Sympathy for Blaine in His Sickness Uniformly Shown. Blaine Holds His Strength Among the Delegates, QONKLING INCREASING IN FAVOR. Important Meeting of the New York Delegation. CURTIS IN A MINORITY OF ONE. New York Republicans Under Two Flags at One Hotel. LIVELY INCIDENTS OF THE CANVASS. The New York delogation had a long meeting of three hours to-day, at which there was a very full ex- pression of opinion, Mr. Lawson set matters going by ‘ pfferimg a redolution that when the roll of the States und Territories is called on each ballot the chairman be (mstructed to cast the seventy votes of New York for Roscoe Conkling. This Mr. Curtis moved to lay on the table, for the reason that the seventy votes were not in fact unanimous for Mr. Conkling, that some delegates had not yet arrived ani that thero had not been time for a full discussion. He predicted that it Mr. Conk- limg should be the nomineo of tho Convention the States of Ohio, Indiana, New York and Massa- chusetts would be lost to the republican party. ‘A leading Massachusetts delegate had answered him that day that such was the fact in regard to his State, He refused to be bound by such a resolution even if it should be adopted, and would assert his mght on the loor of the Convention, if necessary, to vote as he pleased, Mr. T. N. Pomeroy, the chairman of the delegation, fuled that the delegation had no power under the reso- gates, individually, to vote for Mr. Conkling, although they were instructed to present the vote in the Conven- ton as a unit, Mr, Curtis repeated the statement that all the dele- gates wero not present, and thought that further action had better be postponed to Tuesday evening, Mr. Giles Hotchkiss replied with the declaration that the was one of the latest arrivals and knew now for whom he would vote, and that probably everybody else had made up his mind. T. K. Phelps, Judge J. 3. Edick, of Otsego; A. B. Cor- ‘bell, William Orton, Benjamin Silliman all spoke in favor of the resolution. Senator Rogers, of Buffalo; ‘Tadge James, of Jefferson; A. A. Low, of Kings; Mr. Bumith, of Allegany, and Senator Woodin spoke against ‘the resolution, deeming it neither necessary nor war- Fanted by the resolution of the Syracuse Convention, ‘though not from any opposition to Mr. Conkling as a ‘eandidate, L, Braaford Prince also spoke in opposition, “and said that if the Convention wero held to-day he should vote for Roscoe Conkling, but he was not willing ‘at this time to bind himself to vote in the same man- ner next Wednesday, when he knew not what circum- stances might ariso in the meantime to change his “views, Mr. Madden, of Orange, said that ho was in favor of the nomination of Roscoe Conkling and should - vote for him, He agreed with al that had been said im favor of that candidate and admitted he had spent more time than any other Senator in defending and advocating the principles of the republican party. He thought, however, that if the Senator had spent less time in work and devoted a tew hours in each day to shaking hands with his friends and constit- vents it would have been better for him and have made him a more popular candidate to-day. It was known that Mr. Curtis would not vote for Mr. Conkling, and after some skirmishing Mr. Cornell vfered, os a substitute for tho resolution, the soncluding resolution of the Syracuse platform, pre- venting the name of Roscoe Conkling as the choice of the State of New York, Mr. Curtis said bo must op- bose this resolution as he had opposed the ove frst offered. He should resist any attempt to lay the pres- sure of the weight of a feateer on any delegate’s tree Action, and for bimself he should refuse to be bound by any such resolution of the delegation, even if his uixty-nine associases should determine in favor of it Senator Woodin said that he regarded it as untor- tunate that the originai resolution, or, indeed, that any resolution on the subject had been offered in the delegation, It only gave the opportunity for this dis- sussion, which made it appear as if a division existed in the delegation, when in fact the delegation, with one or two exceptions; was unanimous for Mr, Conkling. Judge Dittenbofer stated that the chairman of tho dele- gation, in his ruiing at the commencement of this dis- | cussion, had laid down in an intelligent and acceptabie form the law which, under the mandate received from the Syracuse Convention, must govern the delegates, and that, with such a.decision and construction to savo the conscience of the most sensitive delegate, he could feo no reason why Mr. Curtis and those who agreed ‘with him could not vote for Mr. Cornell’s substitute, ‘& MINORITY OF ONE. ‘The vote on the substitutethen taken was adopted by avoteof63to 1, Mr. Curtis alone voting in the negative. Mr. Orton thereupon offered a resolution that as the name of each delegate should be called he rise and state nis preference, and