THE POLITICAL CANVASS. We have waited to the last moment that we might be able to give our read ers the latest from the primaries, but are disappointed in being able to give anything posiiive or definite. Boynton, however, evidently has a majority of instructed delegates oyer Bacon,but not of the whole convention. Boynton’s most favorable chance, therefore, to get the nomination will be on the first bal lot, which cannot be accomplished if the two-thirds rule should be adopted.— The chances are very favorable for a lock ip the convention, which will al most certainly defeat both Boynton aDd Bacon, and result in the nomination of a new candidate altogether.
