Arrival of Representatives
Hale and Frye.

Cincinnati, June 10. Last night the trains
brought large accessions of delegates and news
paper representative who are actively engaged in
discussing the situation. Judge Martindale,
Generals Tynell and Spooner of Indianapolis, are
among the arrivals and announce that the
friends of Morton have strong hopes of his nomin-
alton. They say Indiana delegates have no sec
ond choice, but will adhere to their favorite to
the end and declare that the statement published
that the question of second choice had been con-
sdered, is premature. There is friendly feeling
between the friends of Morton and Brstow, which
is greatly strengthened by the declaration of
prominent kentuckIans that their second choice is
Morton. Gen. auckland, Edwin Cowes, Maj.
w. ID. Buckham and others of the delegation have
arrived and the policy of Ohio of no attack on
any candidate, and steady adherance to Hayes,
shows to be successful in the end Bristow's
supporters are engaged in making friends. They
understand his chance will be increased if Blaine
is out of the way.
"But what is the Blaine programme :" is the
question asked on every hand. "What will Hi
nois do :" is also asked with equal anxiety. "If
there is break in her delegation, Blaine is beat

While there are many who regard Conkling as

New York, June 10.
The Cincinnati special to the New York Trib-
une says: Only one prominent Blaine represent
alive has arrived-John l.. Stevens of Augusta,
Me-, who has been spending some days in Wash
ington. He came here last night. congressman
Hale and Frye are expected to morrow night or
Sunday morning, when the majority OF the Maine
delegates will also arrive. OF course no actual
work for Mr.. Blaine has vet been done here, but
the reports from Washington are watched with
interest that shows no actual disposition to
count him out of the contest, whatever the friends
of other candidates may say about. have made
careful inquiries to learn, if possible what signs
of wavering are to be discoveaed among the dele
gates known to be favorable to Blaine but have
heard of none. A few Of the Illinois delegates
who are here say that nothing which has occurred
has shaken the Blaine line in that State in the
least. Similar reports are received from other
directions. Some of the advocates of MIR. Bris-
tow's nomination with whom have talked, admit
this fact and are somewhat discouraged about it.
One of them, who is very shrewd observer, SAID
to. day that it seemed to him that Mr., Blaines
fight for the nomination closed on Monday, when
the House adjourned and the report OF the pro-
ccedings went to the country. BY that days
work he gave confidence to those of his support
ers who were wayerlng, and klndled tue entha-
slasm of those who had always stood by him;
and, the gentleman added, it will be impossible to
arrest the attention of the people by any new
scandals or any new Investigations. He thought,
therefore, that Mr.. Blaine would receive more
than 800 votes on the first ballot, and that there
is danger, looking at it from his point of view.

he continued; land suppose that after the roll
has been called through, Djamin Wade should
change the vote of the remainder, or OF the most
of them from Gov HAYES TO Mr. Blaine, what
could prevent his nomination :" That the wish
was not father to the thought was shown by sub
sequent remarks. In continuing the conversation
the gentleman said he feared that the party of
great moral ideas is on the down grade; he had

terest of genuine reform, but it cannot be done
with Mr. Blaine as its standard bearer.
In an interview with Herald correspondent
last night Blame is reported to have SAID that
there is not the slightest foundation for the rumor
that he is going to transfer his strength after the
first ballot if he should prove unsuccessful. either
to Hayes or Morton. He denies the truth OF the
statement that he is going to make amcabie terms
with Conkling in the interest of the republican
party, with the understanding that he should have
the nomination for the presidency next time. lie
remarked that the report that he was gong to
Cincinnati to look after his own interests, was
maliciously false, and he never had any idea OF
doing such a foolish thing.

The rumor that Blaine will be here next week
is author itatively denied. Every moment the de-
velopments seem to indicate that the struggle
next week will be very obstinate. 1t is not proba
BILE that the balloting will dominance before
Thursday and perhaps not till Friday.
In an interview with W. p. Frye, he denies en-
phatically that Blaine would withdraw his name
as candidate or that after first ballot he would
name a candidate who should succeed.
The friends of Blaine claim that because the
democrats believe him to be most dangerous to
their party they have subjected him to the ordeal