on this call the whole delegation, with the exception of Messrs, Curtis and A. A, Low, responded for Conkling, CURTIS FOR BRISTOW. Mr. Curtis declared for Bristow; Mr. Low said that ‘a8 he now felt ho would vote for Mr. Bristow, simply for thé reason that certain gentlemen on whose judg- ment,he had cuntidenco nad expressed to him the opin- fon that Mr. Conkling couid not carry New York im consequence of the opposition to him in the republican ranks, At the same time ho had ful! contidence in Mr. Conkling, and it he became satisfied that he could carry the State he would very probably vote for him before the time tor bailoting arrived. CIVIL SERVICR REFORM, Mr. Stewart L. Woodiord then offered a resolution declaring the intention of the republican party to carry forward a thorough and systematic reform in the civil fervice, so that while the party in power might still be | At liberty to give those places iv which harmony and | vigor of administration require that its policy should be represented therein to its party friends the general offices of the government might be given out to de- serving people, representing all sections, without re- gard to anything but howesty and capacity. Mr. Woodford moved that this resolution be pitced infthe hands of Mr. Smith, the member of the Committee on Resolutions, with instructions to usé his influ. enco to havo this or a similar resolution embodied im the platform of the Convention. Mr. | Join D. Lawson advocated the adoption of Mr. Wood- ford’s motion and stated that the resolution bad been prepared by Str. D. B. Eaton, who had taken #0 great an interest in civil service reform, Mr, William Orton was opposed to the resolution in its presen. shape. It was necdloss to talk about civil service reform when ander the existing system we, in New York, had such a Collector of the Port as General Arthor and such a Postinaster a8 Mr, James, Under our system of gov- croment it would be impracticable to make such a tivd service as the resulution contemplated, and he was opposed tw Inserting in the platiorm apy ‘declaration of profession that they did not sincerely intend to carry out Mr. Woodford admived that a Gimilar declaration Your years ago had not beeu iaith- fully carried out; but he was sincerely in favor of the reform, and he desired that it should be made a plank of che party platform. On motion the resolution was referred to a sub-committee of three, consisting of Judge Dittenhoffer, Mr. William Orton and General Woodford, with instructions to prepare a resolution in conformity with the views of the delegation. The meeting then adjourned subject to the cull of the chairman, Mr. Pomeroy. THE APSENT DELEGATES. The tour delegates absent from the meeting and not yet arrived in the city aro Mr. George Opdyke, who is understood to havo been detained by sickness; Senator Robertson, of Westchester; Sptaker James W. Husted and Mr. Fiero, of the Sixteenth district, The dolega- tion stands openly pledged, therefore—sixty-elght tor Conkling and two for Bristow—and this will be the re- sponse of the chairman when New York is called, and on every bullot, unless he is otherwise instructed. Mr. Wheeler’s friends in the delegation did not, as it was At one time roported they would, oppose the Conkling men, bat joined with them, and if there was any lack of zeal for Mr. Conkling it did not show itself at this mecting. Mr. Woodin desires it to be under- stood that neither nor any one with him contemplated opposition to Mr. Conkling, as has been reported, ‘There is not a shadow of doubt that Mr. Conklihg 15 rapidly gaining. Tho delegation has been actively at work among other delegations, and thia labor has been very thoroughly systematized and bears fruit to-day. The gains bave been openly acknowledged even by those who before did not beheve Mr. Conkling could be nom- nated, Que very experienced anti-Conkling politician remarked this afternoon:—‘Their work tells, and they have made such an impression that I now believe if Conkling can show 100 votes on the first ballot he will get the nomination.” It 1s this evening almost certain ho will receive 150 votes on the first ballot, and that he could command for this, the first ballot, even a num- ber more, which {t is not thought best to produce 80 early, as meny of them are committed to other candt- dates for first and even for the second ballot, THE BALLOT O¥ YENNBYLVANIA. Pennsylvania will throw its full vote for Hartranft on the first ballot, on the second, or thereafter, when it is thought advisable, forty-eight of the Pennsylva- nia votes will be thrown for Mr, Conkling. Ten, it is understood, will not vote for him on any of the earlier ballotings, if at all. There have been some hard words and hard feclings in ¢he delegation over an attempt to declaro the vote as a unit, and the members who are opposed to Mr. Conkling even went go far as to declare