THE INTENSE INTEREST taken is the doings of the Convention was fully exemplified by the vast crowd which constituted iteelf an ontside audience during the proceed- ings of laetevening. From 8 o'clock in theeven- ing up to the adjournment of the Convention Michigan avenue, in the vicinity of the southern half of the Exposition Building, was occupied Dravat asemblage of people, male and fe ‘male, anxious to catch any intelligence of the doings of the President-makers inside the build- ng. It was not a mob, this collection of inter- ested individuals, but a gathering of citizens aod the wives of citizens, the latter in strong foree, who waited patiently for any news from the inside of the building which they did not possess the means of enter~ ing. The business before the Convention was notofa nature to satisfy their curiosity. There were no contested questions for the house to passupon; there was no vote to designate the strength of the respective candidates, but still, 0 deep was the interest which the outsidersheld fn the proceedings that the simplest intimation of the nature of the work which the Convention was disposing of was received with expressions of pleasure. The adherents of all the named candidates combined in its composition, and its reception of the news of the various nomina- tonsmade was perhaps as faithful an indica- ton of the popular feeling towards the various candidates as the more uproarious demonstra- ‘dons within the building. A competent estimate of the number of the crowd gathered in the vicinity of the Exposition Building at 9 o'clock in the evening places it at ‘not less than 10,000. At this time there were not Jess than an equal numberinside the Convention building; so thut it can be set down that, while thevaricus Presidential candidates were being placed in nomination, not less than 20,00) peoplo Were within earshot of the remarks of the orators of the occusion. The scene on Michigan avenue during the eveoing was # remarkable one. Gaslight md calcium ght shed their lustre upon tho vast assemblage who concen- trated around the southern half of the Exposi- tion Building. The asphaitum pavement in front of che structure was crowded witn per- sons on the qui vive for the faintest intimation ‘of what was going on inside the building, whose brilliantly illumined entrances tantalized the multitude who would buve nm all the more tantalized bad they known of the large vacant space in the northern end of tne Convention hall. THE CROWD ABOUT THE SOUTH END OF THE BUILUING wasof the character decidedly respectable. It wasas much representative as any of like size ever gathered in Chicago. There was anxicty depicted on all countenances. At o'clock there could have been no less than 8,000 people fn the Vicinity of the Exposition Building, and no less than 3090 of these were gathered about the slag and telegraph office doors and entrances Ww the southern portion of the gallery. Gentic- men accompanied by ladies could find no admittance, though thelr tickets were right. One of the doorkeepers told =a TRIBUNE reporter that over Mi duplicate ticketa had been presented to him. Itis certain that there was much real reason to complain by those who were disappointed last evening and who held genuine tickets. The People on the outside seemed to participate in the enthusiasm on the inside. hen it was ied that Mr. Joy, of Michizan, had nomi- Rated Mr. Blaine, there were those who thought he was exactly the man to have done it. When, then, Mr. Frye was heard to be talking, anditseemed that his remarks were to the Polat, there were murmurs of satisfaction. ‘I wish to God they'd nominate to-night,” ‘aid'one gray-bearded man, ‘and have this geonr over. “Icamne ull the way from Cali- fornia to eee Blaine nominated, and I don’t ‘Want to go back Hissppoinied ‘You ‘won't be disappointed,” remarked a maninthe crowd.

Pres the hotels yesterday during the session Convention there was the most intense Parcs manifested in the proceedings, and anx- ign? inquiries were made as to when a ballot would be reached. During the forenoon the ‘eg held agort of informal caucus in ten the rooms of the Grand Pacific, where ren nes discussed. It was solemnly ang together. Tom Keogh esti- eyed that the strength of Gen.

The chances of Gen. Garfield were also spoken of. and it was stated that the Ohio men intended to spring him at the proper time. The Eastern delegates did not object to him, but in- sited that if Grant did not get the nomination iat then the candidate should be an Eastern man. A soldier wouid be needed on the ticket, and be could be found in the person of Gen. Garfield, whom the caucus unanimously favored as candidate for Vice-President. The milder of the Grant men insisted that a ticket composed of Fish and Garfield would be one that would win, anda clear compromise for all factions against which none could honestly object.

