TWO CONVENTIONS.
To-morrow two political conven-
lions ot opposing parties assemuie,
. it. i
the one State, the other national; tne
first. Dpmncrfttm Conservative, the I
second; Republican. The Conserva
tive Convention of North Carolina
will meet in Metropolitan Hall, Ra
leigh. It will bo a large body with
delegations from probably all the
counties. .We believe it will be an
earnest, determined, united and har
monious gathering of representative
Democrats. It is hoped that its ac
tion will be wise and courageous.
Only by haying discreet leaders and
properly supporting them can the
Conservative party win the victory
next November. There is no use in
blinding ourselves with over-confi-l""w
Apathy would be our ruin.
Bungling would be as bad as over
conGdence and apathy r Wisdom and
vicror can alone make the State safe
to our party. As there are such tre
mendous responsibilities : devolving
upon them, we presume the delegates
to the Convention will act only after
great deliberation and with a purpose
to. make the strongest nominations
possible.
At Cincinnati, where, in the coun- J
try at large, all political interests
, . -j , I
' I
tionat Aonvention will convene in
Exposition Hall. The body will be I
composed of 754 members, represent-
ing the various States, Territories and
the District of Columbia, and 378
votes, abaro majority, will be neces
sary for the choice of candidates for
President and Vice President. The
seating-capacity of the hall where the
convention is to be held is 5,084,
leaving seating accommodations for
only a little over four thousand per-
uons apart from the delegates. Some
fivo thousand persons .in -attendance
on the convention had arrived in Cin
vinHati on Sunday. The seating ar
rangements will be totally inadequate
for a proper accommodation of onc
fonrth tho vast throng. This is usu
ally the case at National conventions
ot both parties.
No idea can be formed at this dis
tance, or indeed anywhere, of what
the Convention' at Cincinnati will do.
Tbc leading jcandidates fare Blaine,
Conkling, Morton, Bristow, Hayes,

they may arrange.
Now the Charlotte Democrat: "No
more communications announcing
candidates for nominations will be
published in these colnmns without
full pay in advance. Let those who
want frhyids brought forward show
their taith by their works or money."
Our brethren of ; the State press are
beginning to realize that self-protection
is the firnt law-of nature.

Cincinnati, June 11.
Five thousand is estimated as the
number of strangers in Cincinnati
torday. Probably not one-half of
the delegates are yet here, but the
train of camp followers has, it is said,
seldom if ever been excelled. Du
ring the day the streets have given
little indication of the accession to
the noDulation. as the rjierciner ravs
of the sun shot down with a tropical
force, but indoors the delegates and
their retainers were busily engaged
in the work of furthering the pros
pects of their separate favorites
Among those here are most of the
leading members of the different del-
egations. and the amount of plotting
and counterplotting is wonderful.
PROSPECTS OF BLAINE.
The friends of Mr. Blaine, like
their leader, keep a stiff upper lip,and
repeat with great emphasis that there
is no doubt of his. nomination, bnt
notwithstanding their seeming confi
dence close observers can detect a
very considerable uneasiness as to tho
result. The opponents of Mr. Blaine
say that his only salvation is to get
the nomination on the first ballot,and
this few of his most ardent friends
have ever dared to hope for.. After
the first or second ballot it i.s" con
tended that Blaine's strength . will
scatter and go to the other candi
dates. Representative Frye and Bale
seem engineering the canvas for Mr.
Blaine to-day, reinforced by Senator
llamhn.
WORKING FOR CONKLING.
The most effective work of to-day
has "been done in the interest of Sen-
. I Tl IT
ator JonKiing. 11 is managers are
A. B. Cornell,' Tom Murphy and
Little Johnny Davenport. Ten
handsome parlors are set apart at the
urrana ana me uioson noieis lor tne
use of the New York delegation. It
1 is said that not less than one thou-
gand conkling men, gobd and tra
I are with the delegation, and from the
I number of Conkling badges that are
seen the figures do not seem to be
over-stated. In the luxurious par
lors of the Grand Hotel set apart for
the delegation, Messrs. Cornell and
Murphy have all day entertained a
stream of callers. A picture of the
divine Koscoe is set over the mantel
for his admirers to gaze upon, and.
in accordance with hia well-known
A. . .
temperance principle ice-water is
the only refresh meut openly dis
pensed.. The tine band of the Ninth
New York Itegiment is with the
Conkling party, who appear all to be
abundantly supplied with funds,
One of the friends of the New York
Senator said to-night that he tli.l not
know who was to pay for it all, but
it would cost somebody 5l),0()().
THE ANTi-CONKLTN(t EN.
Rill.- li. llohprts firuWiov Vontrm
of New York, are. here workinjr
against Mr. Conkling. A dozen
U. S. Senators are on the ground, and
nearly every one of them is active in
Mr. Conkling s lnleicst, jjlthonuh
half, at least, are popularly supposed
to be for Senator Morton. It U now
denied that the South Carolina dele
gation will go for Conkling. Ben
Wade's friends deny that he is for
Blaine. "' ;" '