that if this were done thoy would not hesitate to rise in the Convention and demand iss protection. There is a strong sentiment among some of the delegation for Mr, Blaine. ‘THE YHENOMENOS OF THE DAY is the zeal with which the Blaino men hang together— they count 309 votes, but may’ poll about 260 on the first ballot. That this count is not entirely preposter- ous is shown by the fact that the most uctive and close canvassers of the Morton delegation give the Blaine men 291 votes as certain. THE BRISTOW VOTE. The Eristow men regard themselves as sure of about 130 votes, but they count in these twenty from Ala- bama, the entire contesting d ation. This deloga- tion will not, probably, be admitted, and in that caso the Bristow count is 110 votes, and so far as they know they cannot inerease this much, if at ull. Hu MORTON VOTE. The Morton men wlaim 207 votes on the first ballot, It is probable that they deceive themselves in some particulars, but these is little doubt that Senator Mor- ton will make a strong show at first, and he may be able to hold his forces during several ballotings, but thero ia a general impression that they will leave him before the decisive point is reached. Thereisa very” general belief that he is fighting # losing battle under this .influence. Even many of those who ear- nestly desire to see him nominated, and who say 80 very sincerely, will go into the Convention pro- pared to leave bim the moment it 18 seen that he has put out his utmost strength and js not nominated. It 1s still asserted that the Indiana vote will, in case Mr. Morton breaks, go to Bristow, but it cannot be carried there cntire; Mr. Morton cannot carry his Southern supporters iu that direction to any considerable extent. A prominent colored delegate gaid to-day, “I am sincerely anxious to see Governor Morton succeed. 1 and all of our peo- ple owe him a great deal, and we would like to reward him, but we ought not be stubborn in the matter, for our States cannot elect him, and if it is plain that Mr. Morton cannot get the Northern delegations it would be our.duty to leave him. For my part, and I speak net only for if wut, for the larger part ot my people, afi with-whom I have talked, we are ready to vote for Mr. Conkling, and regard him as ac- ceptable m every way to us as Mr. Blaine. If the North wants him he would be acceptable to us, but we distrust Mr. Bristow; he is a,Keutuckian, a Soythern man, and ho might Johnsonize, and we cannot aiford to ran any risks; we shall not go to Mr. Bristow.’’ Some of the delegations have alrcady chosen the bers of committees. The New York delegation to- ‘aay chose T. M. Pomeroy, of Cayuga, chairman of the delegation; Charles E, Smith, editor of the Albany Evening Journal, member of the Committee on Reso- tutions; William Orton to the Committee on Permanent Organization, and T. C. Platt to the Committee on Cre- dentials. SCENES IN THE CITY. With the assembled mass of sweltering humanity the occupation of the day jis simple. The Gibson House and Burnet House are at one end of the town, the Grand Hotel 1s at the other end, and these points are connected by the principal street of thecity. Each hotel is colonized by the various State delegations and the various organizations supporting particular inter- ests. Every parlor is labelled with some placard tell- tug who are to be found there, and on the principal streets between are balls and rooms and offices temporarily occupied as headquarters, with thoir banners on the outer wall, It is the business of the day with the people at the Gibson House 10 stroli down to the “Grand.” Itts the business of the day with the people at the “Grand” to wander up to to the Gibson. make things noisy and it is the business of the idle citizen to come from the remote quarters and contrib- ute his personal proportion to make tho scene on the principal streets lively and complex. In this sceno of street life, and in the never cvasing flow of the streets | and the hotel lotbies and corridors, one secs tho mingle of a demonstration regularly varied by prominent individuatities, To go over the names of the men one meets would call up republican history for ten years and touch on great points of ma- terial progress; Governor Morgan, showing perceptibly of old age; Marshal U. Roberts looking eager and lively enough to build a dozen moro railroads; Dis- becker, Mayor Havemeyer’s wonderful Police Commis- sioner, with the air of the mischtevously inclined stall boy, who conceives that the only path to glory and re- nown 1s to break somebody’s windows. These aro types of the contrast and vanity of the scene. Here It i the business of the brass band to | is Stoughton, the counsellor, distinguished equally tor | lis letter on tho Lou!