iHe OTafstme at SHseagO rely uPoh
Don Cameron TO use his position 10 de-
feat iaRy effort. to break~the unit rule,
which will probably come up at the
start. For this reason the talk of de-
posing him from the Craftsmanship of
the National Committee is growing
louder among the anti-Grant men. The
anti1Grsnt men of the National Com
mittee are said to number 81 to l6, and
shey claim that they would be justified
in deposing Cameron on account of the
many acts Of unfairness which he has
been guilty of to aid his candidate.
The charge is openly made that he has
kept bad faith with the men who put
him where he is; that they have so
manipulated matters regarding the
press that they have given the Grant
papers advantages, to the exclusion of
papers advocating other candidates, and
that he woeh establish.yery dangerous
precedents if allowed to preside over
the convention, even in IT'S preliminary
organization. The anti Grant feeling in
Chicago is very strong, and seems to in
feet the delegates who arrive. On the
other hand, Grants managers are con-
ceded to be the ahest men in the coun-
try for that work. They have been
early on the ground, are in large num-
bers, and their candidate has unques-
tionably the strongest following to-day
of any. If they are not beaten on the
unit rule they are pretty likely to NOM
inate Grant on the first ballot.
1t was estimated that at least three
fourths OF the delegates were in Chicago
last evening, and the number, was in
creased during the night. The Grant
men are we'll organized, and. their
meeting last night was attended by
three thousand veterans. They claim
to have more than enough votes to
nominate hin on the first ballot, and
Conkling, Cameron and Logan are as
confident of success as they were a
month ago. One of the delegates from
Dakota, who was counted for Blaine,
aas declared for Grant, and there are
many hints that the ballot VIII show
votes for Grant in States claimed by
other candidates. The Grant leaders,
like theie chief. are silent and conf
dent.
! Following are the estimates Of the
more ardent friends of the several Pres
idential candidates of the votes in the
National Convention. The Blaine esti-
mate: For Blaine 324 voses, for Grant
276~ for Sherman lol, fos Edmaads 81,
for Washburne IL. The Grant esti-
mate: For Grant All, foT Blaine leg,
for Sherman l03, for Edlaunds %, for
W.shburne l3. The Sherman estimate
gives him 227 votes. 1t still seems to,
be probable that Grant will be nomi-.
mated unless the unit rule. be smashed
1t is authoritatively stated that the.
National Committee of One Hundred,
provided for by the Anti Third Term
Convention, held in st. Loufs May 6th,.
has been appointed, and that the names
OF the gentlemen composing it will be
announced at Chicago, in the event Of
the nomination of General Grant.
