ANTI-GRANT MEETING IN CHICAGO.
CHlcAeo, Nav 27.-A very large and en-
thusiastic meeting was held in Central
Music Hall last night at the call of the
Farwell Hall Republicans, who were beat
en- by John Logan in the Springfield Con-
ven,ion, and an overfowing meeting was
held also at Farwell Hall. The speakers
vigorously denounced the work OF the
Springfield Convention and Senator Logan
in particular. The popular expression was
that If the National Convention did not
remedy the wrongs done them at Spring
field they would do the best they could to
right matters at the ballot box in Novem.
Der. A series of resolutions were adopted
to be presented to the Credential Commit
tee OF the National Convention protesting
against the practical disfranchisement of
the people Of ten Congressional Districts.
WILL APPEAL TO THE CONVENTION.
CHICAGO May 27.-The Illinois Blaine
men have decided upon the advice of Mr.
Chandler and Mr.. Hale to contest the entire
State delegation. They expect thus, if they
do not gain any votes for Blaine, at least to
keep out the Springfield delegation from
participating in the preliminary proceed
ings of the Convention. They are prepar-
ing memorial to present to the National
Committee at their meeting on Monday,
giving their reason why the Illinois delega-
ton should not be admitted. The Grant
people say they are not afraid of their dele
cation being excluded.
Mr.. Hale interviews freely. He said two
great questions were TO be decided once
and for all by the Convention. First
whether State Convention has a right to
compel delegates to vote in any particular
way, and second-whether Congressional
y Districts or States should send delegates to
the National Convention. These two ques-
tions he believed would open up long and
heated debate, but he should vote to abol-
ish the Unit Rule and to admit all dele
gates from Congressional Districts and he
! believed this would be done by the Con.
h sention.
