 candidacy of Tilden. After promising that it ters into an analysis of the vote which nomi- mated him in 1876 and compares 1t with his 1 chances for renomination as measured by the

 Illinois Republicans-A Protest from the Anti-Grant Men. CHICAGO, May 22.-The following card from MT. c. B. Farwen was published to. 1 day:
 To the Republicans of Illinois By the personal and desperate exertions of Senator Logan, of the Commission of Inter nal Revenue, and his collectors, and by the disgraceful interference of national officials in primaries and county conventions, General Grant has apparently carried Illinois by the
 contemptible majority of 38, with Cook coun- ty unrepresented. If the whole ninety-two delegates of Cook county had been admitted, the vote would have been 54 against Grant, If the fifty-six uncontested delegates from Cook county had been allowed to vote there would have eighteen majority against Grant. The convention was packed from it's organization. The chairman was ordered to recognize only certain persons. Debate was cut of, and parliamentary law neglected or overruled as the exigency required. What is
 so meagre a majority in his own state worth to General Grant ? The anti-Grant districts
 have appointed district delegates and will
 present them at Chicago Logan and Garce-
 lon stand as the political burglars of the
 time; and Logan's crime against liberty will,
 in the end bring him no more spoil than was won by Garcelon. c. B. FAREWELL. call has been issued for a mass demon
 stration in Central Music Hall on Wednesday evening against the action of the state con- vention in not admitting solid anti-Grant delegation from Cook county A Loud Howl Against Fraud. ST.
