CINCINNATI June IL, lS76
Tho situation Is somewhat simpler and better denned
to-day. These are it. leading features:-
Hsst-The Blame vote sticks to him In great and
apparently increasing enthusiasm and determination,
and even his opponents acknowledge that he has the
nrst chance Of nomination His name will be pro-
tented BY Mr.. lngersoll Of Illinois and the nss
ballot no will have. unless matters change greatly In
Mo next twentyour hours between 200 and 500 votes
sith possibility Of sufacent additions 70 nomi-
aats him on the second or third ballot
Second-If Blaine should fail Of nomination on the
third ballot II Is regarded Is probable that his
forces would break and scatter
Third-If that happens the battle viii b chiefly
between Conkling and Hayes or Wushburns, and the
result will depend far Conkng Is concerned upon
quick handling Of all hts aSailabie forces
F0urth-The Bristow will try to defeat Couklng,
and TO do this they will, II Blanes forces scat
bered endeavor to rally upon Hayes Hayea will, in
that event. receive also considerable Northwestern
rote and that OF Ohio That IL say no will appear
with tho Bristow strength and all Of Blainss which no
carry.
FVth-Mr. Conklng will muster for himself at that
stage New York, tho larger part Of Pennsylvania,
arge part OF Illinois and the greater part II the
whole OF the Southern colored vote--in al he may
show $50 800 votesand in that thors
may DO rapid rally to his side, and no may be nomi
mated on the fourth ballot by delegates changing their
votes before the result IL sort Of dropping
nre which, when Il begins in . convention, u apt to
turn into fusillade
SixA-In the statement Mr.. Morton has been omit
led; in fact he is good Of the field; he win
eome In on the first ballot with respectable support
but It will consist mainly OF Southern delegates who,
while they would sincerely like to him nominated
H. A~1s~. -
very ready to leave him and mainly anxious to
discover the very earliest whom they de-
sert with decency So far these Morton forces
be controlled they will 60 to Mr. Conkling, but they
eaAnot be controlled; they are supremely anxious 10
vote carly for tho winning man. and their chief
from the nrst has been to discover who he will they
are adroit politicians, and, they do not expect
carry their own States their only hope Of preferment
lies In federal favor which they hope to deserve by the
merit Of very early discerning the winner. They will
rush 70 Conkling il they Believe he has chance 70
vim
SevenA-If the baloting were to take place tonight
there but little doubt that Mr. Blaine would be
mated on the first second vote. But the work OF
personal plea and argument with delegates uninter-
hitting, and determined effort has begun and will be
continued by Of Mr. Brstow's leading supporters
70 concentrate every available Hayes WASH
burne They have committed themselves SO squareiy
against both Conklng and Blaine that the nomination
Of either would be an awkward thing for them. They
are not very willing 70 turn over to the democratic
party, and indeed, profess confidence in
the work Of tho st. LOUIS Convention, and
they sec that Mr.. Bristow has little or no
chance OF the nomnation. Hence they will work
assiduously for some other candidate and both Wash
burue and Hayes were to-day spoken Of The prefer
this be for Hayes and the proba
biity Is strongest OF concentration on him OF all who
are determined to oppose both Blaine and Conkllng.
Eigha-This situation may be considerably varied
by the events OF the next twenty-four hours; H. for
Instance. the Pennsylvania delegation should determine
on break for Blaine, in which, is reported this
evening, twenty-five thirty shoulc join this would
settle the whole question because the Missouri dele
cations and others have already been shaken and
prepared to follow such load very rapidly and closely
NinA-Agan, the concentration Hayes or WASH
burne may be successful affect the result OF the
earlier balotings which settle nothing.
