EDMUNDS AND HIS FRIENDS,

A Move-Edmunds and Washburne Be-
+ lieved to be Good CombinatIon-Col-
lector Beard-He Believes That Grant is
Beaten.
Members of the MISUNDERSTANDING say
the action of the Vermonters in voting with
the Grant men In favor of the committee on
credentials making their report at once was a
shrewd move, and that it improved Edmunds
chances for the nomination. The ticket of
EdmundS and Washburne seemed to meet
with the most favor among them. The gener-
al feeling was that Grants chances were grow
ing less, and that his. defeat was certain. Mr..
Morse said that Massachusetts would have vot-
ed solidly No on the question Of receiving the
report of the committee ON rules, but so far as
the vote of the State is concerned on the mo-
ton of Gen. Sharpe instructing the commi ttee
on credentials to report is concerned, it had no
political significance.
Collector Beard, who happened in the room
at the time, said that he thought Grant was
surely laid out, and that Edmunds is the
coming man. He further remarked that
Grant ambassadors had visited the headouar-
tiers of the delegation, endeavoring to per-
suade them to vote against the admission of
the contesting delegates from Illinois, on the
ground that their admission would add to
Blaine's strength. Mr.. Beard also said that it
was apparently the policy of the Grant mana
gers to stimulate all the Presidential booms in
order to defeat Blaine, and that they had
strong hopes that in the desperation brought
about by protracted balloting the supporters
OF these various candidates would turn to
Grant in preference to Blaine

OUGHT TO WITHDRAW.
Views of An Intimate Friend of General
Grant

Views of An Intimate Friend of General
Grant,
WASHINGTON, June A strong personal
friend OF General Grant, probably one of the
most intimate friends he has in the world, now
here, says that in his Judgment Gen. Grant is
released from all obligations to the senatorial
syndicate and ought to withdraw. The gem
tlemen says that Grant has been mised by
these people, who have told him that he was
necessary to save the country; that he would
be demanded by the convention with unanim-
ity, and that it was his patriotic duty to accept
the nomination; but in view of the recent
events this gentlemen says that due regard
TO his own reputation ought to induce Grant to
decline further contest, whatever effect it NAV
have upon those who have sought to force his
nomination.
Secretary Sherman and Senator Blaine have
both busy with their telegraph wire. Sec
rotary Sherman has received long dispatches
from Governor Dennison, reassuring him as to
the situation, and indicating that the Grant
strength on the so-called vote of YESTERDAY was
only go, The tenor of Sherman's dispatches
is that Grant will most certainly be beaten if
he is not withdrawn.
Senator Blaine received similar dispatches,
his followers being extremely confident.

THE CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.
Lively Rencontre Between w. E. Chand-

Lively Rencontre Between W. E. Chand-
Ter and Gen. Raum over the Illinois Dis
pute.
A lively recontre took place during the ses-
sion of the Committee on Credentials yester-
day between VIM. E Chandler and Green B.
Raum. The Illinois matter was under consid-
delegate from the Second District (Chicagos
west side) and to exclude the delegates at
large. Mr.. Chandler, who made the motion.
explained that he did so simply to get an ex-
preston of opinion, but before he made this
statement, he delivered quite a long and Bit
ter speech. He had no complaint to make of
the Chairman of the Convention, (Mr. Raum }
but he did take issue with the convention it
self. This brought Raum to his feet. He
thanked Chandler for his forbearance, and
then accused him of effrontery in coming here
and charging that the convention of this great
State was fraudulent. 1t was representative
one, composed of the best business men of IL
linois, and he could not but feel the insult.
The speaker admired New England methods
of converting and selecting delegates, but
there were other methods equally good, Lin
coin acted ON the unit rule in all the conven-
lions in which he took part.
Mr.. Chandler took exception to the remarks
about his effrontery and cut his antagonist by
savagely remarking that he (Chandler) was
not Federal Office holder, and was not here
as contesting delegate. He then withdrew
his motion, and it was voted, 10 to 2, to exclude
the second district contestants.
Gen. Tracy made a strenuous effort to get
through the committee, resolution indorsing
the action of the Sprinfield Convention, but
it failed by a vote of q to II, two not voting:

of Finance has done good deal IN causing
pacards to be posted, which it would be well
for citizens Of all countries 10 have before their
eyes. 1t tells farmers, sportsmen, boys, and
Others what creatures not to kill, rs follows:
Hedge hog-Lives mostly on mice, small TO
dents slugs and grubs-anmals hurtiul to az
riculture. Don't kill the hedgehog.
Toad-Farm assistant. He destroys 20 10
30 insects per hour. Don't kill the toad
Mole-Is continually destroying grubs, lar
vac palmer worms and insects injurious to az.
rculture. No trace of vegetation is ever found
in its stomach. Don't kill the mole.
Birds-Each department loses several mil.
hons annually through insects. Birds are the
only enemies able to contend with them Wig
OrOusly. They are the great caterpller killers
and agricultural assistants.
Lady bird-Never destroy, for they are the
best friend of farmers and horticulturists and
their presence upon aphis.rldden plants is
beneficial.
