AL the Speakers agreed that Bristow is
the only Republican who can be elected
if nominated, as he is the only man who
has proved himself capable of coping with
the wide spred corruption in public places,
and of placing the civil service on lair
and sousder basis The points were
we'll received by the audience,
who cheered every allusioR TO Brlstow's
record and character. The speakers
were cheerful and sanguine in the success
of their can didate. No resolutions OF con-
tidence were submitted 10 the meeting,
but judging from the enthusiasm dis
played, such resolution could have been
carried by scclamation.
Tennessee Delegation.
The Tennessee delegation did not hold
meeting until this evening. "ree
different times an effort WAS made TO
have ballot for President, and thrice it
failed. Its sscertained, however, that
there will be ~ or IL votes for Bristow,
about as many for Morton, and the re
mainder, not very large number, Ter
Blaine.
The Michigan delegation held an ln-
formal meeting, at which they half re-
solved that since they could not unite on
frs; choice they would on second.

whom they could thus agree would bs
Hayes.

4 FIueer.
There was futter among the Bristow
men this evening, on account of the
rumored detection of Judge lockwood
Hoar, and the statement that the Ken
tuckv delegation, when it went TO call on
the Massachusetts men, was snubbed by
them and not treated with proper .cour-
tesy and that the Kentuckians decline to
bow down the knee 10 the Bay State
man any-longer. The fact appears to be
that the Keotucklsns did make call.
and were rea;ed with due courtesy, but
that Judge Hoar announced his inten-
ton of going either for Blaine or Ham
ilton Fish, for which he is roundly de-
nounced by the same impetuous Bristow
men. who At once said that all hope was
gone.
Judge Hoar having gone to BID de-
clined to be interviewed concerning hIs
position. Prominent men Of the Ken
lucky delegation are confident that Mas
sschusetts will stand by them n the e1-
tent Of sixteen votes and perhaps one or
two more.
