CINCINNATI, June 13.-"There is VIC
tory in the air over there" said a dele
gate, pointing to the Blaine headquar-
ters at the Burnett house, this morning,
and that opinion is now freely expressed
on all hands.
aine undoubtedly remains the can"
diuste with the largest follower, and
without cooperation on the part Of other
candidates, his nomination on an esrly
ballot is imminent. This Is the prevail
ing sentiment.
On the other hand, Governor Noyes,
chairman OF the Ohio delegation, points
as favorably to Hayes.
The action of the Pennsylvania dele
CATION this morning at their meeting
was stormy one, but it resulted in the
adoption of q resolution to stick to
HartTanft. II that is done through sew
eral ballots, Blaine will be defeated, as
he must win, il at all, ON the second for
nal ballot. 1t is sscertsined that there
are sixteen men in the Pennsylvania
delegation who are anxious to sgo to
Blaine. H-. ~
Don Cameron has promised the In.
diana delegation forty votes for Morton
after HartrRnft, if there shall be any af-
ter. This amounts TO little, perhaps,
in view of other promises.
The New Workers psraded the streets
this morning with band, and banners
for ConkIiDg Little is being said for
the New York candidate. Earnest work
is being done for Bristow.
Massachusetts, still stands twenty for
BristCw and six for Blaine
Vermont and Rhode Island are for
Bris5ow, and Connecticut, after Jewell
is dropped.
The vote in the Michigan delegation
stands: Brislow, IL; Blaine, 6; Hayes
3; Chamberlain, l.
LATER.
Alex Mcclure says the action OF the
Pennsylvania delegation was that this
resolution was passed over Don Cam
eron by msjority of forty-four to this
effect, that the delegation will vote for
Hartranft on the first ballot; then il
twenty delegates ask for consultation,
Cameron shall call it, and the delegates
shall be free to vote as they please.
These forty-four votes are by Blaine
men. E
The Illinois delegation held its meet
ing at noon. A ballot was taken, re-
sulting: Blaine, "a; Bristow, 4; WASH
burne, 2; absent, 2. Speeches were
made by Senator Logan and Colonel In
gersoll IN favor Of unity, and the result
was that the two Wsshburne men and
one Of the Bristow men experienced q
change of heart and agreed to support
Blaine. The two absentees are for hin,
which will give him thirty-nine votes.
The Burnett is filled with bands, and
the glee clubs are making music for
Blaine.
AT THE BLAINE HEADQUARTERS.
As soon as breakfast was over this
morning, politicians from other hotels
began cTowdiDg the halls of the Burnett
house, which has been from the start the
hesdquarters of Blaine's fTiends. A diff
ference in their feelings between last
night and this morning was marked :
their words were similar, but their faces
were changed. There was 8 general as
surance Of confidence in the nomination
Of Blaine on the third or fourth ballot.
In order that their works might accom-
pany their faith, they lsbored zealously
burning the morning hours In trying to
unity some of the important delega-
tions. one of which that was hammered
at the hardest was Illinois. After the
delegates had completed the formal bus
mess for which they had been called to-
gether, they took

satisfactory, Senator Logan made 3
speech, in which, after denying any Gt-
tempt on his part TO c0erce any dele
getes, and stating that he favored Blaine
since he was the choice of the people OF
Illinois, he urged the delegates to give
their weight TO their action by making it
harmonious and uniform; the men who
had sought to destros the union by force
OF arms were now united to kill off the
men who had saved that Union. He
was followed by Colonel Robert Inger-
soil, of Peoria, who made an eloquent
and effective appeal in behalf OF his
personal friend, Mr.. Blaine. He took
the position which others are assuming,
that MIR. Blaine .wss the man
WOUNDED BY THE ENEMY
while in the service of the Republican
party, and for that party to desert him
now would be an act of treachery which
would damn it forever. The record Of
Blaine was more defensible than that Of
the republican party. Mr.. Blaine had
fully Vindicated his record, and the par
ty would have no burden to bear with
him as its candidate.
The result of an eloquent and good
natured plea, which made all laugh and
many applaud, was that OF the two
WashbuTne men who represent Wash
burne's old congressional district, prom
issd to vote for Blaine, one, however,
ressrvlpg the right to vote for Wash
burne If he saw any chance
OF his election. One OF the
Bristow men also went over
on the ground that there was prt fer
ence for Blaine IN his district to which
he would yield. The three others are as
vet sLeadfsst. But one alternate Will
