CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, May 10.-Judge Cation, Of Ottawa.
a prominent Democrat, has written another
letter to the Chicago Times reasserting that
the only way to prevent the election Of Grant
is for the Democrats to unite on Greeley, and
replies to the Times editorial which takes q
different view. The Democrats in this State
are greatly divided as to the best course. and
most of them are awaiting the action of the
National Committee. Judge Cation under
takes to show that Mr.. Greeley is standing on
Democratic ground, with one single exception.
and says that as President he can't be hostile
to them.
Three carpenters who are on strike,
entered shop yesterday where non-union
man was working, and thretened him sosvio-
lently that he fed to the police and had the
men arrested. This is asserted BY some to be
the beginning of serious trouble between the
strikers and non-union men. but the leaders
insist that there Is to be a strike, and that no
force or intimidation win be allowed. The
immense turnout of the working men on the
18th is looked for with interest.
