pe Spee EM Se ‘THE SOUTH. AGlance at the Political Preferences of the Southern Delegates, MORTON OR CONKLING THE FAVORITE. The Will of the Administration Paramount. DELAWARE. TO WHOM HER SIX VOTES AT CINCINNATI WILL BE GIVEN—¥IVE FOR BLAINE AND ONE FOR BRISTOW—POSSIBILITIES FOR SEC- OND CHOICE—CONKLING, WASHBURNE OB BRISTOW. Wituixarox, June 9, 1876, The problem of the political situation in Delaware, on the republican side at least, is a comparatively sim- ple one, The whole of the little State forins but one Congressional district, and she sends only six dele- gates toa nattonal convention. Having two Senators at Washington, Delaware is entitled to four Senatorial delegates, or delegates at large, as they might be called, if it were not a contradiction in terms to apply the word to so smajl a State, Her Representative in the House gives her two representative delegates, making up the six mombers of the Convention to which she is entitled. INSTRUCTED FOR BLAINE, Tho republican State Convention of Delaware in- Btructed its delegates to vote for Blaine for the Presi- fiency. The large jority of the Convention were Blaine men, and that they represented the groater por- tion of the republicans of Delaware a hasty canvass of the State leaves little cause to doubt, There is, how- over, a vigorous, intelligent and independent minority, whose choice would probably be Bristow, although it is more apti-Blaine with them than for Bristow. The Aggressive Secretary is, perhaps, their favorite; but, failing to secure his nomination, they would be satistted with Conkling, as a man above reproach, or with Hayes or Washburne in the ordor named. This minority of the party bas at least one delegate out of the six who £0 to Cincinnati. STRONG YOR BLAINE. The delegate irom the First district, Nowcastle county, is James Scott of Wilmington, He isa lead. ing business man, a morocco manufacturer, a man of wealth and respectability, not much in politica hereto- fore, He is very decidedly for Blaine, and will stick by him to the last, being a man of great tenacity of pur- pose, and not easily influenced when he has onco lormed w resolution, He 1s probably the leading spirit bf the delegation. “I am for Blaine,” he said, in answer to my ques- tion, “simply because I believe him to be one of the ablest men in the country.” “Havn’t the proceedings before the Judiciary Com- mittee shaken your Jaith?”’ “Not in the slightest degree (firmly). On the con- trary, I think recent events will draw Mr. Blaine’s iriends closer to him than ever.” “If it should be found that he cannot secure the Bominatiop, who would be your second choice ?’’: 4 “Ido not lixe to admit the possibility of that. 1 have no second choice. I am so sincerely for Blaine that I have not thought of any ono else, and do not want any other man.’” " “Would you favor Conkling?” “Under no circumstances,” “Bristow ??? “No, I think hee, is a good man. Washburne, too, mightdo. But 1 can’t teil wll we get to Cincin- * pati whom I might accept if we can’t get Blaine. Our delegation 1s instructed forhim. The resolution passed the Convention by a large majority and we shall vote- for him,” BLAINE AND IR. The other delegate trom Newcastle county is Richard E. Smith, of Middletown, where he keeps the railroad vating house at the station, He is also firmly com- mitted to Blaine, and is almost as determined a man oy Mr. Scott. As long as the latter gentleman stands by bis favorite Mr. Smith will be likely to do the same. ‘I am stronger for Blaine now than I wus at the time pf the Convention,” he suid to me yesterday, as I ia- \erviewed him, while he helped me to some Villanous pie. “I shall’ support him as long as there is any thance of bis electioun—have some more pie !—these attacks upon him have made me more his [riend than ‘ho would be your second choice ?”” “Well, L think, Hartranit,”” “How about Conkling.” “IT woulan’t vote for him anyway. Why? Because ‘we feel that he has been the supporter of Grant’s ad- ministration through thick and thin, and there have been a great many things—bave another glass of milk? —during Grant’s last term that we object to. Yes, Conkling 1s too much identified with the present administration. Another thing—and this bas settled his business—his triends about here have been pitching into Blaine. We might have goue over to Conkling at Cincinnati if Blaine cannot be nominated, but we never will now, Two sandwiches in a box, sir’—yes sir.” “What of Bristow ?”” Weil, he did have some strength; but since his party, ‘too, havo taken sides against Blaine we don’t take to them. " “And Washburne and Morton ?”” “Oh, they are never mentioned down here,” STILL BLAINE. John H. Hoffecker, who lives at Smyrna, Kent county, isthe third on the list of delegates, lo isa moan of means and a respectable citizen, who bas never taken much part in republican politics in this tradi- tionally democratic county. Mr. Hoflecker 18 a little Jess decided in his admiration of fiaine than Scott and Smith, but he is for him, There i a sentiment in favor of Bristow among some of the republicans in that vicinity of Smyrna, and some of Mr, Hoffocker’s neighbors think that at Cincimnati, after he has dis- charged the duty of voting for Blaiue, according to the instructions of the Convention, ne be induced to go for Bristow if his vore wili help the fortunes of that gentleman, Mr. Hoflecker settled this point, howe by de- claring be woaultl not vote for Bristow, Blaine was his candidate, andghe should not vote for any one else if he could heip it. Conkling he did not like, because he was too much of a puiitician, and nota popalar