CHICAGO, May 20.-The Grant men are hard at
work to break certain Northern delegations which
are made of diverse elements. The Indiana delega-
tion, for example which has been divided between
Blaine and Sherman in the proportion of twenty
eight to two but which was expected to be solid
for Blaine, has been the object of q strenuous
Grant attack. Six votes out of the thirty are
claimed for Grant on the first ballot There is no
question that several of the delegation disposed
to vote for Grant, but heavy pressure has been
brought to bear upon them by their colleagues who
remind them that the sentiment of the Republican
party in Indiana is Overwhelmingly in Mr. Blaine's
favor, and that it will be taking q great risk to
nullfy it. 1t is impossible to say what the outcome
will be, but the claim noted above was made by
John C. New to-day with great postiveness The
Grant party have hopes also, of making inroads
upon the Wisconsin delegation, where only one
delegate out Of twenty has heretofore been con-
ceded to Grant. No details are to be had here,
however.
The Grant leaders are looking for losses should the
unit rule be broken, which they have not been dis
posed to admit before now, and prominent Grant
manager admitted to-day that If the unit rule
should be broken One-half the sixteen votes of
Texas now confidently claimed for Grant, would go
to Sherman, and that there would be like break In
the florida delegation. The Ohio delegation will
not, according to present appearances, be unani-
nous for Secretary Sherman even on the first bal
lot six votes for Blaine are now positively claimed
thereon. The districts named are the With, the
With, and the XIXth, al Of which instructed for
Blaine.
There is a good deal of laughter about town
about a story of an encounter between Senator
Cameron and Mr. Asa. president of the Exposition
Building Company. When Senator Cameron was
confronted with the refusal of the company to allow
the building to be used for the Grant mass-meeting
or any massmeeting Ihe seems to have supposed
that every ball. like every man, must have price.
So Inc asked after the manner OF the American mill
ionaire IN Paris who wanted to buy the Arc de
TriOmphe: How much will it cost to have this
meeting hcre~ Mr.. Asa spoke up little tiercely,
and told Mr. Cameron that he was not on the soil
of Pennsylvania but of Illinois, sand that some
things here were not for sale.

day noon, Senator Cameron acts the role
rule shall apply to all preliminary
votes as well as to votes for candidates,
then 1t is part of the suggestion under
consideration that the anti Grant people shall appeal
from the decision of the chairman, set forth
in speeches their grievances, and so man.
age that the appeal shall not be
voted upon at the first session OF
the Convention. The National Committee is
then to hold its adjourned meeting in the
evening, and summarly depose Senator Cameron
from the position he will have proved himself un-
worthy to fill.
1t is the hope Of those who have devised
this plan that if o recess of the Com
mittee is taken from Monday to Wednesday
evening, the purpose Of the majority to
resort to heroic treatment will have been made so
apparent that Senator Cameron will abandon his
plan for of more fairness and less personal peril
1t is not possible to say the plans of either faction
amount as vet. to anything more than suggestion,
which may be acted upon or may be abandoned
before the decisive moment arrive.
The leaders of the movement in behalf Of Secre-
tary Sherman now announce, with some emphasis,
their determination to act with the Blaine forces,
and with all others who may be like minded in Oppo-
sion to the unit rule. General Logan who for some
purpose called upon Governor Dennsou last night,
and made inquiry in regard to the matter, was in
formed to that effect by the Ex-Governor.
" But" said General Logan, suppose such action
results in breaking up the Convention ~
Even then" replied Governor Dennson, in
effect, the unit rule must be abandoned"

lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUNE
CHICAGO, May 20-Midnight.-A good iIlnstra-
tratIon Of the feeling among the antGrant
men now in CblcagO, and their determination
not to have a thirI-tcrm candidate forced
upon the party by unfair means. or
by n disregard for precedents, was given
to-day by n meeting Of twenty-four members
OF the National Committee, at which
n resolution was unanimously adopted
that Senator Cameron should be deposed
from the craftsmanship Of the committee,
if he WAS not dRpostd TO represent ITS views in what
he does in the Convention At least half dozen
other members not present to-day are known to be
Of the same opinion.
The latest plan to ensure fair play IN the
preliminary proceedings OF the Convention is for the
National Committee to select some other member
than its chairman TO call tho Convention to order
In doing tEis the Committee would be following
parliamentary prccedents. In Congress. when the
chairman OF a committee does not agree to n report
or resolution adopted by q majority of his
associates he never presents that report or resou
ton, but it is placed in charge of some other MEM
Der.
Il NAV now I've considered settled be-
yond all question that in any event
Mr. Cameron will not be allowed to carry
out the Grant programme of enforcing the
unit rule in the preliminary proceedings of the
Convention and it now seems hardly probable that
he will call the Convention to order at all
1t now turns out that even the Grant men have
not had the greatest confidence in Mr.
Camerons ability to carry into effect
the programme that they had laid down.
The management OF the National Convention next
week will bo no ensy task even for q presiding
officer who IS in accord with the majority.

lBT TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEE.I
CHICAGO, May 20.-There Is now under consldera-
tion by some of the anti-Grant people, n sug-
gestion which, II adopted, will probably compel
Senator Cameron and his associate Grant men TO
abandon ther plan for securing the temporary
chairmanship of the Convention, in def
ance Of the will Of majority of
the National Committee, with whom, according
TO all precedents, the designation Of the temporary
chairman rests. and equally in defiance of ma
jority of the Convention.
The third-term plan, it will be remembered, Is
that Senator Cameron, after calling tho
Convention to order, shall then namo for temporary
chairman the person who shall have been
selected by the committee, thefeupon some
Grant delegate is to move TO sub
stitute the name Of q prominent Grant
man, and Senator Cameron Is TO rule that tho Con-
vention, in voting upon this question, shall observe
the unit rule, voting by State.
The suggestion which Is now made 10
that tho National Committee, when It
shall have finished its work on ncxt
Monday night, shall take q recess till
after the meeting Of tho Conven-
ton on Wednesday. instead Of adiOuninG
as usual, subject to the call of the chairman. The
