the Arthur men have been pursued very quietly. They have certainly made no cXh4U | of figures; aA the while. how ! ever, displaying the eStatest confidence. 1 To each Is universally accorded the two ! leading positions Tn the race, and the problem then resolves itself, in case either one Is sufficiently rear the goal,
 tO secure enough votes from the States | named to insure a victory Friends of other candidates contend that m such sn alternative new man will likely be 1 sprung on the convention. It would
 seem that one or the other of the two ! leldinC candidates will have to begin ! the fight in the convention at the outset, | vi h nearly or quite sufficient votes to ! carry with them the nomination. Con- ! necticut declares 1t will support Hawley,
 but the impression prevails that the | strength of the State in case of an early
 break will go to Edmunds. | THE MINNESOTA DECLARATION. There was a meeting of the Minnesota | delegation at the Grand Pacific hotel at
