 1 CHICAGO, H., June 1.-The meeting of the
 National Republican Committee to-day proved less stormy than last nights. As soon as the meeting was called to order Governor Cor I nell, of New York, on the part of the Grant managers, submitted proposition that they would accept Senator Hoar of Massachusetts l for temporary chairman and would leave the 1 question of the enforcement of the unit rule 1 to his judgment. This led to long informal l discussion. The anti-Grant men on the com | mittee had gone into the meeting fully re- l solved to depose Cameron, and they were somewhat surprised at this sudden change in tactics on the part of the Grant men. The action of the latter was the result of long conference last night after the adjournment of the committee and was determined upon in order to prevent bolt in the convention. This fact was openly admitted in the commit
 tee meeting this morning. The present indi- cations are that the concession of the Grant men will prevent bolt, though it is by no means certain as yet. The anti-Grant mem bers of the convention still very bitter over the refusal of Senator Cameron at the meeting last night to entertain any motion instructing him as to the unit rule and his refusal to submit to the committee an appeal from his decision. It is understood, but not definitely settled, that w. E. Chandler is the candidate of the maleontents for the chair manship.
 The Kentucky delegation organized by electing J. D. White chairman. O. D. Bradley was chosen as a member of the National Com l mittee, R. F. Stall as member of the com mittee on organization and A. Tweed of the committee on resolutions. Hon. Walter Ev- ans was defeated for every position through the exertions of Brown and Hubbard, who held the balance of power. The Grant mem bers of the committee are quiet and refuse ab- solutely to define their position. gentleman whose name is known throughout the States said simply when asked what the proposed to do 'FWhy, we have quorum and we are regular. We have the books and records of the con- mittee. Cameron is the legal chairman of the committee and has absolute control of the convention hall. The police will act un- der his instructions, and of course we are not responsible if any faction chooses to bolt from the convention or attempts to usurp the functions of the regular committee. Cameron cannot be deposed." One promi- nent Sherman manager adds that Grant has 334 votes absolutely, even if the unit rule is not enforced. q am absolutely sure of the figures, and the Grant managers know their actual strength. If the unit rule could be enforced in Pennsylvania and New York Grant would have within eighteen votes of a nomination That would be dangerously close. But the unit rule will not be enforced; we will not permit it." If in spite of oppo- sition the rule would be insisted upon there would be then, he thought, split in the con vention.
 The National Committee shortly before one o'clock took Q recess until 2.30 p. m. without reaching any decision to what should be done in regard to Senator Came ron's position. Most of the session was devoted to this matter and many insisted Cameron should be required to recede from the stand he had taken. ''We think the mem
 bers of the committee are entitled to free speech" said Governor Mccormick of the committee, prominent Blaine leader, and
 
 men. The members of the committee and the leaders of the several factions are flooded with dispatches from prominent Republicans everywhere, begging them to put stop to the wrangle, on the ground that it is fatally injuring the party. Many of the dispatches say that two con- ventions would be less harmful than the present contest An incident of this forenoon was the appearance of Whitelaw Reid of the New York Tribune in the corri-
 dor just outside the door leading into the committee room, vigorously laying down the
 law to three or four members of the com
 mittee whom he had called out. He first
 sent for Governor Mccormick, then for FL
 kins and Chaffee Aldrich of Rhode Island. Mir. Arthur, who is not member of the
 committee, joined the group and in an in-
 stant the little knot of notables were the center of mob who collected. Mir. Reid
 had just arrived from New York and insisted that Cameron was only the servant
 of the committee and that he was
 bound to carry out its wishes and should be
 instantly deposed if he refused. Among
 other members invited out by MT. Reid was
 William B. Chandler, but he was too busy to
 come. Senator Conkling spent most of the
 forenoon in meeting the New York delegation
 and trying to prevent any break from Grant.
 Congressman Bingham, of Pennsylvania, who
 is Blaine man, said to-day that there would
 be twenty-two anti-GranG votes from Penn | of Philadelphia. The Grant men still insist
 there will not be over twelve anti-Grant votes
 from the State. Strenuous efforts are being
 made to secure votes for the leading candi-
 dates Some of the Grant men are claiming
 to-day that they have made formidable
 break in the Indiana delegation and gained
 several votes for Grant.
 The Pacific coast delegations met at the
 Sherman House to-day and appointed the
 following committee to draft resolution on the Chinese question and report at ten a. m.
 tomorrow Judge D. S. Payne of California, H. w. Scott of Oregon, T. D. Edwards of Nevada. D. N Cruits of Washington and M.
 C. Brown of Wyoming. The meeting favored
 the abrogation of the treaty, but by lawful
 means The California delegates selected
 Hon. Horace Davis to succeed George c. Gorham on the National Committee. John N. Mansfield was
 named as one of the vice presidents of the
 convention. The Iowa delegation made N.
 B. Henderson chairman. The unit rule was
 condemned. but preference was expressed
 for Blaine with Washburne as second choice.
 The Illinois delegates held meeting to-day
 and thirty-eix of the delegation were present. They elected Senator Logan permanent chair
 man of the delegation. It was decided to
 nominate Green B. Raum to the National convention for the Illinois member of the committee on credentials, Emory A. Storrs
 for the committee on resolutions, and R. Whiting of Peoria for the committee on per manent organization. Storrs R. TuthiH and MT. Wright were appointed committee to
 prepare for the National Committee a state ment, in the interest of the Grant phalanx, of the state of affairs in Illinois. D. Little was appointed assistant chairman of the del epation and the meeting adjourned until evening.
 The Michigan delegation met this morning and after passing resolutions deprecating third term, received the following report from the committee on unit rule, which was unanimously adopted:
 Resolved by the delegation from the State of Michigan to the Republican National con vention, that we respectfully request the Ma, tional Committee not to adopt the ,so-called
 unit rule, as being in violation of the univer- sal practice of the Republican party.
 Resolved that copy of this resolution be handed to General Heath, to be presented to the National Committee.
 The committee which submitted these reso- lutions consisted of O. D. Conger, A. H.
 Morrison and Morgan Bates, and there was not vote against them, except one dissenter to the anti-third term resolution The dele 1 eation is for Blaine with Washburne second | m - Il 1-- l1@
