Wasitnaton, D.C, Feb, 6.—Tho Hurrleburg’ Convention hus formed the main subject of con- versation on all sides to-day, Muny who wero Present orriyed this afternoon, and tholr re- Ports wero cagorly sought. Tho Cameron men are only sutlsfied that before tho country thoy havo scoured tho somblanco of yietory. Thoy ‘ are, however, exceedingly surprised ut thostrong manifestation of opposition to Grant, and thoy Gro at the aume tine bitter toward tho Wuinc clomont that was prominent nimong the intlu- encos that so neurly secured the emphat- vic dofont of the: whole Cameron force. AM reporta agree that the voto In- structing for Grant was Iargely made up of Binine mon, though the other candidates hud somo friends nmoug the opposition. still, the controlling sentiment of the whole body of those protesting against Instructing the dclega- tion was positive and undisguised bostility to Grant. Oncof the most competent observers of Ponnsytvanin politica) gathorings, and one who has held tho highest pollticul positions In both Houses of its Legisinture for several terms, do- clurog that no one fumilliar with a State Conven- don could fall to recognize tho fuct that the peo plo who sent the present delegates were strongly OPPOSED TO A RENOMINATION OF GIANT, and tht thoy were in tho maln in fuyor of Sen- ator Blaine, There is 8 gencral agreement that thore was no real enthusiasm for Grant oven along those who voted with theCamerons, With a large number of these tho iden whioh was up- permost wns to win a victory for Don Cameron, who was their political master or leador. It is reported as ono of the most significant things connected with tha Convention that oven ‘the Cumoron men did not attempt to make the namo of Grant prominont in the goseral caucus tho night before the Conyontion; no° CGuneron man alluded to Grant, nor did any of them bring out bis namo in the Convention until tho resolutions of Mr. Herr, which caused so much commotion, were road, On tho othor hnnd, overy expression of opposition to Grant, whether direct or in tho form of objection to dnstructing tho delegutlon to Chicago, was roundly und genorally upplaudod. ‘The Cameron men acted throughout a8 men who Were ina desperate situation, and who felt suro of wine ning only through their abiilty to manipulate delegates and holed them for a final voto, SENATOR OAMEV ON AND Hd ATATE ASSISTANTS had so ful ly c smmitted thomselves to carrying tho Convention for Grant thut fallure would bo nothing lesa than disastrous defeat to his power in tho State for tho coming campaign. The of- forts put forth’ toward tho laat ware, thore- fore, tho salvation of tho Camoron olan as the main idca,’and success for Grant only an necom- punying incldont. ‘Tho onthuslasin of tho Con- yontion was confined to the antl-Grant men. They checred al antl-third-term Ideas and all oriticiams of the scanduls of Grant's time to tho echo, and, not content with this, thoy hissed and groaned over the samo subjects till somo of the antl-Grant mon thomsclyes thought the manifestations of opposition to Grant were boing curried furthor than waa noce essury or wise. Tho only orgunized foroo at the Convention was tho Camoron faction. That was a compact body, dotng Cameron's bidding with- out quvation. The opposition to him was not orgunizod. If it had been, thoso most compo- tent to judge say ho could have buen dofeated, Aa it was, without organization against him, ho was ouly able to muster a force which a change of leven votes would have overcome. Cam~ eron's own frionds declare that he was WAI MORE CONCERNED YOR HIMSELF than for Grant, and that, in fact, i¢ became pere fuotly apparont that: hia offerte as Chalrman of the Republican Committee are all directed to- ward sgcurlng dictation and control for himsclt ag the very firat conalileration, to which tho question of a candidate will from first to last be secondary, ? Itiaa siogular fact that in the Houso of Rop-- “resontatives thoro aro quite ag many, {if not Diore, Demoorats who doslre to sco Gon. Grant nominated than thore aro Republicana who foel the samo way. Tho Domocrats appear to be governed by two main considorations in tholr preference, A good inany of thoin who bellevo that tho Hopublicuns will elect their candidate prefer Gon. Grant to any other Republicun; but by fur tho greutor proportion of Domoorata want Gen, Grunt nominated bocuuso thoy bo- Neve he would bo an casy man to boat, ALL OF THE DEMOCnATS appear to regrot that Gon, Grant's indoraement by tho Ponnsylvania Convention was won by so nicagro & majority, because they interpret It to mcan that he hus but a slim chance to win tho nomination at Chicago, A proilnent Democrat froin the Interior of Pennsylvania sald thie morn. fog: The result ahows that, whilo the Conyen- tion wad for Grant, the puople ure for Blaine, In my county (Centro) tho County Convention did not instruct the delogates to the Htate Conven- ton in favor of Blaine, but they did adopt, by an overwhelming majority, a rogolution expreas- * ‘Sng. tholr preferunpw for hin asa candidavé.. ‘Tho two delogates wont to Harrisburg and voted | with Caméron See teres at 1 Congrvasman far, of Pennsylyanio, said:i «Td -uok tatu Biatoy's fe Fousan, to fect disappotate BE tio rosie a ok ape os onit as @ defeut.

