THE FEELING AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June 2d.-The interest felt
among the Republicans at The capital in the
proceedings at Chicago was very intense to-
day. Senator Conkhpg's imperious remarks
to the New York delegates at their Ireeting
yesterday, and his announcement that he will
cast the vote of New York as a unit, caused
much comment. The agreement of yester
Grant relative to the temporary organization
of the Convention is not regarded as an end
ing of hostilities, but simply as lull in the
storm, which will probably break out afresh
and with increased fury when the instructed
| delegations from New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois cast their votes The Blaine
men here regard with some suspicion the Sc.
lection by the Grant men of Senator Hoar
| for temporary Chairman of the Convention.

satisfied with the outlook for tomorrow. and
predict Blaine's nomination on the third or
fourth ballot.

politics of this city and State. One of these
gentlemen emerged from the residence OF

ay, and reporter who was acquainted with
him asked him, What docs Tilden think of
the outlook at Chicaso:n He thinks that
Grant will hardly be nominated, after all, -
responded Tilden's visitor. "Who, then ~
queried the reporter. Blaine or dark
horse, +" was the reply.
The Tribune has several articles on the
same subject, whereof the following is the
