From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, March ia member OF
the Republican State Committee OF Michi-
gan of prominence, who is here, says that
il Grant is nominated Michigan becomes
doubtful State. The anii-Grant man, on
hearing his statement remarked sagely,
THAT is what told you" The anli-Til-
den men, on the receipt today Of fuller de-
tails in regard TO the action Of the State
Democratic Committee OF Pennsylvania at
Pittsburgh yesterday, are more iubiIant
even than they were last night, and say
the victory Of Wa llacc & Co. aud the defeat
OF the Two Samuel Us were more complete
than they at first supposed On the selec-
ton OF Harrisburg as the place for holding
the Convention the vote stood 80 to 20,
and on the 18th Of April as the time it
stood % 10 -. On the motion TO in
struct the chairman to place on the
roll the Democrats already elected from
PHILADELPHIA the vote was 80 to IA. The
report is that the committee stood SO Wal,
lace (anti-Tildenl 10 II Randall (Tilden).
The Wallace men tonight say that this as
sures an anti-Tilden vote from Pennsylva-
MIA at Cincinnati, as the rule is Tor The
keystone State to vote as unit. | asked
RepubEcan OF influence and intelligence to-
day what he thought Of the presidential
situation, and he said that in primary
election Grant would lie beaten badly at the
North. aud yet there is danger that the
northern machine politicians and the ne
grotS of the South VIII give him the noml-
nation over Blaine, Washburne, and Sher-
man. "You are not much better OIL,
said be, "for Mr. TIden has the
machine politicians Of the NORTH,
while The masses are against him."
Without answering his remark about
Mr.. Tilden. asked, "What would be
the effect of the nomination OF Grant ?"
His reply was, Z" 1t will cause detection
among others than the Germans, for it will
set the very cream Of the Republican party
of the North to thinking whether they
| ought to submit TO the rule OF the machine
aud the negroes. / do not appreciate the
remarks made often to-day in my presence
: in regard to a victory over Speaker Randall,
for whether he be in the mi )rity or mi
uority on any particular question, bis great
experience and ability make him power
not only in the Democratic party OF Penn
I sylvania, but of the whole country. He
has right TO be for Mr.. Tilden, and be-
, lievng him an available candidate he should
do his best to secure his nomination at Gin
cinnati."
