prospects Of the Candidates.

CHICAGO, June 2.-The situation this
morning In the presidential canvass is
very much simplltiej. All the del
eqstions are now on the ground,

cf the respective candidates yesterday,
makes ii clear that the adheren,s Of si$
Of the candidates. namely. Arthur,
blaine, Edmpnds, Sherman, Logan and
Hawiey, haze made 2 iair MEASURE OF
their strength, and deem that the pres
sut aspect Of the fight warrants them in
standing by their men. The most ardent
admirers Of Arthur aud Blaine do not
now claim for them majority of the
Convention. The highest figure mon
toned for Blaine is 33S and the highest
for Arthur about 325. but the conserva.
tive advocates put euch figure for
both under 300. This is neces-
sary in view Of the stand taken by
the Edmunds, Logan and sherman men.
The tide il strongly in the direction of
n new man, while the Edmunds men
now pin their faith strongly to their
candidate. 1t is openly declared that
.Ae Gresham movement. if properly sup
hoftetl by Indiana, Michigan, Misrons p
And Minnesota, would probably carry
with it the total acquired by Edmpnds
strength. It is not thought, however,
that Gresham will be named by Indiana,
That delegation, it is now believed, vi
present the name of Harrison, but will
really support Gresham at any oppor-
tune time, and it is believed II the Post
mas:es-G General is named it will be by
WISCONSIN or one Of the pronounced
