defiant and il would have been their duty to DO SO
this morning if he had renewed the tactics OF yes

the untcnablc position which lie assumed III the
committee lie agreed to yield the vital point over
which the contest arose, it was the duty ol the

Committee :Ooms after the dinner recess
On reaching these, the compromise caucus resumed
ITS SESSIONS there being present about twenty-five
anti-Grant members of the committee, and Senator
Cameron General Arthur and Senator Jones. repre-
scntiug the minority General Arthur proposed
that Senator Ioar should be agreed on rs temporary
chairman; that the Grant people should not only
net nominate any one against hun, but that u any
delegate shall make a nomination all the Grant
leaders shall vote for Mr.. II,,r and the two great
States of Ncw-York and Pennsylvania shall support
him. IL th,s way the submission of any question To
the Convention during the time that Senator
Cameron is in the chair, which lr could decide
in regard TO the unit rule will he prevented.
1t WAS also agreed that, in making np the roll OF
tho Convention for the temporary organization.
NIL delegates holding regular certificates, and
having therefore prma facic right 10 seats shall
be admitted to the Convention, and be allowed To
vote on all preliminary questions. lhe con-
tcaiants are 70 be admitted 10 the Con-
vcato.. but Of course are not to be
allowed 10 vote. BY this arrangement
the Logan delegates from this state will be ad-
m.ttcd and the anti-Grant delegates from Utah.
Kansas and all other States except Alabama. Alter
the plan of compromise had been fully considered,
it was mutually agreed to.
After the close Of the caucus the National Conn
mttce wa, called to order, and Senator Cameron
announced that an adjustment Of the questions at
iSsnr that was satisfactory to all parties had been
maGc that it was agreeable to- lm, and that II
would be faithfully carried out. The committee,
having no her business to transact, soon aitcr"aTd
adjourned.
srNAroR CoNKLrNG'5 INFLUENCE.
II is rcportcd among Senator ConknV's friends
that he was not informed last night of the course
Senator Cameron intended to pursue in th" commit
tee, and that when he heard Of 1t this morning hr
Immediately declared it to hc suicidal, and that
some arrangement Of the difficulty must be effected
He mt once sent for General Arthur and directed
him 10 20 to the meeting Of the committee tins
morning and secure compromise. Mr.. Thomas G..
Platt is the Ncw-York member Of TIE committee,
and his proxy was given to Grnrrl Artlur.
The wisdom Of u courageous course has been well
illustrated by the outcome OF the contest in the Nn-
tional Committee. For almost week the Grant
men have , .cn defiant and hayo talked a. though
they had everything their own WAY. Even la-t
night whcn tary were ia "A minority IN the National
Committee they ccncd 10 think that. # they we
only imludcnt enough they could carry Things ia
that commIttc, as they plcasrd bnt when they
heard that the autl-Grant members Of the comnlt-
tee. thrty-onc IN number. had agreed 10 t" Elkius
resolution dcpuslug Senator Cameron, they made
haste TO patch MP compromise aud save what they
could out of the wreck. The result f the Conyrn-
tinn which assemblies tomorrow WI. probably de-
pend very much the courage aud determination
of the Opponrbis Of thlrd term. General Grant
cannot be nominated If all those who are opposed
to him have the conragn and boldncss to stand by
their own candidates.
