CHICAGO, January 9.
The Inter-Ocean's Washington special
saws: Mr.. Frazier, Of Philadelphia, an
active worker for Secretary Sherman, was
here Yesterday. He states that the feeling
in favor of Sherman in Pennsylvania is
growing very rapidly, and that the feeling
for Grant, which was almost unanimous
at one time, has subsidized a great deal,
and that when the State Convention meets
the delegates to the National Convention
will not be instructed for Grant. Repub-
licans in largely German counties report
that it would not be safe to nominate
Grant. as the Germans will not vote for
him, and he doubts if Grant could carry
the State. The people are as a mass for
Blaine first, Sherman second, and Grant
third. Frazier thinks the Pennsylvania
delegation will vote as a matter Of compli-
ment for Cameron, as in the last Conven-
| ton they voted for Hartranft. He thinks
the Grant enthusiasm will die out by the
time the Chicago Convention meets, and
that the Pennsylvania delegation will then,
| after casting one vote for Cameron, cast q
| solid vote for Sherman. Senator Cameron
! laughs at this prediction, and says that as
long as Grant is in the field the Pennsyl-
vania delegation will vote for him.

PORTLAND, Me-, January Q.
A dispatch to the Argus says the Repub-
licans propose to test the legality Of the
organization of theHouse and bring the mat
ter in some way before the Supreme Court,
one way mentioned being by an injunction
to prevent the State Treasurer from paving
mileage and salaries to the members. 1t
is said that Mr.. Blaine had a violent fit on
Wednesday night, brought on by over
work in carrying the sack. Physicians
were with him for five hours. Startling
developments are expected when the Brib-
cry Committee gets to work.
AUGUSTA, January 9.
The conference at Blaine's house last
night lasted until a late hour this morning.
Teams were coming and going to and from
the house as late as l O'Clock. In the hous e
all was quiet, the principal offices being
brilliantly lighted. No men were visible,
but men we're there. At the Augusta
House, every person who entered or went
out up to 2 O'Clock, was an object of sus-
picion and was closely watched until his
business was known. This morning the
Republicans are somewhct nervous. and
the Fusionists a little panicky. Some OF
them are anticipating a struggle for the
| possession of the House, while all are
| eager for the promised bribery revelations.
This morning, when the House met, nc
| Republican was in the hall, and Mr.. Locke
was the only one in the Senate. This al
once gave the clue to the Republican policy
As soon as the reading Of the Journal was
| finished, Mr.. Swami, of Minot, rose to a
question OF privilege, and gave an account
Of the attempt to bride him. The name OF
the accused party is Wallace r. White, OF
Winthrop. Mr.. Herman testified that
the same offer had been made to him by
White.
