The Rock Island county delegation to

es was at first supposed. but on ;.the con-
trary is solidly anti-Grant-not a third
termer in the list. This is a crushing
defeat to G. III. Deere, w. q. Morris and
other third termers who have been fgur-
ing for weeks to get mixed delegation.
Ii is q well known fact that Hawley and
some OF his friends, wanted the delegation
to be equally divided between Grant and
Blaine, thus enabling Mr.. HawIey to be
on apparent friendly terms with either OF
the contestants for the presidency, but
which was more particularly desired by
| Logan as a means of neutralIzing Blame
and strengthening Cullom, Major Boards
ley aud others, however, were keen
enough TO observe that an united front was
much better than divided sentiment ana
the Blaine men finally triumphed. Ii has
been urged BIZ the Grant men that the
way to help Hawley was to help Grant at
the same time, and with many this was tor
time potent argument, but only tempo
rarily. however. for even Mr.. Hawley, il

aloof.
The close observer of the political hort
zon of Illinois knows that the present con-
test involves the continuation or demise Of
Logauism, and it is a further fact that
Logan, Grant and GALLON are linked as
| strongly as three we'll could be. IF Haw-
lev can be used to help Grant, he will be
encouraged to the extent of his ability to
aid and assist. but 10 the end, when the
