The large number of bankers, railroad men and
people OF vast commercial pursuits In the Grant
Convention operate against Wilson because the
"workingmen' selected him, and there is no dis

votes to say or do anything here which will en-

LATEST POINTS.
Tonight Colfax is ahead. The superstition OF
the Convention Is in his favor A platform has been
composed by Benjamin ii. Steele of Vermont but
Is thought that the Senatorial junta have antici
pacd IL with another strkngly like the Cincinnati
platform.
o. p. Mortons relative, Holloway, is here, and in
the Ohio delegation there are many persons who do
not want DennisOn to stand at all.
Thursday will finish the work, and the twins Will
be called Grant and COlfaX.
