Tne day for the ho'ding of the republican pational convention fs so close at hand that all specula- tion now as to results seems to be of interest. The excitement is not expected to be renewed until after THE ILLINOIS CONVEN:i0N, Which meets next Wedoesday. The friends of both Grant and Blalve look forward to that convention with a good deal of anxiety, because i" the third-termers are worsted there the car- vas of Geveral Grapt will have received the hardest blow it has yet sustained. THE GRANT MEN, however, feel hopeful, and claim that Il}tno's will instruct for their candidate, and give Ger. Grant fis 42 votes in the Chicago conventior Of the conventions to be held next week the Grant men claim Illinois, with its 42 votes; Ala- bama, with 20 votes; Louisiana, with 16 votes, and have hopes, too, that. Nebraska's 6 votes will be transferred to the Grant column. THE SHERMAN MEN, however, claim that they will have votes in Ala- bama and Louisiana for their candidate. Cor- gressman Davis, of Chicago, says that Grant’s friends will control the Mlinols convention, no matter how the Cook county controversy {s set- tied, but he believes that the 49 Grant celegates will be admitted. The remainder of the repre- sentatives will be given to the anti-third term- ers. “This,” he added, ‘will be an equitable settlement, and nobody will dare to bolt 1t.” THE BLAINE MEN FEEL CONFIDENT and indeed are even boastful. They claim that Grant cannot be nominated on the first ballot, and that two-thirds of the convention will vote for Blaine on the second. This, however, 1s denied by Sherman's friends who think that with Grant out of the way, Mr. Sherman will get the bulk of the Grant vote rather than his friends will allow It to go to Blaine. TALK AROUT THE CHICAGO CONVENTION. Col. Keogh, secretary of the national repub)i- can committée, has gone to Chicago to open the committee rooms of the national committee. It is sald that elther Senator Conkling or ex- Postmaster General Creswell will be the perma- nent presiding officer of the convention. It 15 i that Senator Conkling will present nt’'s Dame to the convention, ana n. Garfield will do a Ike service for Grant Man.

McCULLAGH. ‘The above message carries Its own meaning to most people. To those not as well posted it might be stated that Mr. McCullagh is the editor of the St. Louts @lote-Democrat, the origina’ Grant organ and boomer. Mr. McCullagh also created the word “boom,” as now applied in politics. He bas frequently attacked the figures emanating from Sherman and Blatne heSdquarters in this city, and given publicity in THE Star. Hence the telegram. ‘Tie Star is always ready t9 advance trade and commerce: £0 last evening one of its reporters was sent oul to sce if Mr. McCullagh could be accomme- dated. The reporter showed the telegram to Mr. Knox, at Sherman headquariers. Aft2r a lavgh, Mr. Knox asked how much would be given for the stock and fixtures of the establishment, leavin out the paper with “figures on it.” e_reporter thought that he was authorized to offer as high ‘Too little, and besides we do not want § was the reply. “I suppose the reason McCullagh does not want any paper with Shesman figures on it 1s beeause the true state- ae Of the political situation makes his boom sick.” “T? en We can’t strike a bargain?” “No; instead of selling out we aré preparing to realize on our investnent.

SUDDEN DEATH OF CaIEF Justicg Crvarcn, or New York.—Chiet Justice Sanford E. Church, who died suddenly of apoplexy at his residence at Albion, N. ¥., at 4 o'clock yester- day afterncon, had been slightly indisposed for several days, and Thursday evening complained of feeling quite unwell. He went to his of- fice as usual yesterday morning, writing an opinion. About 3:50 o'clock yesterday after- noon, as he was returning to his office, after Ginner, he stepped into the Orleans Coun! National Bank, and while there was taken wit! a pain in his chest. He was driven to his resl- dence, on State street, and, alighting trom the caniage, went to his room’ without assistance. A physician was at once summoned. Upon his arrival he found the judge in teriible pain, and before medicine could be administered he struggled somewhat, turned slightly purple, fell Over on his side and expired. THis last words were about his pain. Judge Churci was be- loved by all.