Grant was 80 eliin, Ho suid: “Wo will be satiafled with Grant; we want Grant." Mr. Whitthorne bs ono of thore who bolieve that . Grint will bon wouk candidate for tha Hepube jeans, rae oh Othor Democrats expressed thomselves to tho sane effect. A lending New York Congressman, who desired that hia naine should not be used, auld that ho looked upon tho action of the Wa vention asa virtual defext for Grunt. “ If," said he, * Gen, Grant's frlend® could carry. the duy in oumayiviinin only ly a mijarity of twen- fyi after ull tho cnutgy and influence ‘thnt have been used In his-trebalf, how enn they expect to succeed in other States where such ‘energy and influence are wanting?” Frye, of Maine, sald that ho was surprised Mr, F at tho STRENGTH DEVELOPED RY Mit. HUAINE'S friends in the Convention. We had not expected it In view of the great efforts made by Senntor Coineron, and of the fact that Eenator [laine's friends had not sought to bind delegates by It- structions in his favor. Mr. Willetts, of Michigan, suld:, 1 do not think ft 14.0 Grant boomy {twas tooclose, Grant will not bo nominated unless the honor comes to him without the asking, ns [t did in 1863 and 1872, He will never necept ft if the nomination Is forced by the muchine, as it was in Pennsylvania. yesterday, I xny this not as un opporient of Urnnt, ‘but aiinply as an outsider, a looker-on.” Mr. ‘Townsend, of Obio, tho Cleveland Repre- sentative, remarked: “1 can only say that the result In Pennsylyanta doesn’t luok to me to be favorable to Grant,” : ir. Valentine, of Nebraska: ‘My State is for Grant, ean at, leust say, and Mulne for sevond choice, I don't belleve, however, that Grant: will accept a nomination which {sto be strugg}ed for. Itmay bo that the Pennsylvanin ere ment iy help Blaine, who waa 1 formidable gevond,” ‘Mr. Kelfer, of Ohlo: “fda not think tho re- sult at Uinrrisburg ut all favorable to Grant; there was entirely TOO ster waActinE work and too little spontaneity. Ithns been sald by Granta friends over and over fyaln that he would not accept the place unless fit cume to him unasked, From what I know of Grunt TI bettove this ig true, and donot belleve he will accept a nomination he hus to Nght for.

Gen, NeCuok, of New Yurk: “ldo not want tosny unything about it. I suspect, however, ‘that w York will follow sult." Mr. Morrison, when asked for his plato. eald: “I supposo Grant wants to be nominated, don't hes" MM, MAYES, OF I1%.1NOIB, auld: “I do not think tho Pennsylvania in- strnetion for Grant le to. bo interpreted as fa- yorablu to him. Jt was simply a triumph for tho Cumeron ring, The Blaine strength fs very largo, but it docsn't follow that bo will make # foriniduble showing." Mr. Deering, of lowa: ‘If tho decision of tho’ Harrisburg Convention to instruct for Grant should lve any olfect upon the subsce quent State Convontions, or any — influe ence In determining the question of cane didacy umong the Republican party at Chicago, that fniluence will bo adyerao to thoso who bid sought to force, ns} think unwisely, an. expres- alon ut this tine. Tho effect of that movemont is Ukely to be reactionary upon the enndidates whose iutercats were sought te he advanced.” Mr. 81 Re oF Towa: “think the Conveution was called early on pnrpose to manufacture eapltal for Grant. ‘Pho ae fnpression hore iy thut tho effort bas falod; that tho result will inevitubly be to cheek .the Grant boom, Tho troubte 14, It was too evidently 4 worked-up affuir;’ thery was no onthuatiam;’ it was not tho yoico of the people, it was the machine work of aenolitieat ving.

