March 26.--In The
republican convention at Austin,
yesterday, a resolution instructing
the delegates to Chicago to vote for
Grant, was bitterly opposed. 1t
was finally agreed to instruct the
delegates to vote as a unit. This
was at once accepted by the Grant
men as equivalent to instructions
and adopted. Governor Davis was
elected as one of the delegates at
large.

Bradley Lees he thought to be In good

Correspondence OF The True Northerner.
II il were possible for the Democratic ma
jorty to be meaner this session than they were
during the extra session, they would be. But
fortunately for the country the Republicans
are vglant and do no. fail to expose at once
all the Democratic blunders. Their course was
one Of bold defiance to decepcy last session,
but this time they started in, il seems, with a
coward'y purpose OF dong just as contempt
BILE things in sneaking way. Thus, nearly
-four months ago they professed great anxiety
to provide for the deficiencies in the depart
ments, and at once drafted what they called an
"Immsdiate deficiency BILL But was not very
immediate. 1t has not yet become law. In
this bill they included the pay for the Marshals
service last year, which the Democrats promised
TO DO decent enough TO pay after keeping tho
officials out OF it several months. But many
excuses followed each other in quick succession,
for delay in this matter until the public have
taken notice Of it in way the Democrats de-
spise, and the we're criticisms OF such under
handed methods OF repeating the starving out
policy have brought the Bourbons to their
senses. 1t is probable that the immediate de-
ficiency~bll may become law in few days
and justice in part be done to the officials who
have 30 long suffered for the money which is
honestly due them.
The warfare in the Democratic ranks over
the Springer -Donnelly matter, and the i'm
possibility OF uniting in the Senate OF unseas-
ing Senator Kellogg continues. We are look.
ing on with complscincy in the belief that the
Democratic factions are eating each other up
AZ rapidly as possible. All the Republicans
have got to do this year apparently is to stand
by whe the Democrats go on beating them
selves. Good nominations and fair amount
OF work Will insure Us the next President and
both Houses OF Congress.

There has all along been strong belief,
amounting almost to hope that Grant would
disappear from the presidential race providing
there was not a spontaneous and overwhelming
sentiment manifest IL his favor That there is
nothing of the kind Is becoming more and more
apparent every day. To succeed be must make
a fight which we think 10 not his intention, and
taere il possibility tending almost to prob
ability thai he will yet step aside. Above all
things, the Republican party wants to choose
as candidate the man who can draw TO his
support all who have ever trained under the
Republican standard, or as nearly all OF them
as It IS possible to secure. 1t is our belief that
that man Is James G. Blame. No man is more
popular with the people, for he is pre-eminent-
ly aman OF the people. With the "plumed
knight as leader we believe our party will go
on to victory With rush as irresistible as fate.
HIS nomination will hush the "third term y
clamOr. II Will still the disconnected mutter-
ings OF The dsaffected Germans. 1t will be ac-
cepted 10y those who fear the politicians as
nomination by the people. 1t will harmonze
and encourage al classes. II Will free the party
from all clogs OF whatever kind that might be
thrown in the way Of others. While we shall
be prepared. as we always have been, to accept
the choice OF our party and bring every gun we
have to bear on the common enemy it is our
privileges and our pride to name Blaine as our

Tho newspapers that support Gen. Grant for
the Presidency indulge in bull-dozing style
that ID not very acceptable to the Republicans
who prefer another man. 1t won't pay in
Illinois, as will be discovered, by and-by.
Blame men in this State will support General
Grant caeerfully il he is nominated without
any trickery or bull-dozng, but they will never
consent for the Grant men to substitute any
"dark horse" as at Cincinnati. The man who
was cheated out of the nomination at Cincin-
natl must have bic claims respected at Chicago,
and Illinois men will see that it is done.-Ca!ro,
