Stories OF Rargafntng
A report that is siioaL about the hotels
makes a trade between the Hayes men OF
Ohio and the Connecticut delegation. Among
the probabilities the reported bargain is
based on The suggestion That the more prom
inent candidates are likely TO destroy each
other, ard that Mr.. Hayes may then see his
way Gear 10 the nomination. provided other
delegations will start the ball. Connecticut,
IL is said, may agree TO do this, and receive
Its pay in the shape OF Ohios support OF Mr..
Jewell for the second place on the ticket.
Another story OF the same sort is that Sen
ator Anthony desires the second place on the
Bristow ticket, In consideration OF the fact
that the votes of Rhode Island are TO De cast

Blafne's Friends CepGdeut.
NEW YORK, June l3.-The POSTS Cincin-
nail special says: The condition of matters
to-day has materially changed and AZ is
now evident that Blaine's friends are deter
mined TO push his candidacy, and that they
no LONGER entertain any notion Of with
drawing him from The contest. The dis
patches fIom Washington have restored
their confidence and ttey now assert that
his prospects Will not suffer any on account
OF bis prostration.
COnklfng's Friends Tactics
Conking's frieucs maintain with much
earnestness that he is the coming man. al
though they decline TO say where his votes
are TO come from. IL is apparent to any close
observer that be has not any where nearly so
great strength as his managers claim. A
very careful canvass among the southern
delegations fails 10 show any decided changes
in his favor. TIE tactics now used I'm his
behalf are TO induce delegates to agree to
support him as the second choice, and over
lures have been made TO some of the most
prominent Ohio delegates 10 support Conk-
ling after Hayes, with the assurance that
hayes shall have the second place on the
ticket.
The same limitations have been made To
the Illinois delegation with one great diff
ference, the substitution of General Logan's
name in place OF Hayes. The same offer has
probably been made to Others, and in this
manner Conkling's friends expect TO sue.
coed, relying, OF course, on the disappear
ance OF Blaine as candidate. The course
OF the pennsylvania delegation is watched
with much interest. No formal meeting
OF this delegation had been held up 70
this morning, but very many OF the
rsnft after the first ballot, and the friends OF
Con king and Blaine are working to secure
their votes when Hartranft is wIthdraw n.
Hartranft club, OF Philadelphia, and the
New York city reform club, both headed by
music, paraded the streets this morning.
What BristOws Friends are Doing.
Bristow's friends are working diligently,
and are determined not to give up the con-
test, the real trouble being that he has very
few men here in bis interest who are
skilled In the kind OF work that is required
in order to secure votes. Solicitor Bluford
Wilson, who represents him, is doing all
be possibly can I'm this line, and has made
some progress. There are few people here
who believe Bristow has any real chancs of
obtaining the nomination, and with this
fact fully realized in the convention the
most OF his delegates will go 10 some new
man-probably Hayes. The Bristow men in
the Massachusetts delegation will go solidiy

The New York Delegation.
There are about twenty five men in the |
New York delegation who will vote for

Curtis will, when Bristow is WITHDRAW, vote
for either Blaine or Hayes as against Nor
