Matt. Carpenter, and Governor. Saepherd.
Several Others came in from Washington.
The last three earnestly oppose the rpnlina-
ton OF BristoEy while the others nanysd- ex-
cept Farwel, are for Bristow. FarvsIT Is
advocating the nomination OF WILLIAMS A.
Wheeler, and says several others OF the EIli-
nois delegation WIFI go with him. He urges
this nominationas o compromise.
The contest between the friends OF Blaiire,
and Conkling, mud Bristow is fierce, and
threatens to become unreconcilable; while
between the friends OF Bristow, and Nor
tom, and Hayes thera is the greatest cor
diasty, and an agreement that with the
nomination OF either the others will be salts
| fed. The Conkline men are very busy
scheming, and count ON winning through
combinations. They are offering the second
place to the friends OF Hayes, but the latter
refuse to take the bait
There was great excitement in the city
upom the receipt Of the news OF Blaine's
illness, and speculation is rife as to where
his strength will goin case his illness proves
serious.
CINCINNATI, June 12.-Blaine's sickness
has caused great anxiety, and appears to
have worked against hfm in winning doubt
full delegates to his support. There seems
no break in the original strength OF the
several parties, or change in the figures for
the first ballot, or progress in combinations.

The Excitement In Washington.
Especial telegram to the DIspatchI
WASHINGTON, June 12-llidnight.- Spec
ulation is becoming wild over the probable
results Of the Cincinnati Convention. Sere-
raj dispatches from that city to-day assert
that much depends upon the condition
of Mr.. Blaine's health on the day OF the
meeting Of the Convention. Conkling'S
friends believe that IL there appears the
slightest doubt OF Dir. Blaine's complete re-
coyerv from his present condition their
man will come in winner on the second or
third vote.
Tonight the burden OF opinion is that the
great unknown is not so much OF bug
bear, and that the nominee will be one Of
the candidates who has been all along promi-
nently mentioned.
! The Conkling men are confident OF start
inc in with between 100 and 10 votes. Nor
toms men are working like beavers, and, as
well as the Conkling adherents, consider that
with Blaine out of the contest they will find
considerable accession OF strength, while
the lively Bristow element in no respect
finds its ardor dampened. The friends Of
Blaine and Conkling are reported to be
harmonizing. Many Conkling men say
Blaine is their second choice, and Uice ccrSa
1t is everywhere admitted at this time that
it is impossible to forecast anything reliable
as TO the definite results of the Convention.
The naming OF Blaine as a candidate before
the Convention Of course is predetermined.
The serious misfortune that has overtaken
him will assuredly work to his political dis
advantage unless by "Wednesday signs OF
complete recovery are absolute and sure,

Speculations nj Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, June II. The Morton men
are starting out with the assumption that
Blaine will not recover in time to secure in
the Convention the vote he otherwise
would. even il he was presented there at
all. They are in much better spirits to-day
than Yesterday, claiming that the danger
OF the defeat of their candidate has less
ened, and that what danger he has to fear
comes from new source, not, rs yesterday,
from COnkling, but from Hayes. They
assert that the efforts made by the Conkllng
men to secure southern votes, that being
supposed the most vulnerable quarter, have
failed, and that delegates from that section,
colored and white, remain as yet faithful TO
those whom theEwere pledged to sup
port The chief reliance OF Morton Is Ill
accession, which it is believed will come to
him from the Blaine men from the North
west and Northeast should it be found that
the latter could not be nominated. 1t
is claimed that third OF 1ndiana's vote,
q norton OF NVisconsin's, 4 share OF Michi-
ran's, fraction OF Illinois. and 4 pretty full
Vote from Maine will go for Morton when
Blajne drops out The number TO be thus
