CHICAGO, May 3d. There is much anxiety
as to the action of the national committee on
Monday night, when it meets to decide
upon the temporary organization. The
anti third-terIn men outside the committee
have no confidence whatever in Senator
Cameron. The course up to the present
time OF members of the syndicate has not
been such as to inspire confidence. 1t is
not believed that Chairman Cameron will
keep any Loose agreements he may
make with the committee in relation
to naming temporary presiding officer of
the convention. The boiling ticket of the
Grant men in this county, and the subse-
quent outrageous proceedings at Spring
field, engineered entirely by
General Logan, with the probable
COUNSEL OF BJTH CAMERON AND CoNKLING,
are fresh in The minds of TIE assembled
anti Grant hosts, and they protest against
leaving anything to the choice of an exhibi-
tion of bad faith on the part of the man
who happens to be chairman of the national
committee. They say We have thirty of the
forty seven committee men and havs the
right to desigenate the temporary chairman,
but no matter how strictly and emphatically
they may instruct Mr.. Cameron, that gentle
ment to disregard such instructions, and if
be should determine to execute coup d etdt,
the anti Grant side of the convention, al
though in majority, would be thrown upon
the defense. They say the Logan party
tried to
STEAL THE ORGANIZATION
of the Cook county convention, which con-
sisted OF two-thirds majority against them.
Why then should not Mr.. Cameron and his
Confereres be justly suspected of similar
design upon the National convention. A tre-
mendous pressure will be brought to bear
upon the committee to induce the deposition
of Mr.. Cameron from its craftsmanship, in
order to prevent this apprehended trick. An
informal conference of anti Grant men,
members of the National committee, now in
Chicago, was held last night. There were
twenty present, and the exact attitude of as
many more was reported. The show of
hands developed the fact that the anti Grant
members of the committee numbered 28,
which gives them majority of nine over
their third term brethren. Between the
BLAINE, wAsHBURNE AND SHERMAN
wings, the greatest harmony prevailed, all
being in perfect accord as to the first thin g
in order, namely, the breaking up of the SEN
atorial despotism, which has deprived the
majority of Republican voters of their great
States of their right of representation. The
meeting, though informal, was full of busi-
ness, and for four hours they discussed the
problem before them. A full exchange of
views took place in regard to the unit rule
and the minor question of
TEMPORARY AND PERMANENT PRESIDING OF
FICERs,
for which the following names were suggest
ed: j. B. Cassidy of Wisconsin, Congress
man Butterworth of Ohio, Congressman
Oonger of Michigan, Congressman Hoar of
Massachusetts, James F. Joy of Michigan,
and Ben. Harrison of Indiana. The conclu-
sion reached on the main point was that a
resolution should be prepared and adopted
at the regular adjourned meeting of the
committee, Monday, setting forth that on
all preliminary questions of organization
the chairman shall receive the
VOTES OF INDIVIDUAL DELEGATES
contested delegates not to vote. The exclu-
sion of contesting and contested delegates
from floor of the house was suggested and
talked over, and it seemed as if Spring
field plan inaugurated by the gentleman
from Jackson county, would meet with hearty
cooperation. AS Long Jones says, "a gal.
lery bolt don't amount to anything. ,
Should the whole committee arrive at this
conclusion the
BULLDoZER FROM ILLINOIS
will have to borrow proxy in order to par
ticipate in the temporary organization. Il
was further agreed that the resolution should
be put into the hands of Cameron
and that he should be required tt
say in black and white whether he woulC
carry out the views of the majority of thu
committee. If he fails to give a positiv,
and satisfactory reply the majority vii
doubtless favor electing a chairman who vii
represent the committee. This action vir
tually settles the Irish rule, 80 far as the &C
ton of the national committee can contro
it. Their power, of course, will extend onl,
to steps necessary to secure the temporar,
organization, but it is now certain that tn
very decided action of the committee will bt
followed by large body of the convention
Thus far what the committee has done is in
formal, yet so far as practical results ar
concerned, it will prove equivalent to forma
action.
CONTESTED DELEGATIONS.
Upon the question of contested delega
tions, Secretary Keogh was asked what cours
he proposed to pursue in making up th
rolls. He replied that the matter had nc
yet been decided. In response to questio
as to whether all contesting delegation
would be admitted to seats on the floor, b
said he couldn't tell. How will the Illinoi
contestants be treated? "There is no COZ
test in Illinois," replied Mr. Keogh. 9Th
ONLY contests are in Louisiana and littl
one in Utah. So far as Illinois is concerne
