CANDIDATES FOR THE VICE PRESIDENCY
CixciXNiTl, Ohio, June 10, 1876.
To-day the hotel parlors suddenly blossomed out with
banners and signs showing that they wero occupied aa
headquarters of the different Staio delegations, and
matters are assuming more orderly shape, Urge
numbers of delegates and politicians arrived last niglit,

streets, and their band played in the rotunda ol the
Craud HoleL The greatest curiosity exists t J know
what the Blaine leaders mean to da The Bristow men,
who aro extremely anxious to got Blaine out of the
way persuaded tbomselves yesterday, and tried to per
made the rest ol mankind, that he would probably bo
withdrawn, and they assort to-day that several delega
tions lti which Mr. Blaine was supposed to be very
strong, have broke up and abandoned him. So lar as
ran be ascertained, however, from such
ol those delegations as have arrived, there Is
nothing tu these talcs, and Mr. lllalne's
supporters mean, at least, to mako a thorough trial or
bis strength. In tho Convention colored delegates and
politicians lrom different pans of the country, mainly,
of course, from the South, are hero in large numbers.
The Southern colored dclogute* pretty unanimously
express their obligations to Senator Morton and their

prominent, frankly say that if Mr. Morton s nomination
should seem hopeless tliey would give way as soon as
this becomes evidout In that case there seems every
reason to believe that they regard Souator Conkliug as
the man they would most readily and zealously sup

This seems to bo a general fear on thoir part, and will

WHAT BLAINE'S LiKUTKNAXT SAYS.
I have talked with Mr. Eugene Hale, of Maine, who
ii UlaiiMi's chief lieutenant, and who appears to bave
given his days and nights to study of bow Blaiuj

