can Convention which has here assem-
bled is the largest and most excited
crowd ever congregatcd in this city.
Everything is at fever heat. But little
acnmony and general good feeling is
exhibited. After n careful review of the
ground, all are satisfied OF Blaine's nom.

and almost certain on the second.

votes against Conkling on the second or

Hartrantt has withdrawn, if there shall
be that many left, which is not probable
in view of his other promises. Earnest

Alex. Mcclure says: "The action of
the Pennsylvania delegation was that q
resolution be passed ov,r Don Cameron
by majority OF A, to the effect that the
4 delegation vote for IIartrunit on the
first ballot; then, il no delegates ask for
consultation Cameron shall call it, and
the delegates shall be free to vote us they
please. These A votes are by Blaine
men,"
The Illinois delegation held its meet
ing at noon. A ballot was taken, re-
sulting in Blaine, 81; Bristow, 4 Wash
burne, Q; Adams, ?. Speeches were
made by Senators Logan md Conkling
in favor of unity and solid vote. The
result was that two Washburne men and
one oi the Bristow men expressed
change Of heart, and agreed to support
Blaine. The two absent ones are for
him, which will give him 80 votes.

fairs since the afternoon, except that
Brist0w's strength has increased some

break. There is little enthusiasm for
any candidate save Blain, whose friends
are here with remarkable fidelity. I, is
