card from C. B. Farwell will be published to-
"SPR1SGrIELD, May2l.
To the republicans of Illinois.
BY the personal excrtions of Senator Logan,
of the commissioner Of the internal revenue and
his collectors, disgraceful interference of Ma
tional officials in primaries and county con-
ventions, Gen Grant has apparently carried
Illinois by contemplate majority of SO,
with Cook county unrepresented. If the
whole 90 of Cook COUNTY had been admitted,
the vote would have been 50 against Grant If
the Sc uninstructed delegates from Cook
county had been allowed to vote there would
have been Is majority against Grant. The
convention was packed from the organization.
The chairman was ordered to recognize only
certain persons. Debate was cut off per-
emptorily. Law was neglected or overruled
as exigency required. What is so meagre a
majority in his own State worth to Grant?
Anti Grant districts have appointed district
delegates and will present them at Chicago.
Logan Al GarcelOn stand as the political
burglars of the time, and LOgan's crime
against liberty will in the end bring him no
more profit than was won by GarcelOn."

anti Grant delegation from Cook county.

Grants Candidacy.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May %. A Galena special
to the Tribune says: The Galena Gazette,
whose editor is a personal friend of General
Grant and knows whereof he asserts, will
publish the following tomorrow.
IAN item has been going the rounds of the
press asserting that George w. Childs Of the
Philadelphia Ledger had stated that General
Grant would order his name withdrawn from
| the contest at the National convention in
Chicago. Neither G. w. Childs nor any
one else has authority for making such an as.
sertion. General Grants name has never
como before the Duhlic as candidate for prc 81
dent BY any word or act of his own and he
most certainly will not order his name with
drawn. A very large class Of American peo
| pie have chosen to make him their candidate
| and if the republican National convention al
Chicago see fit to tender him the nomination
he will not decline it. This we know to be I
fact, and We publish it because it is we'll tina
! the republicans of the country should ceas'
| N hold the matter in douht.'