assure* me that, alter carotal study, hu Unds tho fol

Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Caliloraia, Oregon
and Colorado.
Along with those, which aro expected to go solid lor
Blame, be oxpccts a portion of the delegates in each
of tbe following Stales.
South Carolina, North Carolina, Louisiana, Tenncs
see and Alabama.
licre you have somewncro about 300 votes, wanting
?evenly six as necessary to a choico. In this reckon
ing neither New York or Pennsylvania is counted,
where Blaine has numerous friends and as Mr. Halo
delljfhU, if not deludes himself in saying,
"When the delegations como In here,
fresh Irotn tho people, the sentiment in his lavor will
be overwhelming. He looked upon the recent Blaine
exposition in Coneresa us a big lift lor his candidate.
Tho lrtend8, said he, or Mr. Blaino claim that because
ths democrat* believe him tho most dangerous or their
party ol all tbe candidal oh natced they huve subjected
bun to the ordeal through which he has passed; they
.have done their worst with him; no other candidate
ha? yet been subjected to such assault*, because It has
not been believed by the democrats that any other can
didate stood so largely in their way, but wo know
that other charges auil investigations are pending, and
will be inado by tbo House of Representatives should
tbe action of the Cincinnati Convention indicate tho
need ol thorn. The cflect In Washington on Mr.
Blaine's exposition of Iho situation and tbe reading of
bis letters on Monday was electrical. Not only did it
so aflect members who board ttim, but many
Senators who had bocu drawn to tho hall
ot the House expressed themsolves freely
that tbe vindication was completo, and that
the American people would sustain him by nominating
htm lor the Presidency. Some of those Senators will
bo in Cincinnati. Mr. Blaine's iriends believe that his
strength in the Convention, as made up alter his won
derful series of victories in the State Conventions or
May 20, added to the indorsement of the Stato of Iowa
In tho succeeding week, will ho tally held in tho Con
vention. Nothing lias been rcceivod indicating anv
weakening; on tbe coutr&ry, since Monday last there
have been many prorcssions ol confidence and promise
or support from quarters that had not before botn
friendly.
*K. n LAIN If XOT TO UK PRKSKXT.
In regard to tho engagement or rooms here by Blame
and a desire on his part to take an active part in
inlluencing the sentiment or tbe delegates, Mr. Hale
said that all the rooms lor the Malue delegation, and
their lrieuds in Maine, wore engaged on the day when
tho National Committee selected Cincinnati as tbe
place lor holding tbe Convention. Mr. Blaino at that
time had no intention or coming here; seos no neces
sity lor It at present, and lias no intention to be
here.
TUB WITHDRAWAL Or BLAIKK.
As to the ruuior or his withdrawal, any man who
could havo been In Washington during tbe time since
last Monday aud have seen the feeling there, and more
especially the enthusiastic expressions ot public confi
dence in Mr. Blaine that have poured in by letter and
telegram from almost every State in the Union, would
have been considered little less than mad to talk
?'tout a withdrawal The evidenco, especially on Wed
nesday and Thursday?these being tbe last days before
we left Washington?were or the most marked and en
coursgiug diameter* This Was very noticeable, that
with each day they increased m number and in earn
estness aud lutcnsiiy of expression, so lar as the effect
ot the examination fa concerned. Judging by the talk
or the republican minority or tbe House or Represen
tatives, it has developed a sentiment almost unani
mously in favor of Blaine's nomination.
T1IK SOtTllKR.V DBUCUATIOX.
I have talked with all the leading colored delegates,
including Senator Bruce, or Mississippi; ex-Governor
Pinchback, or Louisiana; State Senator Burch, of Loui
siana; Colonel J. A. Emerson, of Arkansas; William
G. Brown, Statu Superintendent of Education. Louisi
ana; E. G. Barbadoes, ol Washington; Kev. Highland
Uarnet, of New York; Colonol Robert Harlan, ot Cin
cinnati; Ereo. Douglass, and David Young, Slate
Senator ol Louisiana. They are unequally divided be.
twecn Morton and Conkling, a majorliy being tu favor
of the former, but tbo loadiug man among
thorn, Mr. Ered. Douglass, being for Coukltng.
Mr. Pinchback said that he thought Mr. Morton,
more than any other of the candidates named,
had mndo bltnseir popular with the colored people, but
he had uo doubt that 11 the lasuu comes down to Conk
ling, aad that Conkling shows tbo greatest strength, all
the Southern republtctu delesates will go for him to a
man. Mr. Ered. I?ougla3s expressed htraseli lhas:?"I
am in (avor of that candidate who will carry tho party
sulciy through this light; and much as I admire Sen.
ator Morton, I mast conies* I do not think ho is tho
one to do it. Looking over the tleld, I am more aud
more conrinccd that Senator Itoscoo Conkling is the
only man who can save the republican party Irom de
teat. 11c is above suspiciou everyway; he is a thor
ough-paced republican, and though ho Is not as popu
larly known in ttie South as Mr. Morton, his nomina
tion by this Convention will make his name dear to
every loyal heart bo.ow Mason and Dixon's lino."
' Ii is enough to say tbat while tbe colored delegates,
from a certain sense of gratitude to Mr. Morion, feel
they ought to honor him for his services in their
behalf, they will jump at tbe Rrst opportunity to tbo
standard ot Conkling. lie v. Highland Garnet believes
In Conkling, and hu Inllucuco here on his colored
; brethren Is of soma importance. In connection
with the colored dclojatos I might hero state that the
vestibule of tiio Urat?d Hotel this morning presented a
very romarkabio scene. Here were some twenty or
thirty colored men, mixed iu with as tnanv white mes,
shaking hands and discusjing the national aHairs
with us little visible regard to tbo distinctions
ot raco as a pariy exclusively of tho superior tint iu
thu bulls of the Etltli Avenue Hotel in New York. Up
came General J. W. Harlan, a lall, proud Kentuikian,
who traces his blood to Daniel Hnonc, and shook hanus
with a colored citizen Irom Arkansas, whom In other
days hu might have hunted down with bloodhounds
uud treated as a wild beast. It must bo said ol tbe
j colored men who have como hero to tbe Convention
I that they are a s.ugulariy Intelligent, courteous and
j physically hue set ol men. m some rcxpecu ihn peers or
i their Southern wbito associates. Postmaster
i James, of New Y<>rk, lounges in the
hotel corridors wuh a highly flavored Havana
cigar, und In his calm, genial, sanguine wsy, says,
"I havo . no fear or tbe result. Mr. Conkling will l>e
nominated, for he has all the necessary votes m hu
favor."
Colonel Robert M. Douglas, son of Stephen A.
Douglas, United States Marshal from South Carolina,
and delegate to tbe Convention, has au idea of urging,
with the assistance of lha delegates from a lew other
Southern States, the nomination lor Vice President or
Judgj Thomas A. Settle, et North Carolina, who was
President of the Convention that renominated Gram in
187i Tin Southern delegates r.ro very earnest about
having a man from that section oa tbe socond place on
the ticket.

