PHILADELPHIA, June 9th, 1875.
The Grant and Conkling intrigue to con-
troll the Cincinnati Convention meets with
violent opposition from the prominent Re-
publicans Of this city and throughout tho
State, after Hartranft and Blaine has been
their expressed choice for the first place on
the ticket, and to have Don Cameron At
tempt to sell out the delegate vote Of the
State for his own promotion is enervating
to independence and humiliating to party
pride. But to sum the whole matter up,
they intend to let Don Cameron and his
fathers see that while they may control
Conventions and Caucuses, they cannot lead
the party blindfolded in any direction or
into schemes that will contribute personal
gain and insure no benefit to the interests
of the party In promoting tho advancement
of an election. Col. VIM. Il. Mann and
General Bingham are the leaders here In
this opposition, and they, with several
others, left Philadelphia, this afternoon, for
Washington, to confer with Mr.. Blaine in
regard to his position in the caucus. of his
name for the Presidency. This can safely
be regarded as the faint musketry of the
skirmish line, but when the battle fairly
opens, 1t will turn Into a war Of political
canonading, such as will convince Grant,
Conkling and Cameron that when they are
ready to be led by the nose, 1t will be by
wiser and honester gentlemen than these
political scavengers.