l SECRETARY CAMERON. 3
Don Cameron arrived I last night,
but was so much indisposed that, he
immediately proceeded to his room
at the "Grand." To-day great anxie
ty prevailed to know .his programme,
but he is still sol unwell that-he de
clined to put any of his wires in op-.
eration , . . I - , ,
iJ TBE COtOBKDl)ELEGATES.
Frecf Dodglas, whoisfi'or" Conk
hC was "aroiind" the Hew York
headquarters la good deal J and was an
objector much attention.:: A here are
perhaps as many as ntty otoer coi-
pred delegates, put Bot rnucn nonor
was. bestowed .upon them. One of
the Southern" white delegates said,
"these niggers are a great nuisance.
They will. come to the conventions
and tnen : we nave to pay tneir ex
penses." j
; 5 1 , -THE BEISTOW STATEMENT.
.Of .all the candidates Mr. Bristow
seems, to. nave tne least Known
strenerth among: the deiegrates. Tho
local sentiment is largely in. his fa
vor, and his photograph stares at the
passer-by from every shop window,
where it hangs side by side with clog
dancers and ballet girls. I
. ATTEMPT AT POOL-SELLING.
An attempt was made last night
to sell pools on the nominations, but
opinion among the sporting frater
nity - was se much at sea that there
werO no offerings, r. It will: be tried
again to-morrow.
A BITTER CONTEST.
A great deal of bitterness prevails
among ttio lriends ot tne opposing
a 4 a . -
candidate?, and this will have a ten
dency to prolong the contest, so that
now it is anticipated that the Con
vention may be three days in conclu
ding its work.
THE TERRITORIAL DELEGATES.
Of. the eighteen territorial dele
gates sixteen are for Blaine and two
for Bristow. These gentlemen were
put in a terrible state of I ferment to
night by a report that a resolution
was to be offered in the Convention
denying them the right to vote be
cause of the Territories having no
electoral votes.
TREACHERY.
Later the Blaine men were dis
turbed by what they termed another
evidence of the treachery of the
Conkling partv. It was discovered
that for the last two days Conkling
emissaries had wormed! themselves
into the confidence of j the Blaine
men and obtained possession of some
of their secrets.
It has been loudly proclaimed that
there are assurances from the Derao-
cracy that if he is nominated at Cin-
cinnau iney win inuorso i.inra at ot.
Louis-, It is believed there is not the
least foundation for this statement,
but it is having its effect. .
&oiicitor Wilson, who; 14 iiere, is
said to bo Mr. Bnstow's riirht-hand
man.
So far there has scarcely been any
talk about the officers of the conven
tion, the question of thei candidates
swallowing up everything else.
A PARADISE FOR POLITICIANS.

of the citizen or the stranger in Cin
cinnati. The bars and the saloons
where the famous Cincinnati lager is
dispensed have been open all day,
but, rare as it may seem ! on such an
110 evidence ot undue in
dulgence has exhibited i itself. Al
though faro banks are norninaliy un
der tne ban, delegates and visitors
are anxious to fight the tiger, and ex

DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
Timothy Lubey, Simon Wolf and
Col., .brooks, 01 the District of Co
lumbia, havo arrived. Gov. Shep-
nera will be here to-morrow.
i i 'ANOTHER .REGIMENT. :
The late trains to-night brought in.
more than one thousand additional
delegates and visitors
Three hundred additional Blaine
outsiders came in to-night.
COUNTING UP.
It is said that a careful count to
night gives Bristow some 12 or 15
votes from New England which had
been depended on lor Blaine. Mr.
Blame's friends claim over 300 votes
on the first ballot, Morton's nearly
200 and Bnstow's 80. Conklins's
friends do not now claim that he will
start with much else beside New
York, but they expect the big licks
to be put 111 on the succeeding bal
lots.

New York, June 13.
The Tribune specials from Cincinnati
say: "frobaoiy tne most striking lact 01
news from Cincinnati is that the menus 01
Mr. Conkling, who are working very hard,
are trying to break down Blaine's support
by arguments derived from his sudden ill
ness. Only the Vermont and Michigan
following of Mr. Dlaiue, however, is wa
vering at present, and his nomination on
the third ballot is predicted. .
"Conkling is gaining Southern delegates,
and taking away votes from Morton. It is
now certain that only a few votes from
Pennsylvania can be delivered to Conkling.
That gentleman, however, is now claimed
to be a sure second in strength to Uiaine,
and it is said Mi. Morton will be dropped
early in balloting."
Other specials say: "The Blaine dele
gates from various sections held a meeting
and voted that Blaine s name should be
presented in Convention by Frj'e, to l e
followed by lngcrsoil, of Illinois, and if
necessary, by J. II. Howe, of Wisconsin, a
nephew of the Senator.
