WHAT THE GRANT MEN SAY. :.
It is now stated that the Grant man
ayers are much more confident Of secur-
ing nomination on the frSt ballot.
II they should not, and should fail to
secure an increased vete on the second
ballot, it is rumored the Grant leaders
have decided to throw the votes which
they contrsl---some 300 to 325-for Ed
munds. /
The claim is made that this would
nominate Kdmunds as against any other
candidate or combination. A meeting
Of Grant managers tonight is said to
have had this ultimate object, although
they still keep a strong front,and claim
they have about 400 votes.
To Offset the breaks in the New York
and Pennsylvania delegations the Grant
managers are csnvassing among the
Southern delegates, and claim gains.
The National committee this after
noon decided that neither Of the Louisi-
ana delegations should be admitted to
the temporary organization Of the con
vention.
The Grant caucus lasted until about
midnight. There were nearly three
hundred delegates in the room. Mr..
Conkling made a powerful speech In
support of Grant.
The Blaine delegates also held q
caucus. They claim three hundred on
the first ballot, with the probability Of
subsequently gains.
Ex-Secrstary Boutwell, admitted to-
night that his count fer General Grant
was 40 to so short Of majority.
A COMPROMISE.
In the National Committee the Grant
party offered some sort Of compromise
Of the pending difficulty, and commit
tees Of conference from the rival parties
were appointed to consider the ques'
tion. After a two hours session this
afternoon the Committee adjourned. A
member says the conclusions arrived
at were that Cameron should re
main Chairman Of the Committee; tha
the regular delegations from Louis
lana, Kansas, Utah and Illinois
should be admitted to the temporary
organization; that the contestants il
