Blaine is to be put in nomination by
Col. Ingersol, friend Of the former.
Great hopes are entertained from the fer.
yid flood OF oratory which the Colonel
will pour forth. 1t is believed by the
Blaine delegates that it will be difficult
for the more susceptible delegates to re-
sist his eloQuepce. II il should happen

As Blaine went up Morton naturally
went down. The claims made yesterday
we're repeated to-day, but the air OF con-
fidence with which they had been asserted
had disappeared. The faces said one
thing and the lips another, and the hopes
entertained Of gains from Blaine in the
Northwest and Northeast vanished when
it BECAME apparent that Blaine had no
intention Of getting out Of the way. They
claim to-day for the first or second ballot
only the delegation from Indiana and
the votes conceded TO them from
the South, asserting however that il
Blaine should be out Of the question
then they will jump at once from 20 odd
votes up to 40. Outside however they
claim over 200 votes on the third ballot
and the nomination certain. The Conk-
ling men are as quiet to-day as they were
yesterday, but Inexperienced politicians
among them have not been wasting time.
There are rumors that they have been
raising money and not in vain, but such
transactions are not carried out in day
light and can be verified only when the
voting actually begins in the Convention.
Until then they cannot be said to be true.
Mr.. Conkling's friends are busy, say
ing that what they call The Morton col
lapse only indicates that the fight in the
convention will be between Blaine and
the Senator from New York, and that Of
the two the latter is the only one who
can carry the Empire State. But this
reasoning does not seem to have made
any impression on single delegate. Some
OF them still pin their hopes on the sue
cess OF Cameron's labors with the Penn
sylyanians, but the general feeling is not
one of buoyancy.
Secretary Bristow's friends preserve an
unbroken front, and although there has
been persistent efforts from all sides to
convince them that their case is hopeless,
they remain unshaken, and are even act.

kept aloof fuom anything resembling

OF the Conkling, Bristow and Morton
leaders to sec il they can't agree to unite
