1t will be impossible to arrest the atten-
ton Of the people by any new scandals or
any further Investigations. He thought,
therefore. that Mr. Blaine would receive
more than 800 votes on the first ballot,
and that there is danger, looking at 1t
from his point of view, that the ex-Speak-
er will get the nomination without a
second calling of the roll. He will prob
ably get about sixteen votes from this

pose that after the roll had been called
throuh, Benjamin Wade should change
the vote of the remainder. or of the most

what could prevent his Nomination.

Mr.. Blaine's friends are confident, and
opponents say that he has not lost strength
and may even be nominated on the first
ballot. The attendance from Washington
promises to be extremely large.
A Cincinnati correspondent says:I
have made some careful inquiries to learn,
if possible, what signs of wavering are
to be discovered among the delegates
known to be favorable to Mr.. Blaine. but
have heard Of none. A few of the III
inOis delegates who are here say that
nothing which has occurred has shaken
the Blaine line in that State in the least.
Similar reports are received from other
directions. Some Of the advocates OF
Mr. Bristew's nomination with whom l
have talked admit this fact, sHd are
somewhat discouraged by il. One Of
them, who is q very shrowd observer,
said to-day that it seemed to him that Mr..
Blains's fight for the nomination closed
on Monday when the House adjourned
and the report of the days proceedings
went TO the country, By that days work
he gave confidence to those Of his sup
porters who were wavering, and kind
ed the enthusiasm Of those who had always
