| Detection IRON THE GRANT FORCE.
The President makers have been somewhat
mud,iled by the intelligence received here 10
dav The most important piece of news j.
| The. detection in the New York vote, pledged
| M the State Convention to vote as 4 unit for
| Grant IL j. known that twenty-sik, II not
! twenty-eiyht of these New York delegates
will not vote for Grant, bot that fourteen oil
| them will vote for Blaine and Others for Sher-
| man \ similar detection is threatened IN
| Pennsylvania, but Don Cameron went there
| last night and he may get his team INTO the
traces again. Ii any man can do 1t he can.
| The Grant men are however, annoyed by
these dcfections and dissatisfactions III their
two great strongholds OF New York and
PENNSYLVANIA. and they have fears that Hill
nois W i'll not go solid for Grant. They pro-
fess great confidence, however, that Gen.
Grant will receive a majority OF votes on the
first ballot The possibility that Blaine may
r, ccive the nomination will inspire the Grant
men to greater exertions, and make them
avow that the General desires the nomlna-
ton.
BLAINE's FRIENDS ELATED.
Blaine's friends are much elated over the
success of William +. Chandler in New
Hampshire, which ensures the ''plumed
knight over forty of the eighty votes which
New England will cast in the convention.
Four years ago he did not have half of that
number. The Blaine men are also pleased
over their partial success in Maryland, Wis
consin and Mississippi, and some of them de-
clare that Blaine will receive more votes than
Grant on the first ballot.
The SHERMAN MEN
Have never been depressed when their cause
has appeared hopeless to almost every one,
and they are iubiant now that they are pick
ing up few delegates in New York, in Penn
svlvania, in Maryland, in Wisconsin and in
Mississippi. They say that if the Grant
men and the Blaine men cannot succeed in
nominating their candidates, some of them
will go over to Sherman, and that they will
be followed on the next ballot by enough to
nominate "IIonest John"
Edmunds, Window, Hayes and other dark
horses are talked about, but nothing is being
done in their behalf that | can learn.
Special to Boston Advertiser.
WASHINGTON, May G.-The results of
yesterdays republican conventions, the open
revolt of the New York delegates against the
instructions of the State convention, the
threatened revolt in Pennsylvania. the con-
lition of affairs in the republican party of IT.
linois, supply the political leaders here with
abundant material for thoughttulness and
speculation, and the air is full of sensation
al rumors. Mr.. Conkling expresses con-
tempt for the New York rebellion, and
says it is certain that sixty-fve and
perhaps sixty-eight of the seventy
votes of New York will be cast for Grant
On the other hand, Blaine's friends
profess to have positive information tina,
| -, sc, 81. NJ, oil
| pledged to vote against Grant on the first
ballot. They claim that twenty-five of these
will vote for Blaine, and concede six to Sher-
man. Sherman's friends say they will &c,
more of them. The name of Hamilton Fish
| is frequently mentioned rs the possible choice
of Grants friends, in case they have to give
up their tavorite. 1t appears to be the case
that those who are so sincerely for Grant are
becoming more hostile to Blaine and
it is believed they will do all they can tc
prevent his nomination in any event.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., May I. 1880. Tn,
anti-third-term feeling has continued to in
crease to day. The declaration of Mr. Nc
Names of Philadelphia, and the letter of Sen
ator Robinson of New York. yesterday, il
favor of Mr.. Blaine, have been followed u,
BY the proceedings at Albany in favor of Mr.
Blaine. The news from Albany was tele
graphed here during the afternoon and pro
iuced marked effect upon political senti
ment Senator Cameron of Penn. is NOR,
effected by these developments than anv OF
the Grant men. He is not really so vocifer
ouo for Gen. Grant As he has been repre-
scented in the papers during the past week
In the first place. he never had any Interview
such az has been reported, in which he i.
| alleged TO have said that Gen. Grant was as
| certain to be nominated rs his hair was red
Nor did he have any interview with Mr.
McManes of Philadelphia such as is reported
in New York papers to-day. He is not max
| ing any foolish predictions about Gen. Grants
nomination just now. Mr.. Con&ling is the
only Grant man who preserves an attitude OF
defiant confidence in the strength of the Grant
movement He disposes of the Developments
| in New York by CURLY saying that he does
not believe what is reported, and he refuses
to discuss the matter. The results of next
Mondays work in Illinois are now awaited
with the utmost interest here. The friends
of Mr.. Blaine calculate that if Gen. Gran,
is overthrown there the ensuing conventions
in Louisiana. Alabama and other Southern
States will be wholly in his favor, and that
his nomination will at once become an inevi-
table fact.
