Herald of the fourteenth says:
The proceedings of the session Of III
National Republican Executive Committee
! and its final action in selecting Cincinnati
| IS the place and June Il as tie time to-
! holding the Presidential Nominating Con
| vention, are variously interpreted and com
merted upon by the politicians in and abeu
| the hotels tonight.
The committee took recess after the az
/, nounceme Mt of the fourth ballot, which Wal
reached about two o'clock in the afternoon
At this stage Of the proceedings the situa
ton of the committee was taken to indicate
in some degree, OF to the exten. at leas
that SO undetermirate criterion as ma
tional committee could indicate. the rela
tive chances Of the more prominen. Re
publican candidates for the presidency who
are already before the public.
Thus the vote OF severSee for PLiladel
phia was regarded az expressing piopor
tomato sentiment for Mr. Blaine. whose
party strength in the East has developed
wonderfully s:rce his speech at the centen
NAL banquet last month, and particular J
since his bold and uncompTo.nslng radical
ism in the amnesty debate il Congress.
The yo.e Of SIX for Chicago was II the
same way regarded az solid choice OF Sen
ator Morton, while the vote OF twenty toi
Cincinnati was composed OF three elements
VIZ: Senator Morton, Secretary Bcis:ow and
tie Ohio election.
When the committee met agar, a. night

ing this result. the changes upon the three
citiee. in the Gitieren. pa!lot!ngs. were still
interpreted IN tie manner alreaGy referred

that the lines were broken from the shape

The committeeman from Pennsylvania
was tie Iss: 20 break the Philadelphia
combination by voting tor Cincinnati,
vIereupon the other Philadelphia men
wen: almost il a body toc Chicago. giving
Chicago the Lead en- THE ballot and alarm
ing the Cincinnati men fer the success OF
their city. This maneavre was taken to
mean tina: the Blaine men, seeing that they
could nc: VIII, threw thei: vote for Chicago,
or Morton. as against Cincinnati and so
much of Cincinnati as mean. B-istOw.
The final triumph of Cincinnati is re.
gar6ed as advancing tie chances Of B-ls-