It means that Blaine is very strong,—ao strong that he will be tho unanimous choice on tho second bullot, Ihuve no choice myselt, 1 only want niman nominnted who will win.’ Mr, Rved, of Muine: “Really, I don't want to say anything about it, representing, as I do, Mr. Bfaine's Stuto.” Mr, Aldrich, of Ii inola; “I think it very prob- able that the Chid ie Cuneeridan wil noninate Grant. Ido not think tho Pennsylvanin Conven= lon settled anything ug to tinal results,” Mr, Culking, of Indlanu: “I do not think the result ut all favorable to Grant. If in tho State which {8 tho home of « member of Grant's Cabluet and tho home of his son, who ta the de- voted henchman of Grant, both of whom have cracked the whip of tho ringmaster round tho legs of reealeitrint lepublicnns, no better ad can bo mado for Grant than a bare ma- jority, THERE 18 NO NOOM IN IT, Tt shows really that Grant is not nearly Go. none ng Blaine, who has not warked up his cuse at all. 1 tituk Blaine tho coming mun, Indeed, {am Hinino man myself.” Gon. Harry Bingham, from Ponnaylyania, who was a delegite to the Convention, and who ts known to be a strong friend of Hiaino, auld: “It {a tho defeat of Grant. It may not be the vie- tory of Mutno—that Ia another tight; but it la tho dofent of Grant. The voto wis the vote for Grant of Cameron and of tho machine, and Gen, Grunt can never go before the country as tho represontative of tho machine. Cumeron had to save bltigelf,” » Gon, Joo Hawloy sald: * Tt was about a ties it wus ag much w victory for Muino a for Grant.

Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasurxaton, D.C., Feb, 5.—Sonator Blaino's |! friends to-night expresy yrout satisfaction with tho result of the Hurrisburg Conveution, Tho more they roticot upon it tho hotter thoy are pleased with it, They .say it would have boon lo assistanoc'to Mr, Ulaine to have Don Cum: eron stand eponsor for ‘hin before the country, but thut to bo ‘known as Cumoron's candidate must bo a source uf wouknew, Much stress is placed on the ovidont fact that tharo was noth- spontansous in tho Grant. mover ment in‘ Ponnsylvaua, Grant's name wis no holp to Cumoran; on the contrury dt Was a dead «load to garry,, both. before thé pooplo and ‘the Coyyention, Tho | ‘victory wai Cumoron‘s: alone, - aad won on; grounds porgonal to bim; It isa feck that, ow-. ing to the short notice uf the calling pf tho Stato’ “Convention, but twenty woven sountics except.

OF ing Phitudelphia, out ofteixty-foux, hud convaa- | slong, ¢ those twenty-seven countics, twenty-three in- structed their Seligates for Biaino, and the otbor fuur adopted resoffitions favorable to him. Tho Grant strength outside of Philadelphia came exclusively from counties jn which delegates were chosen by the County Comailttee and not by the people, MUCH USYAVORANLE COMMENT is passed on the vingitlar retion of Gen. Harry Ingham, of Philadelphia, iu the Convention. Protending tobe x friend of Binine, he yet dit ‘his best to check tho cause of tho Senator. He nasumed to spenk by uuthority; but there nro excellent reasons for saying that be had no authority whatever, Ho had himacif subatitut- ed inthe placo of one of the Philadelphia dele- gates, and declared that thore was ny aning- oniam between the friends of Senator Hlaino and those of Gen. Grant. some of the Bluine men were much stage gered by this statement coming from 8 supposed friend of Blaine, and all looked for a lotter or telegram announeing the withdrawal of Maine; but Bingham, fortunately, was too diplomntic, and asserted bls friendship for Iifaine, too, after the suspicions of the antl- Cumeroninns were aroused, and finally uw dele- gate asked, Hinghat, puint-bhink, whether he mud any authority to speak for utne. Bingbam was obliged to suy that he bad not, aud so tho scheme was punctured, IT WAS A nOLD MOVE and nearly proved successful. Jt was the more Uunprincipied from the fact that Hing> him had privately telegraphed to Dluine for nuthority to withdraw | his natie, and had received no answer. It ts eald Bing- hatn, who bolted Cameron at Cincinnati, and voted for Inlne, had ginee been weverely pun- ished, und fs now trying to make his peace with ilfg treachery to Blaine wus bls first token of fealty. An episode of tho Convention not anywhere reported was the appearance inthe hull duriig the taking of the votaon the Grant resolution of Gen, Hurry White, to hom Gen, Grant declared ina famotis letter that be would not aain be candidate unless sone unforeseen emergency, not likely to urise, should occur, The contrast, of these bentiments with the spectacle of Don Cameron’s putting through a Grant delegation by machine: power was noteworthy. SOUTITERN DEMOCRATS, TURY MUST HAVE A MARD-MONEY MAN, Special Dispatch to The Chleago Tribune, WAsiINGTON, D. C., Feb. §.—A Demoerat who hasa very wide acquulntance, and who hus de- voted much time to the purpose of discovering: What ure the Intentions of the Southorn De- mocracy with respect to the Presidential nomi- nee, gives tho following ns tho result of his {n= guiries: Thore are a great many leaders among the Democrats in tho Senato who have grown very hopeful lately that out of the present seem- Ang confustun and discord in the party there will come harmony and unity that wit! insure them yietory in the next campaign.

