ILLINOIS ANTI-GRANT DELEGATES.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills. May 22.-Just previous
to the final adjournment of the Republican
convention written protests were handed to the
secretary by representatives of the anti Grant
Congressional districts uniting in the protest
of the Seventeenth district previously read
The Farwell hall delegates from Cook county.
comprising majority of the First and Third
district delegates from Lake county, uniting
with the latter, held district conventions end
selected delegates to Chicago. The ti-Grant
men in the Nineteenth districts OF the State
have now selected delegates and alternates to
the national convention, who have been pro-
vided with credentials by the chairman and
secretary of the district conventions, and who
propose to contest the seats of the Grant dele
gates elected by the convention to represent
their districts. Their plan of action has not
vet been decided upon, but a programme will
be decided upon before the Chicago convention
meets. There will be, therefore, 10 anti Grant
delegates, who will apply for seats in the Chi
cago convention.
G. B. FARWELL'S MANIFESTO.
CHICAGO, May 22.-The following card from
Hon. G. B. Farwell will be published to-mor-
row: Springfield. Illinois. May 81. To the
Republicans of Illinois. By the personal and
desperate exertions of Senator Logan. of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue and his
collector, by disgraceful interference of nation
al officials in primaries and county conven-
t;oya naparol Grant has annaranflv carrind
Illinois by the contemplate majority of S8,
with Cook county not represented. If the
whole 90 of Cook had been admitted the
vote would have been 81 against Grant.
If the Sc uncoctested delegates
from Cook had been allowed to vote there
would have been eighteen majority against
Grant. The convention was packed from its
organization. The chairman was ordered to
recognize only certain persons. Debate WAS
cut off and parliamentary rules neglected or
over-ruled as the exigency required. What is
so meagre a majority in his own State worth to
General Grant? The anti Grant districts have
appointed delegates and will present them at
Chicago. Logan and Garcelon stand as the
political burglars Of the time, and Logan's
crime against liberty will in the end bring him
no more spoil than was won by Garcelon.
MISSOURI CONVENTION DOUBTFUL.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May 22-The Democratic
primaries for election of delegates to the State
convention, to be held at Moberly, the 26th
were held in this city this afternoon and to-
night Returns, SO far, in about one half OF
wards, indicate that the city will send pretty
strong anti-Tilden delegation. A good many
county conventions were also held to-day. re-
turns from some forty of which show that a
majority of them will be for Tilden. Opinions
are divided as to how the State convention will
stand, some claiming it for, and others against
Tilden. A few county delegations are instructed
but it is impossible to state the result definite
", and the complexion of the convention vii
not be known till after that body meets.
