REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Filth Nay.

oVO on tne INST Ua1lOt, out urge that IL
viii increase on subsequent roll calls, and
that they viii win as soon as the friends |
of Sherman and other nominees who are
lower in the list shall see the contest Is
between Grant and Blaine. The friends /
of the latter do not talk, but appear TO |
be equally confident and resolute. 1t |
looks to-day as if their poll might lead
Grants on the first ballot, but no predic- |
ton viii be safe in the present condition
of affairs.

short in West Virginia, and it was un-
derstood to be because of the absence of
one delegate

to make statement as to the vote, but
it was ruled out of order and he then
cast the vote Immediately afterwards.
