WASHINGTON, May 9th. = William Z.
Chandler left for Chicago last night with full
authorization, it is said, to manage the con-
test for Senator Blaine before and during the
Convention. His capacity for trust of this
kind is unsurpassed, and on good authority it
NAV be stated that he intends TO push the
Blaine fight from the start. He claims that
there is a committee of five within the Ex-
ecutive Committee Of the National Commit
tee which has control Of all the Convention
arrangements. In this committee there
is majority of Blaine men. If
Chambers claita is correct it will give the
Blaine forces the control of the Convention
hall and the regulation Of the tickets of ad-
mission. MIR. Chandler says also that the
rest of the twelve districts of Illinois must
be respected OF course all controversies
will be settled by the Committee on Gre
dentials This committee is made up of
forty-seven members, each State and Terri
torial delegation naming one of its number
to serve thereon. 1t is claimed by Blaine's
friends that he viii have twentyfour mem
bers on that committee friendly to his inter
ests, and will have control of it. Aside from
this, several States which are not friendly to
either Grant or Blaine are expected to name
members on the Credentials Committee un-
friendly to Grant. The plan viii then be
to bring in report admitting the protest
ing delegation from Illinois. OF course
if the Grant men are in numerical major
ity in the Convention, such a report can be
voted down, but it is easy to see how good
deal of bad blood is thus liable TO be stirred
up. The nomination of Senator Blaine will
Will be made by either exCongressman
Hall or Congressman Frye. Secretary
Sherman will be placed in nomination
by Gen. Garfield. He said to-day, with ref
eTence TO the report that he would be a can
didate tor the Vice-Presidency: g anna can
didate for the Presidency only, and I propose
to remain a candidate until | am defeated"
Gen. Robinson, Chairman of the Ohio
Republican State Committee, as he was
leaving Washington for Chicago last
night, said: 1--WE propose to nail Ohio's A
Notes to the masthead for Secretary Sherman,
down." Whereat bystander made the
cruel remark. Grant is q good shot"
Washington friends of Gen. Grant continue
to be exultantly confident. Senator ConkEng
leaves for Chicagonext Thursday 1t lis settled
that he is neither to be temporary nor perma-
nent presiding officer of the Convention.
Conkliug will lead Grants fight on the
floor, after he has placed him in nOmina-
ton. The talk now is that Senator Hoar
Chairman. This would not be either
a
concession to the other candidates. The
Grant men claim confidently that they have
a reversionary interest in all of Edmunds'
delegates, aud in the Southern delegations.
1t is quite generally conjectured that Don
Cameron's check book, or very possibly some
other candidates barrel" may do consider
able missionary work among the latter.
TiIden's CandEdacy-Eis Chances of EIec-

Especial to the RECORD UNIoS.l
New York, May 24th-The World de-
clares that there is not the slightest ground
for the belief that Tilden can by any means
whatever be elected, but that there is the
strongest ground for the belief that he cannot
be, and cites the Oregon case as one of the
most serious impedipents. 1t says I'VE
lay before our readers this morning care
fully di6ested abstract of the only too famous
Oregon case, together with certain eloquently
suggestive kilograms and other communica-
tions bearing vitality upon the grave question
of Tilden's personal responsibility for the
positions taken and for the work done by
| individuals close to his person and hold
| ing most confidential relations with him.
We have nothing to say as to the true signifi-

| Portable Oregon case. We content ourselves

| PRINT IL to-day, as c0lorlesS narrative as
could well be made, but is there any Demo-
crat in his right mind, North or South, who
possibly need to be told what fate awaits any
party who goes into the next Presidential
campaign with a candidate about whom such
