Special to the Sentinel:
CHICAGO H., ,Iune l, ! a. m.-Ezcitement has
been at fever heat all day. Nearly all the del
egates are now in the city, ready for the con-
test. which is only fairly open. The event o.
the day has been the meeting Of the Commit
tee tonight, in which Senator Cameron took
matters IN MS own hands and refused to en-
tertain all motions and appeals from his de-
cislons, except the selection Of Senator Hoar'
OF Massachusetts, for temporary President,
and the appointment of Committee to
range for the hall and admissions thereto.
THE FEELING IS VERY STRONG on BOTH SIDES,
and serious apprehensiOns are felt of split in
the Committee and Convention. The Grant
men express the highest confidence, and say
the nomi nation of their candidate is now
assured. IN case the unit rule is
decided favorable they will hold their in
structed votes. II unfavorably they will en-
deayOr 10 pick up stray delegates from the
different States to secure a majority.
The Blaine say they have put Mr.
Cameron on record, which was what they
sought, and that response from the country
will be so plain that it will react in their favor
They are having every apprehension, lest the
Grant men may
ADOPT THE sPRINGFIELD METHOD
and carry the Convention regardless of the
sentiment Of the delegates.
1t IS said that Senator Edmunds sent dis
patch to his friends to-day refusing to permit
his name to 50 before the Convention, and
advising his friends TO vote for Grant.
Il is reported that Washburne VIII be here
tomorrow 20 work for Grant.

and devoted attention for the forty-eight
hours past II is claimed by s GTsnt cIa; mHn
which the friends of the other candidates re-
fuse to allow. The principal candidates have
very active and very confident friends, and Sc
far as can be learned, there is no giving way
in any quarter as yet. A large delegation rom
Philadelphia, with white hats, arrived to day,
and were received with a band and other
demonstrations of welcome. Cincinnati
furnished another lsrgs delegation, which was
received in like manner.
The evening proved to be a fine one, and at
an early hour large crowds of people poured
in fiom trains, street cars, and came from the
extreme psrt OF the city in masses to attend

Notwithstanding the vast crowds on the
Lake Park attending the the two meetings for
Grant and anti-Grant, the corridors OF the
interest is manifested, and every report of the
work OF the managers OF the candidates,
whether reasonable or unreasonable, Is seized
upon and discussed in Its bearing upon the
Candidates. The greatest interest centers
about the Palmer House, where
SECRET MEETING
cfthe National Committee is being held. 1t
had Deen given out by the friends OF Blaine
that II Senator Cameron should persist in
ruling for the unit rule, the National Com
mittee would not hesitate TO remove him from
the Chairmanship. A caucus was held during
the day aud a course OF action marked out,
having that result for ultimate action. There
was feeling of reluctance on the part OF some
members. especially the supporters of Sher-
man and William E. Chandler, to the deposi-
tion of Cameron, and some other way toward
an anti Grant organization OF the Convention
was hoped for.
