Vice Presidents Chamber Washington June 16.
Yours 18th at hand 1t does make difference
VINO is nominated in my Judgment The candidates will
cut but small figure in the fight We elect anybody
OF we shall fall The least conspicuous and therefore the
least complicated will be the best somebody like
hayes in 1876 Among all the men named there is not
one leader whose personal historical relation
to the people would difference OF LOCO votes
canvass Sherman Allison. Harrison. each records
that would be awkward the tariff, the currency thu
Ohnese question, ETC. Depew's connection with railroads
ard corporations would be heavy load especially in the
agricultural States We might well nominate Gould
or vanderbilt at once. Ny impression is
mat Alger or Gresham come filling
the bill than any Of the others, with some
FELLOW like Phelps Of New-Jersey who could reach tho
conservative forces Of the East and get contributions from
the manufacturers and Wall Street you judge
much better than what is best after consulting with the
aeegates have the Of the wires during the Con-
Venon by the courtesy Of the company, and you
therefore, telegraph me fully at all times anything OF
Interest transDires. Truly yours JOHN j. INGALLS,
The Alger clubs serenaded Mrs John A. Logan at
the residence Of George NJ Pullman last evening.
three Ddn0S proceeded 10 the
Pullman residence to testify their appreciation of the
efforts Mrs Logan had made in behalf of their cand
date. Only one member of the club remained at
home and he couldn't be induced to join the pro-
cession.
No, sir,' he said, emphatically. "f General
Ager can't win without calling upon the ghost OF
John A Logan and putting his widow in equvocal
political position, he deserves to be beaten do not
take any stock in such work and Pm member of
the Michigan Club7
John B. Drake proprietor Of the Grand Pacific,
estimates that there were over 200 900 strangers in
the city yesterday. Potter Palmer made the same
estimate. Herbert NJ. Kinsley figures the crowd at
11oOOO, but Rector the resaurateur put the number
at 100000 1t is the universal opinion that Chicago
never had so many visitors have thronged here
from every quarter of the earth this week.
The Alabama, Maryland and south Carolina dele-
cations, all Of which are quartered at the Sherman
House, have been besleged by workers from the
camps Of the other candidates since they arrived
In the city. The Alger men have been particularly
Jealous in their labors, and If any colored delegates
escaped their hands they must have been second
Willie" TascOtt The impression seems TO prevail
that the colored men arc more tractable than their
white brethren and hence the efforts capture their
votes are untiring
These fellows evidently think we're fools or
knaves,7 said +. W. Meyers, Of the South Carolina
crows around a carrion, and seem intent upon get
ting in their bills somewhere. Our men may need
money but they no more purchasabe than any
other, and l guess they know enough TO cast their
ballots, too. Because happens to have been
born in the South because he happened to have no
particular candidate is sign that he be bought
Senator ". W. Braman, of Albany, says Chicago
will never have another Republican National Con-
vention if NewYork can prevent it. We did not
know Illinois had candidate never would
have come TO Chicago. 1t is an outrage that de-
Lucrative body should be handicapped as this one
has been here The Convention has been packed with
claquers for a certain candidate. We have been
treated dscourtecsuly by the men in charge and the
very of the party has been ieopardZed. New
York naturally kindly disposed toward any man
who was In Chester A Arthur's Cabinet. But we
came here knowing that Gresham political
imposslbllity in New York, made so by The New
York POST The New-York Tines Harp
er's Weekly and The Chicago Tribune still,
we find the Convention hall packed by his hackers,
employing efforts TO hinder all other candidates, and
last night found stump-speech foised upon US in the
Convention"
One Of the striking features Of the Gresham parade

surprising inscription: Vote for Judge Gresham,

they made terrific noise. Two rather observant |
newsboys watching the procession with eager In

he charged Us $50, but he said t was IN the line OF

Senator Hoar Of Massachusetts,, lingering
about the corridors of the Leland Hotel this morning
