As things now look, it is impossible to judge how the slate stands. The Geaxy element, is veryrutitbytiastio and are playing the brag game, really counting on more strength than he can possaibly develop. ;The- first ballot will, ,in alk probability, decide whether Geary is to be the, next Governor or not. General Harry. White Is not sanguine of success unleds 'the raiikt; of' Geary pie broken and a general scramble made. In that event Ketchum's friends claim that he will go through. There is a prob. ability that a new man will be sprung in the Convention, but this hint, myste riouNly. giver!, Ily r , the. wire-pullers, is thought to beaieeler or ruse-to diecoret how close the delegates instructed mean to stick to their men. A caucus held at j the Girat 1188 tiia o to night was largely attended, and meas ures were talked over. The effort to in troduce the war plank in the platform does not meet with much favor, but has a good many warm adiedates. The caucus held at the Continental, in -the interest of Geary, was well attended, and if slipresentlwere allyl4l- iriendsi an I no spies iD the camp, the renomina tion of the Governor can be depended ', upon.
