IT is said the Blaine managers, who
ever they may be, are having a difficult
task in deciding how to distribute the
votes which they claim to have a mort
gage on. As the convention comes close
at hand it begins to look as though those
gentlemen would be relieved of any
great amount of anxiety over the matter.
There are doubtless large majority of
the delegates who are Blaine men, and
who, had that gentleman consented to
let his name be used, would have earn
estly supported him. But Mr.. Blaine
has positively withdrawn, and the dele
gates referred to are men who will use
their own brains and ears and observa-
ton in forming second choice. They
will do their own voting without dicta-
ton or assistance from anybody's mana
gers