- giana policy; and if tne solid men come to the front where can there be better specimens than Cornell, who they say is to bo next Governor, or General Arthur, our accomplished Collector? One of the men of note is Postmaster James, From the only city in the United States which prints newspapers come the only two republican editors that city boa Hugh Hastings and George Jones—anud there never was a time before when the partisan press of the party in power and of the metropolis was re- duced to such an intollectual quantity; a fact full of promise for the reguiar progress ot the independent press, There m Tom Murphy, the ex- ollector, whose first choice ts said to bo Roscoe Conkling, and his second the Grand Duke Alexi, In fact, the place 1s 80 crowded with people from Broad- way that it would not be difficult to sterta small metropolis anywhere out in this country and relieve the East of some superiluous pressure. TOO LITTLE FUN, There is, perhaps, rather less than the usual propor” tion of fun on foot when we consider the numbers and the jovial character of the company. Itis but fair, how” ever, to say that nearly everybody present had a good Jaugh when some currevey was given to the facts tel graphed to the Hexatp last night in regard to Grant's choice for the Presidency. It was esteemed very just that Grant should declare for Conkling, but the reason he gave for it was thought to be xo eminently charac- teristic as to provoke the most aproarious hilarity, his conception thas Conkling’s devotion and loyalty were sublime because he bad refused to support his own brother-in-law in order thas he mi: support Grant. ‘This reduction of all uuman excellence to a standard of measurement based on a man’s relation to his brother-in-law, was voted worthy tho man of many re- bis hair and for lations; while his cavalier declaration that he had dis- charged his debts to Washburne was judged to indicate Scant measure of gratitude whero the burden of obliga- ‘ion was not associated with a family tic, THE TRXAB DELEGATION arrived to-day. Governor Davis will be the chairman of the delegation. Buanedo Baker is in favor of a clean republican candidate, and declares he is tor ‘tho black horse Morton, sired by Ku Klux, out of Southern Outrages.” He and Governor Davis are for the first time in opposition, Governor Davis being for Bristow, who is declared by Baker to be half democrat and a quarter republican, The Indiana delegation met to-day, but there not being a full attendanco the seleo- tion of members of the committees of, the Convention Was not made, with the exception of the appointment of Colonel Thompson, of Terre Haute, on the Commit- teo on Resolutions. This was done in order to eceupy Colonel Thompson, who is a Bristow man. The action of the New York delegation is re- garded by Mr, Conkling’s friends as a most admirable coup d'état. The opposition to Mr, Conkling iu the delegation has been secret, and those who have been Rominally for him and at heart against him Lave been quiet'y, by shrugs and innuendoes, exciting the belief that a large portion, probably a majority of the dele- gates were in reality opposed to Conkling’s nomina- tion, HUSTRD AND ROBERTSON. It ts stated by some that the absence of Senator Rob- ertson and Speaker Husted at this late day is regarded as being caused by a disinclination on the part of those gentlemen to be present when the meeting of the dele- gation took piace, so that they might afterward claim to havo no direct responsibility for any indorsement of Conkling, To-day rumors that they had stayed at Co. lumbua to see Governor Hayes were set afloat in the Grand Hotel, and found circulation im all New York circles. The shrewd movement of Mr. Wilham Orton has exposed the fact that Mr. Curtis Stands substantially alone in his opposition to Mr. Conkling, and that there ie no other opposition to tho Senator 1m tho delegation that ventures to show its head, ‘The list was puposoly kept open and the official announcement of the result withheld until the arrival of the absent delegates, so that Senator Robertson and Mr. Husted will enjoy the opportunity to prove the unfounded character of the ramora regarding their de- Votion to Conkling, and to record their votes im favor of his nomination, MR, BLAINS’S SICKNESS, Preparations are quietly waking among the different delegations for the event of Mr. Blaine’s forced with- drawal by reason of his illness, which is bolieved here to be of too serious a character to allow of his reap- pearance in public for some time with safety to his life and health. General Logan and others will do their utmost to carry the Illinois delegation to Mr. Conkling, and the prospects are that they will carry a majority of it if the break comes. Governor Hayes will gain a considerable accession ct votes in Wisconsin, Minnegota and Iowa, and. Conkling and Morton will make some gains also im the Northwest, The Ter- ritorial votes, which aro now for Blaine, with the ex- ception ot Wyoming, will fall to Conkling. The Vir, ginia strength of