the only man they to fear The indianapolis
Journal says the contest Is practically between Morton
and Blaine since there is human probability OF Bris
tow's nomination. very little chance for Conkng and
none for the fsvorite sons" II does not think either

Gov Tilden owes heavy debt of gratitude
to the Ohio iniationiss. In accomplishing the ruin Of
Senator Thurman Presidential candidate they have
removed one OF the Governors most formidable compel
tors, and have left him almost alone In the field Fur
thcrmore they have weakened their influence In the
National Convention since their action gives the Repub
cans the better chance for carrying the State next FALL
This strengthens the claim OF Tdens friends that tho
October States must be given to the RepuDcans, and
that candidate be nominated who can carry New
York, New-Jersey, and Connecticut On the other hand
the absurd platform will njure the whole Democratic
PARTY thus of render victory with any can

Both the Blaine and Bristow factions are
doing generous business claiming delegates In Sias
sachusetts The Bristow organs started out with the
claim that all the delegates would b. for their man. and
they sticking in spite Of notorious evidence

The Blaine organs qute foolish but they are
evidently claiming full many delegates as they have
any reason to believe their side In all proba
bty the truth will be pretty nearly reached by dividing
the delegates chosen between the two men, giving
small majority TO Bristow. The Boston TrareIie which
fayoTs Mr. Blaine, says: More than haf or the dele
gates already elected known to favor r Blame as
their first choice and II the work were 10 be done over
again the anti Blaine delegates o TINS state could DO

pensation for the crimes they have committed As for
this attempt to stir up the Old feeling acting fayora
by 10 Grants strength Mr. Weed said Grant, Poohl
Nothing can be an element Of strength for Grant He
an impossbility Why hear 1t said that In event Of
failure Mr. Conkng proposes to transfer his strength
and influence in the Convention TO Grant and that Nor