The Grant men were perfectly willing to take all they could get, but claimed that they would get a large portion of tho Sherman vote, auyhow, having made arrangements so that it would come over at the proper time. It is certain that several important combinations were attempted to be formed, but whether successfully remains en. NOTES. John B. Drake, proprietor of the Grand Pa- cific, says: “The Convention needn't beina hurry to adjourn on my account.” Some of the impoverished Southern delegates were flush yesterday. The sale of tickets by the Alabama fellows and other “ business” transac- tions, seems to have replenished their purses. The John Sherman banner, which hung across Clark strect, in front of the Grand Pacific, ha’ been shifted to Adama street, where it is stretched across from the Custom-House to tho Honoré Building. The Sherman Club, of Cincinnati, accom- panied by Curricr’s Band, stopped at Tan ‘TRIBUNE olfice pesterday morning on their way compliment iu tho way ofa serenade. ‘The musle rendered by,the band was excellent, and the Club presented a fine appearance in thelr white hats. Potter Palmer's decorations of natural flow- ers around the picture of Gen. Grant were con- sidered rather suggestive by some of the hotel Visitors yesterday, One of thom, a well-known statesman and a Grant man, said: “They al- ways have towers at well appointed funerals, but I'm afraid this funeral won't have the elements of well defined respectability about it.” In talking to a well-known delegate from New York, a strong Grant, man, he said to a ‘TRIBUNE reporter: ‘I don’t know who will be the nominee, but it will not be Grant. I shail vote for him as long ashe Is before the Con- vention. If we don't get Grant [d6n't know who weshall get. I favor Hamilton Fish, and I think he suits Conkling. Conkling himsetf’will never do. But we must carry New York, and we can’t do it without Conicling’s help, and we can't carry. the National election without Now York. The troudle is that Conkling is pettiah. Ho wants to rule or ruin, and we | have got to suit him.” pout the hotels last night there was the greatest anxiety manifested in regard to the propavle regults. Most people expected that a allot would be reached and thus each of the candidates’ real strength would be shown. In Sherman and Tremont Houses there were sev- eral beta made of $100 to $75 that Grant would not be nominated, and $100 even that he would not receive over 300 votes_any time during the balloting. At the Grand Pacific and Palmer the bulletins were eagerly scanned, and opinions varied a little agstothe strength of the candi- dates. At the Grand Pacific Blaine wassccred- ited with a3 high as 330 votes, and at the Palmer as low as 28). Grant's chances were scknowl- edged to be exccedingly elim. ‘ IN GENERAL, : NEW YORK. PRESS COMMENTS. Spectal Dispatch to ‘The Chicago Triduns, New York, June 5.—The Tribune says of the present position of affairs: “After four days of scheming and obstruction the third-term lead- ers find themselves beaten at every turn of tho proceedings, and are forced to acknowledge that Senator Blaine. is the foremost candidate before the Convention. Sunday will give them breathing epnce. Plotting is no longer of much avail, Will they havo time for a new combination; and if they make {t can they force it through?” The Times expresses no opinion. The platform ig considered a strong one by | the papers generally. ‘ANSINTY. Crowds gathered at the hotels and around the bulletins to-night eager for news, since a first pallot at least was expected. The announce- ment of adjournment was received with expressions of disgust and disappointment. The politicians nere arc in dread of so loug suspense. Many Republicans said that such delay on the part of the Grant men not only injured them in the Convention, but was harmful to tho interests of the party in the campaign. 2 ‘There isafeeling of great jubilation in Re- publican circles over what is considered the CERTAIN SETILEMENT OF THE GRANT DUSINESS. His unpopularity in this State has never been so apparent as since his chances grew so beautiful- ly less than his Triumvirate claimed they would 5 Papers come in from all parts of the State rejoicing openly over the defeat of the unit rule, gag-law, State repre- sentation tactics, and the third term,and the exquisitl; ling.

Bosros, June 5.—The probability of a ballot to-night aroused the strangely apathetic temper of citizens, to some extent, and there was a crowd on the streets waiting for news. The Ad- vertiser and Journal will issue Sunday editions for the first time since the War. Butat midnight there really seemed no demand for the Chicago news which they promise. The Advertiser, in commenting on the plat- form, will say: ‘It {fs broad and sound. Credit is justly claimed for what has been done and for the legitimate results of the work of the party for the suppression of the Bebellion and for the vast constitutional nd administrative consequences that have flowed from it, for the legislation that raised the National credit, for tho reform in tho currency which has ensued, and for tho returning prosperity of the country which fol- lowed as a natural, and indeed inevitable, offect of these causes, The party has rendered tho country moral and material service, and it de- mands 8 full renewal of the popular confidence for the completion of the work, also, so well begun, as well a3 for new enterprises and fresh reforms.

