The Situation This Morning.

The Situation This Morning.
CHICAGO, June s. 1880.
The sixth day Of the convention opens with
that it viii result in a nomination. 1t was the
field last night that moved and carried an ad-
jourpment, and on whomsoever it can unite he
will be today nominated The opinion seems
to be that late to-day Washburne, or possibly
Garfield or Edmunds will be the fortunate man,
though the Grant line will remain solid for some
time In the heignborhoOd OF 800. 1t is still con-
fdent and fired salute last night over its vic
tory In forcing the opposition to adjourn, and If
1t can secure eighty votes out OF the break up, OF
Grant will be nominated. Such was the situa-
ton when the convention came to order this
morning.
The Morning Papers
take different views. The Times thinks the
Grant line will light it out If it takes all sum-
mer. The Inter- Ocean says there is no doubt
that Grant will secure enough from Wisconsin
and elsewhere to nominate him. The Tribune,
strong anti-Grant this morning discusses the
possibility OF his nomination, which virtual ad-
mission, very much elateS the Grant men.
Urging the Grant Leaders to Stick.
There are hundreds Of dispatches from all
parts OF the country to the Grant leaders urg-
ing them to stand firm. A. B. Mullett tele-
graphs from New York that the enthusiasm Is
rising for Grant, and that he can carry New
York.
