ssTEIJ, THE MAINE REPUBLICANS
TO BE OF GOOD CHEER"

Especial Despatch to the kennebec Journal
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 2, 1880. The Ma
tional republican convention began its ses-
sion to-day at l o'clock. The vast EXPOSE
ton building was crowded to suffocation. 1t
is estimated that IL. 900 persons were present
in the hall. Cameron called the meeting to
order; Senator Hoar was elected temporary
chairman. The Blaine men have won their
first victory in the case of Utah. The en-
thusiasm for the ''plumed knight" in Chicago
il immense. The warm-hearted Westerners
are for Blaine first, last and for all time. If
nominated he will sweep the country like .
tidal wave. Logan deprecates boiling, and
says if Blaine beats Grant fairly and squarely,
he will be among the first to take the stump
for him. Chicago has given US royal
welcome. Governor Davis il quite hero
out here. He is pointed out As the counted
out governor. 1t is reported that washburne
will accept the second place on the Blaine
ticket. Blaine and Washburne would make
. ticket that would be irresistible. BY the
v.x. both of these men we're formerly con-
nected with the Kennebec Journal. Tell the
Augusta republicans to be of good cheer.

day As possible compromise.
In the Grant caucus tonight . shorthand
reporter was present during the speeches Of
Boutwell, and Conkling. The former declared
they had from S25 to $50 votes on the
first ballot and that the nomination of
Grant was secure. Conkling said
there was no use of concealing the facts. 1t
vas time now to look the matter sQuarely in
the face; not more than 500 votes were as
sured for Grant on the LIST ballot They
need not count more unless they secured
them hereafter. He advised. however, that
they stand together through the LIST, end. and
10th ballot. if necessary; not 10 yield, and
they would eventually worry out their oppo-
nenis and win. They would neither offer or
accept compromise. Breaks would come
from other candidates, and then they would
gain by it.
A committee of one from each State was
appointed to visit various State delegates
and report progress tomorrow morning. At
this part of the proceedings the reporter was
somewhat summarily removed from the
meeting.
