We also received the following
special by the A.. & p. line:
CINCINNATI, June l4-l0:50 A. NJ.
To the SENTINEL:
All of the delegates are in and the
city last night was q scene of music,
speeches, fireworks aud wireworks,
the latter prevailing.
The Enquircr this morning fixes the
first ballot as follows, although Blaine's
tally falls below that claimed by his
friends: Blaine, 253; Conkling, "a;
Bristow. 81; Morton, 140; Hayes. As.
This does not include the 20 votes Of
Alabama and District OF Columbia.
Another estimate, made from a per-
sonal canvass, is given as follows:
Blaine. 264; Conkling, 100; Bris,ow,
100; Morton, $50; Hartrann. IS; Hayes,
4~A-necessary for a choice, 379. Since
Bristow's resignation as Secretary Of
the Treasury he appears to have lost
ground. Pools sold last night as fol
lows: Blaine, $500; Conkiing, $500
Morton. $500; field, 800.
Conkling's friends say the large vote
for Blaine is in vindication of him, and
! will not materially increase after the
second ballot. =
v Senator Jones, of Nevada, will intro
duce, in the Committee on Resolutions
. plank based IN the speech of Senator
Sargent Oh the Chinese question, set
ting forth the great danger to the Pa
ciic coast. The air is rife with rumors
of combinations for or against this ane
that candidate, but up to this time It Il
ali. conjecture. No nominations viii
be made to day.
