iBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
wAsu1NGTON MAY 1S.-The telegraph wires DC
t,veen Washington and Chicago have been con-
stantlv employed to-day in transmitting messages
between the Grant managers here ana their Hienu'
in Illinois Senator Logan and his followers nave
becn uositivclv informed that all differences OF
opinion in the Pennsylvania delegation have bech
adjusted and that the Keystone State Will cast us
vote solidly for Grant. 49,
The re7orted detection in Pennsylvania has been
n thorn in the side of the third-tcrm mcn-ot tho
West. 1t made n general breaking up OF the Grant
force seem rossiblc. and greatly encouraged the
Washburnc and Blaine men in their fight forth
control of the Springfield Convention So demoral-
;znr has il been that the leaders of the thrd-term
movements here almost despaircd of saving the
vote of Illinois, or a majority of it, for the cX-lrcsl-
dent unless an impression could be made upon INC
SnrinGfield Convention that the split had been
beo1cd nm and that the delegates from the two
GREAT States of Ncw-York and Pennsylvania would
obey the instructions of the Conventions.
The tone of the third-tCm men in Washington
never respondent, has become more positive IMAM
ever within the last few days while the supporters
of oil the other candidates look upon General
possiblc and believe that he will lose rather than
cain strength on succeeding ones. The friends Oh
thc cx-PrcSdcnt assume to be more confident than
ever They are unable to see any evidence OF Cen
cral Grants unpopuarity in the Republican party
They have the utmost confidence in the binding
power of the instructions given to delegates III a
few of the States, in the enforcement OF the unit
rulc. and in the magic Of General Grant nanc'
which, they say will he received with such spohti-
ncous outbursts Of enthusiasm rs Will carry the
Convention by storm. , :, ;.
This kind of talk is indulgcd IN on nj! occaSl"iS'
and il certainly has its effect upon llnd men VINO
want to he on the winning sluc ana WHO uIc "'l'H-
ing all the straws.
A gentleman, who recently spent several hours
with Senator Don Cameron III a railway ear, sald
To-day that the Pennsylvania senator either nae.

Grant at Chicago, or else hc was great huinbug
1" In the meantime neither the blaine Lor lh' Hi,'I

The Sherman movement sccms TO have gaihcu
some strength lately. from the lha that when IL

ably arisen from he fact that there has been no opf'
bitter contest between the Grant men aud the sup
