Grant at the Chicago Convention, {t would be advisable to endeavor to transfer che Grant strength to Edmunds rather than to Bialne or Washburne, The argument which the Blaine men advanced to support this theory was that the Cameron nen could not fail to seo that Grant was losing rthor than inerensingin strength, and that the Can- érons would much prefer to throw thelrintti- ence for Edmunds than for Binine or “‘Wasl- burne. ‘The relations now with Blaine, they state, are strained, while the older Cameron Partleulnrly a opposed to Washburne, ‘The sane gentleman, referring to the rapid decline fr the Grant strength, referred to a vote recently taken in Cumberland County, in Pennaylvanin, where it stood 2,400 for Blaine to 0 for Grant.

After n good deal of conning over the subject Sherman told Grosvenor that he had tio real antagonism, toelther Binine or his friends, and that if’Blaine would restrain any ote tempton the partof his friends to. maken showlng of his strength in Ohio's Conven- vention, Sherman would pledge him the sup- port of the State delegation at Chicago If tt should be demonstrated that he (Sherman could not be-nomluated, What he did want! to avold was any effort on the part of Diaine to capture delegates to the State Convention, and for Blaine fo lot him along In ntanaciny aifairs in his own State, Grosvenor DINED WITH BLAINE, While discussing the good (ings of this life, the General reeited tle details of tha conversation he had with Sherman, atthe Intter’s ten-table, forr-anid-twenty hours pre- vious, Bluine was astounded ot Sherman's: position, 4 “Why, said he, “Gon, Grosvenor, Iam somewhat surprised.
