Adding these to 349, they make Blaine's
strength 564. This is claimed as the de-
Yelopment of the test vote in Exposition
HAL, and upon this the Blaine men base
their confidence. They do not. however

The Inter Ocean to-day says: "The fight
In 1850 is about to be renewed. The ele-
ments of that day are entered into this.
The indOmitable forces of that day are the
vital elements of to-day, and, like the
reaching shadow of promise, coming
events have fairly been forecast"
The same special says that the re-
ferences in Chairman HendersOn's speech
TO the different candidates were greeted
with applause, which made the building
ring, excepting when he alluded to Sena-
tor John Sherman, when the enthusiasm
became very tame. This circumstance is
construed to mean that the sentiment of
EDMUNDs GOES TO BUY A HORSE.
SenacOr Edmunds left this morning for
WarrentOn, Va, where he expects to
purchase a saddle horse. His departure
at this time upon such an errand was a
subject of a great deal of comment at the
capitol to-day, and some joking remarks
as to whether the horse would be dark or
not were made. Edmunds said before he
left that he did not think either he or
Sherman would be nominated.
SENATOR sHERMAN's HOPES.
Senator Sherman was not at all sur
prised at the positive refusal of his
brother to allow his name to be con-
sidered. He said that he had known all
along that Gen. Sherman would not per-
init the use fhls name. In reply to the
remark that many persons deemed his
nomination most probable, Senator Sher-
man said that if Blaine and Arthur fail,
and 1t becomes necessary to take up
somebody else, he had reason to think
that he might be chosen. He said that he
knew that he would get most of the
Southern votes in the event of a break
from Arthur, and that he Sherman is
strong in the East, where Logan is not,
and where it is very important to have
voting strength in order to carry
the election. Senator Sherman
did not credit @the statement
published in some of the papers that there
was row in the Ohio delegation last
night, growing out of the unwillingness
of the Blaine men to support him. He
was satisfied that he could and would
have the hearty support of the Ohio
delegation if his name should be pre-
sented to tine convention.
THE OTHER CANDIDATES.
The other candidates spent the day
quietly reading and showing kilograms
from Chicago. Postmaster General
Gresham reiterated to everybody that he
was not a candidate while President
Arthur was in the field. He spent some
time at the White House to-day. The
President does not consider himself out
of the race by any means.
Cameron Fights Turner and strObach.
CHICAGO, June 4, 11:45 P. M.-George
Turner, of Alabama, this evening as
saulted Brewster Cameron, eX-Chief EX-
ecutive Of the United States Department
OF Justice, in the rOtunda of the Grand
Pacific Hotel. Cameron turned upon
him and struck him n severe blow upon
the head with a cane. Paul StrObach, OF
Alabama, seeing that his friend was
getting the worst of the encounter, began
punching Cameron with his umbrella.
The latter, however, was fully equal to
the occasion and came out first best in
the fight. The occasion for the assault,
Cameron says, was the evidence which
he was compelled to give before the Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Depart
