Tho News from CUtoo9o ~ tUo CoDus0ss
fFrom Our Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The feeling
TODAY at the Capitol was that Grant
stock was going down, and no one
was willing to bet even on bis nomin alton.
The principal talk was In regard to the
second choice OF the Grant men, and the
opinion prevailed that Messrs. Conkling
and Cameron would prefer Edmunds. The
visit Of Senators Edmunds, Co1kling, and
Cameron to Simon Cameron was cited In
support OF this conjecture. The fsct that
the newspapers at the time gave polite al
significance TO this meeting was recalled, as
was also the report then current that Sena.
tor Edmunds was selected by these Grant
managers IS the reserve candidate In the
event Grant should decline or be defeated
at Chicago. This theory assumed more i'm
portance when dispatch was received from
New York which stated that bets OF one to
five had been made there In favor OF Ed
munds as against the field.
A DEFEAT FOR MR. CONKLING.
Those who have believed in the invinci-
bility OF Mr.. Conkling were very much set
back this afternoon when they ascertained
that the Convention had refused to adjourn
on his motion, and afterwards adjourned
on the motion OF Eugene Hale, In spite OF
the New York Senator's opposition. The
Blaine men became iubilant over this news
and declared that the Grant men might do
their worst but could not defeat "Maine's
fayorite son." / asked where Blaine would
get strength after the first ballot, and one OF
them replied promptly. "From the South
Your southern Republicans always desert a
defeated candidate and flock to the winning
one.
EDKUSDs SHERMAN TONIGHT.
While the Sherman men say tonight that
he has better show than Blaine, the ave-
rage hote.lounger and citizens attracted to
the hotels to hear the news from Chicago,
all say that Edmunds is the coming man,
and that Grant has hopelessly gone up. Dis
patches tonight say that Hale was wildly
cheered this afternoon, and that the demon
STATIONS In the Convention were over
whelmingly for Blaine. Nothing excited
more applause than the ridicule OF Mr..
Conkling by Hale and Frye.
BELKyAP TO THE FRONT ONCE MORE.
Mr.. Adams, OF the Washington Star, tele-
graphed tonight as follows: "On their first
motion the Grant men were defea ted By over
100 majority. The unit rule burst. The Con-
yention cheered five minutes over the re-
suit"
General Belknap exhibited at WIZARDS
tonight telegram received by him from
Chicago which stated that the Grant men
were solid, and success certain. This, he
said, expressed the views OF Conkling, Cor
ham, and Cameron.
There was great crowd Of people about
the hotels tonight in search Of news.
Grant men admit that Blaine has some
show.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1880-06-04


Mr.. ConklIng rose to reply, and was again
greeted with applause. Mean time the aisles
had been filled again by spectators, and the
Chair suspended business until they were
again cleared, when Mr.. Conkling pro-
ceeded. The only work that the Convention
would do before O'Clock would be TO sit
on uncushioned seats and do nothing; his
motion, therefore. was one OF convenience.
" was an open secret that the Committee on
permanent ORGANIZATION would report the
continuance OF the present presiding officer
10 the chair. 1t would not take five minutes
70 settle the permanent Organization. There
were important questions 10 be settled here.
1t Is said that the Committee on Rules baye
agreed to recommend the adoption Of the
five-ninute rule 10 govern general debate. |

On the surIace this has been quiet day.
Underneath. howcvor. the desperate character
of the contest Ia every hour increasing, aud
It's plain to those who are watching the
course of things that not only are the worst
methods to be resorled to on both Sides but
there is danger that election day will bring
open conflict and bloodshed. Tho character
of the gangs that have been coming in
here from some Of the eastern cities
within few days promises as much rs
this, and 1t would DO good thing for
those places If lot of these FOUNDERS could
be got into the penitentary for long terms.
The party managers are scarcely less deS.
perato in their way. There was nothing like
such intensity OF feeling four years ago. Yes
terday the democrats gave out as much of their
corruption fund as they had at hand, and Il
was taken TO the near and remote parts of the
state. Tho plan is to Put 1t principally in the
demooratio stronghot4s whereby najOrities
may be built up TO match the figures of demo-
cratic calculation. Tho amount sent out did
not come up TO what Chairman Barnum thinks
it should have been, but English, who had
promised what was necessary" thinks tho
sum quito largo enough. Having had his
check'book out for a few days English has
suddenly locked 1t up again. with the
remark that "Thero will be more
if necoss ry." Everybody but English
thinks more Is essential, and last night there
was considerable telographlug to eastern
points for help, and this morning an excited
| interview took place between Banum aud
English on the subject. Tho democratic can
