Special Dlspoteh to The Chicago Tribune.
MADISON, Wis, May 29.-Language fails
to convey tho utter disgust and indignation
felt by the stalwart Republicans of Wiscon-
sin at the course adopted by John 4. Logan
and other machine politicians of Illinois at
the contemplate manner in which they over
rode the wishes of the Republican party OF
Illinois and fo1sted upon them Grant dele
gates to the National Convention. Men who
were previously in favor Of Grants candidacy
before the Illinois Convention openly avow
themselves as opposed to such barefaced
robbery, and say if Grant is to be nominated
by such means they will not support him if
nominated. This feeling is widespread
among the intelligent voters of Wisconsin.
From all parts Of the State come in reports
of this feeling. The voters Of this State will
not have candidate forced upon them by
fraud Of this character. The feeling is wide
spread in this State should Grant be no1ni-
mated, that the only course for Republicans
to take is to take measures to nominate
third candidate and give him their suffrage.
This feeling cropped out at onr Convention
when number of the most prominent Re-
publicans in the State entered a strong

was forced upon the Republican party by
chicanery, whicl. the action Of the Illinois
Convention plainly indicates, then a third

action of the Republican Convention with

are delegates to that Convention may guide

a candidate who will unite the party and
carry it forward to victory fear that the ma