man. Malligan’s attack on Blaine had resulted in gaining friends tur him, not 1p injuring him, POR BLAINE, BUT— The fourth on the list, the second delegate from Kent county, 18 ex-Congressiuan James KR, Lotland, of Mul- ford. He is said to be a very warm iriend of Judge Fisber, ex-Untied states District Auorney at Washing- ton, of Dick Harrington, and generally of the novor- ous District Ring. Mr. Lofand 1s for Blame, und stutes that he hus no second choice; but it 1s believed among those who sbould know that if bis friend Governor Shepherd should bo at Cincinnati and should desire it Mr. Votlaud will support Conkling. Under no circum. stances would he vote for Bristow. Mr. Lotland was in Congress when Blaine was Speaker, and he was ap- ted by him on the Distrret Committee, much to is gratification. It 1s fair to assume, therelore, that his [riendship for Mr. Blaine 1s sincere and that his vote will be given to Mr, Blaine unless something un- foreseen should occur. SHARP FOR BLAINE, The first delegate from Sussex county is Eh Sharp, who lives at Seaford, and until lately was 3m iff of the county. Perscnaity his first choice is Blaine, and he says that he wili cheerfully obey his tnstrac- tion, After Blaine, if 1t must be so, he has not quite made up bis mind whom be will serve, A BRIATOW MAN. The other Oe irom Ubis county—the last on the list—is David Moore, a wealthy sbipbuvder of Laurel, away down near tho Maryjand Ime. He 1s the one delegate to whom | referred above as being known to be for Bristow, or, what ‘haps defines the senti- ment better, anti-Blaine. Dr. irettyman was urged as the delegate from this county; bat whet the resolution ‘was passed at the State Convention, after a hot debate, Maing him incligible because he is an office-bolder, Prottyman’s iriends obtained the right to select another name in caucus, Moore was the one chosen, and aficr be bas voted tor Blaine, as per instruction, be will go over to Bristow, and will work jor him, too. THE RESULT, rom the above it will be scen that all the delegates from Delaware, save one, With a possibility of another, have Biaine for their first choice. ‘Two of them would Consent to Coukling a8 a second, two will not voto for bin under any circumstances, several preter Bristow for second, ‘and one delegate is “tor Bristow all the VIRGINIA. ‘WHO THE DELEGATES ARE AND WHOM THEY WILL SUPPORT—BLAINE LOSING GROUND AND OONKLING GAINING SIRENGTH—A FORECAST OF THE ACTION OF THE DELEGATION. Ricumoxn, June 6, 1976. The republican delegation from Virginia to Civcin- buti is in a quandary, As will be seen from the inter- views ¢ below, and which were obtained by a corps Ol reporters specially engaged oa bebalf of the HxRALD, a majority of the delegates were Biaino men, but it would not astoawh me now it this majority were re- duced to a very small minority at Cincinnati. ‘This change bas occurred within the past tew days, and fs attributed to the RECENT CABINET CHANGES, the effect of which is already visible 10 its results on the Presidential question, and will seriously interfere with Mr. Blaine’s chances, His triends appear to have been thrown Into despair and to havo lost the courage _ NEW YORK acceptable to the administration, But now they seom to accept the unwelcome truth of the matter and are ready to lay aside their prejudices and submit to the inevitable. The fact is that among republicans here the belief is becoming general that BLAINE WILL BE BEATEN, They see in the recent changes an agreement of the three great States of New York, Pennsylvania apd Ohio to ight the nomination of Mr. Blaine, and are begin- ning to realize the suicidal policy of opposing the force of these States backed by the administration, Some of Blaine’s friends are also of opinion that to nominate iim over the head of the President would be hazardous of the foal result, as they fear indifference even of the President would so encourage the democratic leaders of the South that every strongbold of republicanism would be stormed and carried by the use of whatever means might be necessary to that ead, DELEGATES AT LARGE, Ex-Senator Joun F. Lewis, who resides at Harris- sonburg, in the Shenandoah Valley, heads the list of the delogatic large to the Ciacimnat: Convention, Untortunately, he bas been absent from the State for the past ys, but lam informed by bis son-in-law, ex-Congressman John Ambler Smith, that Mr. Lewis' first choice for the, Presidency is Vliver P, Morton; his second, Roseoe Conkling, and that be will go into no convention to support Blaine. This I regard as per- fectly authentic, having heard the ex-Senator express similar preterences at the Lynchburg Convention. As yet he has no third choice, Among the delegates ut large is Wiuttam N. Steveys, colored, who haw represented a Senatorial district in thoGeneral Assembly of the State for several terms, aud it was in recognition of his marked ability, his eminent services as a republican and a Senator, together with the essential qualities that distinguished him as a colored man for the position that caused Mr. Stevens to be elected xs a delegate at large, He is, perba| the best representative of his race within the broad confines of the Old Dominion, and one in whose hands their interests and wellare, both civil and politically, will be safe. Mr, Stevens resides at Stony Creek, in Sussex counsy, and in response to a letter addressed to him by the Henan correspondent regarding his choice for a candidate for the Presidency he replied in the fol- Jowing manly and concise letter:— Sroxy Cuxxk, Sussex County, May 20, 1876. Drar Sin—Your favor of the 19th inst., in