The Washington correspondent oil TN
Chicago Inert Ocean puts down West Vir
riuia in the Cincinnati Convention as
for Blaine and 4 for Conkling, This, w
think, will be news to most people. Anc
vet the table Of which West Virginia u
thus made part, was, according to this
correspondent, carefully mNIe out,
First" he says, N made an estimate ol
my own; then ! took it to Blaine man
and he made corrections; then to a MOT,
ton man and he revised the list thcn l
went Ito a man wise in the affairs Of Conk'
ling, to &c. his corrections then consult
cd S' di.inlerc.tcd politicians and men
from several States, and after comparing
their c;pinions, and making " fair dlvi'
zion on disputed points, l present a table
Which. | aul satisfied, represents as much
,,",L n. can bc gained at this day."
THE reader can judge how reliable the
table, thus prepared, is likely to be, from
he division made Of the vote Of West
Virginia. If there is Conkling man
ppr &c, in the West Virginia delegation,
,bc fact is not known TO the general pub
lie. And il there is one in any event the
fact is not even suspected In these parts
The votes in this table that arc given to
Mr. blaine are as follows: California II,
Georgia 6, Iowa q, Kansns 10, Maine "A,
Maryland lG, Massachusetts, 20 tout Of
s0, Minnesota 10, Nebraska 6, New
Hampshire 7 tout Of 1O), North Carolina
l6 tout Of 2O), Oregon G, South Carolina
j(ouL of lI, Texas G tout Of 10y, Yer
montlO, Virginia 10 (out Of 22), West Vir'
riniaG tout Of 10Y, Wisconsin 20, Colo

co ., Utah .. ....
Making total OF 2I0 votes.
OF these States, thus counted up, the
following only have held conventions as
vet, viz: California, Colorado, Georgia,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Texas, Wiscon
sin, West Virginia, Virginia, Vermont
audUlah, and they foot nr, according to
this table, exactly ia votes for Mr.
Blaine. Since then, the State Of Mich
isan has held her convention, and allow
ing ono half OF her vote for him, say II
and his vote will stand up to date at l3@
To this vote add the vote Of pennsyl
vania, after y complimentary vote to Gov
lIartrAnft, and Mr.. Blaine's vote viii
.And liz, which is some 20G short OF
nomination, even preSuminG that they
will all be cast tor Mr.. Blaine. We "a!
'prcsunling that they will, for the reaSo'
that Vermont, Texas, Colorado ant
Utah have not instructed for anybody
l,nt coneeding them all to Mr.. Blaine, ant
vet he still lacls some 20G Of II nOmina
lion, which is great gulf 10 bridge over
especially when we remember the know
relations that prevail between Mr.
Conkling and Mr.. Blaine, and also tI''
supposed relations between him and Mr.
Morton, Judging the latter by the l!ar
rison letter, The correspondent OF the
Inter. Ocean gives Mr.. ConkIing 1856 vote
in the Convention, and Mr.. Morton liI
Supposing this estimate to be even onl!
approximately correct, and it makes
powerful combination when unitet
against any one candidate. So powell"
in fact, that Mt this time ii is u matter o
pure guess work to undertake tosay wh'
will be the Cincinnati nominee. II Conk
ling and Morton set their faces agains
any candidate he will need 10 have grea
strength indeed to be able to Withstand