Mr. Blaine will go almost bodily to him also, and he and Morton will divide Mr. Blaine’s Southern strength, Conkling being likely to get the greater part, Tho best advised of the Bristow men have little hope of success to-night. They see no way of increasing largely the vote which will be cast for him on the first ballot. He will receive some acces- sions from Mr. Blaine’s New England strength, but not much, because, so far as that can be controlled by the Blainc men, it will go to. another candidate and not to Mr. Bristow. They do not hope for much ‘fn the Wost and Northwest, and they will lose the little they have in the South at an early stage in the balloting. It was remarked here to- day however, by an oxperienced politician, an oppo. nent of Mr. Blaine, that hia strength is so great and so well held that if he should appear in his place in the House of Representatives on Thursday morning in health and strongth he would hold all his votes and would have as good a chance of a nomination as before he fell ill, This shows his popularity and the strength of the devotion of his supporters. UNDER TWO FLAGS. The Republican Club, of the city ot New York, have their headquarters at the Gibson House. On their arrival they found stretched across a wall of the hotel, between the second and third story windows, a large canvas - sign, bearing this scription, ‘‘Ro- form Club, of the city of New York.” Tho intermediate space was left vacant This space the Republican Club had oecupied by the follow- ing signs under the top story windows:—‘‘The Repub- Hean Clab, of tho city of New York,” third story, “Republican Centra! Committee,” and in the vacant space underneath the sign of ‘The Reform Club’? they pat “For President, Rosc»e Conkling.” Colonel Crosby, the President of the Republican. Club, of New York city, who is here, working hard and actively for Conkling, was waited upon by a number of the Reform Club Committee, who demanded from him and the proprietor of the botel that the canvas. boar- ing the name of Roscoe Conkling for Prssident, should be taken down, or clse they (the Reform Clab) would leave the hotel, they giving a3 an excuse for their peculiar request that many of the Western and Southern delogates had called upon them and asked them If they had gone over and were supporters of Conkiing. Colonel Crosby stated that the members of bis club had quartered themselves at that hotel when the Roform Club banner | was floating over the hotel, that they had not objected to it im the slightest aegree; that the Reform Club might hang any numberof banners and portraits of either Bristow or Tilden as their leaders, and the club would not object, but having had the permission of the hotel proprietor to occupy any vacant spaces, he had placed the namo of Roscoe Conkling as their choice for the nomination of President, and as long as he (Crosby) was President of the club he did not propose to allow any person to pull it down, Their colors were nailed there now, and there they should stick. Iftho Reform Club were suc- cessful in nominating Mr. Bristow, or any other re- publi he would pledge his ciub and himself to work with all their heart and strength for his election in the | fall, But having raised the standard of Roscoe Conk- ling he would stand by it and he would not allow any one to pull it down. This discussion caused quite a litue flutter, but peace reigns this evening, AT THE BLAINE UkADQUARTERS thero has been all day, and is to-might, great anxiety over the condition of this prominent candidate, Con- stantcommunication has been kept up by telegraph with an operator in Mr. Blaino’s house, and thus have his friends here been kept momentarily informed of his condition, The despatches received bave not dif- fered materially from those given to tho public, but have been a trifle more hopeful in their general charac- ter. It ts worthy of special note that not an ingenuous thought in regard to Mr. Blaine has rippled the surtace here. Men who are resolutely opposed to that gentleman's candidacy did not want | to be rid of him by any visitation of nature, and though they have said this they have not said it in the intru- sive or ostentatious way that might suggest insin cetity; but some of the telegrams received here trom | Mr, Blaino’s friends have exhibited a meaner spiriy, | and have plainly assumed that advantage would be taken of this calamity to exaggerate it and make use | of it to destroy Mr, Blaine’s chances, This mean con- ception formed by the gentleman’s friends of the char. acter of his opponents 1 utterly falsified by the event ‘That the tall measure of Mr. Blaine’s importance as a candidate had not been taken seems to follow trom the intense interest manifested in all the delega- tions over his condition, as reported from hour to hour, Unless, iudoed, we accept the view of some Blaige men that the mishap had actualy improved