/ The Times comments thus on its specia
dispatches from Chicago: A careful canya
brings into strong relief the utter untrust
, worthness of large portion of the Southern
, delegation. and shows that in some case
where the solid vote of State was counte
for Grant there is danger of dctections. o.

, delegates assumed to be for Blaine or SheI
man, who are now expected TO vote on tn
first ballot for Grant, and in the Norhwes

Grant strength than was given in the Times

canvass will be the liability of southern Re
publicans to yield to corrupt influences, an
