NUMNER POLITICIANS.
There has been great irruption Of Sher-
man clubs from Ohio to-day, which has led
some short-sighted people to imagine he has
big boom. They are playing it low down
for the colored vote. They got up pro-
cessson tonight frem the Sherman head
quarters, at the Grand Pacific, and went to
the Palmer House to ssrenade Bruce, the
colored Senator. The procession was
formed with four darkies in
splendid barouche bearing magnificent
wreath Of flowers. Then came brass band
followed by about seventy-fve white men on
foot wearing Sherman badges, and seeming
to be perfectly happy to tramp along the
street in the rear of the colored brethern in
the carriage. There was not a single dsrkey
on foot in the procession. 1t waa as
HUMILIATING A SPECTACLE
as was ever witnessed, but it simply shows
what officeholders will do to keep in power
presume every white man who was SO de-
lighted to pay court to the Africans, was
treasury agent and eating dirt TO save his sal
ary.
THE COMMITTEE MOUSE.
The national committee has finally brought
forth a mouse. compromise has been
agree upon whereby the Grant men agree to
make no fight on G.. H. Hoar as tenn
porary chairman, and in return the anti
Grant men admit upon the preliminary or
ganization, the Logan delegation and the
Pinchback delegation from Louisiana with
out contest. The unit rule is relegated to
the convention, whore every one VINO knew
anything knew it would have to go.
The anti-Grant men assume to think that
this is a great victory for them.
GEN. AvERILL,
the Minnesota member of the convention,
thinks that this action Of the committee
booms Blaine stock up high, but [ fail to see
where any point of consequence is made.
The temporary chairman has nothing to do
but put motions and preserve order. Each
State delegation selects its member of the
committee on credentials and all other
committees. Nor can Mr.. Hoar 90
any damage to Grant. So I
fail to see how the anti GRANTEES count it a
victory, and merely record their opinion,
leaving the reader to cipher out where the
victory comes in, if he can.
NEW YORK BOLT.
Nineteen district delegates from New York
have united in a declaration that they will
not vote for Grant and that he can't carry
New York. 10 spite Of this, it is claimed to-
night that the Nsw York delegation will vote
as unit at the outset The anti Grant mon are
happy over this detection aud expect SIM
liar card, which is promised te-morrow, from
fourteen members from the Pennsylvania
delegation. 1t Is difficult to tell what effect
these declarations will have. At the Demo-
cratic convention in 1876, John Kelly and a
number of his followers were delegates
They had 500 outside strikers. Kelly made
q speech in open convention against Tilden
declaring he could not carry New York, etc.,
but Tilden walked right along and secured
not only majority but the wo-thirds.
This was because TiIden had the
managers. 4 Grant has the managers
in this convention. 1t must be admitted,
that his prospects looked brighter last night
than they DO now. However, whoever is
NOMINATED WILL BE DEFEATED
if the Democrats make the right nomination
at Cincinnati The following paragraphs
from the EOening News tonight, rabid
Grant paper, are fair sample of feeling all
around:
"The delegate who will violate his pledge,
whether he be for Grant, Blaine, Sherman
Edmunds or Washburne, is miserable cur,
would betray friend to rob widow. He
deserves to be kicked out of the city of
Chicago, it does not make any difference
which faction he belongs to. The man who
will violate his pledge may be looked on as
man who would perjure himself for
dollar"
"The rascally conduct of the Blaine bull
dozers in the National committee will proba-
bly, bear fruit-the defeat of the choice OF
the Chicago convention. What with cor
rupting the Grant delegates and intimida-
ting the officers of the National committee
they have passed beyond bounds of all pro.
priety, and rendered bolt of their nomina-
