the story If a rupture between Randall
and Tllden, ard says: One Of kani6ll's
friends assured your correspondent sgain
| tonight that there was no doubt what
ever tnat rupture had occurred between
Randall and Ti!de0, and that the former
had begun t. lay his own pipes for the
| Cincinnati nomination.
| The Times comments thus on its
special Dispatches from Chicago: a
careful canvass briggs into str1rg relief
! the utter untTustWOrthiness of a large
prop rticn of the southern delegates, and
shows that in some cases where The solid
vote of state was counted in for Grant
there Is danger Of detection. On the
other hand, there arc several southern
delegates assumed t. be for Blaine or
Sherman, who are now expected 10 vote
on the first ballot for Grant, and in the
northwest the canvass OF the delegates
reveals more Grant strength than was
given in The Times. The general impress
sion left by a study of this canvass will
be the liability OF southern republicans
II yield - corrupt influences, which
counts for a good deal more in reckoning
the chances of the various candidates
than is good for the character either ofthe
convention or the ptry. Sherman's
treasury agents ave found pupils only
too apt on learning TO regard national
convention as presidential auction msrt.

Chicago, There ia great danger Of
a quaTTeisome explosion IN the cOnVen-
ton, IN consequence Of the defeat of
Grants domination, which seems t. be
more probable than ever to-day. Conkling,
Cameron ana some other Grant leaders,
conscious that they have lost control Of
the convention, are apparently disposed
10 have it destroyed by inharmony.
Senator Jones, who Is laboring earnestly
IN the interests Of peace, was selected
this morning to see Cameron, and en-
deavOr 10 agree upon some satisfactory
basis for Cancellation. If Cameron per-
sls:s IN his refusal to entertsin the anti
Grant resolutions, moved yesterday, il is
known that at least two additional New
York delegates will join the nineteen
pr1iestsnts against Grant, and another,
making twenty-three in all, is expected
TO join them in The critical moment.
Nothing Is yet done about depOsing
Cameron except a committee Of confer
ence. The excitement which seemed to
prevail in the city last night Is exceeded
by The excitement to-day, il having been
announced that st IL o'clock an sd
jOurned meeting of the national com
mittea would BE- held, and upon the fur
ther refusal of Mr.. Cameron 10 entertain
an ant-uult rule, a resolution would re-
suit IN his immediate deCapitatiOn. The
rush was for the vicinity of the commit
tee rooms, where ths question at issue is
now being wildly discussed. There are
two opinions am5ng the majority of The
committee. Ore, led by ex-senator
Chsitee, l. for the removal Of Cameron
aud radical change Of slI committees;
the other Is held by such men as Gov.
Jewell, Of Connecticut who will only
consent to the removal of Cameron upon
the refusal of Senator Conk.ing and
other Grant leaders to promise not to
seek TO enforce the Nit RUE in the pre-
liminsry organization. If that pledge
were given them, Mr.. Cameron and Sec
rotary keCgh were 10 be eft undsturbed;
If refused, then conservative men would
vote with radicals for the removal. The
majority aTc determined to get a view Of
the roll Of mem bers and see what claim
ants for seats are not adverse to the in
terests of the opposing candidates. As
they are now IN possession of the hall
they feel able TO command the situation.
An adjournment of the national COM
mittee viii be taken till u. 1t is Ie-
ported that Conkling, Logan and Cam
eron met the committee and conceded
everything the Rnti-Grants demanded.
Mr.. W. L. Chandler had been selected
by the opposition 10 take Cameron's
place. 1t now remains to be seen what
will be done since the concession made by
the senators. Members of the committee
say that in the meeting proper TO vote,
not even enc that may be considered rs
indicating the relative strength, has yet
be n taken.
The Union Veterans met at Haver-
ley's Theatre, this morning, in the inter
est Of the candidacy of General Grant.
Woodiord was made chairman, and sew
eTal TousiDg speeches were made. Lieu
tensnt-General Sheridan was loudly
called for, but only bowed and made no
speech. Resolutions were adopted de-
claring in favor of the principles Of tne
I =.
and protection Ofrepublicans in the south
and that General Grant was the choice of
the meeting for the presidency. The lat
Ter resolution met strong opposition.
Boutelle, Of Maine, Congressman Bur
and tending to d vide the republican
party. The vote was Ose, but the chair
man decided that it IVES carried, amid
cries of mo, no."
1t having been announced that Massa-
chusetts would cast twenty votes on the
first ballot for Sherman, that being the
Edmunds strength, Judge Hosr was seen
as to the correctness OF the statement.
He said they would give their first vote
TO Edmunds, as instructed, snd after
that to Sherman. The Blaine vote in the
Ohio delegation numbers nine, and
Mock, of the SsHdusky Register, says
they viii vote OF the first ballot for
Blaine.
To-nigh. st least twenty-three Penn
sylvanis delegates viii publish their de-
termination to oppose Grants nomination
despite the unit rule.
Conklirg made long speech in the
New York delegation, supporting the
unit rule, and carried 8 resolution direct
ing him to cast the seventy votes solid for
Grant, despite protest. Twenty-three
delegates voted against the resolution,
and vii so vote in the convention, to
which the whole question will be referred.
The Pacific Coast. delegates, including
Washington and Wyoming Territories,
hsve consolidated for united action on
the Chinese question. They still stand
solid for Blaine, and have strong hopes
Of his nomination. A rumor is now
abroad that Cameron agrees 10 obey the
viii Of the msjority of the nationsl COM
mittee If he fails, Chandler will sue
coed him.
