worked assiduously during the morning to

The one hammered at the hardest was

men who sought to destroy the Union by

men who saved the Union.

an party, and for that to desert him would
be an act of treachery which would damn
the party forever. The record of Blaine
was more defensible, said the orator, than
that of the Republican party.
The result was two Washburne men who |
represent Washburne's district promised to |
vote for Blaine, one, however, reserving the |
right to vote first for Washburne if there |
was any chance of his nomination.
One of the BristOw men also went over |
on the ground that Blaine was the prefer |
erence of his district, to which he would |
yield.
The State will probably vote Blaine forty,
Bristow two. If it should happen Blaine
will be broken, Bristow getting seven or |
eight, Morton ten or eleven, Hayes seven
or eight, Wheeler two, C0nkling possibly |
one or two, the rest uncertain.
New Hampshire has resolved to vote |
solid for Blaine. This and Illinois gives
Blaine four additional votes, and with good |
news regarding Blaine's health, more than |
offsets the detection in the Pennsylvania ]
and New Jersey delegations.
Later developments in Pennsylvania are |
more favorable to Blaine. He may with |
some confidence count on forty eight after |
Hartranft is dropped. Cameron, however,
is working hard for Conkling.
Negotiations are going on al the time be- |
tween Conkling and Hartranft men, but it |
seems no agreement is reached which in |
