The Inter.O Oceans Washington reporter
has interviewed Mr.. Garfield, who show
ed that the instructions OF the State Con-
ventions instruct only delegates at large,
they have no binding force over district
delegates who are selected by districts,
or by representatives OF districts in con-
| vention. He knew Of no combination to
break down the instructing rule at Chi
| cago, but felt confident that it would be
broken. The city is alive with politi-
clans. They are so far almost exclusively
Grants friends, and the Grant meeting
on Wednesday promises to be great
affair. Much interest is felt here in tho
movements of the district delegates from
Illinois, twenty in all, and for Blaine.
Their rights will be vigorously presented
in the National convention. The fight
promises to DO sharp and prolonged
one. The convention is to last three
days.
The Greenback headquarters have
been opened at the Parker House, in
this city, with General Z. F. Butler in

vention have already begun to arrive,

SPRINGFIELD, May "a. To the Repub-
licans Of Illinois: By the personal end
desperate exertions of Senator Logan;
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
and his Collectors and by the disgraceful
interference of national officials in the
primaries and county conventions, Gen.
eral Grant has apparently carried Illinois
by the contemplate majority of 80, with
Cook county unrepresented. If the
whole % of the Cook county delegation
had been admitted, the vote would have
been 81 against Grant. If the Sc uncon
tested delegates from Cook county had
been allowed to vote there would have
been Is majority against Grant The
convention was packed from its organi
cation. The Chairman was ordered tt
recognize certain persons. The debate
was cut off and parliamentary law neglect
ed or overruled, as the exigency required
What is so meagre majority in his owl
State worth to General Grant? The anti
Grant districts have appointed delegates
and will present them at Chicago. Logan
and Garcelon stand as the political burg
lars of the time, and Logan's crim
against liberty will in the end bring hin
no more spoils than were won by Gar
celon.
