THE BOLT IN PENNSYLVANIA.

A REPORT THAT SENATOR CAMERON, IN ORDER TO
RETAIN HIS LEADERSHIP, HAS CONSENTED TO
CAsTTHE VOTE OF THE DELEGATION FOR BLAINE.
IFRoM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT or THE TRIBuNE'l
PHILADELPHIA, May 0.-The disntegration OF the
PENNSYLVANIA delegation to Chicago started slowly
hut it has now become complete. week after the
Harrisburg Convention Senator Cameron could
have cast the vote of tho entire dele
CATION for Grant but any such effort now would be
impossible. gentleman in position to have full
information on tho subject is reported as saying
that Senator Cameron has promised to cast the vote
of Pennsylvania for Senator Blaine, and that he
made this promise in order to hold his
position as the leader of the delegation for he was
told that if the unit rule held good, it would carry
the entire vote of the State for Blaine. Under this
agreement the gentleman says, the delegation is to
be held ostensbly for Grant until 1t reaches Chi
cago, when its vote will be thrown for Blaine by
Mr.. Cameron himself Mr; NcManes, it is said, will,
under this agreement, withdraw all open hostility
James McAianes. the head and front of the oppo-
tition to Grant among the delegates, says:
I have never been in favor OF the nomination OF
General Grant since the completion o. his
second term orr DO Inc nUw EgDers S9nk sentiment IL
of the country or the OF the Republican party
and was therefore, not IN the situation, nor was
called upon, 10 take any Official action IN the
aud those who know me know that viii perform 1t un-
hesitatugy with single purpose and to subserve the
best interests OF the pay entertain the highest re-
spect for General Grant aud fully appreciate his emf
nent services both III the field ana President but
would be, ana never have been, in favor OF his
nomination for q third time. This feeling is
not based the third term question merely,
although thero is certainly a large portion OF
the people OF country who would refuse TO sup
port him ground do not believe he is the most
available candidate for US to nominate at this time. and
OF the many eminent names mentioned In connection
with the nomination he Is not the most likely 10 arouse
the enthusiasm and consolidate the vote OF the party.
From this yOu may infer my idea OF the duties Of our
delegates to Chicago. think emphoticaY that they
should be guided solely by the wishes Of the people and
the interests Of the party they represent and my action
OF Chicago will be IN accordance with these views.
David Monat, another delegate to Chicago says
nothing will induce him to vote for Grant. William
L. Smith says: II consider the unit rule binding,
and nn1er il will vote for Grant; but were left 10
my own choice would stand by Blaine, first. last

THE CHARTER AMENDMENT.
1IlE CIlAh 1 In @AHlI-NDHii4Nl
TAMMANY HALL OPPOSED TO IT'S PASSAGE BY THE
LEGISLATURE.

LEGISLATURE.
The question, Is the charter amendment
likely 10 pass was asked OF every Senator
and Assemblyman who came down from
Albany Saturday morning. Most Of them answered
in the negative. seemed to be the general impression
that the bill had been roughly handled by It's oppo-
neuts and the press OF this city that there not much
chance Of its passing the Senate even If could get
through the House.
Senator Bxby said: "I do not believe the bill will
become law, least in its present shape, which is
clearly unconstitutional"
Controller Kelly was asked yesterdays "Wlll the
Tammany Senators and AssemDlymen support the
Charter Amendment bill I"
"They will not" he replied. "They think 1t is alto
geher too partisan. II cOnfers the Republicans the
power Of filling vacancies to which they clearly
entitled considering the vote they cast in this city,"
"What reason do those who pushing the bill give
for their action :"
