CHICAGO, May 29.-Delegates who are. ar
riving from the South are amazed at the
the Northwestern States and in the city of
Chicago to the nomination of Gen. Grant.
They expected, as they had been led to ex-
pect, that the sentiment would be almost
unanimous for the ex-President. Candid
and unprejudiced Southerners readily admit
that it is building a house upon the sand to
calculate upon carrying any Southern State
for any Republican, Gen. Grant or any other
man. They are beginning to see the neces.
sisy OF putting up q candidate acceptable to
she North. Many delegates, not only from
the South but from the East
and West, who were favorable
TO General Grant and feel kindly toward
him now, confess that to force him on an
unwilling people would be hazardous ex-
pertinent. This is, perhaps, one reason why
the Grant strength has undoubtedly visibly
weakened during the past few days. Those
who have been working for him are dis
oouraged and their opponents are eIated. It
would indeed be unexpected, but not very
surprising, if the ex-President declined to
entsr the convention as a candidate. The
likelihood of his withdrawal is discussed
even By his admirers.
Baine's friends are feeling encouraged.
The arrival of several hundred stalwart Sons OF
Maine who have Travelled 200 miles to assist
N nominating the plumd knight, has
gwen him q new boom and his shrewd man
3gers will keep N up if they can. They are
claiming to have discovered unlocked for
strength in various quarters, and that the
chances of their candidate are growing daily.
They Sherman managers are playing O
quiet game. They are soft and civil to every
body, and won't do anything to antagonize
other candidates. They love Washburne, then
adore Blaine, then worship Grant. While
It is not probable that many Sherman votes
will go to Grant it is stated
that when the. breakup comes
n the convention, if ever it does,
much OF the Grant strength will rally
around the secretary, and perhaps nominate
him. The Sherman people are especially
anxious to keep on the right side of Senator
Cameron, believing that Sherman is his
second choice, and that Pennsylvania may
turn the battle in Sherman's favor, and start
him on the road to the White House.
The temporary craftsmanship continues to
be the topic OF discussion, and very inter
esEing one. If Mr.. Cameron undertakes to
bundoze the committee he may be removed
and another chairman elected.
The anti-Grant memb RS of the National
Republican committee had a caucus last
night, at which they discussed the
proposal to depose Senator Cameron from
che Craftsmanship. The Sherman interest
was opposed to such steps. However it Is
understood that resolution was passed that
ne should be instructed not to recognize the
unit rule IN voting on temporary organiza-
ti0n of the convention. It was said this
morning that a number Of the members of
the national committee called on Don Cam
eTon to-day, spoke very plainly to him and
gave him to understand that he was the SER
want of the committee and not its dictator.
The meeting was kept under cover, those who
participated not caring to have it given
publicity.
E Ex-Gov. Dennison of Ohio, manager of
The Sherman forces, says there is
no truth whatever IN the statement that
an alliance has been effected between the
Blalne men and ourselves. There has not
been any, and there will not be, you can put
that 2s strongly as you please. We are for
Mr. Sherman and We have no second choice
and no entangling alliances.
FFed Douglass appeared at the Palmer
house this forenoon. He is outspoken for
Grant. Hesays Grant is certain to get the
nomination, and when nominated is just as
certain Of an election. There isn't the
slightest question about it. I do not speak
SO positively FOR my own personal convic-
tIons alone but from a thorough acouaint-
ance and knowledge of the general feeling
and leaning of the country. You will find 1
bm correct in saying this.

ing next Monday evening in Dearborn park.

Matt. Carpenter, Don Cameron, John Logan,
