OPINIONS OF SOUTHERN DELEGATES.
MANY OF THEM 70 SUPPORT BLAINE AFTER THE
FIRST BALLOT.

CHICAGO. Juno l." We cannot afford said eX
Congressman Lynch of Mississippi to disregard
the preference Of the Northern Republicans and we
shall not do so. While majority of the Allssls-
sipp delegates viii pf0oaoy wore foT Artnur On the
first ballot a number of them will 60 to Blaine on
the second ballot if the result of the first shall show
that he leads the poll in the Republican states.
Ex-senator Bruce IS OF course, loyal TO the Pres1-
dent but he is not unfrieldly to Blaine, and be
heve he support him as soon as 1t becomes apparent
that Arthur is not the choice of a majority of the
Northern delegates do not think there is any
danger that Arthur will receive the nomi-
nation on the first ballot" On that bal
lot it is understood that Mr.. Lynch Will
vote for Arthur because he mas permitted the I'M
preston to g. out that he favors the Presidents
candidacy. he is. however, friendly to Blaine.

and d. T. J. Matthews and john A. Galbriath mail
route agents On the first ballot 1t Is believed,
Arthur viii receive seventeen votes and Blaine one
vote, and on the second ballot Blaine Will receive
at least i've of the Mississippi votes
BLAINE's VOTE n GEORGIA.
This afternoon there was trustworthy Informa-
ton of considerable break in the Georgia delcGa-
ton showing a strong probability that Blaine will
receive SIX votes on the first ballot The cause OF
this break seems to be one which is operating some
what generally on the minds of the Southern dele
gates A number of the most intelligent men among
them including several who office-holders, have
been busy to-day urging upon their colleagues that
II will Boz the part of wisdom for the delegates from
the non Republican States of the South 10 divide
their votes among two three of the leading candi-
dates Blaine, Arthur and Logan. Then, after there
has been an ocia! expression Of the prefer nccs OF
the delegates from the Republican States 70 throw
tie Southern vote as far practicable on the sec
oud or third ballot for the candidate who shows
the greatest strength in the Republican States
This reasoning seems to have produced some effect
and il is not unlikely to result in the failure Of
Arthur to receive the solid vote OF more than one
OF two Southern states on the first ballot.
HOW THE LOUISIANA VOTE Is DISTRIBUTED.
careful canvass of the Louisiana delegation by
a prominent Republican from that State this fore
noon showed that Blaine had t, Logan and Ar
thur o on the first ballot with indications that the
second ballot will yield at least u votes for Blaine
This canvass was shown to ex-Congrcssman Sypher
and he said: d" / shall not be surprised If Blaine
receives lG votes from Louisiana on tho second
ballot provided the first ballot shows that he leads
in the Republican States he is very popular in
Louisiana and If he be nominated a good
many dissatisfied Democrats will vote for him.
On the latter point ex-Congressman Lynch re-

A SOLID VOTE ~ WEST VIRGINIA.
On the same point NJ. c. C.. Church one of the
West Virginia delegates, said The Republicans
of West Virginia admire Mr. Blaine for his pro-
nounccd position in seconding the south American
policy of the late President Garfield In that policy
was crystallized the Monroe doctrine the mani
fest destiny of Mr.. Douglas, and 1t foreshadows
the grand confederation of States Oh the American
continent. If he is elected no European State VIII

felIow-citizens, who number many thousands in
West Virginia are enthusiastic in his support be-
