A. the time draws near for the
assembling Of the National Repub-
lican convention, the interest felt in
the choice to be there made of a
standard-bearcr in the forthcoming
political contest is daily increasing.
1t is now quite apparent that, while
Mr.. Blaine is almost sure to be de-
feated, Gen. Grant may also possibly
fail in getting the nomination, not
wiehstanding nearly one-half the del
egates to the convention are in.
structed for him. The delegations
from a dozen or more States are d.
vided, and it is impossible to predict
for what candidate many of them
will cast their votes. The leading
newspapers of the country, in their
attempts to figure out the vote in the
convention on the first ballot, vary
IN their estimates from twenty to one
hundred votes, although the State
conventions have now all been held,
and the preferences of the delegates
carefully canvassed. Should Gen.
Grant fail to receive the domination,
the convention-is quite as. likely to
take up Senator Windom-as any other
available candidate.