The ref- erence to the present Administration is a well- deserved tribute to the earnest and patriotic work of the President. It is noteworthy as indicating a change in the tone of the loaders of the party. The arraignment of the Democratic party Is brief, but startling. The evil tendencies, the bad associa- tions, the wickedness and folly fll-concealed by hypocritical pretensions, the audacious attempt to outride the popular will. to break down the safe; of elections, to steal State Govern- ments, to’ perpetuate ‘financial insecuritica, —all these are set forth with nervous emphasis. It is an indictment to which @ plea of ‘Not guilty’ will not be admitted.” THE “ HERALD” és say: “The party has manifestly fallen be- ie EBT i xpectatlons ‘of those within its ranks whose good offices were most worth saving.

C., June 5.—Sonator Blaine received the news from Chicago during the evening in very fragmentary bullc- tins, Ho was surrounded by 8 num- ber of friends. Thu adjournment without a ballot was an gvident disappointment. Blaine’s friends had hoped that there would have been at lenst one ballot taken to-night, as they were confident it would show Blaine’s great strength and Grant's weakness, Secretary Sherman received the news at the ‘Treasury Department. Sccretary Schurz and a great number of people remained there until 1 a. m. when the news of the ad- journment came, It had been expected by Mr. Sherman that there would have been ‘one ballot to-night, but_consoiation was found in the fact that the effect of the nominating Speeches will be in great measure dispelled be- fore the Convention shall ayain meet. THE CHINESE PLANK. COMMENTS OF CALIFORNIA PAPERS. San Fraxoisco, June 5.—Commonting on the anti-Chinese plank incorporated in the report of the Committee on Platform of the Chicago Convention, the Cal, after noting the resolution which the Pacific Coast delegates proposed, says: “This plank, which the Committee thought too radical, does not mect the cmergenoy. Its Insertion in the platform would not bind tho party to any action except such as can be taken with the consent of the Chinese Government. It recognizes the evils of Chineso immigration and the desirability of modification of the ex- isting treaties, but does not say what should be done if the Chiueso’ Government refuses to inodify the treaty." ‘The article then quotes the plank as adopted by the Connnittee, and continues: “If this fs the best the Chicego Convention can do for the Pacific Coast, it may save itself the trouble of dotng anything. A successful campaign can bo conducted on this resolution only in the event of there being no chance of doing better.” ‘The Chrontcle says of the California resolution: “There is nothing rank in this. Itis milder than the temper of the people of the Pacitic Coast on the subject, and less spirited than the innk reported yesterday by the full Committee. ‘he report, so far as relates to this particular Subject, is fully up to tke wishes of the citizen = populati of California, which is saying a deal, since the vote of this State at the Inst general election declared 198 to 1, or 164,000 to $00, in favor of rigid ro- atrietions on Chinese emigration hither, and a modification of the existing laws and treaties to thatend. This vote accurntely represuats the sentiments of every Pacific State and Territory, and any contempt of it manifested by any of the national politienl conventions will surely be re- sented at the polls in November by Oregon and Nevada as well ag California.

