MoRToN's STRENGTH.

The Morton men are more confident OF
success, owing TO Blaines Illness, and
claim that what danger he (Morton) has to
fear comes not from Conklng, but from
Hayes. They assert that the efforts made
by the Conkling mon to secure southern
votes have failed. and that the delegates
from that section, colored and white, re-
main as yet faithful to those whom they
we're pledged to support. The chief reli-
ance of Morton is on the accession which
it 10 believed will come to him from Blaine
men in the northwest and northeast, should
it be found that the latter could not be
nominated. 1t is claimed that third OF
Iowa, a portion of Wisconsin, a share of
Michigan, fraction of Illinois and pref
ty full vote from Maine will go Morton
when Blaine drops out. The number to
be thus obtained from Illinois is not so
large as has been claimed by some Col.
Ingersoll and about five others will prob
ably make up all that can be obtained from
that source. The delegations from Indiana
is determined to stick to Morton to the
end, and have no second choice.
TIE ALABAMA CONTEST.
The contested seats from Alabama will
be the first matter coming before the con-
yention which will create any discussion.
1t will be preceded only by formal business.
THE PRcGRAMME
The convention will be called to order
by Gov Morgan of New York, chairman
of the national central comgnittee, who will
make brief address, rot exceeding five
minutes in length. Then Judge Stanley
Matthews, temporary presiding officer, Will
address the convention, after which the
committees on creden,ial, resolutions, etc :,
will be appointed.
BLAINE's CHANCES
1t cannot DO safely said that as yet any
votes have been lost to Blaine by reason Of
his sickness. Should his condition remain
unimproved for twentY-four hours more,
however, there are said TO be several who
would support him only on the informal
and possible the first formal ballot. This
evening Senator Logan claims that Blaine
will have 300 votes on the first formal bal
lot, and on the second will receive enough
wsverers to put him through. lie denies
the statement that he is at heart for Conk-
ling, asserting that the choice of the con-
tpY, 10 at I(laina nd fbf1k
ling. lie is strongly in favor OF the for
mer.
BRIsrow.
The Bristow men are making claims that
on the second formal vote their candidate
will have 200 votes. They say that instead
of two votes formerly allowed Bristow in
Illinois, he will have six, and that after a
ballot or two nearly all Missouri will unite
on him. They admit that as yet their
force is chiefly made up of sca,terers of a
few delegates from each state, but they
claim that those will stand firm against all
pressure and persuasion, and will not allow
themselves to be coerced into letting their
states vote as a unit. Yet many Of them
now entertain no faith in Bristow's nomin-
alton, saying that after Blaine is disposed
of Morton and Conkling will unite to stay
Bristow, if in no other way, by giving the
nomination to Hayes. There was a meet
ing Of Bristow men to-day, at which Soil
ctor Wilson was present as the leading
spirit. They counted up one hundred and
sixty votes which they claim certain for
Bristow in the first formal ballot.
HAYES GAINING.
The Ohio men have grown to be very en-
thusiastic for Hayes. They held two
meetings this afternoon and evening, at
which reports were made by prominent
members of the delegation who had been
in conference with other delegates, going
to show that there is a general feeling Of
confidence in the ultimate nomination of
Hayes as a compromise candidate. twas
stated at the meeting that Missouri had
said that with Blaine out of the way the
majority of the delegation would 90 over
10 hayes ana the remainder To Morton.
Prominent Massachusetts delegates, it was
also said, have assured the Ohio delegates
that all they desired was that Ohio should
stand firm on the ballots, ard Msssachu-
sets would finally come TO the support Of
Hayes.
