Republican Opposition to Grant.
A Washington special of the 18th
says: The leading Anti-Grant Re-
publlcans haye been IN correspondence
one with another with view to make
an audacious effort to defeat Grants
nomination at Chicago. The plan sug-
gested is 10 call Convention at BOs-
ton in advance of the meeting Of either
the Republican or Democratic Con-
vention, and nominate ticket which
they will support in case Grant is
nominated. The talk is that they will
indicate disposition to support Bay
ard for President and Morrison, of
Illinois, for cs-President. The hope
is that such q move will throw dam
per on Grants chances. If he is not
nominated the nominee of the Chicago
Convention is to receive their support
Such movement the goody-goody
schemers vino are in it think will in
timidate both Conventions.

Of Representatives adopted resolu-
ton calling on Congress to enact law
to allow the importation of white pa
per from foreign countries into the
United States free of duty. Even the
most rabid protectionists see where
the shoe pinches in reference to high

other class of manufacturers?
