CINCINNATI.
Delegates to the Republican Convention
Acknowledgements of the SIT
uaIiOn-Tne Blaine Pro-
gramme a Mystery.

CINCINNATI, June The night trains
have brought Ia large accessions of dele
gates and newspaper representatives,
who are actively engaged in discussing
the situation. Judge Martindale, Cen
erals TyrelI and Spooner, OF IndIan-
apollo, are among the new arrivals, and
ANNOUNCE that the friends OF Senator
Morton have strong hopes OF his NOM
ination. They cay that the
Indiana delegates have no second choice,
but will adhere to their iavOrlte to the
last, and that the statement heretofore
published, that the question Of a second
! choice had been considered, is untrue.
There is q friendly meeting between the
friends Of Morton and Bristow, which Is
greatly strengthened by the declaration
of prominent KenIuokians that their
second choice is Morton. General
Buckland, Edwin Cowles, Major w. d.
Beckham, and ethers Of the Ohio dele
cation have arrived, and declare the
policy Of Ohio to be, no attack on any
candidate, and steady adherence to
Hayes, which they hope will be success
fuI In the end. Very ju-
dlcious work is being done for Bristow.
His supporters are just now sngs gsd in
making friends, that his chances may
be increased If Blaine is once out Of the
way. But, "Whst is the Blaine pro-
gramme?n is the question asked on
every hand. "What will Illinois do,"
is another question asked with
equal anxiety, "if there is
q break in her delegation, Blaine Is
beaten" said a prominent politician.
Meanwhile, there are many. who regard
Conkling as gaining, and who speak of
the work done by his supporters during
the past week in the northwest. "This
Is the candidate we have most to fear" /"
said BristoW delegate.

ARKANSAS POLITICS.
Increased Interest In the Selection OF
Candidates Before the Coming
State COMMUNICATIONS L.
A. PIndaII PrOmin lent for
AttOrney.General.

MONTICELLO, ARK, June 3.-Our
reason for asking you to publish this
communication is natural. The APPEAL
deservedly enjoys large and general
circulation in Arkansas, and offers the
best medium for reaching the attention
of its people. AS the day for the meet
ing Of the Democratic State convention
approaches, the interest in Its choice OF
Candidates increases in this as well as
other parts of Arkansas. The merits OF
the several candidates are being actively
discussed, and the general sentiment Ia
that none but men of character and
ability should be selected. Among the
most important offices to be filed is that
OF attorney.general, and southern AT
kansas, sensible o! the importance of
the place, believes that no man whose
name has been brought before the pub
lie is better fitted for it than Colonel l..
A. Pindall, OF Desha. Next to the
governor, the attorney general, by his
legal advice, his weight in the
courts, aud his ability, ought
to exercise a very large influence
in the vital interests Of State finance.
He ought to be clear-hesded, practi-
cal and strong man. Colonel Pindall i5
that man. He is q thoroughly read law
yer, familiar with Stale legislation;
cool, dispassionate, hard-workiDg, firm
and honest. No one has better record
or presents n larger degree qualities
which command the respect ana conn.
dence Of the luolic. His Ilominssion
would strengthen the ticket, and bis
election secure TO the State faithful,
honest and sble Law osscer. The con.
yentiOr, to meet on the fourteenth OF
June, cannot choose better man than
Colonel l.. A. Pindall. MONTICELLO.