Speotal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Dsrxorr, Mich., June 5.—Elihu B. Washburne arrived In town to-night, and, quietly proceed- ing to the Russell House, secured apartments, and, after making request that tha fact of his arrival be kept-secret, made arrangementa to receive the news from Chicago 28 fast as ro- ceived. Your correspondent learned that Mr. Washburne was in the city and called at the hotel and interviewed him, although very much against his will. Mr. Washburne assured mo that he was not in any senso a candidate for the Presidency, but, on the contrary, earaestly de- sired the uomination of Gen. Grant. He says ho has no second choice, but will give the nominee of the Convention his hearty support, Washburne said the report that heat any time contemplated going into the Convention and plactng Grant. iu nomination was false. Despite Washburnb's protestation his manuer is that of a man with a Presidential bee in his bonnet, and the fact of his reaching Detroit to-night leads to the belief that he wants to be within a few hours’ journey of Chicago in the event of his receiving the nomination. INFORMED OF HIS NOMINATION. Before the namo of Washburne was presented ‘at the Convention that gentleman had retired forthe night, but, when your correspondent called to inform him that his name had been formally presonted to tho Conrention. he found him up and dreased and in'an engor state of, an- ticipation. He recelved the announcement with undisguised pleasure. WEST VIRGINIA. CAMPBELLS POSITION. Special Dispatch: to The Chicago Tribune, Woer.inc, W. Va., Juno 5.—Contradictory dispatches sent from here to various papers concerning the feeling among West Virginia Republicans in regard to the passage between Mr. A. W. Campbell, of this State, and Senator Conkling, have created some excitement. Tho statement that prominent Republicans con- demned Campbell's course has hud the effect of putting all the prominent men of that party on their metal, and a meoting was held this eyen- ing and arrangements made to tender Mr. Campbell and his colleagues an unprecedented ovation upon their return to thiscity. Enthu- sinsm is at fever-heat, and several propositions have becn made to telegraph to Mr. Mason, of the West Virginia delegation, to put Mr. Camp- bell in nomtnation for the Vice-Presidency. He ig stronger in the State to-day than he ever was. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY. IN ROCHESTER, N. ¥. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Rocuester, N. ¥.,Juno 5.—There is great re- Joicing here over the triumph of popular righta in the Convention. Western New York is satisfied with the work thusfardone. She will ‘elect any good Republican ticket,and if she cannot have Blaine, or Sherman, or Washburno, then Garfleld_for President, and Gen. Jo It. Hawley, of Connecticut, for Vice-President, would be the ticket she would enthusiastically support. IN INDIANAPOLIS. ‘Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., June 5.—Intense inter- est is manifested in the work of the Chicago Convention. The streets infront of the news- paper officesand the ‘Telegraph Company were il- luminated. In tho pool-rooms Grant has led until to-day, but to-night tho field is. larxoly in advance, Betsare mude that Blaine will lead Grant in the first ballot. : AT GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Gnranp Rapips, Mich., June 6.—The most fn- tense intorcet prevails !n all circles in this city over the action of the Convention, and a large crowd surrounds the telegraph office watching and waiting for tho bulletin, though it is nearly midnight. Tho Republicans are nervous, many of them, sogreat is thelr fear that after all Grant may be nominated. THE GREENBACKERS. ON THEIR WAY TO CHICAGO. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Bosron, June 5.—Most of the Boston delegates to the National Greenback Convention left here Jast night and this morning, and many of the Massachusetts men loave Portland to-day ona special train chartered by the Maine delegation, the cars of which will be decorated. As the train proceeds additional coaches will be added to accommodate delegates gathered up on the way. It is claimed by the Greenbackers that the sentiment in Maine is now stronger in favor of their ideas than ever before, and that al- though they have fost some strength in Massachusetts, it is nothing that cannot easily be recovered. Eastern men incline to tho opinion that the Greenback candidate for President will be either Hendrick B. Wright or Benjamin F. Butler, and that Chambers, of ‘Texas, will get the nomination for Vice-Presi- dent. The Greenbackers here believe that their opportunities in the next Presidential election will be great, that they will carry soveral States, including Toxas and Maino, and perhaps hold the balance of power iu the casting of the Electoral votes. The Massachusetts delegates telegraphed the manager of the Palmer House, Chicago, for a large room to be used asn head- quarters, and received a reply in which an offer was made of a -sized one at $100 a day. Withoutdelay, the following message was flashed to the Palmer House: “We have no bar'L” Negotiations thereupon ceased. TO OLD PARD. FROM THE GENTLEMAN FROM NEVADA.

