WASHINGTON, June 16-After the final bal
lot was announced, Mr.. Blaine rode out with
his oldest son and was received with loud cheers
wherever the crowds assembled on the streets
Mr.. Blaine received dispatches throughout the
day in his library, in company with several of
his friends, whom he continually assured that
Hayes would ultimately be nominated He
was fully impressed with the probability of
successful combination against him, and ex-
cept during the twenty minutes following the
sixth ballot did not expect the nomination.
He was altogether the coolest and least excited
of the company During the evening his resi-
dence was crowded with callers, whom Mr..
Blaine received with cheerfulDess, exhibiting
no traces whatever of disoppointu ent. Dis
cussing the events of the day, he says the
immediate cause of the failure of his friends
to secure his nomination was the holding back
of votes from PENNSYLVANIA after the third
ballot. This Mr.. Blaine attributes to fictitious
strength temporarily lent to Hattranft from
time to time by the Conkling forces. which
made it possible for minority of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation to urge that their candidate
could not properly be dropped while he was
still apparently gaining votes
Mr.. Blaine has sent to Messrs. Hamlin, Hale,
Frye and Stevens the following despatch:
''Bear to all my friends who have so nobly
and devotedly stood by me, the profoundest
expressions of my hearts warmest gratitude.
j. 6. BLAINE
Senators Morton and Conkling aud Secretary
Bristow appear perfectly calm this evening,
and acquiesce in the result with many compli-
mentary expressions concerning the successful
candidate,

Members OF the Turner Association ali over

lantic Turner'S OF Baltimore was held on
Monday night to cut loose from such a con-
pection. 1.-The New York Herald says
Hendricks seems to be still in doubt as to
whether he is the candidate for the Presi-

city, and Q member OF the Tammany Hall
general COMMITTEES, being unable to con-
scientiously support Gov. Tildeu for the

member Of the organization named. In so
doing he says, among other things: 81 will

nominee OF the so-cAlled democratic party.
Seeing In him . thoroughly corrupt, vicious
and bad man, ana one whom believe would