bis prospecis, it may seem incredible that these gentiemen should speculate on their candidate’s condition in that style, but it is their view that the prospect of the loss of Mr- Blaine has for the first time opened the eyes of the re- publicans (o the degree in which this gentleman was the type and incarnation of tho epirit of bis party, and that as bis malady will pass away and nov itself be- come an obstacle, the fect that it has brought this so conspicucusly to light will reimai i must affect the action of the party. Discussions like this on this ab- sorbing topic occupy a great share of everyone's tume just pow, THY PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION. A Pennsylvania delegate said to-day :—‘The uncer. tainty avout Blaine’s condition makes his canvass per- ploxing. His strength is surpriving; the Caldwell in. vestigation seems to have had no effect. His friends are confident and enthusastic. It is w fight against Ben Hill or revel supremacy, all other matters aro only secondary, Mortom's canvass is @ surprise, The locality gives him a t.emendous following. This hurts Conkling, nine-tenths of bis delegates aro really tor Conkling, having Morton asa sontiment, but the In diana influence has made this sentiment a reailty, and unless they can break away I am afraid Conkling is gone. It Jooks as if Pennsylvania would fail him. There is a movement, led by MeMichzel and fostered by McPherson, Which threatens to throw the delegation against Conk- ling, or have them go into the Convention divided, ‘The Conkling men in order to hold them are promising {ogo over to Hartranft should Conkling be am impossi- bility, or if linois will present Washburne they pro- pose that New York and Pennsylvania unite and make him the nominee. This, in my judgment, don’t seem Possible, 1 think Cameron asa coup d’état on Blaine men, in bis delogation, may make an allianco with Morton. Bristow has no earthly show beyond polling @ good vote, Pennsylvania and New York will sacrifice all to beat him. New York canvass for first ballot is:— Blaine, 290; Morton, 175; Conkling, 110; Bristow, 80, and rest scattering, INDIANA DELEGATES, Another item of interest in connection with Indiana politics was the arrival of fifteen or twenty prominent men belonging to the Bristow Club, of Indianapolis, who propose to make a war against Morton, Among them are Judge W. 0. Greshi A. G. Porter, ex-mem- Ver of Congress; Judge Chapman, John H. Halliday, editor of the Iudianapolis News, and John D. Howland ‘Theso men will make their influence felt in the ranks of Governor Morton’s adherents, THE TENNESSEE DELEGATION has not all arrived; only eight are here, and the State has twenty-four delegates; the remaining dolegatcs will be hero to-morrow. An organization of the dele- gation will be effected to-morrow, The delegation will stand on tho first ballot Morton 18, Bristow 5, Blame 1, By a resolution in the State Convention the delegation is committed to speedy specie resumption. Tennessee comes with generals, colonels and other field military dignitaries enough to officer an army corps. NEURASKA DELEGATES, This State sends six delegates from the jumping off place to the Black Hills, Nebraska comes instructed for Blaine, and will go Blaine on the first ballot, THE NEVADA DELEGATES are quartered at the St. James, with the exception of Seuator Jones, who has apartments tn the old St. Joe, on Vine street. In addition to Senator Jones the d gates are Senator Sharon, Judge Thomas Wren, Judge C. Harris, Frank Bell and J. Clapp. Mr, Bell basnot yot arrived in the city, and Senator Sharon will not come. Ho will be represented by his alternate, Mr, A. C. Cor. tis, who is also among those who have not reached tho city yet. This delegation is waiting for the facts be- fore deciding upon its candidate, but two of their mem- bers having indicated their choice, These two are Senator Jones and Judge Wren. The Senator is for Conkling, while Mr. Wren ping his faith to Bristow, THX VIRGINIA DRLEGATION has its headquarters in the ladies’ parlor of the St. James, and it is expected that the entire number of members, comprising twonty-two in all, will bein the city this morning. The principal. members of the delegation now at the St, James are WH. H. Stowell, Member of Congress; ex-Senator Lewis; J. F. Desten- dorf, and J. B. Sener, At present the delegation ts supposed to stand 17 in favor of Blaine, 3 for Morton and 2 for Conkling. The Blaine men dectare that they have no second choice, and that they will stand by him to the end should necessity require, THE KANSAS DELEGATES met at their headquarters, Gibson House, this after- noon, and organized by selecting T. C. Sears, one of the delegates from the Third district, as Chairman of the delegation; Charles Leland, of the First district, as Secretary. Mr. T, N. Thacher, one of the delegates at large and editor of the Kai ‘State