CHICAGO, May 11.-Some Iaisconception appears
In have arisen respecting the actual oc-
currence which brought about bolt IN
the Cook County Convention yesterday
The custom which obtains in certain states'
especially in the East, Of allowing the chairman
of the Central Committee to name the temporary
chairman of the Convention, has never been recog-
nized In Illinois 1t has been the practice, with
ont n single exception, for the chairman OF
the Central Committee to call the Conven-
ton to order simply. and state that he awaits
the action of that body. ID. 81. singer

which he would have named in the Grant
interest. 1t was only the prompt action OF
the Convention in suppressing him that prevented
him from usurping the organization and naming
committee which would have overruled the results
of the primaries. This was the Grant programme
from the beginning In factone Of the chietengneers
of the third term movement in this city admitted
to the correspondent of The TRIBUNE that from
the moment Mr.. Farwell rebuffed them in their
attempt TO secure part of the delegates to Spring
field. they determined to bolt They were aston
ished that the Convention gave them so good pre-

Logan and his friends. If new primaries were held
TODAY it Is extremely doubtful whether the Grant
men could elect ten men to the County Convention.
So overwhelming is the feeling that the county, IN
case of Grants nomination, is liable to give so
heavy Democratic majority that the State would
he a doubtful as Ohio or Indiana. Threats OF de-
lection are frequent
The disgust is so loudly expressed and deeply felt
that the Grant leaders may yet be compelled to take
notice of it. The Grant campaign bureau is in re-
ceipt of hosts of kilograms and letters of remon-
STRANGE and is particularly cautioned against this
revolutionary conduct by the frightened candidates
for State Offices who recognize the fact that with
q divided or disafected party in Illinois, their
chances for election would not be worth rush.
The Journal is out tonight with column leader
urging General Grant, whom 1T has formerly sup
ported to withdraw from the scramble for the nol-
nation. The Tribune serves notice on the candi-
dates for State offices that should the State
Convention, accept the Grant delegates and refuse
to admit the regular Cook County delegation then
auy nomination they may receive from such Con-
vention will not be worth the paper on which 1t Is
recorded.
A large number of afidavits alleging that the
Grant men introduced scores of Democratic voters
at the primaries are published. Pending negotia-
tions for a compromise (which are now proceeding
with Indifferent chances of successl the third term
men have employed Leonard SWEET to bolster up
their case, secure counter afldayits. and make as
good showing as possible at Springfield.
CLAIMS OF THE GRANT AND BLAINE MEN,
The political condition of Illinois tonight may
be stated as follows; The Grant people make the
claim that Grant will have In the State
from the twenty-nine counties which have
held conventions. but not including Cook
County, 321 delegates in the State Convention,
Blaine 1853, and Washburne 20. As there are Fl
more counties to hear from the complexion of the
State Convention they claim. Is already decided II
Cook County is left ont Of question; and they
hold that the Grant delegation from Cook County
will certainly be admitted at Springfield. This
will certainly give them the organization of the
Convention by large majority, and they will pro-
coed to instruct a solid Grant delegation to the
Chicago Convention.
On the other hand, the estimate made by the

of anti-Grant delegates in the State Conventlo1
after the admission of Cook County delegates, and
a very close vote before their admission. They do
not how the State delegates can refuse to admit
the antiGrant delegates, as the Convention trans
acted all its bukiLess in regular manner, gave no
cause for bolt and has even now in its archives the
credentials of the very men who VIII contest the
right to sit in the prlngield Convention. Ihey
hold, moreover. that the delegates who nave @ 9een

The total number IN the State Convention Is o92
and 347 votes will be necessary for majority.

from Cook County was held at the Grand Pacihc
