: WASHINGTON, D. T., May 21.-1t IL difficult
ID tell whether tho Democrats or Grant men
re the most pleased by the news from tho
Illinois Convention. The Grant men throw
Aelr hats high iu tho air, and do not stop to
think that tho result at Springfield was nc
.eomp!ished by bulldozing, by revolutionary
suppression Of tho declared sentiments OF q
considerable portion OF tho people, and by q
Violation Of the very principle laid down by
The Convention Itself. They say that the
nce Is over, tho goal won, and that there no
longer eau be n question 'that Grnnt
.sll be nominated upon the frat
ballot Tho Democrats, accepting the inter-
psetatton OF this Grant mon, express their de-
light aud say that Gen. Grant Is the candl-
date aboye oil others named In the Repub-
Lean party whom they would select as the
easiest man to beat The antl-Qrant men
sls not at atl alarmed at the result. Said one
Of Tie most conspicuous Of their number to-
night: ut Is very extraordinary that tho
friends Of Grant should make such noise
over tho simple fact TINT Grant hns carried
biz own 6tate. and by
USE OF auCH MEANS -.
y those by which the result has been
secured. This ia especially remarkable in
new Of the fact tint from tho crest OF the
Al'eRhonfcs to the Pacific Ocean lo Is not to
set another vote In addition to those he Inns
secured to-day. Tho Grant roll-cnll Is ended,
ND the Blaine men maintain TINT Gen. Grant
Elll lacks 100 votes OF nomination on first

ne great States Of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan,
Iona, Minnesota, Nebraska, Wisconsin,
w where are tito votes for Grant
Ae has carried Illinois by securing q
majority In the Convention, first by
acknowledging the principle OF local
presentation, and then instructions have
essn obtained, for Grant by throwing TINT
