TALKS WITH TIE DELEG ATES.
Confident OPINIONS THAT MR.. BLAINE WILL BE
NOMINATED.
nrrEL.gRArH TO THE TRrsUSE.l

absent delegates The majority OF those present
are Blaine mon. but there is large representation
of Federa officials probably $50, who make up IN
talk what would otherwise be lacking for the Pres
ident because of the smaller number of Arthur del
egates present. The following expressions OF opn-
ions by delegates will give fair idea of the cur
rent of talk IN the hotel corridors:
Ex-Speaker Galusha A. Grow. of Pennsylvania,
looking unusually well pleased, said Blaine is
certain to be nominated. 1t may be on
the first ballot. think certain on the second He
ismakng great gains in the South. He will get
46 votes from Pennsylvania on the first ballot"
TnE OUTLOOK IN SEVERAL STATES.
Congressman Bayne, of Pittsburg, grows more
confident with each arrival of delegates. Make
no mistake" lie said. Blaine will be nominated
on the first or second ballot 1t looks now as
though he would get 81 votes from Pennsyl-
vania but he is certain of 46. In Massachu-
setts we have the promise to-day Of number Of ad
ditional votes as Edmunds Is ont OF the
way"
MIR. Dudley, eff Camden N. j., and Consul to Liv-
erpool who voted for Lincoln III the convention OF
1860 and who drew the tariff plank in the plat
form then adopted, is here for Blaine 1.-The scnti-
ment of New-Jersey is undoubtedly for Blaine he
said. IF the delegates correctly represent that
sentiment they will all vote for Blaine, but only
two of them have yet arrived One of those is an
ex-Postmaster at Jersey City, who talks Lincoln.
The other delegate here talks Edmunds. The Blaine
men are greatly in the majority IN the DELEGATION
However he may get the entire vote OF the state"
Ex-senator Thomas c. Plat, of New-YOr& sal d;
''The Arthur men may clam asInany votes as they
please in New-York. but when the roll IS called
they will find themselves in a mR ority. Blaine
will have IS sure votes and probably 20 on the
first ballot. and he may have more but these are
certain. Then there is the Albany contest. They

REPUBLICAN SUCCESS IN NEw-YORK
In regard TO Mr.. Blaine's ability TO carry New
York Mr.. Platt said: "The Republican
masses in the rural districts are for him,
districts are for him. and other candidate who
could be named Will excite the same enthusiasm.
A large section of the old Stalwarts are now for
Blaine The men who are for Arthur are men who
never bolt a ticket They Will come into line for
Blaine As solidly as they will for anybody else be-
fore election day. and for every kicker who does
bolt Blaine will get two Irish votes IN exchange.
As regards President Arthur, he virtually
ran in New-York two years ago. Judge
Folgcr was the representative of his Adj
mnistTation, and the votes cast against him
were intended to bea rebuke to the Administration.
I have no doubt that Blaine could carry New
York BY many thousands. but l 90 doubt whether
Arthur could carry it at all"
Ex-Conorcssman BageY said: The Garfield
Republicans are 4 unit for Blaine, and the
largest and most influential portion
of the Stalwart faction are to-day urging
Blane's nomination. 1t is said that both General
Grant and Roscoe Conkling are for HIM. number
of oiicehclders are urging ArthuTs claims,
but they will fall into line after Blaine
Is nominated. There are other things which
will make it certain that Blaine can

CHANCES OF 1uE OHIO CANDIDATE.
Judge J. y. Foraker, of Ohio, said that he would
present Sherman's name to the Convention and
the other delegates though not boastful, were
hopeful for his nomination. There was not a single
Arthur delegate from Ohio and Sherman would
carry the State by Oyerwhen-
Ing majority The wool men were not at
all satisfied with Arthur and would
not support him as encrgeticaly as they would
Sherman. The delegates were hostile to no caudi-
date they were simply favorable to Sherman. Mr..
Foraker said that no Sherman headquarters would
be opened. but the interests of the Ohio man would
not be neglected.

choice, but what good does my vote or my influence
do in Missouri for Republican candidate for Pres
identi The State is hopelessy Democratic, rotten
borough, and should have no leading voice in
the selection of a candidate. The Northern Repub-
lcans should have great deal TO say in the matter
and what Is more, one of the popular candidates
should get the nomination. / am tired of seeing
the Republican convention made slaughter-hOuse
for the best men. The vote of New-York. Pennsyl-
yania and Ohio should be carefully considered
when nomination is being made"
TRYING TO CONVINCE MIR. sCnUEz.
Among the arrivals to-day was Congressman
Uorr of Michigan, who heads the delegation from
his State. Among his travelling companions were
Carl Schurz and George William Curtis and accord
ing to accounts given by others who
were present the three men named engaged
in very long and lively debate.
Mr. Horn took up the cudgel for Blaine and used it
effectively, but did not succeed IN convincing Mr..
schurz At last Mr.. Horr exclaimed: The
trouble with you Is that you are not a Republican.
You say that you will not support Blaine If he is
nominated N0N here Is convention composed posed Of

1cans who desire TO promote the welfare OF

delegates who is claimed for Arthur and
he tod me that while he might
Individually prefer Arthur, he should vote for

near the entrance to the Arthur headquarters, was
