I'd twenty votes ON the hrst ballot for
sherman, that being the Edmunds'
strength, Judge Hoar was seen as 70
the correctness Of the statement. He
said they would give their first vote 10
rdmunds, as instructed. aud after that
70 sherman.
The Blaine vote in the Ohio delega-
tion numbers niEe, and Mack. Of the
sandusky Register, says they will vote
on the first ballot for Blaine.
The mulIsh attitude Of the Grant
men is supposed to have for its motive
the desire 10 make terms which shall
include the defeat Of Blaine. whose
friends claim as evidences Of their own
moderation the fact thai thsy postponed
their proposed action against Cameron
until he should have had the right 10
review the situation and find some
more harmonious solution OF the difi-

While II is by no means certain yet
that Blaine will be nominated, the indi-
cations are that be Is gaining much
positiye strength hourly. His danger,
II any. lies in the obstinate adherence
ef the Sherman, Edmunds, and WASH
burne men TO their fayorites. This
might be fatal TO Blaine II the ultra
Grant men can succeed In 30 dividing
and distributing their forces among
.he other candidates ms 10 prevent n
majority for Blaine until the conven-
tion is exhausted by numerous ballots.
This game is fully anticipated by the
friends of Blaine, who are discreetly
but not deliantly hrm In tone and con-
ciliatory in manner, and profess to be
confident that the popular sentiment
for their favorite, as admitted by nu-
merous delegates who come here
pledged to other delegates, will enable
them to reverse the practice OF killing
the strongest candidate for the sake Of
some weak one.
II is known that at least two addi-
tional New York delegates will join the
nineteen protestants against Grant, and
another. making twenty-five In all, is
expected to join them Mt the crucial
moment.
The nationafcommittee reassembled
at 2:3o p. m, add adjourned after n two
hours session.
A member OF the committee says
that 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 organization; that the con-
tests in those states should be submit
ted TO the committee on credentials, and
that the unit rule should be enforced
or not at the pleasure OF the conven-
tion; that Conkling, Logan and Cam
eron pledge themselves to interfere in
no way in regard TO the action Of the
convention respecting the unit rule.
The committee decided TO distribute
the tickets at 9:30 tomorrow morning.
The New York delegation had long
and stormy session to-day over the unit
question. Conkllng insisted that the
state would vote rs n unit, and refused
to believe In the authenticity Of the
signatures to the manifesto mentioned
In last nights dispatches until person
ally assured by the various signers that
they had actually signed 1t. He made
an appeal to the so-called "kickers, -
with the exception Of four, whom he
warmly accused Of pertidy, and who
responded rs warmy in their own de-
fense. Finally, after four hours ses-
sion, vote was taken on the question
Of sustaining the unit rule, and the
result was 45 for to % against; not yot-
ing2. Trt4se
washington, June 1.--Congressmen
OF both parties are generally occupying
one-half Of their time in discussing the
situation 1t Chicago and the other hall
In trying to learn something Of what is
going on there.
The prevalent impression here Is
that the third term movement has
lost strength immensely during the last
Two days and that the defeat Of the ex.
president in the convention Is highly
probable, II not almost certain. Blaine'l
friends claim that he gains new
strength with every detection from the
Grant forces. but the feeling between
the champions Of the rival candidates Il
50 bitter that grave doubts are enter
tained by expert politicians Of the sue
cess Of either Of them. s,l.
conkling's hatred OF Sherman is well
known. and the senator from New Yorl
mas said within the past month that hs
would not in any contingency assist
sherman in New York.
Window is believed to DO tho second
shoice Of the Grant managers for presi.
aeht, although the name Of the senator
nom Minnesota was originally men
Toned to prevent the Blaine men from
capturing the delegation from thai

supported earnestly by Conkling and
logan u they are compelled to abandon
their favorites. e
