| as follows Full number of delegates, 756;
necessary for choice, $40. The number al
ready elected is 1872; for Grant, 900; for
| Blaine, 277; for Sherman, 106; for Ed
munds, So; for Washburne, Is; for Win
| dom 10. Blaine's estimate is still more
favorable to that gentleman. The Tribune
argues editorially that every other candi-
dates second choice is anybody but
Grant"
The Herald again asserts that Grant is
the next Republican candidate, and prob
ably the next President, and adds: Grant
has been as passive as Washington ever
was in relation to the highest station in the
Government. Moreover, they resemble
| each other in their distaste or incapacity
| for mob oratory, and in s~elf-respecting re-
| ticence. concerning their claims TO public
Office and honors. They further resemble
each other in their common repugnanoe to
the shows aud shams Of vulgar politics.
We would fsin hope that it may eventually
turn out that the parallel IS maintained On
the great point Of earnest fidelity to the
DRY and practice of Republican Institutions.

More Indian Troubles.
SANTA FE, N. M, May 22.-Fifty armed
men left Mashinas yesterday for the west
ern portion Of Valencia county, to protect
the herders. The Apaches have killed
three more Of Romero's herders. There
are no troops for hundreds Of miles east,
west or north. Pope has asked for the
Tenth Cavalry from Texas to reinforce
Hatch. The hostiles nave been wanting
all winter to surrender, but we're told by
the traders that then their ponies and guns
would be taken and every Indian hung. A
grand council Of the Sioux has just been
held. and . delegation Of ninety selected
to visit this point. They are now in camp
five miles north. Miles has received orders
from Sheridan that all hostiles must sur
render Internationally to the military au-
thorities. The Hazen party, commander
at Buford, sent out q detail to receive the
surrender of 700 Sioux. under Rain in the
Face, who killed Custer, who are opposite
Fort Keogh but he hesitates about giving
up the guns and ponies.
Indians I'm . DepIOrable Condition.
OTTAWA, Canada, May PA gentleman
just arrived in this city from Bow River.
Northwest Territory, by way Of Fort Nc
Leod and Fort Benton, says the Indians OF
Milk River district are reported to be in 9
most deplorable condition and starving.
owing to the scarcity of game. The Sioux,
under Sitting Bull, are holding the buffalo
ground and preventing the tribes friendly
to the whites, on both sidessof the line.
from securing game. Hence the want Of
food among the Crees, Bloods, Blackfeet
and Peigans. The Sioux have closely fol-
lowed the buffalo into American territory,
despite the efforts Of the mounted police
to keep them on this side Of the line, and
commit depredati0ns on American travel
ers over the plains. They desire other
tribes to join them, and thus form a power
full alliance, holding it to be much better to
die fighting than to starvs to death. The
| plan is said to be to plumber and rob the
whites whenever possible. 1t is thought
highly probable that the Crees and Bloods
will join the Sioux, in which case there
will undoubtedly be trouble; but hostil-
tiles are likely to be leveled only against
American settlements and soldiers.
Wants q Commercial Union.
MONTREAL. Ont, May 22.-Over two
thousand persons attended the meeting
last night to consider the chances Of .
commercial union with the United States.
Mr.. Perault referred to the strength Of
Canada, her ability to make treaties. ETC.,
but said that trade was stagnated. Thou
sands Of Canadians are emigrating ON ac-
count Of mistaken legislation and the
selfish action Of Great Britsin, by shutting
Canada out from commercial treaties with
other nations. Another meeting will be
held.
CHICAGO, May 22.-The Intsr-O Oceans
Washington special says: George G. Cor
ham, and q large force Of skillful Grant
men. leave here Immediately for Chicago
to work up his campaign. 1t is intimated
that Blaine will go thither himself. This,
however, Is altogether improbable.
Ten Districts Enter y Protest.
CHICAGO. May 22.--The Tribuns's Spring
field special says that ten Of the Congress-
ional districts have entered . protest. and
deny the right or authority Of the Logan
element in the Convention to throw out
anti-Grant delegates, and that these dis
tricts had previously chosen delegates. who
viii take their appeal to the National Con-
venticn.
The Labor strike 1t Omaha.
OMAHA. May 22.-This morning q party
Of 100 colored men from Kansas City,
Leavenworth and st. Joe, arrived at the
Omaha smelling works. on . special train.
and marched into the works to be en-
ployed in the place Of the white strikers,
who struck over two weeks ago, for an ad-
vance OF 40 per cent. Twenty-Five or thirty
Of the colored party were armed with guns
and revolvers. This flank movement ON
the part of the managers Of the smelling
works was 3 complete surprise to the strik-
ers. who attempted to stop the negroes from
going in. but the negroes. with their arms,
had the best Of il. and entered the works
without any collision, as the white men
were unarmed. Great excitement followed
all the morning. The strikers, at one time,
determined to seize the arms in the armo-
ries Of the militia companies G and H, and
attack the negroes and drive them out but
this plan was abandoned and strategy re-
sorted to. A committee Of the strikers
conferred with the negroes. and informed
them Of the situation, aud offered to pay
their expenses back to their homes, il they
would leave. A large majority voted to
accept the proposition. A finance COM
mittee Of twenty was accordingly appointed
to collect funds for this purpose. Mean
time the workingmen held Q meeting and
listened to speeches. and during the after
noon another meeting was held Of strikers
and workingmen generally. including rep
resentatives from the Union Pacific shops,
all this negroes being present in . body.
