made any impression upon single delegate.
Some Of them still put their faith In the sue
&c 10 OF Cameron's labor with the PennsyL
Va Tia delegation, but their general feeling is
no zone Of buoyancy.
Secretary Bristow's friends preserve an
unbroken front, and although there has
been persistent effort from all sides to con-
vince them that their case was hopeless,
they remain unshaken, and are even acting
on the aggressive. They claim to have
made
DECIDED GAINS
among the southern delegates, and expect
great things from the support which it is be-
lieved New England will give after Blaine
is out OF the race. Up to the pre-
sent time It il believed the Bristow men
have kept aloof from anything resembling
conferences with the friends OF other candi-
dates, but late tonight or early tomorrow
morning there will be consultation OF
Conkling, Bristow, and Norton leaders to
see II they cannot agree to unite up6fi
Hayes In case it becomes apparent that
Blaine's defeat cannot be accomplished in
no other way.
THE DEPRESSION
| felt among the supporters OF Morton, Conk-
ling, &c, has not extended to the friends Of
Governor Hayes, who have been working
| for him with shrewd activity. Ex-Governor
! Noyes, who has the general planning of the
| campaign for Hayes, is confident that
Blaine's line is weakening in many points,
and has hopes that dash may break it. He
is said to have been visited by the chairmen
Of twelve committees OF State delegations,
including South Carolina, Virginia, Michi-
gan, New Hampshire, Missouri, and Tenn
nessee, who gave him
ASSURANCES OF SUPPORT
for Hayes SO soon AS the first ballot was
over. The Ohio delegation, at it's meeting
to-day, decided to stick solidly to Hayes
until majority OF the delegates decided
that it was useless to continue the struggle
1t has been decided that Hon. Theodore
Nj. Pomeroy, OF New York, shall be tenn.
porary chairman. 1t was first intended to
have Judge Stanley Matthews, of Cincin,
natl, but the fact that he is a stroflg Bristow
man stood in the way, and friend OF Conk
ling obtains the honor. Nothing is known
as to who will be permanent president.

Striking Points.
The 1ribune's special from Cincinnati
says: Probably the most striking fact oil
the news from Cincinnati is that the friend:
Of Mr. Conkling, who are working very
hard, are trying to break down Blaine's
support by arguments derived from his sud
den illness. Only the Vermont or Michigan
followers OF Mr.. Blaine, however, are wa
vering at present. and his nomination or
the third ballot is predicted, COnkllng gain
ing some delegates by taking away votes
from Morton.
| IT Is NOW CERTAIN
that only few votes from Pennsylvania car
be delivered to Conkling. That gentleman
however, is now claimed as a sure second il
strength to Blaine. 1t is said Morton vii
be dropped entirely early in the baloting
Other specials say the Blaine delegates
from various sections held meeting ant
voted that Blainc's name should be present
ed in the Convention by Mr.. Frye, to b.
followed by Mr.. Ingersoil, of Illinois, and
il necessary, j. II. Howe, Of Wisconsin
nephew OF the Senator.
Contcsting Delegations.
One OF the first questions the Convention
will be called upon to decide will be TIN
contest of the Alabama delegations. Their
were two conventions held i'll Alabama
both of which elected delegations claimin!
| 10 DE the regularly chosen REPRESENTATIVE
the Republican party in that State. TIL,
delegates elected by the Convention which
met on May 10th are said to b.
mostly for Mr.. Bristow. The convention
] which met on May 24th, and which
known as the Spencer Convention, elected
solid Morton delegation, with Senate
Spencer at its head The second choice o
both delegations is Mr.. Blaine. As Alabam
has
TWENTY VOTES IN THE CONVENTION,
the decision IL to which delegation shall b
admitted will affect the character Of the frs
ballot considerably, although the probabili
ties are that it will not affect the final result
as either delegation will probably vote TO
Blaine after the first ballot. The action 0
the Convention will, however, have an i'm
portant influence on Republican politics il
Alabama, since its recognition Of eithe
delegation would confirm the legitimacy o
the Convention elccting it. AT present tw'
distinct party organizations arc kept up
and in every county separate Republican
conventions are held and separate RepIlbli
can tickets are nominated, the result, o
course, being to throw away whatcvc
chances the Republican party might have o.
