From the Philadelphia Press.
The supporters Of Edmunds, Window
and Washburns are too few even when
combined to make the Grant minority q
majority. II a dark horse must be
chosen IT will come fro the anti Grant
party, and in that party toe name which
most naturally suggest itself is that OF
James A. Garfield of Ohio. With, however
the large vote which Mr. Blaine has Sc
cured to him and the very respectable
contingent waiting to join him as assecord
choice, We do not consider that the
chances for dark horses to-day are at all
flattering, but look forward with conf.
dence to the nomination OF the Maine
Senator as the Republican candidate for
President Of the Unitsd States.
O. respondent Of Phila. North American.
All sorts Of attempts have been made
In roundabout way to induce the
Pennsylvania Blaine IOrce to abandon
him and concentrate on Edmunds, but
this scheme has been abandoned as
dangerous and impracticable, for it Is
said that Cameron was distinctly to
understand that in the event Of such
thing being undertaken, Blaine would
at once receive ten additional votes
from Pennsylvania, making in all
thirty three, with the certainty of fur
thsr acquisitions on subsequent ballots.
It is believed, therefore, that the Ed
munds scheme has been abandoned so
far as Pennsylvania is concerned. The
vote of the Keystone State on the first
ballot is tonight authoritatively stated
as follows: Grant, 80; Blaine, %;
Sherman, 2. What 1t will be on the
next ballot no one presumes to esti-
mate accurately, but all are agreed that
Blaine will unquestionably gain.
From the New York Tribune.
The National Republican Convention
reassembles in Chicago this morning at
10 o'clock, C10.53, New-York time) and
will, it is expected, Immediately begin
to ballot for the Presidential nominee.
The prospects Of Senator Blaine are
deemed excellent. He may count on
300 votes on the first ballot. His
friends calculate that he will receive
80 votes at first, and will be nomina-
ted, at least, on the fourth or fifth bal
lot. 1t is rumored that Senators Conk-
ling and Cameron are disposed to carry
over the delegations Of their respective
States to Blaine, when they find that
Grant cannot be nominated.
There is gloom in the Grant camp.
: General Horace Porter comedies that
the vot for the ex-P President on the first
ballot will be no higher than 2s8; the
Blaine men say that it may be 1856.
The Grant men were afraid to enter on
a ballot on Saturday night.
Senator Conkling's sarcastic remarks
in presenting General Grants nane
have injured his own interests and
those of General Grant. The course
pursued by General Garfield is deemed
able and polite.
CORRESPONDENTS Of the Phllaie' piia Record.
There does not seem to be much
chance for either Washburne or Ed
munds in this condition of affairs, be-
cause the Grant men will go to Ed.
munds and Blaine to Washburne.
This would leave matters in pretty
mach the same condition as before, with
Sherman holding the balance of power.
Zach day, though, the sentiment in
creases against having an Ohio man un-
DIR any consideration, and this leaves
the field open to a fifth man. The
Blaine leaders (Hale, Frye and Cover
nor McCormick) told me today they
were perfectly satisfied with the condi.
tion of affairs, and have DO doubt brt
that their man will win. An estimate
obtained from them gives Blaine, on
the first ballot, 300; Grant, 200; Sher-
man 1875; Elmunds, 40; Washburne,
19; Window, u. They were certain
the vote would show just about that.
Correspondence New York Times.
As to the outcome of the contest, it
can only be said that the friends of
both the leading candidates now de-
pend for success upon accessions which
they may get when the Sherman vote
breaks. While they are thus caleulat.
ing there are many here who still hold
to the opinion that some such man as
Eimunds will, in the end, carry off the
prize. His friends profess to believe
that Grants votes will come to him
while, on their part, the advocates of
the ex. President are assured that the 10
votes from Vermont will, at an early
stage in the proceedings, Join in giving
him the victory.
From the Philadelphia TIMES.
Blaine's leaders wasted another mag
nifcent opportunity for him on Satur-
day, but he is still likely to lead on
the first ballot. Sherman's chances
depend very much upon his real rela.
tions with the Grant crowd, and he
will have to be whipped before his pre-
tensions are abated. To the list of the
prominent dark horses, which has in
cluded heretofore Bdmunds, Wash
burns and Window, who have been
rated about in the order named, is now
to be added Garfield, who deserves the
place above Window on the strength
of the kindly disposition of the conven-
ton toward him and the disposition Of
certain States to bring him forward
when a good opportunity offers by
three or four indecisiye ballots.
