CHICAGO, May 30,-The Edmunds movement as
distinct element of the situation attracts little or
no attention here Yet there is feature of it from
which the friends of the Great Director manage to

that while the crowds that fill the hotel Hobbies

men or Sherman men, and while the adherents Of

arrived and established themselves IN quiet cor
ner of one Of the upper stones of the Palmer House.
They declare that their mission here in behalf of
Senator Edmunds is not of o mere complimentary
nature, but that they are working quietly but
earnestly. and nos without strong hopes to secure
his nomination. They are forming no afflliation
with the supporters of other candidates, aud are
seeking to make no enemies. They declare that
they are heartily opposed to the unit rule and will
act together IN the effort to secure it's abolition by
direct and fair means. but they deprecate the
whom they are proud to call their leader, they
press the determination to seek what they want
only by methods whose legitimacy will be beyond
question. They look for much larger vote upon
the first ballot than any Of the estimates have
corded them.

OLD SOLDIERS AGAINST GRANT.

LETTERS RECEIVED FROM NEARLY 10000 SUR
VIvoRs OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS THEIR
FIRST CHOICE.
Felix La Baume, president Of the Western Ander-
sonville Survivors Association, was at the
Prescott House in this city last week. In CONVEX
satiOn with TRIBUNE reporter be said that there
was an almost unanimous sentiment among the
members against the nomination of General Grant.
He had derived his knowledge of the political Opin-
ions of his comrades through letters.
"Some time ago." he said, 4" circular was sent to
those who had been imprisoned In AndersonVille.
asking them to write accounts of the suerings they
endured there. 1t was particularly impressed upon
the members that tho association was in sense q
political one. In answer to this circular we re-
ceived letters from all over the country. In nearly
all cases the men when telling OF their suforings
referred to the fact that our old commanding gen.
eral wac once moro before the country for Tenomi-
nation for President Fully 10000 of these letters
deplored the fact that General Grant, q man whom
we all esteem highly, sought the sufrages of the
American people in violation of the precedent es-
tablished by Washington and other Presidents
The letters stated that the old soldiers opposed the
nomination, not because they loved Grant less but
because they loved the Republican party moro
We believe chat the decline of the Republican party
will begin from the day Grant is nominated. II he
is nominated we do not believe he be elected,
1t is a fact as was frequently expressed in
the letters, that If General Hancock any
other good General should receive the Democratic
nomination against Grant. he would receive the
support of the soldiers. Tie writers did not besi-
didates. Nearly all Of the 10000 said that Blaine
was their first choice The strength of the old sol

The funeral of the late A. M. Human took
place at his fathers residence this afternoon,
being conducted by Rev. William T. Rey-
nolds, of the Congregational church, of
which he was member and librarian of the
Sunday school, assisted by Rev William
Lusk, jr., of st. Johns church. There was
large attendance, including the Polyhymnian
society, who acted pallbearers, and who
placed two beautiful floral offerings-a pillow
and a broken column. in each of which were
the letters P. s., the one at the head
the other at the foot of the casket. Mr.
Reynolds IN MS remarks conIra6teu This Oc-
casion with the funeral of Mr.. Richard
Blakeslee a few days since, compar-
ing the death of one who had passed
four score and ten with the death of
one who had barely passed single score of
years. Mr.. Lusk, drawing his lesson from
the trees which, though now apparently
ifeless, with their pure covering of snow,
would soon bud and blossom into a beauty
like that of the flowers upon the casket,
taught that this body, now cold and lifeless
would in the pure atmosphere of heaven bud
and blossom as the roses. The choir of st.
Johns sang in closing ''Sleep thy last Sleep"
