"Our convention will be held earfy-probably in

The delegation will be solid for Grant, on the sup
position that he is TO be a candidate Oar colored
voters are unit for him, and the party leaders all
favor him. If Grants name is not presented at
Chicago the delegation will go for Blaine. Sher-
man will have no support because the South Caro-
lima Republicans identify him with Hayes's admin
istraton, which is not at all popular with U.s."
In answer to n question about the exodus move
ment, Colonel Worthington said
THE feeling has become general among the ne
groes that the best thing they can do is to
leave the south. Large numbers try
