The chances OF Blaine receiving the
nomination for President at Chicago are
certainly no better than they were az
Cincinnati four years ago. On the first
ballot at Cincinnati, in 1876, Blaine re-
ceived the solid vote Of Colorado, Della
ware, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland,
Minnesota. Nebraska, Oregon, Wiscon-
sin, Arizona, Dakota, Idaho, Montana,
New Mexico, Utah and Washington
On seven ballots Colorado, Delaware,
Nebraska, Kansas, Maryland, Maine,
Oregon, and all the Territories named
except Montana, voted solidly for
Blaine, but he did not receive single
vote from Indiana, Kentucky, Nevada,
Ohio. Vermont and Wyoming Terri
tory,
On the second ballot he gained p
votes and lost Is, making his net gain
] ! votes and increasing his vote from
2S5 Oh the frst ballot to 29G.
Or the third ballot he gained 5 votes
and lost s, reducing his total vote to
; 1913.
On the fourth ballot he gained votes
and lost 5, reducing his total vote to
292. .
On the fifth ballot he gained 10 votes
and lost 10, making his total vote 6 less
thar on the previous ballot.
Or the sixth ballot his gain was 81
votes and his losses were 0, making his
total vote 30S.
On the seventh and last ballot Blaine
gained 81 votes, which would made his
total vote $40, or one more than ma
jority, but 10 delegates who voted for
him on the sixth ballot, voted for
Hayes on the seventh and gave him the
nomination.
The six votes of Nevada were inva-
riably cast against Blaine at Cincinnati,
but they are instructed to be given to
him at Chicago.

beside himself, poor lad, with grief, and
shame, and uncertainty how to act. At one

cloth, but of rich blue velvet, curl!
ously embroidered, his sash of rich
blue silk and his hat bound with q
broad silver ribbon. The unity OF his
costume was somewhat marred by
black cloth trousers and Q pair of kid
boots of Partisan make. But il the
groom was a splendid sight, what shall

gorgeous. She literally blazed with
gold and silver laces and ribbons,
spangles of all colors and silk en-

of green and yellow. Nor was she
alone in her magni6cence; many OF the
guests were as brilliant as she. Two
