OTHER CANDIDATES THAN GRANT
EXCITEMENT
CHICAGO, June 2.-The Imperial
lists are again in caucus tonight in
the Palmer House. They caucussed
several hours last night, and Conk-
ling made long speech. After
coming from this conference he told
me that might depend upon il
that Grant would be nominated
1T is just as CERTAIN" said he, las
that he is alive next Friday"
won't you please tell me how
you figure this out 20 l asked"
"Ah, there now," don't want to
go into details" he replied. "You
must have faith in what tell you"
He is equally confident Tonight
So are his henchmen and his coadju-
tors. Logan, Cameron, and Carpen-
ter but believe this is largely as
sumed. 1t is no secret that some of
the New York delegation are talk
ing of entering Conkling for the
race. The Sherman and Wash
burne followers are already saying
that Blaine will be killed by the
Imperialists, but the Blainites are
confident and jubilant, and insist
that he will be nominated on the
third ballot. 1t is scarcely possible
that ballot will be reached to-mor-
row. The day will be consumed in
the fights over the report of the
committees. 1t will be fierce and
hot work.
The scene toward midnight tonight Is
enlivening TO the last degree. The anti
third-termers are in ecstasIes, and are
roaring with delight in the rotundas and
corridors of the hotels. Their bands are
parading the streets playing "Yankee
Doodle" and the national airs. Blaine
skirTnishers penetrate to every nook, and
John Sherman's scouts rival his brothers
Georgia bummers in activity.
AT 9 O'Clock Sherman glee club sur
rounded the parlors OF the New York
delegation and sang the tollowng verses
To the music Of Johnny Comes March
ing Home:'
'Tis stamped upon the peoples hearts.
Hurrahi hurrah
No man may serve the robbers part.
Hurrah Hurrahl
More than two terms as PRESIDENT
or Freedoms glorious government
The third term scueme the people do
condemn.
This heart writ law we'll not repeal.
Hurrah hurrahl
For what? For who? For woe or veal?
hi
Forever sacred shall IL stand,
A mighty rock for Freedoms land.
The third term scheme the people do
condemn.
Well guard this law, aye. let II sta nd,
Hurrah hurrah!
A mighty rock for freedom's land,
Hurrah hurrah
No third, no fourth, no other term,
OF royalty this slightest germ.
The third-term scheme th3 people dc
condemn.
The Grant men threatened an assault
The Sherman men advised them not Il
lose their temp.rs, and assured then
that the sereuade was made with tht
utmost good nature on their part. The
New York Imp rialists could not see Il
in this light, aud were about to attempt
to drive them from tbe corridor, when
the Sherman Club retired In good or
| der.
A troupe of Blaine men longer than
the New jersey sea sepent is winding
through the hotels at lockstep singing
John Browns Body and cheering for Jim
Blaine of Maine. The Palmer House is
a perfect pandemoium. The air is sitting
and it is as hot as Tophet. The rotunda
is white with electric light. Its galleries
are crowded with ladies. The Imperialisls
have redouOled their exertions In the
way of decorations. Grant Is served up
friccaseed, boiled, baked, fried, stuffed
| grilled, bedeviled and on the half she'll
His picture is stuck up at every corner,
| over such notices, "Honored by ali
nations," 81 have no policy opposed to
| the people," and so on. The angry pas
sions of his retainers increase with the
desperation of their fortunes. Blood flows
most freely under a constellation of gas
Jets forming the words, "Let us have
peace" The anti-Grant men are swing
ing out banners and lighting Transparent
cies.
A huge banners swings opposite tie
quarters of the Sherman men bearing the
inscription: "Resumptionand Prosperity

thus IN large letters:
"Nominate Grant and lose New York.
"Nominate Grant and lose ohio.
"Nominate Grant and lose the cleo

Everybody is anxiously awaiting the
morrow.
