CHICAGO CONVENTION NOTES.
IcpEppAr ppEas Dtap1TCu


CHICAGO, May PA delegation Of anti-thrd-
termers from the Hid District of New-York regis
tered at the Palmer House, which is the Grant
headquarters.
Governor Foster Of Ohio, to-day joined General
Warner NJ. Batoman and Ex-Governor Dennison at
the Sherman headquarters in the Grand Pacific
Hotel
In an interview for Tie Inter Ocean, General Bate
man said that the Ohio delegation would oppose
from the very outset any attempt at en-
forcement of the unit rule irrespective of
whose strength 1t would affect, as they con-
sidered the unit rule unreDublcan. Governor
Foster expressed himself to the same effect Both
repudiate tho idea that Sherman would take the
second place ticket with either Grant or Blaine
or any other man.
1t Is stated tonight that there will be grand

DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
GRANT "a VOTES SHORT OF A MAJORITY.
THE TRlBUNE's ESTIMATE REVISED AND COM


GRANT "a VOTES SHORT OF A MAJORITY
PLETED.
All the delegates to the Chicago Convention have
been elected except the two from Idabo AS they
are pretty sure to stand as they did in 1873 for
Blaine, they are so included in the following table.
In making this final estimate THE TRIBUNE has
been more generous to Grant than to any other can
didate. In oil cases Of doubt about the standing OF
delegates he has been given the benefit OF the
doubt. Thus the Alabama Arkansas and Texas
delegations. which not solid for him. are gwen
to him entire because his friends claim that he Will
get them under the unit rule With generous treat
ment of this kind in all cases. Grants total reaches
BIS, or 0A short of majority. 1t is easy for his
friends to claim more, but not eacy to show any
convincing reason for the claim. Blaine stands at
272, Sherman at 10, Edmuuds at SO, Washburne
at 13, and Window 10. For the purpose of COM
parison the last ballot at Cincinnati Ia 1875, when
Blaine came within % votes of majority and
lost, is appended. 1t must be remembered, too,
that Of the AL delegates who support the various
candidates opposed to Grant, all are antithird-term
men, and thoroughly united in resisting all move
ments looking to that end. 1t should
also be noted that in the of Illinois the whole
delegation is credited to Grant, although it is we'll
known various anti-third-term districts send con-
testing delegations and expect to have their claims
allowed.

CmICAGo, May 25.-Probably there is no time in
Presidential year when il is dicul' to get any
new light upon the political situation during the
week Immediately preceding a National COnven-
ton, The political gymuasts are waiting to see
which way to Jump, and gossip runs wild. Presi-
dental tickets are made and unmnde at the rate of
one TO every half-hour If the ticket suggested
above is deserving of moro prominence than Others
it is because it has seemed to survive several days
of gossip 1t is interesting merely as a subject Of
speculaton. People have said Il wonder now" and
I" shouldn't be surprised" more often about this
ticket than about any other within the past few
days and this Is excuse enough for gossippng about
something which may never come to pass.
This is a case, of course, where Barkis isn't
wilhn'.D No one supposes for a moment that Secre-
tary Sherman would willingly accept nomination
for tho Yice-Presidency. after being Secretary Of
the Treasury for three years and now candidate
for the Presidency. The suggestion of the ticket
nnouestionably finds favor with the Grant men,
who have the best of reasons for being willing, If
Secretarv Sherman has not There Is no possibility,
of course that the whole vote now given to tho
Secretary could be handed over TO Grant, Even If
the votes of the real Sherman mon in the Ohio
delegation would go to Grant, those of the Blaine
men in that delegation could not be given to him.
Sherman's few scattering votes in Indiana, New
York. and Wisconsin. are all antl-Third Term, and
could not be delivered to Grant. But this cannot
be said of Sherman's Southern votesi and II they
can be tempted away to Grant. his vote would be
increased almost to the figure necessary to secure
the nomination. Mr. Sherman has about 90
Southern delegates. not including any from
Louisiana. THE TRIBUNE estimated General
Grants vote. before the Louisiana Convention,
| ct 200. The 30 Sherman votes added to these
woold bring General Grant within SO votes Of Q
