THE CONVENTION.
CONTINUED from First Page.

! informed the ItBleS correspondent III
that city that he was not candidate,
but is for Grant, with no second
choice.
A special train bearing delegates
and others TO the national greenback
convention, which meets in Chicago
this week, left Portland, Me-, yester-
day. The car was decorated with
pine trees, flags, pictures and mot
toes. When the train pulled out OF
Portland there were artillery salutes
and boisterous cheers.
There is no apparent change in the
situation. Grant men have been
making great efforts to-day. to win
over the southern Sherman delegates,
thus far they have had no success
and seem discouraged. 1t looks, to-
night as if 265 would be Grants
highest vote on the first ballot, while
Blaine will lead this nearly or quite
fifteen votes, unless they reserve part
of their force and on the second ballot
it eeems quite certain that they will
make substantial gains. Everybody
is getting tired and anxious 10 go
home, and tomorrow is likely to
settle the nomination in some way.
There has been no combination, to-
day, IS far as can be learned, upon
any candidate. The strength OF the
different names will probably not be
effected il any appreciate degree by
the days intermission. Both of the
principal candidates, however, claim
to have made small gains. The con-
vention meets at 10 o'clock, and it is
expected balloting for president will
begin Immediately, the nominating
epsecbes having all been made.
Colonel Robert IDgersol estimates
the first ballot tomorrow as follows:
Blaine, 80; Grant, 2S5; Sherman,
100; Edmunds, IS; Washburne, 16;
Window, 10.
MONDAYS DoINGs.
Chicago, 7.-Monday had a bright
and cool morning. The hotels and city
are materially depleted since Satur-
day of their crowd. At 10 O'Clock the
delegates were coming in slowly and
the galleries rapidly filling up with
spectators. Speculation as to the
results of to-day are very diverse.
Grant men profess confidence, but
do not look it. They admit their vote
will fall below 500 On the first ballot,
but urge that it will increase on sub
sequent roll calls, and that they will
win as soon as the friends of Sherman
| and other nominees who are lower on
the lists shall see that the contest is
between Grant and Blaine. The
friends Of the latter do not talk, but
appear equally confident of the re-
cult. It looks, to-day, as il their vote
might lead Grants on the first ballot,
but no prediction Weuld be safe in the
present condition OF affairs. at 1870
the delegates generally were in their
seats, and the greater part of the gal
leries denseiy filled; at 10.40 the chair
called the convention TO order, prayer
being offered by Rev. Charles Hall
Everest, of Plymouth Congregational
Church, Chicago.

Co3kIing's call for an individual
roll call, apparently was for the pur-
pose of getting a record of Woodin's
vote which, however, was cast by his
alternate for Blaine. One vote was
short in West Virginia, understood
10 be because of the absence of
one delegate. Campbell OF West
Virginia attempted to make a
statement as to his vote, but
was ruled to lie cut of order, and he
then east the vote. Immediately
afterwards Butterworth, of Ohio, at
tempted to make q question of privi !
lege of it, and stated that Campbell's |
object was to present the vote OF an
alternate, but he, too, was ruled out !
OF order.
The whole number of votes cas-!
755, necessary to q choice 37S, 80
there was no choice. The announce
ment of the result was read with ap-
plsuse. The chair ordered another
ballot, and roll was called on the sec.
ond ballot.
On the fifth ballot the chair again
announced no choice and sixth call
