New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1876-06-12


trated on three candidates, of whom Gov. Hayes
should have the smallest support. Mr.. Cowles of
The Ciretdnd Leader reserved the right 10 vote for
Mr.. Blaine whenever in his judgment it became de-
srabe to do so, and one other delegate made the
same reservation for himself in favor of Senator
Merton. Other Blaine men will probably occupy
the same position with Mr.. Cowles.
The Indiana delegation is less demonstratve to-
day than that from New-York. but there are evil
denccs that it is doing very effective work.
1t is largely composed of active and ex
perienced politicians and their support of
Senator Morton is very earnest. They will
stand by him as long a ray of hope re-
mains, and they do not allow themselves even TO
discuss the contingency of failure. They claim 207
votes on tho first ballot and express thcms"'Tea as
sure of nearly 200, but give no particulars.
The Connecticut delegation remains as L-st re-
rorted-ten votes for Gov. Jewell and two for
Secretary Bristow. Gen. Hawley and John NJ. Hale
the Bristow delegates. The real purpose of the
delegation is to secure for Gov. Jewell the second
place the ticket. They have TO idea that IN any
event their candidate has possible chance for the
first place. The delegation being united in this,
there il no likelihood of SIR. Blaine rcceiy-
ing single vote from that State, rs there
would be no chance for Gov jewell for
the nomination for Vice President If the candidate
for President is taken from Ncw-EnPland They
will vote for Gov. Jewell the first ballot and until
the situation changes that they can 60 over to
Gov Hayes OF Mr.. Bristow, or some Western candi-
date, with the understanding that Gov Jewell is to
60 on the ticket. Personally tle delegates favor
Mr. Rristow after Gov. Jewell, but they
do not believe Mr. Brstow has any chance.
and are consequently ready 10 go for Gov.
Hayes. whom they believe to be- the most promising
candidate for their purposes. They want noinina-
ton that will help them carry their own state, ana
this neither Senator Conkiing nor Senator Morton
would do, nor possibly Mr. Blaine. Cen Hawey, u
is sald has agreed to support Gov jewell and pre-
sent his name to the Convention for the NIce-Presi-
eucy though he will not vote for hun Tor the first
place.
The Colorado delegation arrived In force this
morning. Gov. Routt, who accompanies them, sad
the Territory is actually ablaze for Mr. Blaine. The
people OF that embryo State remember that on the
last night Of the last session of Congress Speaker
Blaine recognized Representative lioskns of New
York on the Colorado BILL and thus made it, passage
possible The result is, Gov. Routt says, that among
the Republicans every man, woman and child Is for
Mr. Blaine besides many of the Democrats, and II
he ia nominated bonfircs will be hudled on every
peak Of the Rocky Mountains, and the people Will
actually go Wild
oFFICsRs or THE CONVENTION.
Very little has been yet said IN regard to the or
ganization of the Convention. Mr. B.a mss friends
are IN "A majority on the National Committee and
they control more than half the States. They there
fore will be able to select the temporary and per
manent President if they desire They do not III
tend TO use this power 10 put one OF Their friends
into either position and will only insist that both
presiding officers shall be men who VIII be far IN
their decisions and shall have sufficient voice to be
;rt . of nc hUidfWP. About
the only names mentioned are those of Theodore NJ.
PomeI ~ of New-York for temporary Chairman. and
Gen. j. NJ. Harlan Of Kentucky for permanent
President. The former Ia of course a ConkAns aan'
and the latter Mr. Bristow's next friend.
RETORMER- AND wORKEgs.
Some of the Eastern reformcrs who desire 10
nominate a candidate who il not n politician are
looked npon with "a good deal of contempt by those
who by years Of experience have become skilled IN
the management of conventions and ihc conduc, oil
elections. They admit that these reformen are very
good men, aud are governed by good intentions;
but they say that the policy they choose las the
effect OF perpetuating the very political evils oi
which they complain. One Of the most experienced
and best informed politicians in the country met
Mr. Hardy Of Massachusetts, yesterday ana '!c uI5-
cusson of tins subject which ensued vas very
interesting on account of ITS bearing upon
the work If the Convention Mr.. Hardy desires the
nomination of a man who is not politician, and for
that reason he is opposed to Mr.. Blaine. That Is
the very reason why support the ex-SpcaFcr' was
the rcDly. 81 was opposed to the nomination oi
Gen Grant in 1868 aud again IN 1877, because
knew him TO be wholly inexperienced II. political
afTairs The very mistakes of the past eight years
which have brought the Republican party almost 10
ruin and produced the present great crisis IN the his
tory of the country itself are the result Of the blum
81 Ia. l,t,tu which

pcrienced in politics.
..But.v said Mr.. Hardy, 1--WE desire to have the
rings broken"
.There will be rings,o was the reply. "as long as
we have parties. The most important thing Is to
have man sharp enough and experienced enough
IA rreycut them from becoming corrupt. Your
scutimcnt NAV all be very well, but something
besides sentiment is needed TO make good govern
ment.'
Among the later rrlmOrs Of the evening Is one OF
caucus of the Brstow men to be held tomorrow TO
consider the proprety of withdrawing their candl-
date in favor Of some other his has been urged
by the Blaine men upon Mr.. Bristow's representa-
lives in behalf Of the exSpeakcr, but it is not known
that any definite arrangement has been reached ana
one Is not likely to be. Another ItInor ~ that IL
nroposed 10 hold the Pennsylvania delegation iur
tiov Hartfanft as long possible, IN view oil uho
hostility of good portion of II TO MI COhklhB'