which you wish to ascertain my "“irst, second and third choice for the re- publican candidate for the Presidency,” ix reeeived, and 1876, would have been responded to earlier but for my absence from home, In reply I beg leave to stute that my individual preference 1s for seuutor Morton; but a decent rezard for ‘would constrain ntiment ean My second und third choice the sentiment of th me to vote for Mr. made effectual at Cincinnati. will be determined to ® greater or less extent by a fall and tree interch: of opinion with delogat other States, Iam, sir, respectfully, W, N, STEVENS, A Hxratp representative paid a visit to Salem, Fau- quier county, for the purpose of ascertaining the views of Colonel Richard H. Carter, one of the delegates from the State at large to the Cinemnati Convention. Un- fortunately, that gentleman was absent at Chicago aud ‘was not expected to return for several days, From a personal and intimate political friend of his, howeve: the information*was obtgined that Mr. Blaine wi Colonel Carter’s first choice and Bristow, probably, bh second, as ho had been heard to say so, As to bi third choice, the Henatp’s informant could not say. Mr. W. H. Stowe., the remaining delegate at large, says the delogution stands eighteon for Blaine, two for Morton and two for Conkling, but that, under the reso- lution of the appoluting convention, the twei will vote a8 a unit for Blaine, fr, Stowell will voto as tollows:—Blame is his first choice and Ha: his sec- und chvice; he has not yet made up his mind as to his third choice, as he gays himself, “The Great Un- known." DISTRICT DELEGATES, FIRST DISTRICT, The readers of the Hxratp will recollect that ex- Congressman J, B. Senex, the anti-civil rights repre- sentative from the First district in this State, figured at the Lynchburg Repubitcan Convention as its perma- nent chairman, He was x rotten boroagh delegate, but as he served the purposes of James H. Platt, Jr., who packed that Convention for Blaine, he was forced into the chuir, regardless of the vehement and indig- haut protests of the bail in behalf of a decent colored delegate named De Mortie, Sener was chosen @ delogate to the Cincinnati Convention from tho First district, Peter J. Carter (colored), who was temporary chairman of the Lyachburg Convention, being bis eoileague. There is no special signiticance in the views or opinions of Mr. Seucr, but representing, as he will, a large and mfluential colored constituency, though by boguz means, a HxRato rep- ve accosted him familiarly, and asked:— our first choice tor the Presidency #”” ‘ob, Biaine, of course.’’ “Don't you think he will be injured by the Little Rock bond investigation ?"" “Well, 1 don’t know. I go for an honest man, If he is smirched he must step down and out’? “Who, in that case, would be your second choice?” “Wheeler, of New York. Thero is an underground influence growing steadily in his favor, and he 1s pop- ular in New York. You know him, of course, us tho Wheeler of tho Louisiana compromise, 1am ‘or any man that can carry New York, and | don't think Conk- ling cao. Ip fact, I’m opposed to both Morton and Conkling; they, have been too prominently betore the country, and I’m inclined to think that Wheeler will loom up as Blaine’s ‘Great Unknown,’ ” “If Whecler or Blaine is not nominated who, then, could be your.third choice” “In that event [don’t know. Perhaps some other ‘Great Unknown’ may turn up;’? and the ex-Con- gressman and ex-rotten borougu delegate, awkwardly bowing his adieu, darted off in a hurry. Peter J. Cantxk, the other delegate from the First district, who resides in Northampton county, is one of the leading colored men of the state, He bas been jor several successive terms in the Legislature, and was the temporary chairman ‘of the late Convention at Lyachburg, where ®e was courted by the Blaine men as one of their adherents; bat just after his election as adelegate be made a strange specch for a Blaine man, and has ever sinco been jooked upon as rather un- settled, He is now of opinion that Blaine cannot be nominated, and will vote at Cincinnati for either Mor- ton or Conkling, most likely the former first, aud the latter in the evont he fuils, Indeed, Mr. Blaine was never his choice. SECOND DISTRICT. One of the most active nanipulators and wirepuliers at the Lynchburg #epublican Conventiongwas J. F. Dixnzxyvonrr, Inspector of Merchandise at the Noriolk Custom House, and an appoiniee of James H. Platt. He was the map that did most of the ‘bullying for Blaine” on the floor of the Convention during the hot and excit- ing debates that took pjace over the contests for the chairmanship made io vehalf of Mr. De Mortie (colored) by the minority who were so shamelessly overslaughed. Diezendor! is tor Blaine now as he was then; he is for Blame second, und tor Blame all the time. The other delegate from the Second Congressional district 1s Joun Vawsox, colored. lt was a hard matter, tirst to find where he lived and then to find his residence, which is not a palatial one. He was discov- ered at last, however, in the ancient capital of the Oid Dommior, Williamsburg, and “unbeknownt” to him- xelf he was interviewed, He was very non-commuittal to the emissary of tho HeRALD, was cautious and evi- dently afraid to take any stand. He 18 a probable aspi- rant for the republican Dumination for Congress trom that district, and hence his sear of injuring his chances should he declare for any one. His first choice is Blaine; second choice, probably, Bristow. He has no expressed choice for any one in the event of those named being out of the Way—in other words, no third