CHICAGO, June 5.--It IL reported that the
B aine managers have resolved TO endeavor
sued by the Arthur aud EImunts mansg.
ers and push matters 10 concluslon.
While fighting stoutly in committees they
will content themselves with that and not
invite resistance in open convention. This
seems 10 be their plan. They also hope to
defeat the independents by inducing
Arthur mer who are opposed TO dark
horse TO come to Bla,ne on some late ballot.
Colonel n A. Z. Reed, cf Csntralia SEN
hnel. said to u representative o. the Asso-
cia,ce Press, this morning: "All this talk
about General Sherman not being cendi'

Colonel Dayton SAID: 81 knew
that General Sherman had never penned
any such dispatch as IL was rnm red
he had done, saying that he won Il not
serve as resident OF the United S;stss even
though ne was nominated. Tho pos,iionis

highest houors vhich can be bestowed uu'
on any man by tAe American people. He

iong as Jonn SHERMAN wss In the field, or
rather uu.il he had reached his ambilion
his brother, the general, would not allow
even by implication his name TO be used or
whispered. Now 10 was certain that John
