Spectat Dispatch to The Ohteago Tribune, ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., May 2.—Fornoy's Sunday Chronicle this morning contains an nrticlo which announces that it has information that Gen. “Grant will decline to be n candidate at Chicago, or that if he sbould succced in recelving tho nomination that he will be withdrawn, Tho article says: ‘An Intorviow which took placo a fow days ogo between Mr. Conkling and ono of his associates in the Sonntorial Syndicate fa full of significance, and, as it comes to usin avery reliable shape, we reproduce it for tho benofit of our readors.

The question was squarcly put whoethor under any contingency he could sup- port Blaino, to which ho replied, * Novor!" ‘“Washburne?’ ‘Never!’ ‘Shorman?’ ‘Never!’ Itwasthen intimated to him that, If this was bts doterminatién, tho chances of a harmonfons election of acandidate at Chicago wero rathor doubtful, It was suggested that : OTHER GENTLEMEN, and mombers of the Syndicate, might find It to their interest to pursuc a different courso, and that, whatever the dologates from New ‘York might do, tho admonition corhing from Ponnsyl- nia and othor States of like Republican pram- Bones could never be ignored, and that i continued Gen.

Tho sama gentic- man who counsdied Senator Conkling to look at the situntion with the eye of 4 statesronn also remarked to sevornl ot bis friends after tho interview bad olnsed it, ‘white Gen. Grant might bo xbifo to, control enough yotos to nominate him, ho never would ‘ba nominated in tha face of tha aunty Fratest of tho rank and file of the party.’ This language, ‘coming aa it did from ono of the carly managers of the bonm,: is regarded as ‘a strong bint that Gen.

THY PREVAILENG RENTIMENT, Bptelat Lispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Conumous, O., May 23.—Sinco the Presidential olection of 1876 there has not been as much pos UticAl Interest manifested i Ohio as at tho Present time, ‘Tho three-car! monte gamo played by Senator Logan at the Springfield Con- ventlon, and tho high-handed mannor tn which tho third-tormers disregarded tho wiilof tho people, fs thoonly subject talked of, Thoro Is -but one political party that are clamorous for Grant, and that is the Domocratio organization, who aro now more confident of suc cess in tho Presidential contest than at any timo during tho past twenty years, ThoDomocratlcienders say, “Nominate Grant at Chicago, and we will carry Oblo, IItl- nols, and Pennsylvania with our candidate, who everho may ho, not excepting Tilden." This viow {a confirmed by the more far-secing Ie- publicnns of Ohio, who do not hesitate to say thar with Grantasn cnndidato It fs tscloss to hopo thut he could bo elected, Doth the friends of Sherman and Blaine agreo on this point, if noother, With any acceptable candidate, Ohio can ho relied upon in October, hut with Grant tho Republicans would romainat home. Nearly avery Republican paper in Ohio OPENLY DENOUNCES THE 8WINDLB tf etrated at Springficld. Tho Dispatch, a leading Sherman organ, and a papsr of infu ence, in reviewing tho proceedings of tho Con- vention, says, editorially: ‘Even the rules of eammon deconcy were disregarded, and in such a mannor ua to make the common crowd appear respectable in contrast with that of Logan.” Tho articto appenis to the National Convention to undo tho wrong and repudiate tho acta of tho Springfield Convention, and, if that body falls in {ts duty, then an appeal should be taken by: tho Republican party of tho country nt tho polls. “Vhis| course may not be consistent with party fealty, and to encourage it may savor of treason; but thoro are times when trenson be- cones respectable. Tho Republican party, made up as It {a of citizens of intelligence who are actuated by honest motives, cannot afford to let wrong go unrobuked, even if that wrong Is pornetentcs yy those who profess allegiances to ft. Whon the party machinery is used as an in- strumont of oppression, whon tho commonest rights are disregarded, when all tho ordinary recedents nra overthrown in tho interosts of a low men, thon it fs tine to speuk plainly upon the subject.” ok: THE “SUNDAY NEWS," independent Republican, in a leadorsnys: “It would be dificult to concetve a moro ropulsive exhibition of party despotism than that wit- nessed In tho Repuditean State Convention of Iifinola the pnst week, Tho machine munnyc- ment, under tho Canserons of Ponnsylvania and Conkling of Now York, is creditable by tho aldo of it. Nothing but tho lowest and ineckest order of party servillty will approve It.” Reviowing tho outrage at somo length, the News sounds t warning to the fron clad rule, advocates against nm repetition of the Springfold Conven- tion swindle, and concludes os follows: “Thore will be lively muste at Chicago on the 2d and dof June, and if third-termery triumphs by the same desporato tactics that It did ne Spridafeld, the Hepubilcan party aight: as woll bang its harp on tho willows,so far as tho coming Presidentiul election ts concernoil.” Many prominent Republicans speak of a third candidate in tho’ Presidential contest in the eventof Grant’s nomination, and it scems now yory apparent that Ohio would load of ina moyoment of thia kind. MINNESOTA. PREFERENORS OF THE MEMDRRS OF TIE REPUB? LICAN AND DEMOCRATIC DELEGATIONS. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Br. PAUL, Minn., May 23.—The Stato Convon- tions of both partics have been held in Minne- sota, and tho dolegates of both to the National Conventions are appointed. Tho clreumjtances in both cases make the personal charnctdr, son- thnents, and. proferencos of the delegates a matter of prime importance. Tho Republican delegates are instructed for a favorit son, who may reasonably bo oxpoated to disappear from tho balloting after a few complimentury votos, when tholr porsonal proferences wilt become ‘iinportant.’ Fhe Domocratio delegates are not instructed at all, oxcopt to voto os a unit; and thelr personal position is tho important thing from the atart. Both the delogations nro mado up of men of averngo chnracter and men- tal collbro, though neither contains tho most ablo party-londers in the Stato. On tho Kopub- Moan side, tho ospousal of tho causo of tho wrong candidate deprived tho brilliant Davis of ‘bjs natural position ns loader of tho delegation, Oh tho Democratio sido, none of the intellectual and moral chiefs of the party seomned to cro to dispute tho fendership of tho delegation with tho rich grocer who was moving heaven and carth to get the position. To roviow the members of both delogntions in detall: ‘TI REPUBLICAN DELEGATION, David Sinclair, of Winona, who stands at tho head of, tho Ropublican delegates at Inrge, is Windom's porsonal represontative, Ho 1s tho editor of the Winona Lenuitican, the Senator's mouthpiece, and Poatinnster of Winona.
