DesMoines. 25.-The democratic state
central committee, tonight, decided not
to hold a state convention until after the |
national conventioh; also to hold a state |
convention for the selection of delegates |
to the national convention at Burlington,
on Wednesday, April Z.
Chicago, 25.-The delegates from vari-
Gus congressional districts of Illinois who
met here to-day at the Grand Pacific
Hotel with the republican state central
committee TO confer regarding the can
VASE, and to report concerning the condi-
ton of their respective sections were, as
regards presidential preferences, nearly
eqaally divided on Grant and Blaine,
but there was a clear majority of anti
Grant delegates Sherman had some
friends, but Washburne had stronger
support. Blaine's friends went into the
conference with the determination to
make it absolutely devoid of a personal
canvass.
Inter Oceans Washington: Grant
men in Washington are cheered by the
news from New York tonight, although
.he Grant sentiment is not quite so
as they could wish. They
claim, however, that it means Grants
nomination at Chicago, and that nothing
can prevent it They affirm that Illinois
will follow the example of New York and
Pennsylvania, which will give him 160
votes, with come 80 states to hear from.
they argue that the Grant boom will be
about par henceforward, aud that all
kicking up on the trace by anti-third
rrm republicans will be useless.
Dc the other hand, at the Blaine head
quarters, there are signs of discourage
nent, and his friends ask suspension of
Judgment until New England and the
great northwest is heard from.
at the Shermaa headquart rs, his
friends are busy and cheerful, rs usual, |
nal ing little noise, but doing a good
Zeal of quiet work. Sherman men here
ire not making war on Grant as vigor-
,usly as Blaine men, who seem TO be il
. very comfortable mood Grant men !
profess to have definite information from !
illinois to the effect that this great state | !
will certainly wheel into line, aud send a
old Grant delegation. They argue that {
he moral effect will be immense, and
)ring numbers of smaller and weaker
tstes into line. This is their view of it.
Indianapolis, 25.-The Journal says:
While the sentiment Of republicans is
Tery decidedly for Blaine, there is a
trong feeling in favor of Washburne as
/ dark horse. The impression is general |
hat he will carry the German vote almost
olid, and make heavy inroads on the
Catholic vote The unit -ue will be
adopted by Indiana as matter Of state
policy.
Chicago, 25.-The Times, summariz
ng IFS Boston dispatch, says: An old
democrat at Boston suggests Hayes and
hamilton Fish as q possible Chicago
ticket. He predicts that if
sherman cannot win he will be in favor
If Hayes, and that if Blaine finds himself
IN the same position he was in at Cincin-
natl he will defeat Conkling's project by
the present executive.
Providence, r. l., 26.-The republican
