Convention Notes.

Senator Logan denies that he received a
dispatch from William Walter Phelps, offer
ing him the nomination for the Vice Presi-
dency if he would withdraw in favor of
Blaine as stated in several papers Wednes'
day. He received no dispatch of any kind
from Mr.. Phelps.
Congressman Dingley did not regard the
vote for Clayton and Lynch as strictly draw
ing line as to the relative strength OF
Blaine to that of the field candidates against
him. If the opposing forces accepted the
result in that light, they certainly demon
strated the fact that he was stronger than
even his most active supporters supposed.
The Tribune correspondent at Chicago
writing Tuesday night says: "TO sum it all
up, to. night Blaine still leads. His nomina-
tion is not only possible, but more than ever
probable. The Arthur men are discouraged
and getting ready to jump. They virtually
concede that their candidates chances are
hopeless. The dark horses. such as Logan,
still feel that their chances have not all gone.
No man can tell what the outcome will be-,
but the present outlook is Blaine
John b. Lynch, the first negro ever elected
to preside over a national convention was
looked at with much curiosity and acquitted
himself with both modesty AMI dignity. Not a
trace of African dialect was in his speech. He
seemed to be a composed and rather courtly
person. He especially announced that his
election was not significant of any choice of
candidate, because he had no bias. He wore
a standing collar, had the facial contour Of
a Southern fire-eater and the brow of a
priest.

Yesterday the work of the Chicago
convention ran along smoothly. The
platform was adopted. also the report OF
the committee on credentials. without any
iarring. and the evening session was de-

ination has now virtually been narrowed
down to Blaine and Arthur. No OZARK

that Blaine will be nominated today.

There has been good deal of discussion
about the vote for Clayton and Lynch.
The result was heralded as defeat of the
Blaine men. A careful analysis of the
whole affair does not warrant that conclu-
sion. The name Of Clayton was brought
before the national committee for temper.
ary chairman by an Arthur man from a
southern State. He was chosen by the
votes of members of the national commit
tee belonging largely in Arthur States.
He was claimed for Arthur. and as a
Southern republican it was supposed that
he would not be antsgonized by the ad-
ministration. But some of the Arthur
leaders learning that they could not direct
Clayton. resolved to antagonize him. and
in that they secured the support of the
Edmuuds men and friends OF dark horses
who were afraid that the election OF
Clayton would be taken as Blaine
success. and thus end the chances OF
any other candidate. An analysis OF
the vote cast shows that is7 Of
the 4Sa Lynch votes were cast by anti
Arthur delegates. There were five Arthur
votes given to Clayton. That leaves the
outside Administration strength at POS
votes. Just what had been conceded to
Arthur by the Blaine leaders. There
were SO Logan. Hawley and other dark.
horse delegates who voted for Clayton,
and there were IL Blaine men who sup.
ported Lynch. Deducting the former and
adding the latter to the Clayton votes
(sSs) leaves SOC rs the strength OF Blaine
on the first ballot. This is greater vote
on the first ballot than Mr.. Blaine's
friends claimed for him. So that the result
when fairly examined was encouraging
rather than discouraging to the Blaine
men and created good deal of consterna-
ton among the leaders of the opposition
