The Chicago Tribune of Saturday
publishes the following table, showing
the standing of the delegates already Sc
lected to the Chicago convention, and
what the result ofthe first ballot is likely
to be in case the name of General Grant
is employed in connection with the
presidential candidacy, of which there
seems but little doubt III the light OF
present information. The figures have
been carefully complied, and are, in ouI
judgment, as worthy of acceptance as
those published by the journals which
are committed to the third term interest
however widely the respective fOoting'
of partisan editors may differ:

Late advices from Washington repre-
sent that great satisfaction is felt and ex-
pressed at Blaine headquarters over the
outlook in Pennsylvania and New York,
which is, TO say the least, very disheart-
ening to the advocates of the third term
movement. In the latter state, Judge
Robertson and Senators Warden aud Ses-
sions have openly repudiated the
Grant instructions of the Conkling con.
vention, and declare their determination
to bolt the unit rule at Chicago and vote
for Blaine. The revolt in Penn
sylvania is daily growing in pro-
portions and Don Cameron is already
beginning to see how vain thing 1t Ii

mcnt of Il state in the pursuance of parti
san ends, while Roscoe COnkling il

WESTERN MANUFACTURES.

There are said to be 994,5l2 persons
engaged in manufacturing in the states
of Michigan, Illinois, Indiana. Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas
aud Nebraska. Thirty years ago only
58,964 persons were similarly employed
in those states. The west now possesses
five out of eleven Bessemer steel works,
and the manufacture of railroad iron in
Illinois is second only to that of Penn
sylvania. This extensive iron industry
is based on the relations between the
Lake Superior iron regions and the vast
bituminOus coal fields of Illinois and In
diana Western industries are becOm
ing more diversified every year. Cotton,
glass. tacks, wooden goods, machinery
of all kinds, steam engines, cutlery,
boots and shoes, furniture, agricultural
implements, and all those manufactures
into which wood and iron enter, are
made in the vicinity of the great grain
producing regions of America.

On Wednesday next the Illinois
Republicans will meet at Spring
field 10 select delegates to
the Chicago convention. A hot
contest is imminent, and in view of the
wide discrepancies which have appeared
in the calculations concerning the result,
as well as ITS importance in deciding the
strength of Grant at the national conven-
ton, the outcome is awaited with vital
interest, in political circles throughout
the entire country. The fact that the re-
putations of the Chicago Inter-Ocean and
Tribune as prophets and veracious
journals are also staked on the result
will vastly enhance its importance in
the public mind.

The prospect now is that more than
two-thirds of the delegates from these
states will vote against a third term,
which, coupled with the fact that ILL
nois is BY no means assured to Grant,
and that the third term acheme is ser
iously menaced by the growing disaffec-
ton oil the Blaine Republicans in Penn
sylvania and New York, renders the out
look for the Grant boom anything but en-
couraging and has impaired an impetus
to the Blaine movement which gives fair
promise of carrying it triumphantly
through the Chicago convention, to say
nothing of its certain victory at the polls
in November.
