Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1876-06-14


CAMERON is WORKING HARD FOR CONK.
LING.
and it would be going too far to say that
he has no Influence WhsteveT in the del.
egatior. There are negotiations going
on ali the time between the CODKling
and HartTsnft men, bat there does not
seem to have been any agreement ar
rived at which involves any number of
votes. l. was decided to give Hartranft
one unanimous vote; whei her he will
be withdrawn before the second or third
ballot NUT be s3tt'e Tomorrow. Dur
ing the evening the Blaine men have
| bean showing gns OF settled confidence
! which had an effect 0n the supporters OF
other candidstes Notwithstanding the
scattering losses Of the day they claim
to have gsined enough ia New Hamp
shire, California and Ili1ois TO counter
balance all that, and to give their can
didate between two hundred and ninety
and three hundred votes on frat ballot.
1t has been decided 10 have
NO INFORMAL BALLOT,
since It would unnecessarily consume
time. This estimate is made out by the
| Blaine committee, and they claim that
they have vigorously eliminated all
votes which could 10 any way be con-
sidered doublfu!. On the second ballot
they claim that Blaine will gain fifty
votes from the delegates outside Of Ohio
or Pennsylvania. Then they expect
when that jump is seen there wilt be
| enough immediate changes to iDsure bis
| nomination on that ballot. They are
! confident that when Blaine ia go near
success there will not be lacking delega-
tions who will struggle for the honor Of
being the first to change to him. As re-
CARDS tine somewhat contradictory tele-
grams concerning
BJAINE's CONDITION.,
they explain il by the statement that
the doctors who are attending him are
| homoopathists, and that those from
whom blacker reports come belong to q
| different school in medicine, who could
not do so unprOfessiOnal q thing as to
admit that tie diagnosis of their rivals
was correct. Blaine is to be put in NOM
! ination by Colonel IngersOll, and the
friends of the former have great hopes
! from the fervid flood of OratoTy which
the colonel will pour forth. 1t is believed
| by them that it will be difficult for the
susceptible delegates to resist this elO-
quence. Ititsh0uld happen, which seems
unlikely, thai aUy attack is made in
the convention on Blaine's record, he is
to respond to il, and to carry the war
into Africa, If need be. As Blaine went
up Morton naturally went down. The
| claims made yesterday were repeated to-
| day, but the air Of confidence With
which they had been asserted had Dis.
appeared. The face said one Thug q I'd
| the lips another, and the hopes en- err
| tert8ined of gains from Blaine IL {, g
| northwest and northeast vanished " hen
| It became apparent that Blaine had Eo
| intention Of gsttiDg out Of the way.
! They claim to day for the first or second
| ballot only Indiana and the votes &C
coded to them from the south, asserting,
however, that if Blaine should become
OUT OF THE QUESTION,
then they will jump at once from seven
| ty.Odd votes up TO hundred anu seven
ty. Outside, however, they claim over
! two hundred votes on the third ballot,
and nomination soon after. Conkling
man are quiet and undemOnstIative to-
day, as they were yesterday; but expe-
rlenced politicians among them have
not been wasting time. There ale ru-
mors that they have been
USING MONEY
and not in vain, but such transactions
are net carried on in daylight, and can

they cannot be said to be true. Mr..
| COnklinE'e friends are busy saying that
| what they call MortOn's collapse only
| indicates that the fight in the conven-
| ton will be between Blaine and the sem
| ator from New York, and that OF the
two, the latter is tie only one that can
carry the Empire State. But this Ies-
souing does not seem TO have made any
impression on single delegate. Some
| Of them still pin their hopes on the sue.
cess of CRmeron's labOrs with the Penn
sylvania delegates, but their general
feeling is not one Of buOyancy.
SECRETARY BgTsTOw's FRIENDS PRE-
SERVE AN UNBROKEN FRONT,
and although there has been a persistent
| effort from all sides to convince them
| that their case was hopeless, they re-
main mistaken, and are even acting on
the aggressive. They claim to have
! made decided gains among southern
delegates, and expect great things from
the support which it is believed New
| E. gland will give them after Blaine is
out Of the race. UptO the present time
| it is believed thattre Bfistow men have
kept sloof from anything resembling
conference with the friends

! tonight or early Tomorrow there
| will be consultation OF the Conkling,
BristoW and Morton leaders TO see if
they cannot agree to unite on Hayes, il
! it becomes apparent that Biaine's defeat
| can be accomplished in no other way.
| TIE depression fell among the support
ers Of Morton, CoDkling, etc, las not
extended to the friends of Governor
! Hayes, who have been working for him
! with shrewd audacity. Ex-Governor
! Noyes, who has the general planning of
the campaign for Hayes, is confident
! that
THE BLAINE LINE rs WEAKENING
| in many points, and has hopes that q
| bold dash may bresk it. He is said to
have been visited by the chairman Of
| twelve State delegations, including
| South Carolina, Virginia, Michigan,
! New Hampshire, Missouri and Tennes-
see, who gave him assurances Of their
support for Hayes so soon as the first
ballot YVES over. The Ohio delegation at
its meeting to-day decided to stuck solid
to Hayes until majority CT the dele
| gates decide that 1t is useless to continue
| the struggle.
It is reported Rs been decided that
