KEEPING UP APPEARANCES.
To-day the Conkling managers have dlstfn-
euished themselves By the assiduous court they |
have paid the Morton folks. II an era Of good |
feeling does not follow, tt will not be the fault
Of the Conk1iugites; and II, when the Morton
phalanx breaks, the major part OF 1t goes over to
Bristow it will only be because all the et-
forts Of the Conklingites to bring about an era |
Of rood feeling have been In vain. This even
ting the latter followed up their coquet-
ing for the day with the Morton
folks by serenading the latter at
their headquarters. The dulcet strains were
furnished BY that field band fetched from New
York By the Conllling delegation, and which Is
none other than the band Of the late laneuted
Col. Jim Ffsk's Ninth Regiment How Godlove
8. Orth responded to the serenade in an appro-
pirate speech, meaning nothing In particular,
but conveying halfway assurance to the
ConkIfngites that their efforts toward get
ting up
were very good in their way.
All day, too, the managers for Conkling,
Morton, and Blaine have been coquetting with
the Ohio delegation Every one OF them
wanted to give Hayes the second place On
the ticket, in return for which the Ohio delega-

in Convention respectively for Blaine, Conklfng,
and Morton. The Ohio managers, however,
feeling very sanguine Of their ability to secure
the second place on the ticket for Hayes at any
time, respectfully declined each and every one
Of these bids. They evidently aspire to take the
p1aee vacated BIZ Pennsylvania as the Keystone
State, and to hold Hayes in the field until such
time as, By withdrawing him, they can absolute
r7Tfi1
can nominate him for the first place on the
ticket.
THE OTTO DELEGATION DIVIDED.
At meeting Of the delegation this afternoon
m effort was nude to pledge the delegates to
HAYES first, last, and all the time. Only twenty
eight of the forty-four delegates we're present,
md those twenty-eight failed to agree to the
first, last, and all the time programme. Cowles,
of the Cleveland District, Insisted on the right
Of voting for Blaine any time after the first bal
lot vban his vote would do Blaine most good,
and a Morton man IN the delegation reserved
the same right for himself. Among the
sixteen delegates yet to arrive there
are believed to be others who Will claim the like
privilege, so that though Hayes may be kept
before the Convention as the compromise can
didate it is not likely, from present indications,
| that be will receive the undivided support OF
the Ohio delegation. However, the surmises
| grow more and more frequent that the Great
Unknown Is very liable to prove to be not Hayes,
but Washbu1ne, and the candidacy OF the latter
| Is discussed as among the not remote possibilt-
! ties.
The Hayes men, however, distance the
| entire field On reckoning up big
vote for their candidate, and claim that
| he Is the second choice Of the Blaine men, the
! Con},lipg men, and the Morton men; In TACT
| eyerybody's second choice.
| oRoAN1zAT1oN.
There has vet been little talk as to the
organization Of the Convention, the names sug.
! oeSted thus far being Theodore Pomc1oy, OF
New York, for temporary Chairman, and e1-
| Gov, Davis, Of Texas, for permanent Chairman:
The former is reckoncd among the adherents OF
Conkling, and the latter as Morton man. The
| whole NAV probably be set down as dependent
| upon the arrival OF the Conkltng aud Morton
forces at a mutual understanding as against
Blaine. Then perhaps the friends Of the gen
| f1eman from Maine will have somewhat to say
about it.
The political caldron is secthfng and fnmfng
! tremendously tonight. The Blaine, Conkllng,
and Morton forces are strongly repfesentea. .h Inc
half dozen Of them are here quietly observing
things. There is, it is noted, less contemPtuous
reference to Bristow than WAS observed before
It leaked ont that he was the seconu cnolce oI q
considerable scction at 1east Of the coloEed dei-
egates, and now there Is nVclJ ca11oslty ~ ~ W
what further unexpected strength he may Dc
