at fever heat. though but little acri-

After a careful review Of the ground,
il is certain that Blaine's nomination
will occur not later than the third bal
I lot, and almost certainly on the Sec
ond. He is constantly gaining
strength in consequence of the assaults
upon him. His sickness, the result of
/ mental strain under the attacks, ex-
cites much sympathy, turning luke
warm into ardent supporters.
Blaine's friends to-day count over
three hundred votes on the first ballot.
sure, regardless of Pennsylvania,
which it is now understood gives him
a united vote on the second.
New York will cast twenty votes
against Conkling ON the second or
third ballot. giving him bat two Oh
the first.
Hayes is nearly certain to be uomi-
mated for vice president with Blaine.
Bristow may get one hundred votes
at the first, with no promise OF
growth.
Theodore NJ. Pomeroy, OF New
York, is settled upon for temporary
chairman. Pomeroy will probably be
New 1Ofk's GepuDlicau nominee iof
governor this fall.
Had Blaine failed, VIM. A. Wheeler
would have been brought forward for
president after Conkling's withdrawal.
His friends will now press him for
speaker of the next Congress.
There's victory in the air over
there" said a delegate pointing to the
Blaine headquarters ut the Burnet
House this morning, ana that opinion
is.now freely expressed on all hands.
Blaine undoubtedly remains the can-
didate with the largest following, and
without cooperation on the part of
other candidates his nomination on an
early ballot is imminent. This is the
prevailing sentiment.
On the other hand, Governor Noyes,
chairman Of the Ohio delegation,
points as favorably to Hayes.
The meeting of the Pennsylvania
delegation this morning was a stormy
one, but it resulted In the adoption of
a resolution to stick to Hartranft. If
that Is done through several ballots
Blaine will be defeated. as he must
win, If at all, OH 1.-THE second formal bal
lot. 1t is ascertained that there are
sixteen men in the Pennsylvania dele
CATION who are anxious To go TO
Blaine.
Don Cameron has promised the In
diana delegation forty votes for Nor
ton, after Hartranft.
Other Candidates Working Hard.
The New Workers paraded the streets
this morning, with a band and BAN
ners for ConkIing. Little is being
said for the New York candidate.
Earnest work is being done for Bris-
tow. Massachusetts still stands 20 for

and Rhode Island are for Bristow,
and Connecticut, after Jewell is
dropped. The vote in the Michigan
delegation stands, Bristow II, Blaine

Alex Mcclure says the action OF the
Pennsylvania delegation was this A
resolution was passed over Don Came
ron by Il majority of A, to the effect
that the delegation will vote for Hart
ranft on the first ballot; then, If 20
delegates ask for a consultation, Came
ron shall call it and the delegates shall
be free to vote as they please. These
A votes are by Blaine men.
The Illinois delegation held its
meeting at noon. "A ballot was taken,
resulting in Blaine "a. Bristow 4,
made by Senator Logan and Colonel
Ingersoll in favor of unity and a solid
vote. The result was that two Wash
burn men and of the Bristow
men experienced a change Of heart
and agreed to support Blaine. The
two absentees are for him, which will
give him SO votes.
A Co%rToboratiue Telegram.
Congressman Wallace, of Pennsyl-
vania, received the following telegram
ut 3 o'clock this afternoon, from Hon.
Ii. w. Blair, now at Cincinnati:
"Pennsylvania will go solid for
Blaine on the first or second ballot.
His nomination is most probable"
Later and Better.
The assuring kilograms from WASH
ington regarding Blaine's health at
tract interested crowds To the bulle-
tins. One tonight from Blaine him
self, announcing his entire GONZALES
cence and thanking his friends for
their remarkable consistency in his hour
of trial strengthens the few who wav
cred in the fear that he was PHYSICALLY
disabled for future usefulness. The
general conviction among c%orrespon-
dents comedies Blaine's nomination,
if there be no change for the worse in
his health.
Test votes indicate that Pennsylva-
MIA will give Blaine 40 out OF 5S votes,
and Blaine's friends claim more. Don
Cameron is, however, working hard
for Conkling, and, though no agree
ment seems to have beer arrived at,
he will doubtless have some influence
on the vote whenever 1t is transferred
from Hartranft.
LATEB.-It is determined to have
no informal ballot, as that would un-
necessarily consume time.
Blaine's friends now claim that
after a most careful counting, leaving
out all doubtful votes, Blaine will have
on the first ballot 300 to 500; on the
second he will gain so from delega-
tons outside of Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia. Then they expect when that
jump is seen, there will be enough inn
mediate changes to insure his nominal
ton On the third ballot.
They are confident that when Blaine
Is so near success there will not be
lacking delegations who will struggle
for the honor of being first 10 change

Blaine is to be put in nomination by
Col. Ingersoll, and Blaine's friends be-
