The Presidential Outlook.
WASHINGTON May lst-Since the State Con-
ventions were held throughout the country yes
terday and to-day, members of Congress and
politicians i'll Washington have been busy
specializing as TO the probable result at Chicago
Many members have private adyices from the
! of. Hot al,
willing to wager portions of their salaries The
estimates founded on private dispatches vary
according to whether the politicians who make
them are Tor Arthur or Blaine Some OF the
Blaine men, notably Thomas NJ. Bayne. of Penn
syVaula, are wild with estimates. and boldly
nominate the plumed knight Oh the first ballot
| Two things are generally conceded by pOliti-
clans: one i, that Arthur, if nominated ut all
can only be chosen aftera hard contest: and the
other is that it is extremely improbable that any
of the candidates viii be chosen until after seV-
cral ballots. 1t IS conceded by even BlaineS OPP
ponents that he has all the delegates counted for
him before the late Conventions met, and it is
claimed by the Maine statesmans friends that
many delegates who have since been counted
against him, have telegraphed their preference
but for many reasons are keeping shady. one
gentleman. in the confidence of Blaine. said to-
day that he called on Blaine last night, and saw
an official list of delegates in the
possession of the plumed knight made up
for his private benefit, which gave an
aggregate of different candidates as follows:
Blaine $50, Arthur Dos Edmunds 20. Logan 81
sherman 81, Harrison 26, Hawley II. doubtful
50. some of the doubtful had not been elected
when this list was prepared. Many of Blaine's
friends consider this calculation too high by
thirty votes. The doubtful element in the Con-
vention will it is believed. number at least l25
II Blaine's own estimate. therefore, be reliable
he Will have to secure most of this vote in
order to get the nomination. In case Blaine
receives the highest vote on the first ballot the
politicians here say that nothing can prevent
his nomination. Whatever BlaineS vote is il
Will come principally from those States always
Republican. Tins Will show him to be the
choice of the party. and the effect on the floating
vote in the Convention cannot fail to be instan-
taneous. Solid delegations from the following
States are counted on by his friends for Blaine

Arthur is conceded also to have Dos delegates
pledged to him. Even the plumcd knights enc

this, they say, is TO be the outcome. Making
allowances for overeStimates it is still n fact
that Blaine leads everybody in the calculations
