Sherman Does Not Want the Second Place


fBy Telegraph to the sentinel.l
WASHINGTON, May 24-The action Of the
| Illinois and Alabama Conventions, in add
ing So votes to the Grant column, has Gre
ated among the Washington politicians
what is commonly described as q "bulge"
for the ex-President. The fact that this
feeling has set in during the week immedi-
ately preceding the meeting of the Balti-
more Convention, is conceded to be decid-
eddy advantageous to Grant. 1t is appar-
emit to a great many Congressman who, ten
days ago, did not think Grant could be
nominated, have, since the Illinois Con-
v~ention, r~econsidered their conclusions,
and now admit that it will require a COM
bination of unexpected circumstances to
defeat him.
The most prominent friends Of Blaine
and Sherman do not despair Of still achiev-
ing success for their respective candidates.
Sherman's friends deny the rumor that
he is 10Y DESTROYS of obtaining the second
place on the Grant ticket. Secretary Sher-
man is not q candidate for a second place
with anybody, but is hopeful Of securing |
the grand prize.
VIM. E. Chandler still writes that Grant
cannot and will not be nominated, and the
theory OF the Blaine men, all of whom
think as Chandler does, that Grant will not
have success on the first ballot, and that
after that there will be a general break up,
when Blaine will be run in. There is one
fact apparaDt and that 10 that Rlaino and
Sherman expect to succeed by some means.
That is. by securing the bulk Of the Grant
delegates at the second chance. The friends
Of both think that the delegation instruct
ed for Grant will not stand by the
unit rule n that, in such event, Grant
will loose twenty per cent. at least
OF his estimated vote on the first ballot.
The Democratic solution does not at
tract SO much attention. even among Dem
ocrats, as does the Chicago fight. It is not
denied by the Democrats that Tilden is
making q good deal OF Roadway. and the
belief is general that he will be the NOM
inee. TIL Democratic members Of Con-
gress from New Jersey unite in saying that
the claim that Tilden has received nearly
the whole of the New Jersey delegates is
not we'll founded. They say the delegation
is constituted as follows For Bayard, 8

strike and Riot Of Cotton Factory
Operatives-They Burn she Fac
tOry-Military Called Out to
Quell the Disturbance.
New YORK, May PA dispatch from
Madrid says: Full details have been re-
ceived in this city in regard to the strikes
and riot that have just taken place in Bar
celona. 1t seems that some of the opera
tives who were incensed against their COM
rades for having accepted q reduction Of
wages in the wooden factory, mustered 900
strong before the works. and ordered their
fellow workmen to leave and join the
strike. Meeting with a refusal, they en-
teied the factory aud drove the men out,
destroyed the looms and machinery, and
finally set fire to the building 10 several
places. AS they were preparing to visit
other establishments for the purpose OF
carrying out asimilar programme, the civil
authorities attempted to interfere. but were
powerless to suppress the disorder. The
crowd constantly increased until it finally
assumed most formidable proportions.
The alarm speedily spread, and all the other
shops were immediately closed. The oper-
atives left their benches. and the military
was called out. As soon as they appeared
the operatives separated into angry and
hostile groups, but no resistance was
offered. Upwards Of so Of the ringleaders
are arrested, meanwhile the fire engines
were hard at work endeavoring to arrest
the progress OF the flames in the burning
factory. The striking workmen were 80
threatening in their demonstrations that it
was found necessary to protect the firemen,
and station military in the streets, avenues
and roads, 30 as to prevent the operatives
in the suburbs from joining those Of the
city.
The Governor Of Barcelona and the mill
tary authorities report that all il now
quiet. 1t has been learned that the work
men were excited by revolutionary agents.
By order of the government the unions
and workingmen's associations have been
dissolved.
Hon. II. b. Farwelps Card in ReIa-
tion 70 the Late Convention.
CHICAGO. May 24.-The following card
from Hon. H. B. Farwsll is published:
~SPRISarIELD. May 24.-To the Republic
q n OF Illinois: By the personal and des-
perate exertions Of Senator Logan; the
COMMISSIONS Of Internal Revenue and
his Collectors. and by the disgraceful in
reference OF National officials in the pri-
maries and County Conventions, General
Grant has apparently carried Illinois by
the contemplate majority Of SO. with Cook
county u~nrepresented. II the whole 90 Of
the Cook county delegation had been ad- |
mitted, the vote would have been "a against |
Grant. II the Sc uncontested delegates
from Cook county had been allowed to vote
there would have been 10 majority against !
Grant. The Convention was packed from
its organization. The Chairman was or |
dered to recognize only certain persons. |
The debate was cut of and parliamentary
law neglected or overruled, as the exigency |
required. What is SO meagre a majority
In his own State worth to General Grant?
The anti Grant districts have appointed
delegates, and will present them at Chi
cago. Logan and Garcelon stand as the
political burglars OF the time. and Logan's
crime against liberty will in the end bring
him no more spoils than was won by Gar
celon.
