hartranft as long as he
ia candidate, but there is strong feeling
among them for Blaine which will assert
itself if an attempt is made to turn them
over to Conkling. The Kentucky friends
OF Bristow ere cheerful, ara .o~at for him
the following New Hampshire, votes ;
Massachusetts, 1S ; Rhode Island, 4; YER
mont, 0; Connecticut, 8; Illinois, 81;
Kentucky, "a Michigan, Q; Wisconsin,
p and Tennessee, II. These make total
of 80, which is only a portion of the
strength claimed for him on the second
ballot, for his friends declare.that they are
sure of at least so more in the southern
statee, making total of about 100. The
