HOW THE ADJOURNMENT WAS ACCOMPLISHED
 BLAINE AND SHERMAN FIXING THINGS

ELAINE AND SHERMAN IdlNGS - MASSACHUSETTS SAID TO BE GOING OVER TO
 sHERn1AN-aossIP AND SPECULATION. The agent of the National Associated Press has just been informed upon the highest authority of the actual reason for an adjourn ment this evening, and the combination of the Blaine, Sherman and other anti-Grant men to secure it. It was noticeable during the entire evening session that Chairman Hoar favored an adjournment, as in every case where & delegate rose to propose recess he was in stantly recognized. This IS explained by the fact that Hoar received dispatch from Wash ington stating that Secretary Sherman and Senator Blaine were in conference there, and that they desired their friends here to com bine and secure an adjournment until to- morrow in order that a decision might be reached between Blaine and Sherman, which, if it did not secure the selection of one or the other, would probably in- sure the defeat of Grant. The final adjournment resolution was moved by MT. Lowering, of Massachusetts who was recog- nized instantly by the Chair. There had been, it is stated, an understanding between Hoar and members of the Massachusetts del egation, and it was in point of fact Massa- chusetts that secured the adjournment. Conkling had private advices from Washing ton and fair idea of the object of the oppo- sition. He opposed an adjournment and in sisted on call of States to show who de- signed it.
 Ex-Lieutenant Governor Grosvenor of Ohio, member of the Ohio delegation and an ardent Sherman man, said to night "It is absolutely essential that we find some one who can make an inroad on Grants strength. Unless we can do that am convinced that Grant will be the nominee, and confess do not yet see the man. I am afraid Sherman cannot do it and it is necessary that he should if he is to win. Grant is short seventy odd fi,,6 vuh m pull off 9 more votes from Grant we shall stand some chance, but otherwise we shall not"
 The friends of Edmunds and Windom each think their candidate is the man result both are liable to be balloted tomorrow. Garfield is also talked of tonight The New York delegation are still confident. One of the most prominent members, who is friend of Conking said the signi- ficance of the adjournment was anything to beat Grant, but that they believed he could not be defeated, as they had every reason to think they could hold their forces solid to the last. There is little or nothing said about the second place, and it depends en- tirely on the first place. The Ohio and Massachusetts delegates are having caucusses tonight, and it is reported that the latter will tomorrow unite with the former in SUD- port of Sherman.
