| CAMERON AND THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
|
CHICAGO, June Thirty anti-Grant
members of the National Committee this
morning agreed to depose Cameron from
the craftsmanship IL he continued to de-
cline their resolutions or to abide by the
decision Of the majority Of the committee.

the Palmer House.
SENATOR EDMUYDs AND THE VERMONT DELEGA-
| TON.
| CHICAGO. June The report that Senator
| Edmunds had written to members OF the
! Vermont delegation in this city withdraw
| ing az a presidential candidate and urging
the "Green Mountain" delegation to sup
port Grant is most emphatlcally denied.
| One OF the delegates has received letter
from the Senator, but it contains no recon-
mendations except that the delegation com
bine on the man most likely, II nominated,
TO carry the five or six debatable States.
| ACTION OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
| In the National Committee this afternoon
the Grant party offered some sort OF COM
promise for the pending difficulty, and COM
| mittees OF conference from the several par
ties were appointed to consider the qres-
| ton. After two hours session the con-
mittee adjourned.
| A member saws the conclusions reached
| were that Cameron should remain chairman
OF the committee; that the regular dele
cations from Louisiana, Kansas, Utah, and
| Illinois should be admitted to the TEMPORARY
organizations that the contests in those
States should lie submitted to the commit
| tee on credentials that the unit rule should
| be enforced or not. at the pleasure OF the
| Convention and that Conking, Logan, and
Cameron have pledged themselves in no way
| to interfere in regard to the action OF the
| Convention respecting the unit rule.

authorizing the chairman to get the vote OF
each delegate and report the same to the

the delegation. fifty Of them instructed him
to cast the entire vote for Grant he would
do it, and then il the ether twenty wanted
to appeal to the Convention they might do
so and the roll.cal OF States would be made.
The motion 10 sustain the unit rule was
finally passed by vote OF 40 to %.

BLOoDsHED OR BOLT.
Another Republican said that il in the face
OF right and Justice Cameron shall usurp
control of the Convention and hold it by
physical force that there will be nothing left
to the anti Grant men but bolt or blood
