to which this falling off is attributable,
they vary with the presidential preferences
OF the person who states them.
Bristow men cay it is due 10 the republi-
cation to-day OF Bainc's letters 10 Fisher,
which they claim had never been read by
some of the delegates, and hurriedy read
and never thoroughly understood by others.
Some Cnnkling men say it is due TO an
impression that the nomination of Blaine
will result In the defeat of the republican
party.
HE HAS ONLY 2G3 VOTES.
The Blaine men are said to have 203
votes sure for the first ballot. His oppon-
ents claim that it is his entire strength, and
that he cannot gather any more. His
friends assert that he has $50 pledged votes,
though last night they put it at nearly 800
He has, they say, prospect Of getting
about 300 votes on the first ballot. A. ma
ority of the Pennsylvania delegation, they
say, is surely for him. though Don Cameron
and his associates have made a tremendous
effort to-day. The delegation for Couk

is solid for Hartranft, and will remain 60.
first, last and all the time. This ia certain,
but when it becomes evident that Hart
ranft has no chance, from 40 10 49 Of the
delegates will, it IS claimed, vote for
Blaine.
MORTON
1t is the general opinion that Senator
Morton may be said to be where he was
yesterday. Indiana will stand by him to
the last. His friends say they have been
gaining in the south, and there appears to
be some color for the impression.
coNELIgG WORKING SOLELY FOR BLAtNE's
DEFEAT.
The friends of Conklpg do not by any
means cay that be is out of the race. They
have always been quiet and have not
Dragged as loudly as som Of the others
1t is stated, however, on pretty good au-
tbority that they are bending their sole
and undivided energies to the defeat Of
Blaine. 1t Is understood that they are
working tonight in conjunction with the
friends Of the other candidates for The pur-
pose of uniting their forces. The immedi-
ate result of this is that the friends Of
Hayes are more encouraged than
ever and believe that he will be finally &C
cepted as compromise candidate, after a
couple Of ballots have shown the impracti-
cability of uniting upon any other man.
BRIsrow GAINS.
Dristow's supporters are much more
cheerful than yesterday. They have some
hope for their own man, but more for the
defeat of Blaine. They are confident Of
1853 votes on the first ballot, having re-
ceived several accesaions since yesterday
Among the gains are a ma ority OF the Texas
delegation, two from Pennsylvania, and
four from Mississippi. The most prom-
nent man who has come out sqnarcly for
Bristow is Governor Alcorn Of Mississippi,
heretofore regarded as doubtful. He was
one of the vice presidents of the Bristow
meeting at Pixies opera house this evening.
