The Cbairmansbin Question.

It cropped out during the day that a careful
canvass of the national committee had been made
with view to feeling the pulse as to Senator
Culloms chances for the temporary chairman
ship of the convention. Several local politicians
were in receipt of inquiries from Washington,
which was the first hint some of them had that
the matter was under consideration. 1t was
stated that the whole Illinois delegation would
recommend Cullom to the national committee,
and that he was acceptable to both the Arthur
and the Logan men, while Blaines followers
would also accept him The fact that Senator
Cullom comes from State with a candidate
which has also been given the convention was
urged as strong reason why he could not eX-
peet the honor, and his friends in the city, from
the tenor Of the responses received were not
hopeful.
There was more talk yesterday of Ben Harri-
son than any one else, and the politicians who
are on the ground thought that his chances were
not of the poorest 1t was said that by making
Harrison chairman of the convention dark
horse would be tagged at the start, which would
be agreeable to all the leading candidates, as
well as the Indiana supporters of Gresham who
are working at cross purposes with the Harrison
men, Little however, is known of the real
preferences of the national committeeman, ard
until they get together the latter part of the
week there will be more speculation than knowl-
edge. The only definite expression OF opinion
has been from several Western committeeman to
the effect that they wanted some one from west
of the Alleghenes for chairman.

The minority report on the Copiah investiga-
ton dissents entirely from the statements and
conclusions contained in the report of the ma
iority, and presents their own view of affairs,
formed from the testimony Of reputable and
creditahle witnesses examined by the committee.
They express the opinion that the investigation
was originated and conducted for the purpose of
aiding the Republicans in the approaching pres
idential canvass, by reviving the stories of out
rage and crime which were so effectually used in
former political campaigns, and perhaps to fur
nish excuse, if necessary, for rejecting the
vote of Mississippi in the ELECTORAL college, and
thereby defeating, done IN 1876 the clear
ly expressed will of the American people in the
choice of President.

Grand Lodge of Good Templars.

WASHINGTON, May 2Z-The Right Worthy
Grand Lodge of Good Templars convened here
to-day, for its thirtieth annual session, with four
hundred delegates in attendance representing
Canada, India, Prince Edwards Island and every
State in the Union The Right Worthy Grand
Templar, George B. Katzenstein, Of Sacramento,
presided, and read his annual report, which
states that the evidence of progress in the drec-
ton of legislative prohibition, the past year. has
been marked and encouraging. The report de-
clares that unless one both of the great polit-
ical parties declare unequivocally for temper
ance the temperance people will support pro
hibition candidate, to be nominated at a conven-
ton to be held in PittsburS July %. The re
port of the Grand Secretary shows the organiza-
ton to be in most fourishing condition in ev-
cry respect.

Arrival of the First Boom.

The first genuine boom was brought in yes
terday afternoon from New York, by David
Allerton, secretary of the Republican confer
ence committee. This committee was ap-
pointed by the independent Republicans of
New York, and is headed by Gen. Francis C.
Barlow George William Curtis, Theodore
Roosevelt, Andrew D. White and others are in
cluded in the organization. Their mission is to
make vigorous fight for Senator Edmunds,
who has been selected as the personal embodi-
ment of their views and in his interest the at
tacks upon Blaine, Arthur and Logan will be
uneeasing. Blaine is the object of the fercest
attacks Secretary Allerton is armed with
large quantity of documents to prove that
Blaine and Arthur cannot carry New York. He
claims that Edmunds has sixteen. votes in New
York, and that those from Massachusetts, and
other States viii give him following of ninety
delegates; but admits that Arthur will obtain
the votes of some of those claimed for Edmunds
when they vote for second choice. The head
quarters of the Edmunds boomers will be
opened at cIub-room A of the Grand Pacific
Hotel IN a day Large delegations are ex-
pected to arrive about Saturday, to work for the
Vermont senator.

will not leave here until next Saturday morning,
as he is booked for a speech on Decoration Day.
The Post of to-day has a long article going to
show Sherman's availability. 1t closes, abiding
to the last convention, by saying:
'The man who started in with thirty-four of the
forty four delegates from Ohio and bore his
with dignity under circumstances that would have
driven smaller into rebeltous indiscretions,
should be assured of at least the complimentary vote of
the full delegation when the first ballot is taken at the
coming June convention. He is able
compromising Republican. and profound fnaneier. Com
pared with such man, dark horses like the Lin
coins Hawleys and Harrisons, and others of that k
fade into puny nsiguideaIee. Even Edmunds, for
availability is nowhere in the presence of the great
visiting statesman With Blaine and Arthur off the
track, the duty of Republican Ohio is clear"
The Ohio delegation is just now the subject of
interest If the strength Blaine has in Ohio is
held by Sherman for few ballots, it will by
that time be demonstrated whether the leaders
are to be distaneed in the race. If Ohio stands
for Sherman solid the hope is, and by many it is
the fixed belief, that he will be nominated-not
with a whirl, but with deliberations not as a gust
candidate, but as candidate who presents more
favorable claims for successful campaign than
any of the others in the field He viii be an
tagonized more by the Arthur than the Blaine
forces

CONVENTION GOSSIP.
Accommodations for the Prostitutes for Dis
tribution of Tickets.

ColIated from Chicago Papers,
One Of the subjects under discussion is the ar
rangement of the seats for the accommodation Of
the press. Whether they will be placed upon a
platform or allowed to remain upon the floor on
a level with the delegates, will be decided to-
morrow. 1t was said to-day that it was prob
able that 800 seats would be given to members
of the press. with tables, and 300 without tables
The delegates will have seats on the ground
floor, just in front of the correspondents, and
the subscribers to the quarterly fund viii sit be-
hind them Visitors will occupy the galleries
and raised seats behind the subscribers.
One question that has given contesting dele
gates good deal of trouble is to find out how
the tickets belonging to their districts will be dis
trfbuted. General Clayton and Colonel
Martin said to-day that the national com
mittee would determine first what dele
gates have the primafacie right to seats
and that the members of the committee
would be instructed to distribute the tickets
among those who were found to be entitled to
them. Under this rule Barton c. Cook, Logans
proxy, not give the Second district tickets to
the Logan delegates unless the committee so
ordered. Very few delegates have arrived yet
The question as to the identity of the presiding
officer eXcites general discussion. That will be
the first real battle. The temporary officers will
be selected by the national committee, and will
in all probability be made permanent as they
we're four years ago. Just after Long Jones
arrived home from Washington it was given out
that G. A. Grow. Of Pennsylvania, was to have
that honor, but since then quiet boom has been
worked up for Senator Cullom, of Illinois. This
is denied by Logan's managers, but it is author-
itativey stated that it is true nevertheless, and
considerable amazement is expressed that
Illinois should claim the Craftsmanship in the
face of the fact that she has a candidate for
President before the convention.
