The National Convention.


CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 14th. The
Commercial this morning comedies
the nomination of Blaine, 1t however
gives him but 263 votes on the first
ballot, and estimates Conkling so,
Bristow 118, Morton l40, Hayes 48,
Hartranft So, Jewell 10, Washburne 3,
Chandler l, Gaeat Unknown l.
The detection in the Pennsylvania
delegation is more serious than indi-
Gated yesterday. Cameron's leader
ship is renounced and there are A
votes for Blaine when they will do
him any good.
The most significant thing this
morning is the Commercials report of
the interview with Jos Medill of Chi
cago Tribune. Medill sets out with
saying that things are rapidly shap-
ing to secure Blaine,s nomination be-
yond peradventure, the reason given
is that his opponents cannot unite
their strength and have no disposition
to concentrate. They are repellant
and cut each others throats and
Blaine he asserts will get fully 300
votes on first ballot which will in
crease to majority on the 4th or 5th.
Mr.. MedilI carefully compares the
situation with that when Lincoln was
nominated in 1850. The New York
delegates have Conkling on the brain.
The Hoosiers come to die with Morton
The Pennsylvania men can nominate
Blaine on any ballot and they are
likely to do it on the Sd or 4th ba Hot
at the latest.
AS to Blaine's prospects if nomin-
ated Medill is hopeful, he not o My
counts on the Democrats doing some
thing impolitic to help him but he
has positive strength, he has csptivat-
ing qualities is bold chivalrOus an d
dramatic, he draws men to him by
his magnetism, he is second Henry
Clay. Should he recover and take the
stump and visit so cities and personal
ly command forces in Ohio and Indi-
ana for the October campaign he
would sweep the country.
The Convention assemblies at ii o.
clock this morning. Very many
think the vote will be forced to-day,
assuring Blaine's success.
The streets are full of bands and pro-
cessions headed for the exposition
building. Theodore M. Pomeroy, of
New York will be temporary chair
man. Stanly Mathews of Cincinnati,
was proposed but he is Bristow man.
Omeroy is for Conkling.

candidates is as follows: Blaine, 302;

scattering, III. Total, 756.
Excitement was maintained during
the night, and each new arrival of
delegates or spectators was greeted
with enthusiastic demonstrations of
welcome, cheers and other noisy ex-
pressions of their respective partisans.
Serenades We're the order of the night
and until nearly dawn the air was
filled with the strains of music and
the voice of the orator.
Every train that reached the city
during the night and forenoon brought
its complement of delegates and spec
tators, anil to-day the throng is i'm
mense. The convention meets at noon,
but nothing, 1t is thought, will be ef-
fected to-day. The air is rife with ru-
mors of combinations for or against
this or that candidate, but up to this
time all is conjecture. Blaine, Nor
ton, Brlstow and Conkling, in the or
der named, continue to lead.
LATEST: sT:-CINCINNATI, June 14th.-
Hon. Theo M. Pomeroy of New York,
is elected temporary chairman of the
Convention and Is now addressing it.
The Cincinnati Convention.
CINCINNATI, June 13th.-The Re-
publican Convention has assembled
toe very largest and most excited
crowd that ever congregated here.
Everything Is at fever heat. But lit
tie bad temper and general good ma
ture. After a careful view of the
ground all are satisfied that Blaine's
nomination will not be later than the
third ballot and almost certainly on
the second. Blaine is constantly
gaining strength in consequence of
the assaults upon him. His sickness
is the result of a mental strain under
the attack, which excites much SYM
pathy. turning lukewarm into ardent
supporters. Blaine's friends to-day
count on 800 votes on the first ballot
sure, not counting Pennsylvania,
which, it is now understood, gives
him united vote on the second bal
lot. New York will cast 20 votes
against Conkling on the second or
third ballot, giving him all but two
on the first. Hayes is certain of being
nominated for Vice-President with
