ing in the Presidential. canvass is very much
simplified. All the delegations are now on the
ground including New York and Pennsylvania
whose coming had been looked forward to with
some interest Negotiations which were carried
forward in the interest of respective
candidates yesterday, makes it clear that
the adherents of six candidates. namely
Arthur, Blaine, Edmunds, Sherman, Logan
and Hawley, have made fair measure
of their strength and deem that the present as
pect of the fight warrants them in standing by
their men. The most ardent of Arthur and
Blaine men do not now claim for them u ma
iority of the Convention. The highest figure
mentioned for Blaine is 33S and the highest for
Arthur about 323, but conservative advocates put
each figure for both under 800 This is necessary
in view of the stand taken by the Edmunds, Lo-
gan and Sherman men.
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN SELECTED.
\ session of the National Committee was held
this afternoon, when the contest cases were dlS
posed of. The committee then selected Hon.
Powell Clayton, of Arkansas, for temporary
chairman of the National Republican Conven-
ton In accepting the nomination Mr. Clayton
said: u accept it with pleasure as having no
significance whatever rs to its bearing upon the
nomination of the Presidential candidate.
In Il conversation this morning Powell Clay
ton announced that he was going to work for
Blaine.
COLLECTOR RoBERTsoN'S VIEWS
The Arkansas delegation was addressed this
morning by Collector Robertson, of New York,
who said that Blaine could certainly carry New
York, while there was doubt about Arthur be
ing able to secure it. The meeting was stormy
one. and when it adjourned without action 1t
was said that the delegation then stood nine 1or
Blaine and five for Arthur

publican districts OF the State Of New York, I'M
der the rule of direct popular representation,
have declared emphatically and unmlstakAbly
Tor James G. Blaine, and this Is their message To
the National Convention. Blame can get more
votes in the State OF New York than any other
man. and can carry the State triumphantiy. IN
analysis of the Republican representation
in the National Convention, on the basis
OF the Presidential vote of 1880, shows
that from President Arthurs own State
Il decided majority Of delegates TO the Con
vention are opposed TO his nomination; that the
overwhelming preponderance OF delegates from
the districts giving Republican maiOriticS Is tor
Blaine: that twelve Republican districts and
four Democratic districts for Blaine, and five

Blaine districts and Il $40 Democratic majority in