THE “BOOM” WEAKENING. WHAT M'CULLAGH SAYS IN A DISPATCH TO HIS PAPER. ‘Telegram to St. Louts Globe- Democrat (Originat Grant ‘Hoomer). Cmtcaco, June 4.—It is now evident that Grant's strength on the first ballot will not be as greatas his friends expected. It is equally certain that Grant's strength on the first ballot will bo greater than Blaino’s orany other mau’s, and,{n ordor to make a good guess as to the final result, it would be necessary to know whut disposition will be made of; the Sherman vote, the Edmunds vote, and the Windom vote after the second or third ballot. A union of the forces of Grant and Sherman, with the latter for Vice- Prosident, would win; but it is by no means certain that it can be effected. Blaine and Sherman by uniting could win; but they are not Ukely to unite. Certainly they will never to do so with the conscnt of the Ohio delegates, who seem to have Sherman's in- terest In charge, because the leading mon from Ohio prefer Grant to Blaine. Sherman's friends still hope that the Grant men will go over to them in the event of Grant's defeat; but it is not likely, even {f the Grant column should go to pleces, that Sherman could get enoughof it to carry him through. Conkling would use all his efforts to prevent such a result, although Cameron might use his influence to bring it abont. Conkling has those Ideas which are romunent in his mind in the order named as ‘ollows: To nominate Grant, to beat Blaine, and to beat Sherman, He seems to hold forty-seven yotes from New York and about a hundred votes from the other States, in the hollow of his hand, tocast them as ho chooses. It docs not seem possible to nominate anybody without the whole ora large part of this vote. It should be stated here that neither Conkling, Cameron, nor Logun has yet given up the bope of nominating Grant; but each has, within the past twenty-four bours, been looking to defeat as at least a possibility, and ench has been reviewing the ground witha view toa possible dark horse. Logan must do- feat Blaine if possible, to keep his Illinois ene- mies from reaping a persocal victory over him. Itis not known to whom he would like to deliver his strength as second choice; but for personal reasons it would not be either Blaine or Sher- man, and for sectional reasons tt would not be Edmunds. Indeed, it is more than likely that a brexk in the Grant'column would bring Windom tothe front as the representative of tho com- bined strength of Conkling and Logan, while Cameron and his fullowers would wander off towards the Sherman camp.

C., June 4.—A prominent fig- ure among thuse who are watching the bulletins at Willard’s is ex-Secrotary of War Belknap, who {s constantly receiving private advices from hissonin Chicago, and from Hallet Kilbourn and others of the crowd that made Grant's last Administration infamous. Kithourn telegraphed Belknap this morning:'. ‘Don’t bo afraid; bet on the old man.” Later during tho evening the Jatter received a dispatch saying: “The old man will be the next President; tell the boys to jump on the train early.” The old hangers-on of tho District, and other rings which flourished in Grant's timo, have bet all their money on thir “Old Commander,” and their courage is kept up only by such advices as Belknap fain receipt of. THE GERMAN PRESS. THE PITTSBUNG “ VOLKSBLATT” isfull of joy over tho results attained at Chi- cagosofar. Itsays:' “Such determined mani- festations of disgust against the third term as the three Bosses had to confront ut Chicago were not anticipated by them. Although used to the business as political experts, and perfect- ly composed and able to conquer their wrath, their nether lips have traveled. a considerable distance towards their shocs. Even at whistling they could make but a sorry attempt. It can hardly be construed into immodesty—and in such matters we usually adbero to facts—when wo say that the fidelity to,principles of the Ger- man Republicans and their opposition to Grant placed the anti-third-term movement from the beginning upon a solid basis. Among the Ger- mins there prevailed on this question of ‘third term’ on unusual unity; they were ‘solid’ againat {t from the start. And as the mouth of the German generally flows over with that what the heart is full of, so the Toutons made in this case not alone the customary, but double the amount of their usual (In this instance well founded) noise. The American, politically bet- ter trained. is consequently moro careful and discreet in his actions. Our expectations, how- ever, that at. the proper moment he would not be found wanting, but beard from in unmis- tukabie tones aga iust.the third term, have been more than fully realized. Party fealty, brothers- in-law, cousinships, etc., cte., to the contrary notwithstanding, Americans declared in Chicago, ‘ Everything—but not Grant! If you nominate him, the natural iistory of the purty isatanend!’ Such determination of men who are from tho very nature of things more strict in party matters than the Germans must be acknowledged and respected. Moral: Fidelity and love of principle is not exclusively owned in fee simple by the Germans alone!" THE “\ANZEIGER DES WESTENS” writes: “The opposition against Grant is un- shaken, confident, and firm. Its adherents can- notbe intimidated, and not a single vote has Grant recruited out of their ranks, _No compro- mise or alliance has been made or entered into by and between any one of the candidates of the opposition with Grant. In the front ranks of tho combatants against Grant stands, now as before, Mr. Blaine. Thanks to his exertions, above all, Grant did not achieve a victory in the greater portion of the Northern States, therc- by defeating his nomination by acclamation. Aud so he is again in the midst of the fight at Chicago to-day the trusted leader of tho wrestlers ugainst tho great third-termer. If the ex-President is defeated, it has been done by James G. Blaine. 1f both the leaders of the combatants in this fight, Grant and Blaine, should fall, the great unknown whois tho most acceptable to the first may perhaps carry off the -prize—the honor of the nomination. Grant must fall. A candidate against whom euch a storm of indignation has arisen, like the one in Chicago; a candidate whose nomination will be bolted, even in advance, by an innumerable muss of voters and party associates; a candl- date whoge'chief strength lays in the support of a fow ‘Losses’ who desire to rulo under and with him; a candidate who relies on the support of the negro yote of the Southern States, wno cannot give him a single Electoral vote,—such a candidate must be certainly weak, if not the weakest one of them all. Add to this the strong aversion against the third: term and the rem- iniscences of the corrupt and ineapable ad- ministration of-Grant’s last term, and we come to the conclusion, that Grant cannot and will not be nominated at Chicago.” ‘TRE DETIOIT ADEND-POST, in discussing the situation in which the Repub- lican party is placed by the rule-or-ruin policy of afew too ambitious Bosses, says editorially as follows: “The Republican party will pass through a flery ordeal at Chicago. It will there be demonstrated whether principles shail be sacrificed to —_- personal interests, whether a gang of conspirators can, unopposed, follow upand carry out their exotistical schemes and plans, and defy the will of thousands and thousands of honest and true citizens, or whether principles shall prevail and the major- ity shall rule. If, notwithstanding all opposi- tion, the nomination of Grant is forced upon us, the party can only escape the dictation of the Conkifng-Cameron-Logan confederation’ by a Dolt. Buta great many are afraid to resort to such an extreme remedy, and upon this fear the Triumvirate built its plans. Sneeringly, they say: ' We know the purty is opposed to Grant, and we know the party’s reasons, but we [the him for our echemes, and, therefore, he must be nom— inated; if you rebel against ‘this our dictation you ruin the Republican party,’ In this dilema 6 the party will' be placed if our delegates ore not successful in squelching out once'and for- ever the intolerable dictation of these three usurpers. That they may succeed is the silent wish of overy true Republican. According to the latest news we are entitled to all hope.” FRED HASSAUREK, the editor-in-chief of the Cincinnati Volkablatt, writes to his papet from Chicago: ‘A promi- nent citizen'of New York, Mr. Dalgett, has taken a suite of rooms in the Palmer House, where ho ‘keeps open house for the friends of Mr. Sher- man. Col, Moulton has his quarters at the same hotel. At Mr. Dalgett’s rooms a reception was given to the delegates from the South, more particularly to those colored dele- gates whose religious views did not conflict with the pleasant recreation of drinking champagne on Sunday morning. Likely thoy thought like the Prussian Lleutenaats ‘and Ensigns in Heine's Such s miracle, 5 Does hot happen ev'ry day. Notevery day we are blessed with a National Con- vention. ‘There I became acquainted with a great number of colored delegates from tho States of Louisiana, Mississippi, and other Southern States. They are mostiy stroug and powerful men, with intelligent looks, not lacking in tact, dignified in their bearing, and allof them not alone neat in dress, but even elegant. The most of them seem to be perfectly at home in politics, asif they hnd attended to nothing else durin; thelr lifetime. Many of them were delegated as Grant men, but they are afraid of tho terrible responsibility of nominating a candidate who cannot he elected. The most effective argu- ment with them is tho danger of four years of Democratic rule, which seems almost tinavoid- able in case Grant is nominated. If, therefore, the Logan, Cameron, and Conkltng clique can- not win back these colored delogates by some menus or othor, then Grant will be undoubtedly the weakest there, whore he expected to de- velop the grentest strength,—i. c., among the Southern delegations.” In discussing the doings of the Chicago Con- vention THE BALTIMORE “DEUTSCHE " CORRESPONDENT says editorially: “ During the struggles of the last few days at Chicugo ugainst the nomination of Grant, a great portion of the Republican party, which heretofore appeared to be chained to the destiny of the silent man and the rulings of his machine, appears in a better and a purer light. Weare only sorry that this courageous and desperate opposition did not assert itselt