lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRrBUSE.I
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The estimate. published In
The TRIBUNE to-day of the strength of the several
Republican Presidential candidates, as shown by
the number of delegates in favor of each who have
already been chosen, has attracted much attention
here this afternoon and evening. The tables were
scanned with great interest by members of the
House of Representatives especially, and several
strong friends of the two leading candidates ex.
pressed the opinion that THE TRIBUNEs estimate Is
o fair and trustworthy one. ~
A New-York Congressman, who is strong Grant
man, referring to the fact that THE TRIBUNE gives
Blaine fourteen votes in the New-York delegation,
admitted that it might be correct. He could under
stand, he said, that an overwhelming public senti-
ment against General Grant, in any particular dis
trict would be quite as likely to he more powerful
with the delegates from that district than any in
structions of State Convention. He still thought,
however, that General Grants prospects for the
nomination were fair unless he failed to geta seid
delegation from Illinois.
Another Congressman. who Is o warm friend OF
Senator Blaine, said {" l think THE TRIBUNB's est-
mate is as fair a be made. both for Blaine
and for the other candidates. The Blaine esti-
mate claims some votes which do not think he
will receive. ! am afraid, however, that The
TRIBUNE has given Blaine too many votes from
Maryland | think he awill get four instead OF siS
votes from that State"
The Grant men in the House are waiting with un.
concealed anxiety to hear the result of the primary
elections which were held In Chicago to-day An
Illinois Congressman received dispatch from Chi
cagO this morning saying that the struggle between
the Grant and anti-Grant men would be desperate
