Reasons Why None of the Delegates Selected by the Fraudulent State Con= vention Should Be Admitted to Seats in the National Convention, 10 the Editor of The Chteago Tribune, Cincago, May 26.—As it cannot now but be Oppirent und conclualye tu the mind of every true lepublican that tho eontrol of the Spring- fled Convention wis usurped by menns and tnctics of the most outraycous character,’ and ‘that every act of that Convention, so far as tho same related to the selvction of delegates tu tho Chivas Convention, was tho outgrowth of fraud and Is consequently fraudulent, I desire to ralsa the question why any ot the delegutes selected, in the munner they were, by u boytisand fraudus Ient Convention, should be admitted to weats in the Nutlonal Convention. Had the only legal and qualified delegates 10 from Cook County Leon admitted without qucs- tion In tho temporary orgunization of tho Gon- vention, the Convention would have beun de- eldedly antl-Grunt, for the reason that the dele- ics of such counties na Clark, Eftingham, Hundorion, and others, would hive voted ua thoy were eae to Vote by thosu who eleuted ant nstead of voting with Logau and his myr- inidons. Having ostublished the fact of tho fraudulent churacter of thy Convention, it appeurs to me. that the itcleyites elected, nv they wero, through fraud, are friuds thomnselvee, aud have no more Tight to gente in the Chicago Convention than the sane number of men picked up from the streots of this clty, and should be unceremont- oualy kicked out of the National Convention. Would [t not be woll for the contestants from. this State to include in. their appeal u atrong protest nyninst the adimiasion of uny one of the forty-two delegates selected by an ngurped and fraudulent Convention, 4s they wero ut Spring.

There ure, however, some points In tho matter which have not yet appeared, and ure possibly the most important. It has been urged that Grant, in his Inmost naturo, Is so strongly imbucd with that love of country cominun to atl trite Americnus that this desire of which he hus been aceused could never, even for & moment, have found a lodge ment.