cnoice, THIRD DISTRICT, Mr. Ons F. Russxct, who succeeded Rush Burgess as Collector of nigel Revenue here, 1 a delegate from the Third district, His case is iar one, From the beginning 0! the Presidential canvass he bus been a Blaine ian. He bas been fought upon that issue by republicans here who favor other Presidential aspirants, and at the imminent risk of losing his lucrative olfice he has stood firmly by the man of his choice. When asked his first choice he unequivocal: suid J. G. Siaine; bis second, J. G. Blaine; vis third, J. G. Blaine, He scems confident of the success of the -Speaker, and has never tor an Instant deemed it at |i necessary to cousult his opinions as to the chances of any other candidate, Joux W. Poixprxten (colored), the otber delegate from the Third district, was jound at Louisa Court House, He is a tall, well bauit, powerful and itelligent black negro, and has served in the Stato Legisiature. Like the generality of his race, however, he 1s not weil posted in national politics, and baving been enlisted in the Blaine cause, be 18 Blaine all over and “all de time.” YOURTH DISTRICT. The republican deiegates from she Fourth district aro Winuiaw L. Fexxaup, Cotlector’ of Internal Revenue, and Ross Hasirox, colored, Fernand holds forth at Vhut great tobacco martot Virginia, Danville, He is a keen, shrewd, active, little politician, whose aim is always to be on the right side, wHhout any other special traits worth meutionivg. He was one of the corps of ollice-+holders who ran the Lynchburg Conven- tion in the ioterest of Blaine, and his choice ay stated by himself, 1s as follows:—First for James |. Blaine, second tor Oliver P. Morton, and is undeter- mined as toa third, which with him would be dictated by circumstances. Ross Hamiiton is, like P. J. Carter, a leading aud iofigential colored man; has served sev- erat years in the Legitlature and was one of the Presi- cential oleciors on the Grant ticket of 1872 Like Car- ter, also, his first choice is not Blaine, and it is prod- able he will tarn up a supporter of Conkling or Morton at Cincinnati, Pieri DISTRICT. A representative of the Henan called upon Captain J. Hesey Rives, athis office in ynehburg Mr. Rives took @ very prominent part in the Convention last month, and was there regurded as, perhaps, the strong- est sopporter of Mr, Conkling m that body; but he was interviewed with the following result “Capt i ‘e called, as a frien to ask your views as to the probavle result of the Cincinnati Gon- vention, and also as to your first, eecond and third cuoice.”? “My first and only choice isthe nominee of the Con- vention. | did not then and do not now indoree the aetion o Lynchburg Convention iu relation to Mr. Blaine. # an able wan, but I do not fauey the idea of wking him up asa Presidential nominee. Mr. Bristow is a good man m many respects, but I fear that even be has been io much pushed by hig friends to make a successiul rua. Upon the whole, Ido not bi tate to say that Roscoe Conkling ix my first eboice even my third chorce, a8 against Biaine or avy other man, There is ro much corruption and rascality, ether real or imagiuary, in the repubiican party, Ubat avali- ability should be the main object The second delegate from the Fifth district is Mr. Gronax V. Case, the Postmaster at Liberty, in Bedford county. Ml too, was a strong Coukling nan at the Lynchburg Conveation. In response to inquiries propounued to him by # gentlewan ie stated his choiwe as ioliows ;—First, Ros oeltonkling; second, 0, P. Sor of their opiuions in bis favor. ln a word, they wili not fight the President for any one, For a long time they affected a disbelief of any preference on the part of the President for Conkling. and insisted that Biaine was ton; thied, Governor Hayes, Mr. we thinks that Blaine will get someting more than twelve votes from the Virginia delegation, and 1s inclined to believe that he is losing ground with those who have been his (Binine’sy avowed friends. Ho feels confident tha Conkling will win at Cincinnati, and he to be- Move that the New York Senator cap carry Virginia against Tilden if he should be the democratic none. SIXT DISTRICT. D. Suerry Lewis, a son or nephew of ex-Senator Lewis, and J. Peter De Haven (colored) are the dele. = from the Sixth district, Mr. Lewis, who lives at ville, i# a very intelligent and promising young gentleman und one of tho rising republican politicians of Virginia. He favors for the nominee ot Cincinnati for the Presidency, tirst, Oliver P. Morton; second, Roscoe Conkling, and has no third choice, but can be scored as epposed 10 Blaine. Away up at Rocky Mount, almost on tho spurs of the Alloghanies, Jous P, De Have (colored), the remain- ing delegxte from the Sixth aistrict, was called upon by a gentleman, who questioned him in reference to his choice for the Presidency. He alleged that he had not made up bis mind; that he had no choice, but that he would zo to the Convention prepared to bn port the inost available man. He said, and said truthfully, that he knew-nothing about any of the as- Pirants, and for that reason had not made up his mind to support any particular une of them. I believe, however, that De Haven, Lewis and others, who speak of Morton as their first choice, mean they will vote for that candidate on the first ballot and after that go for Conkling. SRVENTH DISTRICE, Jossrn Harris, colored, is one of the delegates from the Seventa district, with W. J. Porter, of Charlotte- ville, as bis colleague, He lives about twenty miles from Staunton, and for nearly ten days he bas skiltully eluded the vigtiance of a HERALD emissary, who in