GRANT GAINING.
ABOUT DARK HORSES.
Special To The Star.


CHICAGO, JUNE s. 1880.
There is the Calm Of Exhaustion
In the convention this morning. The situation
seems to be about this:
The first ballot will be taken towards evening.
1t may be followed by two or three, and If there
is then no choice, an adjournment till Monday
will probably follow.
1t is claimed on each side that the great
struggle OF last night puts Grant and Blaine to
the front, and rules out the dark horse.
What the Grant Men Claim.
The Grant men say that their success is as
sured In the fact that every southern delegate
finally Will vote for Grant as the only man who
can give them security enough to insure re-
publican party in the South. Then they add
that part of the Ohio vote and all the MaSSa-
chusetts vote will 60 to Grant, and this Will
nominate him.
What the Blaine Men Claim.
The Blaine men claim that they have gained
In the last twenty-four hours, and that Blaine
is the second choice Of enough men to nominate
him. But in the face Of this they do not deny
that eighteen of the leading Sherman delega-
lions from South and North Carolina will 20 to
Grant, which will turn the tide to him.
Unblanketlng the Dark Horse.
The republicans who do not believe either
can be elected, are working earnestly for a dark
horse, and Garfield and Hawley are talked OF as
ticket Edmunds is still favorably regarded.

Peace at Last.
Doubtless the disorder would have lasted all

sagacity proposed three cheers for the victorious
candidate. This parting volley of sounds
seemed to satisfy the frenZied aSSemblage, and
MIR. Storrs concluded his speech In careful SEN
fences, fearful that he might create another
scene like the one which he had so ably sue
ceeded In producing. There never was, and
never will be such another spectacle. In fact
the scene put Grant and Blaine in nomination,
and the speeches after this Will be tame in COM

Col. AYDELoTTE AND MRS. PoLK.-Testimony
in the Aydelotte case at Snow Hill, Nd, ended
Wednesday night. The case, by consent or

court, who held IL under adv1sement until Thurs

In delivering the opinion OF the court said that
there had been some conflicting testimony upon
both sides, that the characters OF neither the
accused or the accusing parties had been sue
ceSSfully impeached, and that In such cases the
court could only be guided by the general rule
OF law, that where there was the least doubt
the defendant must be entitled to the benefit OF

verdict OF mot guilty." It is intimated that

CHICAGO, June 5.
The convention was opened to- day with prayer
by Rev. DR.. Paxton, of washington, ID. Z. He
prayed that Divine Providence might shape the

The convention then requested railroad CON-
panies to extend the time for return tickets

How the District Votes.
On the contested seats question the District of
columbia delegates voted one vote aye and one
vote no.
The Peoples Voice.
The convention up to three p. m. had recog-
nized district instead of state representation I'm

In adopting the report from the committee
on rules the unit rule was abolished.
"Sllence like POultice Comes, 10

The convention has been very quiet all the
afternoon. There has been little or no applause
in any quarter.
A Sign and a Sensation.
In the West Virginia contest, on the question
Of seating two contestants who are Sherman
men, some OF the Blaine delegations broke up
and voted for the contestants, who were admit
ted. This Is the first vote indicating break
up and shows over 400 votes that can cover
Grant or Sherman. The result created a pro-

The Grant Men Badly Defeated.

other business. After spirited debate tU was
