As B!afne went UP Morton naturally went
down. The claims made yesterday wcro re-
peatcd to-day, but the air OF confidence with
which they havc been asserted had disappeared.
The face said onc thing and the lips another,

from New York, and that, Of the two, the Inter
Ia the only one that can carry the Empire State;
but this reasoning does not seem to have made
any impression upon q single delegate. eomc
OF them pin their hopes on tho succcss Of Cam
crons labors with tue Pennsylvania delegates,
