C., May 2.—Tho third-term movoment has lost more ground bore during the past week than at any timo since the canvass opened, A prominent Hopublican Senator who is friendly to Grant stated to-day that the nomination of the ex-President involved tho disintegration of the Ropublican party. “Tam convinced,” said the Senator, * that if we noml- nato Grant there will bots spilt in tho party, The autl-Grant Republicans will in that evont be suro to put a candidate in tho feld, and, if tho Demoerita nominate ; Tilden, as now scems probable, who knows but what the opponcnta of both Grant and Tilden will form a# coalition and unite upon a candidate that will be more acceptable to the people than cithar? I would not be surprised to sce both of tho great political partics yo under. this year. There aro 60 many dissatisfied Republicnos and Democrats that the timo is ripo for o strong third party organization, Iam not alone in the opinion that tho nomination of Gon. Grant means tho death of tho Republican’ party, Ihave beard many Icading mon in the organization express the game viows, I think that when tho Chicago Convention assembles this fact will have become so npparont that the nomination of Grant will not be serlously considered by any one.” THERK WAVE DREN BEVERAL CONSULTATIONS of late ntnong somo of tho Hepubiftan members of the Houso with the viow‘of altemnting to ex- ert continued influence to prevont the nomina- tion of Gen. Grant, Tho move had its origin among mombera who havo always beon friendly to Grant, and who would like tosco him nomi- nated now, if they, bolleved he could bo cleoted. ‘Tho conviction of a good many members that ho cannot bo clected has beon the result of gon- erat convorsation on the floor and in the clonk- rooms, which has developed the fact that the advices which reach’ many mem- bers from .all sections, through tholr pri- vate correspondence, aro uniform in thoir references to the existence of a strong antl- third-term foeling. This feature of tho sltua- tion bas finally alarmed a good many mombers, and hence the consultations alluded to have been held for tho purpose of devising tho beat means of using their influence to prevent tho nomination of Grant. The arguments which thoy usonro notin thointerosts of any other can- aldate, but are used solely for the good of the party and tho necessity of eclecting A CANDIDATE WHO WOULD Not alfonate a conslderable proportion of the Re- publican yote, There is hardly a member of tho Ohio deleganon whe belicves Grant cnn carry that. State, and thore 4s only one Grant man In tho Indiana delega- ton. ‘The stalwart Grant men hore aro not as much disturbod over the conservative speeches of the Goncral at tho South as somo seem to think. Ono of tho warmest frivnis of Grant hore, and ono on intimate terms with tho Washington manngors of bis canvass, saya that those South- orn speeches are giving bls extrome bloody- shirt supporters no trouble, as thoy look upon those conciliatory utterances ns u very shrowd move, and one that will be a great assistance in thocontost. Tho talk of this gentloman was sich os tolead to tho conclusion that the partic. ular chuructor of these apecches wis considered and agreed-upon boforehand as most expedient to be used during tho Southorn portion of “ tho grout progress.” ‘THY PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION, Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribuns, PUILADELPHIA, May _2.—Thore is increasing ‘Unoasiness among the Grant manngera hore and in Washington ns to the purposes of the antl- Grant mon in tho Ponnsyivania Gologation to Chicago.

Paun, Minn, May L—Public opinion upon tho Presidential question has lost the nebulous character that distinguished Minnesota from most other States enrly in the season, and is rap> {dly erystullizing about detinit centres of choice. Only one or two unlmportant County Conven- tlons have heen beld, but there is some very act- Ave and industrious getting ready for tho others, Everywhere this home and foreign missionary work {8 going on, both in behalf of Preslitentlal candidates and local lights who wieh to signalize thelr political careers uy a day or two of servico as delegates to a National Convention, It is weil to premise to whut Js sald about the chances of various candidates that tho canvass pre- \iminary te tho County Conventions has taken a curiously personal turn, Men scramblo for the. honor of = going to Chicago ns a delegute with as much earnest- ness is for much more permancnt and lucra- tive places. “The discussion in the countloa turns more upon the question what local . polt- Uchun shall represent the district than what Presidential candidate he shall support; and tne bead of the delegation nt large fs cnnvassed with as much anxiety as if he were to -bo the candidate for Governor.

ACTION OF THE DEMOCILATS OF CBYANOGA COUN+ TY, ONLO—A BKETCH OF MI. PAYNE'S CAREER. Special Correspansence of The Chicago Tribune, CLEVELAND, Ou Muy 1.—Tho Payne boom—the first faint premonitions of which were noted In the Clevelatid correspondence of THe TRONR some weeks since—was xiven n full and fale tm petuain the County Convention here to-day. ‘The usual amount of fighting and fur-pulling, for which the local Domocracy hns been noted for lo these many years pust, was indulged in. Jad names were called, bad whisky drank, and bad feelings ratsed;-buton ono point all were united, from the lowest ward-bummor who worked !t up with the “bhoys,” and got sont in ns x delegnte, to tho biggest mannger of things In goncral who looked on at the fray,—namely: that tho Hon. Honry 8, Payne is the groatest mut in the Nation, and that all should use their uttnost endeavors to got him nominated for Prestdent. Lovktng around among the ‘prominent mem- bets of tho party to-day, some opinions of in- terest were gathered. Tho Hon. Joseph Poe, ia reply toa question in regard to tho row, sald: “Oh! nothing of special interest happonod. It wasnllas smooth us things genorally go. A ttle feeling, you know,—jJuat enough to make it Interesting.” “How do they all stand on the question of Payne?” “Why, all tho Democrats, and Republicans too, will yote for him incase he fs nominated. He fa the greatest and the strongest man {n the Nation, Ithink. We shot! wait untl! wo seo how thingsaro going {mesnmy ‘Tilden, no doubt); and thon weshulldo our best for Payne; you may rest oxatired.” Tho struggic was between whatis called the Platn- Dealer faction of the local party and thelr enemies; but, as usual, tho pon was mightior than anything else that was brought to bear axyainat it, Maj. Armstrong, the genial editor of the paper, and John H. Farley, a rotired ward. politician, wero clected as delegates; and it was over thia that the chicf struggle took place. It was desired by some that somo highly respect- ablo old fossils, like the Hon. Rt. P. Spalding or Gon. Dodge, should be elected as delegates, and thus surround tho prescutation of the name of Mr. Payne in the Cincinnati Convention with s halo of respectability; but those who ware bet-: ter posted on the ways of the wicked world, and especially with the ways of the manipulators of Democratic National Convontions, wero well aware that such young, vigorous workers as Maj. Arinstrong and Mr.+Farloy will got “in modins res,"" and give our highly respoctable candidate -a more respectable acndoff, and be more likely to offsct the wiles of the immortal John G. Thompson, who fs bending his every effort in behale of bis great mustor, Souator Thurinan. ‘Tho great question now is whother Oh{lo shall support os A unit any enndidate; whether it will be moat expedient to cust the first or com~ ipiaieatary ballot fur Thurman and then turn te Payne, or try to ceutre on Puyne from tha be- ginning, Tho Thurman men, a fow of them, scom to be in dendly onrnest; but the majority. simply feel that’ © mero matter of form’ whould be indulged in in the vote for the Senator before ho passes from the Senate into private tie, Tha jacxo partot she pets i Mr. the northern portion of the Stato feel ‘Thurman mundo n fatal mistake when he deliv- cred a soft-moncy specch a few yeura ago, und Know that he woukt not uiako an acceptable - cundidute to the country at large.
