Very little interest in legislation is felt at
the Capitol just now. congressman. of both
parties generally occupying one-half of the
time in discussing the situation at Chicago
and the other half in trying to learn some
thing Of what is going on there. The prevalent
impression here this evening is that the third
term movement has lost strength immensely
during the last two days, and the defeat of
the ex-President in the Convention is highly
probable, if not almost certain. Blaine's
friends claim that he gains new strength with
every detection from the Grant forces, but the
feeling between the champions of the rival
candidates is so bitter that grave doubts are
expressed by expert politicians of the success
of either of them. Conkling's hatred of
Sherman is we'll known, and the Senator from
New York has said within the last month
that he would not in any contingency assist
Sherman in New York. Window is believed
to be the second choice of the Grant mana
gers for President. Although the name of
the Senator from Minnesota was originally
mentioned to prevent the Blaine men from
capturing the delegation from that State,
Window it is thought will be supported
earnestly by Conkling and Logan, if they are
compelled to abandon their favorite.
