cage Convention: OF course Don Came
ron, when he calls the Convention to
order, will be obliged to nominate for
Temporary Chairman whoever the Ma
tional Committee selects, but it will be
arranged to have some leading Grant man
for the place. On that there will have to
be a vote by the Convention, and an attempt
will be made to enforce the unit rule when
the vote is taken. OF course some dele
gates from Pennsylvania, New York and
other States will insist on voting differ
emily from the majority Of their delega-
tions from these States, but Cameron, who
will be in the chair, will decide that the
unit rule is binding on all delegates repre-
senting States in which it was adopted.
If the anti-Grant men appeal from this
decision. and a vote is taken on the appeal,
Cameron will decide again that the unit
rule must be enforced in this vote also.
The Grant men are talking about this pro-
gramme very freely to-day, and assert,
with the greatest apparent confidence, that
by the help Of Cameron and the unit rule,
they will not only get the Temporary Chair
man, but also when it comes to the choice
Of Permanent Chairman they will secure
him likewise by the same tactics. OF
course Blaine's nearest friends, and those
who will manage his case in Chicago, now
all about this scheme, and are making
preparations to ~checkmate Cameron and
his followers.
A Demoralixed stock Market.
New YORK, May pa more democrat
lied market than was presented during the
morning operations Of yesterday has sell
dom been seen. The bears had it all their
own way, while there was generally a
Strengthening Of margins in the brokers'
Offices. The afternoon presented an ex-
traordinary change, attended by signs of
equal excitement. The bears discovered
the market was heavily oversold, and made
haste to cover. This action, together with
the large purchases for long account by
leading operators, resulted in an advance
of from 2 to 81 per cent. from the lowest
point. The coal shares led the upward
movement. There was q regular scramble
to cover short contracts. In fact, the sud-
den turn partook more Of the character Of
a bear panic than anything else. Rumor
has it that Gould and Keene are again in
accord. At q meeting Of the coal compa-
MES in the afternoon, an arrangement was
entered into to advance the price Of coal
thirty cents per ton, to take effect June
18th next.
