The anti-Grant men retained their presi-

delegates to, Chicago. The delegation will
be composed Of Sherman and Blaine men.
- : SECOND DISPATCH. sis .
The Republican Convention was in
great disorder all day. Several exciting
scenes occurred, and the same confusion
as yesterday continued. The chair ap-
pointed committee to nominate dele
gates to Chicago in spite Of the protests Of
the Grant men. While the committee
was out the colored leaders raised the
issue that they had not been accorded
their rights in the party, and carried q
resolution that three-iourths; OF the Chi
caso delegation be colored, and that the
same proportion be observed in Republi
can patronage in Georgia. The commit.
tees report did not agree with this resolu.
ton, and 1t was therefore tabled until to-
morrow, when all but Eve white men will
be stricken from the delegation. Grant
may get some votes, but the Sherman and
Blaine men have control OF the Conven,
ton,
