Loring of Massachusetts then came forwardjjand read the'report of the committee on organization. TbeNew York Times, refer ring to the action of the conven tion x says: people who read the evening papers must have jumped to the conclusion that Blaine's iyiendshave captured the conven tion, and that their candidate had fte nomination within easy NO. 4b JJJl"".ll'i'!L jJ"L" i'Ji,JJLL'JLJg!iWlm- reach. The attentive reader of this mornings dispatches in the Times "will come to a different conclusion, and. we need hardly say that our correspondents are all instructed simply to state what they believe to "be true.. Other papers hold' to conflict ing opinions. Correspondents are hopelessly irrecconcilable, the World declaring Blaine reasona bly sure of success; the Times, on the contrary, showing by facta and figures that he is not so strong as yesterday, and weakening stead ily. Nearly all correspondents conclude to think that the A,ell known candidates will kill eacli other off. The Herald's Washington- dis patch states that leading Demo-, cratsin Congress say there- are matters behind, which will be brought out on Blaine, if he should be nominated, that will prove fatal to him. One of these gentlemen said that the Repub lican party could not elect Blaine. He spohe candidh;, and enjoys the reputation of always acting honorably, even, sometimes, at the expense of political advan tage. A San Francisco dispatch of the 14tli says that the small pox, which a week ago seemed ding out, has apparently taken a new lease of fife. Qn Sunday four cases were reported, Monday, one Tuesday two, and Wednesday seven, of which iive were in one family. All exhibit a mild type of the disease except one Qhinanien, who died. The new cases 'are pretty well scattered. A prominent grain operator gives the California surplus Avheat for shipment this season at three quarters of a million short tons, exceeding by 200,000 tons' the crop of IS 72, The yield is unu sually heavy in all- parts of the State, and in quality the best ever known in the State. He gives the price for July delivery along side the ship at 90 cents per bushel. He anticipates no diffi culty in procuring labor for har vesting, or transportation from the interior, unless the bulk of the crop is held until late in the season, which would probably over-tax thc railroad facilities: Tonnage here and known to be i on the way amounts to 450,000 . tons carrying capacity, and enough is expected between now and .December to take all offered. The surplus barley is estimated at 7.3,000 tons at fifty cents along side tlie ship. .TheC. & 0.
