CHICAGO, June l, 6:15 p. m.-The re-
port concerning the deposition of Cam
eron from the Craftsmanship of the
national committee has proved
canard. The meeting of the
committee was entirely harmonI-
Gus. Cameron remains chairman,
but agrees to let the unit rule
be set aside. He was not disposed per
sonally TO yield the point, but was stren-
uously urged TO it by Conkling and
other Grant managers, who say il will
not materially affect Grant one way or
the other.
The feeling between the Grant and
Blaine advocates is growing in intensity,
and the belief prevails with many OBJ
servers of the contest that. ii Grant is
beaten Blaine will also be slaughtered.
Sherman's chances are thought to be
looking up to-day il being understood
that the Edmunds strength will be turn
ed over 10 him at the start There
is more of disposition on the part
OF the Grant managers to con-
of the party, and the emphatic
demonstrations against the enforcement
of the gag law has not been without its
salutsry effect