vain tried to “nail”? hun for the purposes of an interview, Failing iu this, and determined to accompl'sh bis ob- ject, your representative sought his intimate political J*ausociates, and from them elicited that he can be put down first for Morton, second for Bla‘ne, and third for Conkling or any other man who may turn up as the favorite of the Convention. ‘A Henan representative called upon W, J. Porter, who resides about seven miles from Charlotteville, in Albarmarie county. Porter is a Northern man, who settled there seven or eight years ago, is @ republican, and was elected one ot tho delegates to the Cincinni Convention from the Seventh district. He expressed himself as decid- edly in favor of Blaine as hia first choice for the Presi- dency, Bristow second, and Conkling third. He stated that reform was absolutely necessary in tho adminis- tration generally, but especially in the matter of whiskey rings; and he thought that the demal of the negro’s rights in the South was a matter demanding attention. He spoke of Bristow and Conkling as men of purity and ability, and of the latter asa man of great strength; but he preterred Blaine, because he essed those qualities which were desirable in tho rpetuationof the party. Many had found fault with laine on accoant of his position on the Amnesty Dill, but he, Porter, bad no fault to find with him, He bad no other choice, KIGHTH DISTRICT, An individual all the way trom Maine, with Ozias Biaycuaxp as his name, figures as one of the delegates from the Eighth district to the Cincinnati Conven- tion, It wus said he lived at Falls Church, in Fairfax county, tut a visit to that historic locality failed to find him, Alexandria was next searched, and he was not there; but the indefatigable zeal of a HknaLp commis- sioner at Jast unearthed him ata place called Herndon, m Pairfax county, Ho 18 a good specimen of the aver- ago Maine man, but here, in Virginia, he is a Blame man. Henatp Represextativx—Do you consider that you bon any instructions trom the Convention which sends you Mr. Buancnarp (snappishly)—I have none. Herato KRerresentativx—Did the Couvention at Lynchburg express any preference for a candidate for ‘the Presidency ? Mr. Buancitarp (evidently interested)—An informal voto was taken before the deligation was appointed, and I think at least seven-eights of the votes were cast as a preference for Blaine, [A bare 4majority vote of that sort was forced through, the weight of which was broken by a similar vote for Morton.—HeRaLp cor- RESPONDENT. ] Heratp RePreskxtative—Who is your first choico for Prosident ¥ Mr. BLaxcuanp (enthusiastically)—Decidedly Blaine. Bristow is his gecond choice, though he says he 1s afraid of a border State inan, since Andy Johnson acted ashe did. His third choice will depend eatirely upon circumstances, but he thinks there will be no necessity fora third chuice. Governor Hayes, of Ohio, is his first choice for Vico President. The other delegate from the Eighth district is Mr. Wituiam Minter, who 43 the Postmaster at Winchester. He was called upon by a gentleman, who asked bis choice, but unfortunately Mr Miller had heard of the recent Cabinct changes at Washington, the consequence of which was that he had no fixed opinion or preter- once. Ho now belongs to the ciass that “floats upon the surface of the occasion and trusts to the sublimity of luck.” He will vote, he says, first for Mr. Blaine, deeming it bis duty todo so under the forced resolv- tion of preference for that candidate at the Lynchburg Convention, My impression is that after Biaine, or after the first ballot, he will go for tho favorite of tho administration, whoever that may be, but among Saco are the name of the man is known as Conk- ing. ‘NINTH DISTRICT. Jacos Wacoxrr, whom Collector I. Henry Rives called ‘a petty little revenue olticial”’ at Lynchburg durmg a hot and personal discussion, 1s a spec! de- tective in the Revenue Department, and resides at Wytheville He “ax elected to the Cincinnati Couven- tion at Lynchburg vy the republicans of his district, W.

Wittiak 8, Oakey, a delegate {rom the Ninth dig trict, 1s a gentleman of unusual intelligence and sa- gacity. He was opposed to any instruction on behalf Of Biuine or any one of the candidates, Ho is a great admirer of the President, under whom he has for sev: eral years held the oflice of Postmaster, et Salem, Va, and his first choice is not Mr, Blaine. Without having expressed a choice for Conkling, it 1s belie’ and pub. liely asserted by those who ought to know that he will stand by the administration candidate at Cincinnati. NORTH CAROLINA, VIEWS OF THE DELEGATES TO CINCINNATI— LEANING TOWARD CONKLING RATHER THAN BLAINE. Raxxten, June 5, 1876. Prominent among the repyblican delegates from this Stato to the Cincinnati Convention ts Major R. ©, Bavorr, of thisctty. He and the Hon, W. A. Smith are the delegates from this the Fourth district, Mr. Badger is a son of the late Hon. Geurgo E. Badger, and is a lawyer of much ability, with a Ormness and dignity of political and personal character which gives him a high stand among the people of all parties, To-day, casually attending the meeting of that convention, 1 asked him :— “Mr, Badger, Who is your choice of men?” “IT have no choice, sir, My idea is tu get somo reformatory man, with such strong points of good character and ability asto draw back into the ranks, those republicans that are stragglers. Between Blaine and Conkling and Hayes I prefer Blaine, I know him personally. He 1sanelegautgentlemao. Between Conkling and Hayes} prefer Hayes. Conkling appears rather pompous and usurping. Bristow | think cannot get the republicans. The abolitionists will not support him. Bat there are two men not much noised yet whose chances are strong—Hartranit, of Peunsyivania, and Freylinghuysen,, ot New Jersey. I have advices that Hartranfi’s strength is increasing every day, and Simon Cameron is going to Cincinnati to try and pominate him.’ I met Hon. W. A. Surrm, ex-Congressman, the other delegate trom this district to the Cincinnati Conven- tion. Ho declares a decided preference for Chief Jus- tice Waite for the Prosidency. He thinks Waite leans nearer to democracy than any other man they could get. Said Mr, Smith:—‘I don’t like Hartranft; ivs too much trouble to pronounce his name; and when I stump for a nan I want bim to have an easy name like | my own. But, seriously,” said he, “1 think three fourths of our delegation will go for Blaine if gen- Hetnan shows any strength at all before the Conven- tion. " Jaues H. Hanna, of this city, is a leading colored man in North Caroliva. He is a five speaker, shrewd in politics and has « very good farm near this place. He is a delegate trom the State at large, and will at- tend the Convention. “Mr. Harris, who is the coming man for Cincinnati ?”” “Weil, sir, I nave been out in the woods on my farm and have noi seen a newspaper in a week.” “Who 1 your first choice at Cincinnati?" “Morton is my individual choice. As a negro, my eympatiies are ail for Morton, because tre took such a firm stand i ee the Ka Klux. Polrticaliy my choice is for Hayes and after Hayes | am tor Blaine.” Jnvv. Hoskins, from Greensboro, was in the city to- day. He will attend the Convention as a delegate. Mr. Hoskivx suid he wad for Blaine, and Conkling was bis second chorce, Jaues A. Dov, once a leading member of the Ka Klux organization, but nuw a leading republican ot Alamance county and a delegate to the Cincinnati Con- vention, is for Conkling “frst, last and ali the time,” to use lis OWN expression. Jim Boyd, as be is tamil Harly called, says 1f Morion was in health he would get the nomination, bat as iti Comkiing is the man, At the same tite he says he does not know bow the dele- gation trom North Carolina to Cincinnati will go. Dr, Wiwiax H Wiexcer, of Salem, Forsytne county, in tuts State, who is a delegate at large to Cive:mnati Convention, was called upon at bis bo and to the inquiries as to by it, second and third choice for the Presidency he said:—Biuine ts my tret eboice, Conkling my second, He had as yet no third choice, It is stared that the leaders of the republican party io North Carolina, who are muinly carpet-bag. gers, will be likely to control delegation, aud that they are almost unanimous for Conkling. 8. V. Les, delegate at jarge, who is United ttorney for the Western district of this State, to give an 0 It is believed, however, that Le will vote for the choice of the Federal Court Greensboro, and as the entire Deparninent is known openly to advocate the claims of Mr, Conkiing Mr, Lusk may bo counted for that candi- date as his arse choige. Mr. Pisenxxy Routine, deiegate from the Fighth district, residmmg at Ashville, has decided opinions as to candidates, His first evoive is Mr. Bristow, his sec- ond is Governor Hayes, byt he is at sea ns to the third, HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1876.—QUADRUPLE SHEET. Mr. Bristow, he thinks, comprehends more than any other man those honest and covservaive principles which he considers shouid distinguish the choice of his party, and Mr. Hayes next. He believes that the republican party, to be successtul, Must drop its violent, sectional, time-serving leaders or be defeated. The candidate must represent dis- tinctly hard money and conservative rather than radi- cal principles. He prefers a Western man, provided he is all right on the financia: question, and thinks a can- didate from that section would do more gond in those States, aud hold the ast, while an Eastern man might lose the West. Mr. James Hearox, adelegate from the Third dis- trict, who is a leading republican in Wilmiagton, thinks the delegation to Cincinnati from the eastern section of this State is in favor of Blaine, possibly with the ex- cvption of his codelegate, Judge Russell, whose pref- erence he does not know. Mr. Heatou’s first eboice is Morton, second, Conkling; third, Blaine. W. P. Mauson, of Tarboro, and E. R. Pacs, of Kins- ton, both delegates from the Second district, are Blaine men, who can be credited to Conkling 1s their second choice, and their first if Mr. Blaine 18 not put forward as a candidate. Mr. Tuomas Powxns, of Newbern, one of the dele- ites wt large, ts also a Blaine man, and possibly Conk- ing #$ & second choice, ir. M. Nokueyr, of Lumberton, a delogate from the Sixth district, says that, leaving out the “Great Un- known,” his tirst choice is Conkling, his second Mor- ton, his third Hayes, A meeting of the State delegation will probably. be held in Washington city on its way to Cincinnati, when @ line of action will be determined upon, and in view of the recent developments imvoiving Mr. Blaine’s charac- ter for honesty, purity and integrity, it would surprise nobody i the cnure deiegation went to Cincinnati almost a unit for Conkling. A prominent republican at Goldsboro remarked a fow days since that unless Blamo explaincd away tho charges against him he would certainly lose the vote of the North Carolina delegation, GEORGIA, OF THE DELEGATES TO CINCINNATI— CONELING AND BLAINE. Savanxan, June 5, 1876. The following are the views of tho Georgia delegation to Cincinnati, beginning with the delegates at large:— Hewry P. Farrow, District Attorney, is out and out- for