the least, significant and, to some extent,
indicative Of the final result. Whether
made by friend or fee, in seeking for pro-
bable combinations it seems to be taken
for granted that the nomination of Mr..
Blaine is out of the question. This is
especially noticeable within the past few
days, and since Mr.. Blaine took into his
confidence for,y-four millions of people
and read ''those letters" This, also, in
PRODUCES new element of uncertainty in
to the canvass, as Mr.. Blaine's friends |
seem 10 think that he will use whatever |
power he may possess over the delegates TO
revenge himself upon others who have
been prominently mentioned in connection
with the nomination. especially upon Mr..
| Bristow
The other noticeable fact is that Mr.
| Bristow's name il prominent in all Of the
speculations from whatever source they
come. His "reserve strength, as we may
cali it, is feared by all alike. The friends
of Blame say that with the scattering Of
the Conkling and Morton vote, Bristow
will receive large accession of strength.
The Conkling and Morton men fear that
the majority of the so-called Blaine dele
gates will go over to Bristow. The Jewell
men, and the majority of the Hayes men,
it is conceded, will be for Mr.. Bristow.
This fear, If we may so call it, of Bris-
tow's strength, comes from all the candi-
dates alike The New York Conkling
leaders say that an alliance has been made
by which Mr.. Bristow shall be nominated
for president, with e. ID. Morgan for vice
president; and this alleged combination
they fear will capture the New y ork dele.
CATION. Another story is to the effect that
q combination has been made between the
friends of Bristow and Morton, by which
the latter shall become vice president !;
still another report makes Woodford vice
presidents another gives the poeltion to
. Hayes and still another to Blaine. We
have not the least idea that Mr.. Bristow'e
friends have entered into any combination,
but the speculations from those opposed to
/. him indicate very clearly that he is consid
b cred the most formidable candidate for the
h nomination.
. In the meanwhile, Mr.. Bristow 10 re
n ported 10 be gaining strength in unexpec
, ted quarters. The Cincinnati correspond
ent of the New York Tribune telegraph
that delegates from the south, pledged o
!, instructed to vote for Morton, who wer
n expected to go for Conkling when the forme
p was out of the way, "are found to he de
a tcrmined to vote for Mr.. Bristow." Thi
- is said to be the case with thirteen vote
, from Louisiana, as, also, with the Missis

d egates. The same telegram states tha
