PRESS COMMENTS.
The Tribune says last nights demon
stration and vote on. adjournment shows
Blaine's great strength and indicates his
nomination.
The Inter- Ocean says the situation is
practically unchanged; that the southern
delegates remain firm to Arthur and that
Blaine's forces stick with great tenacity;
that the Sherman, Logan and Edmunds
men are waiting and hoping for break
in Arthur or Blaine's forces.
The Times refrains from predictions,
but says none of the nominating speech
es equalled Conkling and Garfield four
years ago. 1t is generally thought q
result will not be reached to-day, unless
there should be second session. Blaine
men predict his nomination on the second
or third ballot.
