Inense amount of nioneyvin iron-clams and
guns. The evhientinteution is. ifpo‘sibie

They have also nearly completed, an enor
mous iron-clad. the largest in the world
with solid iron inns ol tweivo inches. it

BLAINE is said to ‘imve gained rt good
deal of slrength in New York recently.
and a good many of his friends In that
State are sanguine of being able to carry
the delegation to the national convention
oi the republicans in his favor next year.
Conkling’s lollowers claim that he will
dictate the choice of the New York deli--
nminn. and that. no nomination can be
made which does not meet with the appro
hutiou or the New York Senator. His in
fluence with the party in his state is undr
niubly great, and it he choose to exercise
it it may defeat or nominate next year.
There is. however. now no special known
reasons why he should not -be as willing
to endorse Blaine as any other of the men
now prominently spoken of in connection
with the phantom. unless it is General
Grant. He would probably prefer Blaine
to Sherman. on account of the latter
connection: with Hayee's administration.
for which Conkling, u is well known. has
no admiration.