sooner. The nucleus of the opposition against Grant was to be found until lately among Ger- man Itepublicans, and if ‘the Blaine forces bad commenced thelr determined fight against tho third-termer sooner, §. ¢., before the State Convention at Harrisburg, Pa. it would have been of incalculable benoft to Blaine and ‘tw tho object sought to be attained by the ma- jority of the party in Convention now. As It is, Grant was permitted to enter the Convention with flying banners and extremely woll organ- ized forces. However, the proceedings show an abatement in Grant's strongth, and in the dom- ination of the Bosses. It is to be hoped that this may continue. Whether Grant can be nom- inated, will soon be rmoanifest. With the en- forcement of the unit rule he would be_success- ful; without it, he would sink down from the ‘niveau’ of a demigod to the level of all other mortals and candidates; he must then take his chances in the scramble with the rest. ‘These chances might yet be considered as good, pro- vided the syndicate would stick its digits up to the elbow into its pockets; but this is a game that two can play at. In Chicago it will be dem- onstrated whether the Republican party has not Jost all of its vitallty, or whether it is ita destiny to be swallowed up by the ‘Grant party.” EX-LIEUT.-GOV. JACOB MUELLER, OF OHIO, writes to his paper, the Waechteram Erie, ns fol- jows: “We must admit that, notwithstanding the colossal mass of poilticians and strangers congregated here whose opiuions as to choice ot candidates for the Presidency diverge so widely, no rudeness and brutality has so far been ob- served on either sido, either in speech or in action. This is oxcellont testimony for the po- litical ripeness of the American people. On the other side, we cannot deny the fact that the su- Perintive cool and dry behavior of the Amer- ican politicians must very often be ascribed to the want of political conviction, patriotic ear- nestness,moral evergy.and enthusiastic and deep- felt love of liberty. Principle andthe real point at issue are too often sacrificed to the form of technical and mechanteal completencas and por- fection. Outward appenrance, the ‘inte; ment,’ must serve too often to cover tho it ward rottenness and degradation. But no mi ter, they are eminently practical; Iet the sentl- mentulists attend to the theory.” ‘THE NEW JERSEY “FRETE ZEITUNG" SAYS: “Judging from all appearances this Grant movement will prove to be a perfect blessing in disguise-for the Republican party.*It has stirred up the masses to their very depths, and caused an unnsual interest in the Presidential cam- paign. The better elemonts of tho party have castof their lethargy, and are wide awake; true and steady they stand together agninst the common enemy,—the third term and the machine of the Bosses. How the Grantites can escape an utter rout we cannot sce after all that bas hap- poned nt Chicago so fur. And, after this happy result bas been attained, and the Bosses have lost their desperate game. at which they played va-banque,—then farewell to all dictation, dom- ineering, bulldozing, and bossing of the three bad men,—then the wheat is separated from the chaff, and the Repubiican party is saved for many years of useful existenco.” THE “ WESTLICHE POST” is hard on Filey, Rosenblatt, Beach, and part of the Missouri delegation. It says: “Our 3fis- souri delegates, who were elected by Filley, Beacf% and Rosenblatt in such a remarkably nice manner, have recefyed the reward for their services. The following isareport in circula- tion about thom here: ‘One thing is certain, that Filley has made the assertion that he was ropared to throw twenty-two delegates from Missouri over to any side which tho Grantites might indicate.’ What n pleasure it must be to be thrown like a ball, herc and there, by a Fil- ley!” CAPTIONS.

SOUTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS. CoLumsi1A, 8. C., June 2.—When the Democrat- ic Convention reassembled this morning, it be- came at once xpparent that the Gary men had given up the fight, and that no further opposi- tion to the nomination of State officers was con- templated. Much difficuity was found in nomt- nating Presidential Electors, because they were restrained from holding any office of trust or profit within the State.. About fifty names were suggested, and all but the following, who were declared _clected, were promptly withdrawn: William Elliott, J. L. Manning, E. W. Morse, C. By, Simonton, J.S. Murray, Cad Jones, and G. W. Croft. Resolutions were adopted instructing the delegates to Cincinnati to vote for the re- tention of the two-thirds rnle, and presenting the name of Thomas F. Bayard to the attention of the National Convention for the nomination for President. A platform was adopted, declaring unqualified fidelity to the National Democratic party and to the principles incorporated in tho platforms of 1876 and 1878 It also contains promises of economy, eulogies on past Demo- cratic Administrations, and closes with an ap- peal to all good citizens to rally under the Dem- ocratic banner in order to enjoy the blessings of honest Reeeromedt | omiuanons of State one cers were next in order. 1 persons nomi- nated belong to the State-House Ring.
