CHICAGO, May 26.-The evening trains
brought to the city several prominent polite
ians who will figure conspicuously in the COM
ing convention. The Hon. Eugene Hale, of
Maine. said that the anti-Grant men proposed
to demand representation everywhere he
thinks the committee on credentials will be
called upon to determine whether the Spring
field convention was a fair, legitimate State
convention.
Don Cameron and Gen. Kane say the rumor
of alleged detection in the Pennsylvania dele
CATION is entirely lacking in truth. Col. Tom
O,hiltree of Galveston, says the Texas delga-
ration were instructed to vote as q unit for
Grant. Thirteen out of the sixteen formally
preferred Grant two we're for Sherman and one
for Blaine. Grant, hs thought, could carry
louisiana, Florida, South and North CorOlina
and Virginia.
By the action of the local executive
committee yesterday in turning the build
ing over TO the subcommittee of the National
Republican committee, the Grant men got alb
soIute control over the building aud all ar
rangements for the convention. .
The National subcommittee are all fo
Grant. The local executive committee are 2
for Grant and for Blaine, making the joint
committee stand z for Grant, l for Blaine,
none for Sherman, none for Washburne, none
for Edmunds, none for Window, none for any
body else.
This Grant committee appOrtion space to
seat the various delegations, and of course will
give the Grant delegations the best places. If
the delegation are not distributed around that
hall, SO as to give the Grant people every
advantage of locction, it would be the fault OF
the Joint subcommittee.
The national subcommittee on arrange
ments held private meeting to-day. None
but recognized Grant men were admitted.
There were present Senators Cameron and
Logan, secretary Keegh, and Messrs. Clay
ton, Filey, All oihr3 of lass note.
The conference lasted till noon, when the party
paid visit to the convention building. There
all seemed satisfied with the arrangements, and
expressed themselves to that effect.
The general talk around the hotels among
politicians indicates increased confidence that
Grant will go in with hurrah on the first
ballot. The friends of Gen, Grant express the
opinion that when his strength becomes ap-
parent as the roll is called, more delegates who
are now considered doubtful, and many who have
preference for Sherman will Immediately turn
in and unite themselves with Grant men. The
Grant people are talking of ex-POstmaster
CressweIl for temporary chairman, but that is
no doubt blind, for when the time comes
some southern colored delegate, whose first
choice is Sherman, and whose second choice is
Grant, will probably be put forward to COM
pliment the colored men from the South and if
possible to catch the Sherman vote in the con-
vention, if the Sherman men break away from
their favorite SON.
Edmunds is certain to be the second choice
of the Grant men, especially Illinois. They
are thinking if they cannot nominate the ex'
President they can nominate Edmunds. at
the same time they expect the Edmunds men
to drop him and give Grant boost. They are
also expressing great admiration for the secre-
tary of the treasury and pretending to hope
that if Grant isn't named Ohio's favorite son
will be.
Col. Fred Grant is evidently sanguine regard
ing his fathers chances, stating as he did with
out reserve in reply to an intimation that Gen
Grant might Withdraw that there was no fea1
of such being the case, that Gen. Grant would
surely be candidate, that he would be elected,
especially if the unit rule was adhered to.
Was he sure that his father had more than
States enough to nominate him?