Conkling, As chairman of the State Committeo Colonel Farrow did some vory effective work for Mr. Conkling and is quite pronounced in his support. His preferences betore Mr, Coukling became a prominent candidate were for Bristow, and as a second choice he ‘would revert to that gentleman. Colonel Farrow 1s very able and influential and will probably be chairman of the delogation. James Apktys, Collector of the Port at Savannah, is for Conkling. Ho will be stubbornly and porsisteouy for Conkling and will then go to Bristow, in whose tn- terest he was moving actively before Conkling became prominent, Gxorck Wattace (colored) is for Morton, He was quite prominent throughout the Convention fight as a Morton man and was quite bitter. He will favor Conk- ling as a second choice. H. M. Turyxx (coiored) is for Blaine, He ts a very prominent negro politician and fs in the Savannah Cus- tom House, which, under his and Bryant's leadership, 1a strongly for Blaine. He will take Conkling as a sec- ond choice. VIEWS ‘THE DISTRICT DELEGATES. Major Geoncx B. Cuamperuiy (revenuo service) Jeads the Bristow {iflaence on the ticket. He managed Bristow’s interest in the Convention, and is probably the best workor on the delegation, being popular with all the elements, He elaims a larger Bristow following than the tigures show. Hs second chotce is Blaine, C. C. Wixarstt (colored) is for Bristow first choice and Blaine as second choice, Epwix Bxicuxn (colored), the leader of the colored men im the Convention and quite a shrewd - poli- tician, is for Morton, His second choice is Blaine, He is agamst Bristow forever; says, since andy Johnson betrayed them, the negroes will not con- sent to trust any Southern man; that Johnson was much more pronounced in his republicanism than Bris- tow, and yet he could not stand out against the tradi- tious of his native State. J, 3. Faxsix, x-Congressman, {8 for Morton first and Bristow second, Jaks Devavx (colored), State Senator, is for Morton first and will take Conkling as his socond choice. He says he does not anticipate having to drop Morton, however, , J, M, Vax Meren is for Conkling out and out, He will take Bristow as a second choice, Mapison Davis er is tor Morton first and Conkling as next choice. His voto was originally counted for Conkling on the ground that Davis would not attend the Convention and Postmaster Taylor, bis alternate and a Conkling man, would cast it, “He now avers that he will be on band in person. R, L. Morr was originally a strong third-termer and ig now by universal consent given to Conkling. Ho is not accessible to your correspondent at present, but the most careful slates have lim for Blaine as second choice. . S. Wisk Parker is for Conkiing first and Blaine second. Mr. Parker is a sharp politician and a wan of ability and willbe heurd from in the Couvention. J. W. Bex ts for Coukiing first and Blaine second, It 16 proper to say thatthe Blaine men claim Bell tor Blaine tirst and Conkling second, but your correspond- ent has authority for reversing this claim. W. L. Gouvwin is for Bristow first and Conkling as second choice. J. 't, Couiixs is for Blaine first and Bristow second. Joux Dryatx (colored) is claimed by both the Blaine menand the Morton men. Your correspondent has ot authority for putting him, Blaine first choice and orton second, Jxvr Loye (colored) is for Morton first and Blaine ag second choice. Parxce (ex-Congressman) is for Blaine first and Bri aga second choice, Mr, Prince was Chairman of the State Convention. SamurL Saarm (colored) is for Conkling, with Morton as a second choice. F. F, Porney is for Morton first, with Blaive as a second choice, E. C. Waps isclaimed for Conkling first and Blaine second. FLORIDA.

I would like to sev hin get the nomination. Conkling is my secoad choice and Bristow my third,” Vv. W. Buyayxt says:—“I was in Washington a lon; time, Conover got me an appointment there and i] saw Blaine often; he is my choice for the Presidency, I think bim the man, Conkling is my second choice and Bristow third.’” W. I. GLKasox says Blaine 1s bis fifst choice, Conk- ling next and Morton third. If, however, Bristow be- comes the compromise cundidate he shall Support him.

He ts for Blaine. He says Blai speech in the Rouse respecting t ‘nion prisoners caused him to admire wore than Conklin, oush he came from Conkling’s State. Conkling is bis second choiwe and Bristow third. Gxonan E, Westwortn is for Blaine frst, Blaine sec- ond and Blaine ali the time.

THE DELEGATES TO CINCINNATI AND THEIR PREFERENCES, 3 New Oncxans, June 6, 1876 Atthe Republican Nominating Convention in this State, on the Bist ot May, a series of resolutions was Passed indorsing Sepator Morton, but not pledging the delegates tobim. The majority, however, will vote for him at all hazards, As every single delegate, with the exception of Pinch>ack, now holds office under the State or general government none of them hardly dares openly express bis views, They are also more or less Open to outside mfluence, but their preferences now are us follows:— Governor W. P. Kriioga’s Orst choice is Morton, his second Conkling and his third Blaine. As Kellogg is silently playing for some government position after the election, there being no chance for him in the State, he may make combinations in tug Convention which will change his vote. P. B. 8. Ptvcanacs’s first choico is Morton, his second Blaine or Conkling, and third Coukling or Blaine, 8. B. Packarp, United States Marshal, 1s himself a native of Maine, and will hee Blaine from first to last. Like Kellogg, though, he will be sure to be found on the winning side, W. G.

