The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-05-11

says speaker Randafl, W llilam L.. ScotU,
of Erie, Pennsylvania, and Henry Wat
terson, of the Courier-J Journal, paid Mr.
Tilden visit together, and remained
with him several hours. Toward sum
set Tilden and Watterson took drive
in Central Park in Tilden's victoria. A
few other visitors were denied admis-
sion to the Gramerey Park house on
the plea that Tilden was particularly
engaged. Randall arrived from Wash
ington in the morning and returned
last night. Wattersen was invisible at
the Everett House last night, being fa-
tigued. Mr.. Scott had not returned to
the Fifth Avenue Hotel at late hour.
1t was rumored at the Manhattan Club
last evening, where the interview OF
Tilden's three trustiest aids with their
chief soon became known and was made
a topic of conversation, that Tllden,
since the Ohio Convention, had deter
mined to prepare a letter Of withdraw
al, with power of attorney to his DEL
egates to nominate a candidate, and
that William L Scott was to hold the
power in blank.
A Washington dispatch says the
PLANE men are worried over the fact
AJoNfo,,,. Is D1,Jo1a1,Nh,o ha
leader of the Pennsylvania bolt among
the delegates to Chicago, declined to
call ON Blaine when here last week.
This, when taken in connection with
the public statement that McManus is
for Sherman, has raised the question
whether Blaine will gee all the dele
gates he has been counting on from
Pennsylvania when the bolt his friends
have been helping on takes place. 1t
is known here that there is very re-
spectacle number of delegates, both m
the New York and Pennsylvania dele
Cations, who will vote for Sherman,
if the proper occasion is offered them.
The strength Of the Secretary did not
appear in either of the States since he
did not seem to make fight against
either Cameron or Conkling in their
own State. For this reason it is
thought he will be much stronger than
e
States as well as of Illinois, in case
Grant is not nominated.
The Cook County, Illinois, Republi-
can Convention met yesterday in Chi
cago. It was opened by general row
which resulted in several knock downs,
on account of the Grant men claiming
the right to dictate respecting the NOM
nation of Chairman, and the police
were obliged to interfere. The anti
third term delegates then organized the
Convention, and the Grant men imme-
diately bolted. It is regarded as sig
J nifcant that the Grant men consider
his chance in Illinois desperate. They
will send a delegation to Springfield to
contest. 1t is understood that the
Grant managers sent word to the anti
Grant men that unless they were given
a share of the delegates to Springfield
that the State Convention would in
struct for Grant. Word was returned
that such action could not be taken,
because Grant would only have mi
nority in the State Convention.
Loyal Mexicans residing in San Fran
cisco are somewhat exercised over the
presence of one Colonel Gotta, who was
second in command under General Mar
quis de Leon. Some think that he is
there for the purpose Of raising volun-
teers, or perhaps to procure arms and
ammunition. A battle is daily ex-
pected between the Federal forces and
the revolutionists intrenched at San
Rafael. The Federal commander has
instructions to show no quarter.
The New York Herald estimates that
the delegates SO far as elected to Chi
cago will stand about as follows ::
Grant 255, Blaine 2l4, Sherman 80,
Edmunds, 81 and Washburn l3. Grant
is barely II votes ahead of Blaine and
very far short of a majority of the dele
gates. He is more likely TO lose than