Journal, was chosen as member of the Committee on Resolutions; Judge A. H. Horton, on the Committee on Crodenuals, and Hon. D. P. Lowe, another of tho delegates at large, on the Committee on Permanent Organization. The delegation comes hore instructed to vote for Blaine, and all of them will stick. THE DAAOTA DELEGATES. Dakota is here with there two delegates, A. Hughes and A, McHench. This delegation will not requiro much organizing. Dakota is for Blaine The Wiscon- sin delegation met at their headquarters at the Bur, nett House, at four o'clock to-day, and organized by electing Hon. E. W. Keyes, the postmaster at Madison, chairman of the delegation, but adjourned without transacting further business, to moet again this morn. ing et ten o'clock. Wisconsin will cast hor solid vote for Blaine, The delegation is a little torn up on the Mnoncial question, some of them being in favor of greenbacks and others for Mig “Tee THE CIFY LAST NIGHT The streets arc full of music to-night and crowded with people, The weather is intensely hot’ The Morton men had a display at tho Grand Hotel this eveuing, at which ex-Governor Cumback and others spoke, The colored delegates also had a meeting and serenade, and were addressed by J. M. Langston and others, The Massa- chusetts delegation held their meeting to-night, and made R. H. Dana, chairman; E. L. Pierce, to Com. mittee on Resolutions; Sanford, Committee on Creden- tials, and Lorirg, Cammittee on Permanent Organiza- tion. No exchange of views took place, Mr. Hoar ro- mains faith{ul to Mr, Blaine, and the delegation is still divided between Blaine and Bristow, with no defection irom the Blaine strength, ‘The latest news here this evening about Mr. Blaine’s health is so definite and satisfactory that the hopes of the Blaine men are at high tide, and they speak confi- dently of bis immediate restoration to health, with the result that all waverers return to their first allegiance, There have been singularly varying reports about him all day, which bave cauaed uocertainty. If to-morrow morning should bring continued favorablo reports there will be an outbarst of enthusiasm for him, and it looks now as though he would keep all his forces together. . MIDStauT, Tho effect of the action of the New York delegation to-day is already manifest, [t has convinced the out- side delegations that if any opposition to Conkling ex- isted in the New York representation it was wholly of @ perzonal and intriguing charactor, with the exception of Mr. Curtis and Mr. Low. After the adjournment of the tion Senator Woodin met with Mr. Curtis, Mr. Low and two or threo otners who had beon, hike Mr, Low, opposed to Conkling’s nomimation op the idea that he was likely to lose tho State of New York, and Mr. Low ox- pressed the opinion that he should vote tor Mr. Conk- ling, having become impressed with tho bolicf that the idea of his unavailability in New York was erroncous Mr, Curtis stated that be bad taken so positive a position and formed #o decisive an opinion in the matter that he could not consistently vote for Mr, Conkling, 11 the delegation even, though he stood alone; but be admitted that the opposition was now over for any practical purpose, and tbat his own posi- tion was now a negative ove, Only Mr. George Obdyke, who has been out of health, and Mr. Fiero, who has een detained on business with Senator Robertson and Speaker Husted ar- rived to-night) They all voted in favor of Mr. Conkling’s nomination on the resolution acted on in the New York delegation to-day; thus making the vote of New York stand 68 for Senator Conkling and two against him. Senator Robertson and Speaker Husted, when asked the ques'ion, admit- ted that teey had made a visit to Columbus to pay their respects to Governor Hayes, The time chosen for this act of graceful inter-State courtesy is regarded here as somewhat singular, although from the fact that both gentiomen so cheerfully und promptly recorded their votes for Mr. Conk seems certain that their visit to the Obio capital would not have been designed to impress upon Governor Hayes tho idea that they would not object to him as the Presi- dential candidate. A prominent New York delegate stated to-night that he felt quite confident that Neither the Westchester Senator nor the Speaker of the New York Assembly would condescend to lay pipe with an outside candidate, although, like all politicians of spirit and ability, they were, no doudt, ambitious of preterment, A close calculation of Mr. Blaine’s strength to-night gives him 260 votes on the first ballot, provided the apprehensions as to the effect of his much deplored at- tack should be removed prior to the meeting of the Convention, His sanguine friends givo him a higher number, KENTUCKY ADANDONS BRISTOW, ‘The Kentucky delpgation met to-night and resolved to present to tho Convention tho name of John Mf, Harlan for permanent President.
