SOURCES OF FIELDS STRENGTH.
When asked where the votes for Judge Field
to como from, his managers reply that he is
tain to receive all the votes of he Pacific coast. with
the exception of those five or six delegates. and
those # is expected will finally fall in. The oppos
ton to Field among the Pacific coast delegates. up
to this timc. is attributed by the friends of the
Judge to a suppOsitOn that his candidacy was an
impossible one and that there was no probability
of tho nomination of man who lived behind
the Rocky Mountains. That idea, the Field men
say is now wearing away, and as it disappears tho
friends of the Judge will show themselves.
Votes for Field are expected from Maine. New
Hampshire, Vermont. Cwhcn Hancock is once out
Of the wny), and few from the other Ncw-Englaud
States. There Field supporters. lt is assorted,
in the NcwYGTk delegation, and also IN those from
Prnnsylvanin, Iowa and Wisconsin, Virginia is
claimed rs substantially solid for the Judge. and in
nearly all the Southern States there are said to be
many delegates whose first second choice il Field.
I'VE don't object to Southern delegations voting
for Bayard on the start, and az long rs they think
lie has any chance of tho nomination. We did not
come here to make squirt for Judge Field, and
then be stampedcd to some other candidate. We
came to stand by our man, and finally nominate
him." This is the declaration of one OF the Field
managers.

The Field vote on the first ballot IL rcckOned by
those friendly to the movement. at from 1870 to
200. This estimate is probably too high, but Field
Will certainly have sufficient support to make him
one of the prominent candidates before the COnycn-

vent his friends from usingall the ordinary means
