Pennsylvania to-day. and a revival OF
his presidential candidacy Is likely to

arrival of the South Carolina delega-
tion, which Is Instructed to vote for
him. The Bland followers are making
the exereme claim that their candidate
will be nominated by acclamation.
There IL talk Of concentrating the op-
position to Bland. Early In the day
there was talk that Senator Turple
might inherit Matthews strength when
II was known that his nomination could
not be made. The Boies men are con-
fident that Bland cannot win on the
first ballot. They are making up some
lost ground by reconciling the differ
ences among their leaders.