thta little story beoaute I think it is true, but Iwcuuw. I
It seen.s very amusing to Mr. Brlstow's triend* hero
and it is evidently a part of tho "caiupalgu."
Mr. Blaine'a rocent uttcr .nceatu ihe House cause a
great deal ol excitement here. Tho question whether
he u or is not out o! the canvas* is Interininabiv dl*.
cussed, and tlierj is to day a wild rejH.rt in town that
; he moanu to take his placa in tho Convention, aud, by
, inaiu force, socurn hi* own nomination. There uro
| really a food tnauy people who protend 10 think him
capable ol such uu not.
( There is comparatively little talk of Governor Haye...
lie Usa.U by his friend* to discourage all efforts in hi*
betiall, aud, a.s usual inOtio politic*, his local rlvnls are
opposed to him. It is said. lor instance, that ex-Governor
>0yo* i* among tue anti-Uayes men, and the oh,o
Bmtaw men naturally diacoura*. all mention of
Hayes, even lor tho Vice Presidency, ai,d say that such
j of the Ohto delegate* as they do not command lor
Brlatow aro for anybody but Hayes. The Times horo
which ostensibly support* Hayes, ,, commonly bo*
llevod to bo a Morion organ. But after all, Hayes is
not ao friendless. Uen Wade and t^at large part of the
delegation which ho is behaved lo inUuence will give a
Judicious tuppori to the Governor.
Tho Bristow men have brought'their matters 80 Tar
that they have become anxious for a Vtce President lor
tl,,ket- 11 >vus opposed that Mr. Jewell was tnelr
man, but iho report >. that Mr. Jewell believe* himself
to bo the lire u Unknown, and. at at any rate, some of
Mr. Br.slow s friends think Governor Morgan, oi New
^ ork, a more available candidate lor tbciu lor tho Vlco
Presidency. Ho is r.cl.; he I* said to control the
reform clubs in *ew York; tt i* even said that
ho 1* not unwilling, and that he has an Important news
paper behind him. So it may be that "Bristow and
j Morgan" will bo reoominended by ?ome one to the
Convention.
Meantime a curious *tory comes from Chicago tin*
morning, aud with such apparently good authoriiy that
give it to you, though 1 cuunot vouch for it* truth. I
can only say that my Informaut assures me he had it
from a well known Hriatow man in Chicago It u said that
a meeting w.is lately held there, attended by promt
ncut members of the recent Fifth Avenue Hotel Con
fufence, to consider the expediency of entirely and at
ouco withdrawing Mr. Bristow'a name from tho Rcpub
Iican Convention, of calling a convention or the inde
pendent* aud thore nominate him, aud thou recom
mendiug. him as a proper and tne only
r th? S'U ?-?U" Convention,
?>?? HWge or the whole independent and libera
republican vote to the democrat*, If they would uom1
Inate Mr. lir.siow. lt ?* rurther added that this plau'
though very well thougnt of, was not adopted'
becausj some or the newspaper meu present
thought It hazardous, and did not believe, after
the Greeley experience, that they could deliver
the independent vole, or advocate B.tch a movement
without injury to their paper*. It ,* possible also that
the increasing imistortune* of Mr. Uhilno may have
given Mr. Bristow'. adherents greater confidence in
being able to control the Cincinnati Convention. At
any rate, |Qr tho present this plan appears to be laid
aside. V, hether it ? ould bo revived If Bristow should
not bo nominated hero, it is too early to say.

A lurga number of democrats?such as Itandall In tttt

been held and an extensive correspondence car

It Is known that before the last batch of democrat!*

a circular was sent out from Ucmocratlo headquarters
here cautioning tho men wnom it was supposed would
control ibese State conventions against pledging tbell
delegations lor any particular mail. A recolleetion ol
tl.o conventions will show bow well the instruc

been sent here. One come* from Iowa, where it fell
Into the hands of a Treasury olllccr, who. It wai sup

The documont Is very long. It reciter the
