There is good news from Chicago. The
conflict between the Senatorial triumvirate,
Conkling, Cameron and Logan, has ended
in the virtual surrender of these gentlemen
to the reasonable propositions Of the majori-
ty of the National committee. Senator
Hoar will be temporary chairman and the
leaders have promised not to attempt to
enforce the unit rule pending the organiza-
ton Of the convention. This is a decided
victory over the "bosses" who went to
Chicago with the purpose Of riding rough
shod over majorities. The triumvirate
was made to feel that Cameron would be
deposed'from the craftsmanship of the Ma
tional committee if he attempted to ignore
the will of the majority. Doubtless MIR.
Cameron was surprised at such an exhibit
tion of independence, and after consulting
with his confederates, concluded that dis
erection is the better part of valor.-Bos-
