 CHICAGO, May 28.-Numbers of delegates
 are arriving on every train. It is expected
 that all will be here by Sunday At the
 Grand Pacific and the Palmer only those who
 have engaged rooms in advance can be ac-
 commodated, and the smaller hotels are ben
 ell of Hartford, Conn, member of the
 National Republican Committee, has room
 at che Grand Pacific. Hon. F. D. Root of
 Washington and Hon. H. D. Pinchback of
 Louisiana, also members of the committee,
 are at the Palmer House. Among the nota-
 ble arrivals are General H. Fitzhugh of Wash
 ington, W. D. Wight of Shreveport, and T.
 T. Allen of Louisiana. Senator Cameron
 had an attack of sciatica yesterday and re- fused to see visitors in his room but it is
 believed-his indisposition will be only tempo
 rary. There is considerable talk among the
 date for Vice President Among
 those prominently mentioned is Gene
 ral Benjamin Fl. Harrison of Indiana, Governor Wickom of Virginia, Governor Davis of Texas, Judge Thomas B. Settle of
 North Carolina, Lieutenant Governor Has, kins of New York, and others. The colored people will present the name of Senator Bruce of Mississippi, and want the ticket to be Grant and Bruce. They say this ticket would carry half the Southern States. In an interview Chauncey I. Filley, of Missouri, says: C That John Sherman must be nominated for Vice President and must accept the nomination. He thought hn iolya ror7f and Sharrnor11 hn invincible. It would carry every Northern State. He hoped Secretary Sherman would accept the nomination in case Grant was
 nominated for President He thought it would be to his honor, and it would certainly be to the honor of the party"
 Hon. Edwards Pierrepont says he is a party advocate of Grant. He says the bolt in New York is extremely exaggerated, as will be seen when it comes to a test. People not now in fla vor of Grants nomination will come to his support when he is nominated third time. The Germans were the chief bugbears against Grants nomination, but they do not amount to anything. Every as- sertion about Washington's opposition to a third term is wholly groundless, and Germans who are Republicans from principle will not desert the party for mere whim.
 Chairman Barnum, of the National Demo- cratic Committee, is here. He says Blaine would be the easiest man for the Democrats | to beat, but he does not believe he will be nominated. He thinks Grant will get the nomination, in which event the Democrats he says, will put up their strongest man re- gardless of the disaffected Republicans. The Grant people here are arranging for a l mass meeting in the Exposition building Monday night, to offset any impression that
 may have been made by the proceedings of Wednesday evening.
 Senator Pinchback of Louisiana, a strong
 Grant man, in conversation tonight said the Grant bolters in Louisiana were justified be- cause the Central Committee was not allowed to pass upon the credentials and make out the roll before the convention met. The regular convention gave seven Grant dele gates, but, MT. Pinchback said, they are go- 1 ing into the convention with sixteen or none. Grant he says could carry Louisiana, South | Carolina, Florida and Virginia. Ex-Governor Yarmouth who is at the. Gardner House, takes 8 different view. He says Pinch back and Beattie wanted to make l the people believe they controlled the State and could send solid delegation when they could not. They did not live up to their agreement. We wanted harmony,
 said he, and hence planned a compromise We knew we could not give a single electoral 1 vote, but we hoped to have some influence in 1 the nomination.
 Mir. Husted, of Brooklyn, expresses him. l self positively that the people of New York are opposed to Grant.
  1 and New Hampshire delegations, number l ing POO, passed there this morning and will reach here tomorrow. They are principally 1 for Blaine.
 Ex-Governor Pangborn, of New Jer- sey, and several other prominent persons | from that State have arrived; also General Prescott of New Hampshire, Con- gressman Platt of New York and ex-Governor Anthony of Kansas.
 Among the speakers at the Grant ratifca-
 ton meeting Monday night will be Senators
 Roscoe Conkling and J. Don Cameron, Gen eral Stewart l.. Woodford of New York, Chauncey l. Filley of Missouri, John c. New of Indiana, Senator John A. Logan, Robert T. Lincoln, Stephen A. Douglass, Emery A. Storrs and Leon Swett. Joseph Root says that quorum of the National Republican committee will be here Monday and will take the management of affairs out of the hands of the subcommittee. It is reported that Secretary Reynolds of the Exposition direc- tors has said that no political gatherings, Grant or anti-Grant, will be allowed in the buildings until after the convention. The executive committee had formed this deter mination last week, when application by the anti Grant men was made and refused. The contract with the National Committee provides for the use of the build l ings only for the convention. The executive committee was responsible l for $40O, 900 worth of property and did not propose to let in 8 crowd that would perhaps be disorderly and unmanageable. Nothin g could compel the committee to recede from
 this position and they would use all the force necessary to enforce this decision. The Blaine men have appointed number of col | ored Blaine followers in this city to act as 8 | committee of reception of Southern colored delegates. They may be induced to desert from Grants ranks. It is said they intend to open regular coIored delegates headquar- l ters Washburne's friends open their head ,,o,+,,S of fI,a Grand Pacific fO-0ipht
