The Talk To-day.


The results of the several state conventions
held yesterday are the subject OF good deal Of
comment among the politicians. The Blaine
men generally feel elated over the same, and
claim that their favorite has forged considera-
bly, ahead. There is no doubt but that the New
Hampshire delegation, headed by VIM. E.
Chandler, will stand by Names Senator first,
last and all the time. Blaine's friends now claim
that he will have over forty of New EnglandS
eighty solid votes. AT the Cincinnati conven-
tiOn OF 1876 ne did not have half that number.
The friends OF Mr.. Blaine claim, too, that they
will have Maryland and Delaware solid, and
that when the tug of war comes in the c0nven-
tion they will have nearly all the Wisconsin
delegation.
The democrats seemed to be a little mixed
II is true that Senator Thurman was endorsed
and OhiO'S delegation was requested to vote for
him and as unit, it is likewise true that the
four delegates at large are not what can be
claSsed loyal Thurman men. first, last and all
the time. Wade, one OF the delegates at large
is Payne man. Gen. Steedman, OF Toledo
has weakness for Tilden; McSweeny is claimed
as Jewett man, and Durbin Ward is an old
bourbon, who thinks the so called fraud or 1876
should be righted. The Hamilton county dele
cation elected Tilden delegates headed by Judge
1Ioadley. The Ohio situation is summed up about
thus: That While Senator Thurman can have
the Ohio delegation solid so long as there is a
chance TO nominate him: that ii IL becomes ap-
parent that there is no probability OF Thur.
mans success, the bulk of the delegation will
60 TO Tlden-all OF it in fact IL the unit rule is
followed out. 1t is certain that the delegates al
large elected are not the list Of delegates Sena-
tor Thurman would nave preferred to have
been sent TO Cincinnati. The probability Is that
they were elected by a combination between tins
Tilden and Payne men.
The Grant men claim. half OF the Maryland
delegation, and votes also in Wisconsin. 1t is
evident though that the gains made by Blaine
have alarmed them They had expected the
Tennessee delegation solid, and feel chagrned
that it is broken. They had also expected more
substantial" support in Mississippi. Notwith
standing these losses they still affect conf
dence which is refreshing to the Grant follow
erS, as it is eXaSperating to the other candi-
dates They say Grant Will be nominated on
the first ballot and that is all there is about it.
1t is noticeable though that with all their exul-
tant confidence they are little feverish about
Illinois, and admit that it is the key OF the stu
alton; but that the Illinois delegation will be
solid for Grant.
The Sherman men feel even more conf 1ent
than ever. They reason that Grant cannot bt
nominated on the first ballot, and that then the
combination will be made to defeat Blaine the
net result Of which will be that Secretary Sher
man will be the beneficiary. On the other hand
there are diSpaSsiOnate observers who say thai
the very possibility Of BlaineS nomination
makes General Grants nomination a certainty