Citaxiks Nasu (colored), member of Congress, will support Morton from first to last, THE COLORADO TRAGEDY. WHO YOUNG JESSUP WAS, THE VICTIM OF THE BORDER RUFFIAN DAVIS, There will probably bo as strict an investigation as is possible under the circumstances as to the true man- ner of death of Mr. Alfred D. Jessup, Jr.Swho was killed in what is called a duel at River Bend, Colorado, on Thursday last, by ono Davis, who, it is said, bears the unenviable reputation of being a gumbler and a rough generally, a bully and a man of boorish appear- ance and disposition. Davis is not a stock raiser, as was at first reported, but keeps a general store. The fundamental principle of tho duello is equality in tho matter of arms. As Davis was pro- vided with a Winchester repeating rifle whilo Jessup had only a revolver, the affair be- tween them resembles an assassination rather than an oqual contest. Mr. Jessup was tho son of Alfred D. Jessup, of the firm of Jessup & Moore, paper manufacturers, of Phila- deiphia and New York, whose office in this city is on William street, Ho was not. yet thirty years of age. Ho had evinced a romantic and roving disposition from his boyhood, Before he arrived at the years of manhood he had circumnavigated the globo and explored many of the then unlamiliar portions of the great West. His glowing descriptions of the Yosemite Valley tn- duced severai artists of renown to visit that magnifi- cent region of our country, and the products of their easels extended its reputation throughout the civilized world. At the desire of b ther he connected himself with a publishing firm in his native city; but be was of too urdent a temperament to long content himself with such a monotonous method of lite. Threo years ago he again departed for the West, and established a stock farm in New Mexico. He now felt himself in bis proper spbere, although a man of high culture and of fastidious tastes when at home, and be devoted him- self to the business he hud chosen with an ardor and skill that svon brought him in large returns on his in- vestment. During the last winter he visited his old home in Philadelphia, bat goon returned to the West, Having disposed of his New Mexican property he established a ranche near Deer Tall, on the Kansas Pucitic Railway, Siuco then Ine father had heard but little concerning biin uatil the evening of Thursday last, when the telegraph boro to him the announcement of his sou’s tragic death at the hands of a rufflan, The unfortunate young man was greutly esteomed by the Colorado cattle dealers, and it is highly probable that if Davis, who fled soon after the alfray, 18 caught by them ho willbe given but a short shriit, THE ARMORY CLAIMS, It may not be generally known that the last Legisla- ture passed a bill creating a special commission for the purpose of settling the old claims made against the city by proprietors of buildings used as armories and drill rooms For years these claims have been a matter of vexatious annoyance and a prolific soutce of corrap- tion, it is charged. This commission are empowored under the law to adjudicate the claims, and it is not at all hkely that they will be hoodwinked ito passing any claim in which there is even the semblance of fraud. The commission, which consists of the Mayor, Comptrolier and Commissioner Andrews, of the Tax Department, having organized last Thursday, yesterday officially announced that they are prepared to act, and any claimant will be heard before them upon giving ten days’ notice to the Finance Department, THE FOURTH IN BROOKLYN. By order of the Common Counell of Brooklyn, there will bo in that city a grand parade on the evening of the 3d of July next. The parade will consist of two divisions, Eastern and Western, joining at some suit- ablo point, and proceeding to Fort Greene, Washing- ton Park, where appropriate ceremonies will be had, and the one hundredth anniversary of our national in- dependence ushered in by the tiring of salutes and other demonstrations. All military and civic organizations, societies and trades in Brookiyn are invited to participate in the parade, and the peoplo of the entire city are requested to illuminate their residences and places of business on that occasion, MR. BEECHER’S HOUSE ROBBED. Shortly before five o’clock yesterday morning a ser- vant girl in Rev. Heury Ward Beechor's house, No, 124 Columbia street, Brooklyn Heights, discovered a man trying to open a small iron safe in a corner in the back parlor, The thief, on seeing the girl, shook his fist at her, sprang to his feet and walked rapidly toward her, The girl screamed and ran op stairsto alarm Mr. Beecher and the other members of the family.

VELTMAN'S ACCOMPLICE ARRESTED. William Leith, aged fifty-cight years, was arrested by dotectives Roch and Mahonoy, of the Third precinct police, at his residence, No, 683 Pacific street, Brook- lyo, ow Friday night, on charge of conspiracy and fot ery. He is qccused of swindling the Merchants’ Nu- tional Bank of New York. The officers searched the apartments of Leith and found evidence which tends to show that he was engaged extoasively in similar ne- farious business, The particulars of the recent forging operations on the Merchat Exchange National Bank, by which $22,000 was soaght to be trandulently obtained by Willan F. Vel- man, have been __ previously — published, Lown and Veltman were old acquaintances, ard seven years wgo they succeeded in detrauding the Fourth Na- tional Hank ont of over $6,000.

C.”’ under the cagle are counterfeit appears to be unfounded, These two letters are the mark of the Carson City mint. Possibly the notion that these coms were counterioit arose irom the tact of their being very slightly lighter than similar coins of the Philadelphia aud other mints, FATAL ACCIDENTS, Yesterday Coroner Croker held an inqaest in the ease of Solomon Goldstein, who was accidentally killed by tho drawbridge over the Harlom River on tho 6th inst, The jury recommended that the Department of Parks place gates at both ends of the briage, to pre- vent persons from getting on while the draw was being opened, An inquest was also held the same Coroner and the same jury in the cane of ick Grifla, who was killed by falling down aa embankment of the Fourth eee" avenue {mprovement, at 116th street, on the 22d ult, ‘The jury recommended that the authorities adopt some Plan to prevent in suture accidents of a similar nature ai this point by completing the mmprovemen: their opinion, th _..