Speelat Dispatch to ‘he Chicago Tribune. Wasitnatox, D. C., Feb. 6.—The following Is fn outline of tho argument made by Emery A. Storrs before the Ways and Means Committee In opposition to the bill to reduce the tariff on steel rails to $10 perton. Ho denied the statement made by Mr. Poor yesterday that this reduction is called for by the railroads. Not a single great trunk-line In the country has thought of neking Tor ft, Mr, Pour was curcful not to say that Mr. Vanderbilt, President of the New York Centrat Road, was in favor of It; the fact is that the Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Oblo actually oppose the reduction, and so it Is In the West, with tho solitary exception of the IUnots Central, which, after all, represents Ene glish and not American capital, Ho sald that within ten days be wonld lny upon tho table of tho Committes petitions from ruflroads in com- Parison with whose wealth and influence, miles of Iine and tonnage of fretebt, those represent- ed in Mr. Poor's memorial woukd shrink into in- significance. “Though the voice be the volce of Jucob, the hand fe tho hand of Esau.” Tho power bebind Mr. Poor fs that of ‘THM EXOLIBI MANUPACTUTERS of steel rails, Mr. Poor is tho ugent of this tne terest, and tho signatures to his memorial were procured with great difficulty, The atcel-rail interest of this country had {ts birth in 1870; sluco that tinic—that is, since tho present tarlir was fixed—i{t has produced 2,501,701 tons of atcel rulls, and 1s wy the leador of that Intercat on the face of tho"hubituble globe, It found the price of steel rails nbout $00 per ton, and thelr price is mow about “$0 por ton, with ull prices on the, upward boom. For ten years,tho stcc!-rall {nterest of this coun- try hus operated tu reduce tho prico of thutr Product all over the world, He contended that the development of this greut tndustry from nothing to its present immense proportions bas Jed directly to the devglopment of mines of conl, Iron, and other minerals, the credit for which Mr, Poor and Mr. Wilson gave to tho railroads. ‘The duty of 828 {3 renlly alow one compared with other articles. Itis leag thun very many ond greater than none. j IN ANSWER TO THE ESTIMATE made by Mr, Wilson as to the quantity of steel rails needed Inthe country tor the next yeur, Mr. Storrs sald thore wasn milstuke, both us to the auantity required and the capneity of our works to furnish. The flyure—t,00,0W) tons— was tooinuch by far, and the cstlinuteof capacity tat 600,000 t8 tuo smiuil, ‘Pho truth is, wo waut Just tibout 1,000,000 tons, and wo cn furitat 900,000, tnd for the next yeur we have un order on En- ghind for Just 100,000, so that, us If by providen- tial arrangement, the supply and demand aro exactly equalized. Buta part of tho catlmnated want is iron rulls, which ure still lurgely used, and we nntually produce 000,000 tons of those: and rently thon the supply is already In oxcesa of thodomand, The Hethlehom works have with+ in the year increased thofr cnpavity 00,000 tons, tho Pensylvania works 40,000 tons, ‘the Chlengo works 0¥,000 tons, and tho Scranton works 00,000 tons. The aggremite inereuse in tho cauntry will bo not less than You, tons, “TIS RNONMOUS INCREASE in production of steel nulls will reduce prices a3 surely as sparks ly upward, ind tringportation rates algo {f the railronds will behave properly, Replying furthor to Mr, Wilson's argument of yesterday, he denfed that there was a ten-year guaranty on English and « vo-year guaranty on Amoricin steel rails, .

Mr, Felton—No, air, the Association as such as not, Mr, Carlisic—Do you -know whether tho othor mill-owners of this country have furnished any money to compensate tho Vulcan Works?

Mr. Felton—Yes: and thoy have been notified, + Emery A. Storrs closed the argument on be- half of the steel manufacturers, and against tho proposed reduction of duty.- He denied em- phntically the assumption mude throughout the discussion that n reduction of dutics wus guught for in the Interest of the miilroad compunics, It was not. That was slmply a bold, unwarranted aasuinption, It was untrue in polnt of fact. It was truc that gome rallroads were asking for tha reduction, but, speaking of the railroad Interest usu whale, it was not true that they Were usking for it, Thore was nota single yreat trunk Joa of railroad connecting the seaboard with tha Northwest that asked’ fora reduction. There yng not a memorial on tho files of the ‘Committeo signed by a representative of a single great trunk Ine that usked for reduction, One road had been definitly represented as be= Ing in favor of # reduction, That was tho Tle. nots Central. But tho ileayo & Northwestern Kond, the Milwaukee & St. Poul Itallroad, the Chicago, Hock Island & Paclile Road, and the Alton & St. Lauls wore noue of thoi advocites of this reduction, but were opposing it.
