The Republican Quarrel in Illinois.

We take the liberty Of quoting from
private letter the following comments on the
unfortunate controversy and split among the
Republicans Of Chicago. and its effect on tEc
general situation, us the case looks 10 an Iii
noiS Republican, who is well situated to oh
tain an accurate inside view of it. The
writer is an cmncnily flir-mindcd and in
triliSrni gentlemen, not an anti-thrd term
man an a very square and true Rcpubli-
can His letter confirms the opinion already
expressed by Us, tia, most of the opposition
TO Grant iii that quarter is primarily opposi-
tion to Logan. The writer's opinion that
Grants chances q! election, if nominated, are
not great, and that the nomination Of Blaine
is impossible seem TO us of much import
ancc. That among the "tark horses" Mr..
Was!iburrc's chances are lcSscning, and that
Edmunds stock is advancing, seem also too
plain for dispute. Mr. Edmunds is the one on
whom all wings and sections of the party can
best unite, being obnoxious to none Of them,
while he is beyond question the largest and
clcancst man in the list of possible nominees
All this is 50 plain, that, in the event of the
three cornarrd deadlock which is now the
probable result of the struggle among the
friends Of the leading candidates, it must
turn the thoughts ani choice of hundreds of
delegates to Mr.. Edmunds. Vermont will
present the only name, the selection of which

have never known So much feeling and
and bitterness rs now manifested between
the friends and oppusers of Grant, in any
political contest
think the average fair-miude. man will
say ihit Grants friends had great reason.
ii not entirely satisfactory reason, TO leave
the Cook County Convention.
The bitterness here is largely one brought
forward from the last senatorial contest be-
tween Logan AMI Farwcll. Logan, as you
know, supports Grant, and this fact alone is
the nlain reason why great numbers of Re
puhllCanS oppose Grant. The two drc.r;l-
tions from Cook County may possibly be
admitted lo the State Convention Should
the Convention at Springfield (Which. cx-
cllAng Cook County, will be- largely for
Grant admit the Grant delegates and exclude
the "lhcrs, possibly the Blaine and Wash
hurnr delegates from all parts of the STATE
may follow the example of Grants friends
:o-'Eiy, AMI wilh'!raw from the convention
AMI proceed to hold one of their own, in which
ease they would sendtn Chicago Il delegation
composed of Washhurnc and Blaine men, ac-
corllng Ia their relative numbers, in their
convention, and thus transfer the contest
over the regularity Of to-days proceedings III
one or both conventions to the National Con-
vrnion.
Meanwhile, the quarrel here will WAY hotter
and will spread L. the adjacent States if
not lo the whole country, and unless the
s.,Ine can be in some way adjusted. 1t seems
To me, rs matters now look, that the Rcpub-
lcans will stand small chance to elect
Grant if they nominate Inn. Bainc's nom
inatiol seems now to he out of the question
All this leads To the moral of my reflections,
and that is that some other man must he
nominated than Grant.
This local contest has involved Mr. Wash
blrnc 10 such an extent that it may materi-
ally lessen his strength, and very likely pre-
vent the possibility OF his nomination. In
fact, many, if moi :; ma luriiy Of the S,-c;,lrd
Washburnc men here, are really not Wash
burnc men at all.
All this, ut present, seems TO more than
ever bring Senator E;lnm ls's nlm,. TO the
front. Possibly | am So partial To Mr. Ed
munds that ! seem to see more promise in
this than there is. rs | have been an Ed
mun,ls man from the first; that is in the con-
tingcncy OF any show for him.
II has been Il common remark among the
friends of all the candidates that Elmunds
stock has materially advanced today
should really Ike once in these modern
days To see Il great lawyer Il .,rr;t, states
:,rr1t potitician I'm the best scnsc)
and an honest man, all combined in the
Presidential chair
Ii all the prominent candidates have some
of these qualities. no other one nialtd has
them in Il higher degree than Mr.. Ednu

A few weeks ago Shakespeare comedy
''As You Like IT. was performed for the
first time in the theatre at Wilma, Russia.
The play gave great satisfaction and the
delighted audience began uttering
loud cries for the author. The manager,
in great embarrassment he knew no
more Of Shakespeare than the audience
at last came to the front, prepared to trust
to luck for his excuse. Finally, after
much Preliminary vebiage, he resretfully
announced that Mr. Shakespeare, the au-
thor, had been dead for nearly 81 years.
Expressions Of regret arose from the
crowd, who, however, were quite salts
fed with the explanation. and
the manager retired, to congratulate him
self upon his successful historical ro-
