The Grant Managers Confident.
CHICAGO, June lit is now stated that the
Grant managers are much more confident OF
securing a nomination on the first ballot. In
fact, they are pretty well convinced that they
can secure 1t. If they should not and should
fail to secure 0n increased vote on tho second
ballot. IL is rumorcd the Grant lea ders have
decided to throw the votes which they con-
troll, some 300 to 325 for E1munds The claim
is made that this would nominate Edmunds
rs against any other candidate or combination
A meeting of Grant managers tonight is
said to have had this ultimate OBJ
ject, although they still keep II strong front
and claim they have about 400 votes. There
was rumor on tho street to-day that Sherman
had withdrawn, but when traced up it was
found to have no more foundation than tele-
gram which he is said to have sent friend
saying that the unit rule ought to be beaten
and advising that il be done even if it should
sacrifice him. The anti. Grant men say the
rule is now beaten, even if the vote is taken
by states, for many Of tho states have decided
to-day to vote against that rule deepite the
fact that mciority of their number favor
General Grant. If tho unit rule is abolished
| the opponents of Grant claim the individual
vote would make ma ority against him of over
100. The Pennsylvania delegation took vote
for craftsmanship and elected Cessna by n vote
of 35 TO 81 over Beaven. TO offset the breaks
in the New York and Pennsylvania delega-
tions the Grant managers are canvassing
among the southern delegates and claim
gains.
Tho Grant leaders have made n claim that
If the Illinois contestants fail to gain seats
their chances for nominating General Grant
are assured, and the danger of defeat will be
passed. Friends of Sherman aud Blaine, on
the other hand, express equal confidence that
they have made gains other than those in New
York aud Pennsylvania.
Senator B. X. Bruce was serenaded at the
Palmer house tonight by his colored friends
among tho delegates representing all the
southern states. They were enthusiastic III
their expressions in favor of his nomination
rs vice president He made u brief speech
from the rotunda. George Williams, of Gin
cinnati, responded in his behalf in an eloquent
speech, full of compliments for the manner il
which Senator Bruce has represented the col
ored race in congress. There seems to be
determination on the part of tho colored dele
gates to present the name of Senator Bruce il
the convention for vice-presidcnt.
The national committee this afternoon dc
cided that neither of the Louisiana delega
tions should be admitted to tho temporary or
gauizatiOn of the convention,
