| Sherman men. The darkies come here all
instructed for Grant, but the anti, Grant
men have been at them incessantly, telling
most dreadful stories of the consequences of
the nomination Of Grant, that the north
would be divided and the country go Demo
cratic, and the ex-slaves have their old mas
ters in absolute possession, and so on, until
the colored delegates are so badly scared that
they do not know whether they are standing
on their heels or their heads. The conse-
quence is that if the Southern delegates take
any active part at all in the nomination.,
big break is expected, and the Sherman men
are counting on large accession from them.
There is apparently growing feeling on the
part of the Southern delegates that they
ought not to give their balance of power to
nominate a man who cannot command
the undivided support of the North, but
they ought rather to wait and let the north
settle whom it wants and then ratify that
choice. The Sherman men are doing all
they can to strengthen this feeling, for of
course it weakens Grants chances and there
by helps Sherman.
THE OHIO DELEGATION
is beset with suspicion through the pro-
vaIence OF a rumor that they are trying to
negotiate trade for the Vice Presidency.
The facts upon investigation seem to be
that three or four Ohio gentlemen, some of
them delegates, some not, have come to
Chicago determined to secure representation
for their State on the national ticket, if not
in one way then in another. That these
gentlemen are Sherman men by profession
merely. That in truth they are willing to
trade where the best bargain can be made;
made overtures in several directions, and
particularly to the friends of Gen.
Grant looking to combination
by which, in case of Grants
nomination they secure the second place for
Garfield, Bateman Dennison, or, as a last
resort, Thurman himself. Their power to
deliver Thurman's vote in the South, or any
appreciable member of the Ohio delegation
having been called in question as prelimin-
ary to the making of terms, they have failed
to prove it, and the matter stands as it was.
Rumors of an agreement by which Thur.
man or Gov. Foster is to take second place
on the ticket, were also current, but they are
equally unfounded if we can rely upon state
ments made Ohio men and their friends.
Mr.. Nichols says that Thurman is not can
didate for Vice President and will not be,
that none of his friends will consent to
agree to vote for anybody else to secure one
for him for Vice President, and his friends
are utterly opposed to his name being used in
connection with Vico President.
VERMONT, MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN,.
A deep interest is felt in the delegations
from Vermont, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Their probable course in the temporary or
ganization is much discussed. Nobody
seems to know anything about their views OF
plans. Will they throw the weight of their
influence in the opening, in favor or against
the third termY This was the question of
ten propounded yesterday. Less is known
of the attitude on preliminary questions of
these delegations than any other. What was
Senator Edmunds last words to the departing
delegations from Vermont? The managers
would give much to know. He has said
many good words for Gen. Grant to the
public. What did he say to the delegates
who will vote for him on the first ballot?
wAsHBURNE.
Friends of Washburne by no means
abandon their expectation in the apparent
great need of the Republican party for a
man who can be elected without recourse to
desperate extremity or improbable resourc-
es, and think the Blaine and Sherman men
may come to him, and a number of Grant
men, too. But Mr.. Washburne's silence Is
liable to some misconstruction in both
directions. Having declared himself on pa
per for Grant, he is not in position to give
advice to the contrary; and yet, having been
candidate in Illinois, certain element in
the Grant muster will have it that he has
been playing double game. Anyhow the
masses of the party still regard him as the
most available of all the candidates.
DRAMATIC coNKLING AND LOGAN.
A sensation was created on last evening
by the sudden and rather dramatic appear
ance of Senators Conkling and Logan in the
hotel together. Conkling and his party
after their arrival proceeded to quarters al
ready prepared fer them at the Grand Pa
ciic. Thence Mr.. Conkling, after a short
time emerged, and crossing to the Palmer
called on Logan. Presently the twain ap-
peared, arm in arm, walking slowly through
the halls. They attracted universal atten-
ton.
"HIGH MORAL" SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
| Western Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 3O.-The day passed busily
at the hotels, and at the headquarters of all
candidates preparations of considerable mag
nitude are making for the two open air
meetings on lake front tomorrow night.
The Grant meeting has secured some of the
best speakers in the city. The anti-Grant
meeting will probably be addressed rather
by business men than by famous orators.
J. Milton Turner, of st. Louis, chairman of
the national committee for the negro men,
is here, and opened headquarters to-day for
advancement of the chances of Senator
Bruce for Vice President.
The action of the national convention OF
its meeting tomorrow evening is anxiously
looked forward to, because it is expected to
take some action relative to the plan to be
pursued in conducting the convention. 1t is
alleged that the anti Grant members of the
committee, who have considerable majority
are determined to first exact pledge from
Senator Cameron to carry out their instruc-
tions and then substantially abolish the unit
rule in preliminary organization. 1t IS said
by some delegates that in case Cameron
should refuse consent to this arrangement
} he would be deposed. Several PROPOSE
! tions looking to the settlement of the
vexed question are supposed tc
have been made to-day, but nothing is
known to have been accomplished. 1t il
predicted tonight that the real contest viii
] be in the committee meeting, and that tht
convention itself is likely to be harmonious
Senators Hamlin and Blair arrived to-day.
