Guessing the Chicago Nominees-A Wide
Divergence of Opinion.
The following responses to inquiries
made of the press of the country, will
show wide divergence of editorial opin-
ion on the probable choice of the Re-
publican and Democratic National Con-
ventions:
"CHIcAoo, April a1.-Judging by the
action of our Peoria convention and by
the prevailing sentiment in this State,
we are attracted to the conclusion that
General Logan will be the Republican
nominee, and that the Democrats will
nominate Tilden il the doctors will agree
to keep him alive until after the election.
'TRIBuNE."
"DErRoIT, MIcH., April 2..-Our OBJ
ssrvation leads us to the opinion that
Arthur and Blaine will go into the Re-
publican National Convention with
nearly an equal number of votes; that
the former is more likely to attract addi-
tional support than the latter, and that
he stands an even chance Of getting
the nomination, Edmunds being likely
to receive it if Arthur does not. The
Democratic situation is not we'll enough
defined to admit of any opinion.

"CHIcAGo, ILL.,, April 21.-It is
thought that the friends of President
Arthur will control the national conven-
ton. AS figured, Of the 57S delegates
already elected more than one half are
for Arthur, about one fourth for Blaine.
OF the $50 delegates to be elected the in
dicstions are that Arthur will secure
more than half. The outlook at present
is that the nominees of the convention
will be Arthur and Lincoln.

"PHILADELPHIA, April 27.-1t is 4 &C.
as-you please guess race on both sides |
and any average three-y year old would be
as likely to hit as the wisest. Beyond |
the fact that Blaine met his Waterloo
by Pennsylvania perfdy and Arthur
was crucited in New York nothing
seems settled on the Republican side and
lust nothing at all on the Democratic
side. THE TINES"
"Sr. LOUIS. April 27.-Robert Lincoln
has better change for the Republican
mammalian than any man yet named. II
not Lincoln it will be some great ua-
known AS to the Democratic candi- !
date the accepted leader Of six months
ago seems to have been killed off. and il
will be pure case Of lightning stroke to
whoever gets it. GLQrE- DEMOCRAT"
"ATLANTA, Ga, April, 27-Republi-
cans will nominate James Blaine, OF
Maine, and the Democrats Samuel Jones
Tilden and your Uncle Samuel will bring
the man frcm Maine into Camp.
"C9NsTlTuTIoN."
"MIIwAuhEE, April a?.-General Sher-
man. Linpolp or some dark horse eaudi-
date is more likely to receive the Ite-
publican nomination than blaine, Ar.
thur or Edmunds. Tilden seems to be
the choice of the democrats.
"SENTINEI,"
'BnsTos, April .1.-Indieations point
to the nomination of Lincoln OF Arthur
as the Republican, and to Butler or
Cleveland as the Democratic nominee
"EDlToH GLoHE.'
"Dss Moiues, a., April give be.
lievs that Blaine viii he the Republican
nominee for President. 1t is universally
admitted that if Tldsn does not accept
the Democratic animation, rs now seems
a foregone conclusion, we expect to see
Randall chosen. If Tilden declines, the
Iowa Democratic delegation, made up
mainly of freetraders, will doubtless
prefer Mcdonald to Randall In the
