CHICAGO, June 6.-The Republican party
has been doing outside work on this holy
Sabbath day in President making. Of
course they couldn't meet in convention,
but they have met around in the hotels q
great deal. can't learn, however, that any
particular change in the situation has oc
CURED. If q ballot had been taken the next
day after TIE cards from the voting mem
bers of the New York and Pennsylvania del
egates were published, Grant would have
been defeated. He may be yet, but his
chances are much better than on Thursday
or Friday last. The Blaine men don't seem
to have sense enough to see that to win they
should have made
SHARP, SHORT AND DECISIVE CAMPAIGN.
They have been claiming all the time that
they wanted to finish up and go home, but
n reality they have been the obstructionists
They controlled the committee on creden-
tials, and that committee took three days to
report. The only thing the Grant men did
done till it was known who the members OF
the convention were. This claim seems
to have been very reasonable, but the Blaine
members of tho committee were so anxious to
STEAL EIGHTEEN VOTES
from Illinois that they delayed the conven:
tiOn three days, and believe that by this de-
lay have missed their man. So outrageous
procedure as the stealing of those eighteen
votes ought to defeat any sort of man guilty
of such an act, and if an over-ruling provi-
dence could be induced to regulate Repub-
lican conventions, then Blaine will knock at
the bottomless pit to- morrow.
GRANT STOCK
about the hotels has been looming up to day.
This is largely due to the amicable presenta-
ton of his name by Conkling, and the abso-
lutely idiotic presentation of Blaine by JOY.
Among visitors, all this has made marked
effect, but I presume neither the
good nor the bad speech has any
perceptible effect on the note. To go to the
Palmer House to-day, you would think Grant
had sure Thing. The Grand Pacific has
been much more quiet, ,and less demonstrative
than on any other day since I have been
here. In fact, a
SMALL ARMY OF POLITICAL BUMMERs
have run out of money, and been obliged to
get home. The crowds are perceptibly di
minished. There are less brass bands and
less cheering and quarreling at the hotels
than for many days. The Blaine and Sher
man men were imported by the hundreds fol
outside effect, but it is getting down to bust
ness now, and the candidatesor their hackers
don't care to keep the bummers about any
longer. They have accordingly thrown then
away liks squeezedI "a lemon.
JAY GOULD
don't believe in wasting money on his can
didate, and Sherman is such thrifty cus
that he will sit in crowded railway coacl
all day rather than pay dollar extra for 1
parlor Car. This accounts for the less noise
from the Blaine and Sherman gangs. Th,
GREAT TOPIC OF THE DAY
has been Conkling's speech presenting
Grant. All agree that it was a splendic
effort; but the Blaine men think it wa
very bad taste for him to have the telegraph
wires running from the convention to hi
(Blaine's) house, and the indirect allusion Il
the Mulligan letters when he spoke of de
fensive campaign. 1t has made profount
impression, and the Grant men are very con
fdent tonight, more confident than tn
Blaine men. Still the Blaine men CLAIM
that they see victory. 1t seems pretty Ger
tain that after one or two ballots Sherman
will commence to weaken, and by the thirt
ballot will cease to be a candidate. Th
Ohio delegation is more likely to go t.
Blaine than Grant, and if it does it will be
bio boom for Blaine.
