Bpeciat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Pimnanevruta, Pa,, Feb, 2,—Don Cameron hns always been confident of his ability to win whenever he choso to show his band. During the alleged Blaine boom in Pennsylvania, and tho reported decline of the Grant ware, ho kept his peace, Iie went to Harrlaburg Thursday to remain untit after the Convention, and in two days he convinced everybody that ho was mnster of tho Republicun party in this State. Saturday Allegheny County instructed her elghteon dele- gates for Grant, and the samo day Dauphin County, in whick Harrisburg is situated, in- structed four delegntcs tho santo way. Forty+ five of tho forty-six Philadolphia delegates have been gained oyerto Cameron. This gives him sixty-seven to start with. He has bealdes stragglers in nearly avery county, and nearly all thouninstructed delegates aro bis men. Tho Blaine men hero frooly admit to-night that Cam- eron will control tha Convention and do what- over ho likes with it. Col. McClure, of the Times, says tho vote will bo about 150 for Cameron to 100 for the opposition of all Kinds. Mr. Edward ‘MePhorson, of the Preaa, an original Blaino man, looks for about the same result, PUTTING THE NLAINE VOTE only as high a3 19 at the outalde. Bixty to fitty~ -fiva delegates have beon jnstruated for: Diaine, and thirty or forty othors have been elected by conventions that passed resolutions favorable to Blaine, but refused ‘to instruct. Tho misetlct has been caused by the treachery of tho Phil dolphin delegation, Though composed oxch sively of mon opposed to Grant, and represent- ing a city said to bo entirely hostllo to the third term, tho delegation was won over by tho artful persunsions of Cameron, who appealed to thom on personal grounds, and sald o failure to carry tho State for. Grant would ho fn personal mortification for him and a triumph forbls enemics. Theso able arguments pre- vailed, and Philadelphia is now understood to bo under the Camcronion thumb. All that remains to bo considered is what Cameron will do with the Conyontion now ho has got it. His own County Convention has adopted a resolution fa- vorlog asolid voto for Grant, and tho unit rute, ‘This is supposed to be tho program ho will force Unless somo unforeseen contingency occurs, be will do whatever bo on the Convention, ‘TERR ANZ INDICATIONS, howovor, thitt the rulo of tho machino will not bo quietly submitted to by all factions of tho purty. Someof the leading monof Philadel- phia have issued an address to the delegates to the Convention at Harrisburg, In which tho fore mutton of an {ndupendent . party in this tate, liko that in New York, {% foreshndowed under cortain contingoncies. The signera of tho address. say: “Tho Itepublican party represonts in great part tho intelligence, tho conscience, and tho thrift of the Amorican people.
