as to their willingness to Join in such
q movement. Some who wera believed to
be favorable to it were spoken to more
plainly. A perfect understanding exists.
it is understood, between Logan and G rant,
The former is t:shtirg as much ior prestige
as for the Presidency. He wants 10 suc.
coed himseli in the Senate, and Lincoln
will be his principle competitor. Itwould
be good thing for him at once to break
Blaine and nominate Grant and remoys
Lincoln from bis path. He will be- pre-
pared to turn over his strength tc Grant
and Lincoln just as soon as he is con.
winged that lie cannot win. This will
be early in the contest. The mana.
gers OF the movement trust TO be ablo 10
concentrate the opposition to Blaine. Now
the most formidable candidate ia Grant.
OF course, the candidate who is most likely
to be nominated will have the Southern
vots. But many Ct the Southern delegates
will be Grant men. At all eyents, one
fact is cFrtain-Grant is candidate, and
his friends will do all they can for him. Ii
