INITIAL STRENGTH.
1t is almost impossible TO make an Az
curate estimate Of the initial strength
OF candidates, as claims of the most
connictinR character are put forth by
,ne friends OF the various aspirants.
bradshaw will undoubtedly lead on the
nrst ballot. His friends claim fifty-six
votes, but they are evidently here IN
claim everything and claim IL with
confidence" and neither his eppouents
nor outside observers are willing to CON
cede ~ much to the man from Jeffer-
son. Armstrong; strength il not 40
great, but his followers form compact
and determined body, which must
weld q powerful influence in the CON
V"ntion. The BreHts men make a pre-
tense OF confidence, bat they are evil
dehtiy casting around for a second
cnoice. In fact this seems to be their
chief amusement, and 1t does not augur
wen Tor Mr.. Brents. Friends of the
otner candidates will make no estimates.
Ihsy are all evidently diminishing
arouna the outskirts with dark horse
ireams In their heads. They do not
want to make any antagonists and
tney seek Tor crumbs. Following will
90 found brief statements from which
some idea Of the
POSITION OF EACH DELEGATION

loea OF the situation may be obtained.
