The anti-Grant members of the na- tional republican committee had a caucus last night, at which they dis- cussed the proposition to depose Cam- eron from the cbairmanship, The Sherman interest was oj to such a step, however, and it is under- 00d_a resolution was passed that he should be ipstructed not to recognize the unit rule in. voting on the tempo- rary organization of the convention. 'NEW POLI1ICAL HEADQUARTERS are catablished every day, and they now almost past enumeration.

The heat of political srgument reached the fighting poiut at the Grand Pacific _yesterday morning, one deeply-intercsted and excited party giving the lie to another’s decls- ration that Grant could carry Illinois every time, and was knocked down for "his indiscretion. Both were strangers. Hon. Roscoe Conkling, Senator Jones, Postmas'er Jamer, Hon. John H. Strive and largo purtizn of the New York dolegation, arrived yestor- day eveniag by spocial (rein. H. C.

I do not speak 8o positively from my own per- sonal convictions slone, but from & thorough acquaintance and knowledge of the general feeling and lesning of the country. Yon will find I am cor- rect in saying this” The following members of the nationa! republican committee who have put in an appear- ance at_headquarters ars, Haralson Jewell, Devaus, Scot, Frye, Heath, Averill, Buchenan, Csborn, Chandler, Halsey, Colburn, Enos, Brettre, Clay- ton, Gorham, Crew, Pinchback, Filley, Platt Keogh, Cameron and Cooper, twenty-three out of the forty-six. All except two or three of the executive committee are here. A crulse among the hotsls packed with_delegates to-night shows the presidential questlon to beat fever heat. The Grantites appesr calm and talk very confidently of over 400 votes on the tir-t ballot. Blaine's friends are more excitable, and talk loudly of the strength of their favorite. The Sherman men are quiet and hopeful. Sherman stock appears to be rising, but at the expense of what other can- didate is not yet apparent. The ta'k yesterday was that if Grant is not nomtnated on the first ballot, and it is found he cannot win, a majority of his friends will at once go over to gll)gmm and put him away ahead of 2 D b to sntagonize the Grant element, but do not appear to care so much for ine’s followers. They refuwe to take part in the Blsine demonstration Mondsy night, and refuse to eoter into any combinations. Many Grant men have set their minds upon Grant and Sherman ss the strongest pessbila ticket that could be put in the fleld. Sherman’s mauagers say he will not accept the second place. Tt oppears to be settled that Blaino will not come to Chicago to champion his own cause, buthis beadquarters here are connected by wire with residence in Washington, and he is managing bis campaign at long range. It appears to be well settled that the opposition to Graut will unite on Senator Hoar for permanent chairman and that they will have a Blaine_man for tumporary chairman. The Grant managers have been waiting for Conk- Ing'sarrival before deciding positive- ly who they will put up. They will probab'y select their man quietly to- day. Special Dispateh to The Dec. Crrcaco, May 31, 1 a. m.—The excitement over the convention tense. The city is overflowing with- strangers. Knots of excited politi- cians are in discussion at every turn of the street. The Palmer house cor- ridors are a mass of moving, disputing men, Conkling, at the Grand Pacific hotel, has a private parlor, and is ited by scores of stalwarts. TI evening, when ths agent of the na- tional associated presy called, there were present Senator Jones, of Ne- vada, ex-Lieut. Gov. Woodford, of New York, ex-Congressmen Stewart snd Plait, Gen. Chesten, A. Arthur, Edward Pierrepont,and half a score of otbera. The best of feeling prevai A1l who expressed an_opinion aid that Graot 15 certain of the nomina- tion on the first ballot. The Graut men claim that they know nothing of the attempt to oust Cameron from the chairmanship of the national commit- tee. The report that Pierrepont, Ar- thur, Eugene Hale and William E. Chaudler held a conference Suaday afternoon and sgreed to name s Blaine man for temporary chairhan was do- nied. Horace Porter refused to be interviowed, but eaid Grant was cer- tain to be nominated on the first bal- Iot, and laughed at the idea of any compromise with Blaine, and did not thick Blsine would dare to attempt to depose Cameron. Gon. Porter has teen in close conference with Conk- ling, Aethar and other Grant leaders. gnuridnn Shook and the anti-Grant delegationunder bis lead have opened the headquarters of the central repub- licau club at the Palmer and are doing agocd deal of work in the way of ar- gument. Long John Wentworth made a stump speech in_the Palmer House last evening. Early Sunday morning Blaine and Sherman’s mana- gors had a long conference on the annlion of the unit rule. They had iscovered that an attempt to coerce Cameron on this subject was reacting. against themselves, and Chandler suggested that it wastime to call a halt. After consultation it was de- cided to changa tactics and_ find out what Cameron really iotended to do; the more cspecially as it had been ru: mored that theGrant men had decided to acquiesce in the demands of thean- ti-Grant men concerning the unit rule, the Blaine snd Sherman men were still determined not to permit the enforcement of the unit rule in the organization of the conven- tion, but decided to try di- plomacy. It was sgreed that an anti-Grant majority of the national committee should, at the ‘meeting to-morrow night, offer & reso- lation in substance that it was the opinion of the committeo that the in- dividual opinions of the delegates should be respected in the organisa: tion of the convention. The question of the application of the unit rule should be left to the convention after it was organizcd, as h retofors This determination was afterward commu- Dica'ed to Senator Cameron, who at once expressed his willingness to do so. This being nn)md to Chandler and others, it was further decided that the resclution should be presented at the meeting to-merrow night, and without any refe-ence to Senator Cam- eron, and that after it Wa: should be 2sked to prom Ty out the wishes of the committee. Sun- day aftornoon there was anotber loog conference bstween the Bline aund Sherman leaders, duting which the re- sult of the interviews witk Cameron was considered and the opinion freely expre'sed that thers was something behind the expressions of Senator Cameron—that the Grant men had ssme emare prepered. Thers was nothing to do, however, except to keep a sbarp watch and wait for the meeting of the committee to-night. This will be a most important step in the campaign. The meeting will bo held at the headpuarters of the com- mittee at the Palmer house, and the action wil determine whether the couvention will be turbulent and pro tracted or short and peacesble. All interest centers on this meeting. It is said that an organized effort will b startsd by the anti-Grant men this morning to INFLUENCE WAVERING GRANT MEN in several delegations. The New Jer- sey delezation will meet to consider a eeries of resclutions, agreeing to hold together solidly and vote asa unit againat Grant on all preliminary measures. With this for astart, other delegations ars expected to follow, until all the anti-Grant 1ntere:ts aro combined, and their entire strenfgh known. SHERMAN'S CHAKCES, Gen. Garfield and Gov. Foster atill believe that Sherman has a good chanca of success, especially in the increasing bit'orness of the Grant- Blaine contest. A meeting of all the personal friends of Wasbbarne i all s bas been cilled for Its cbject is to con- sider the possibility of bringing for- ward his name in the eveot of a dead- lock and to deiermine the total strength on which his friends may count, should such a contingency arise. THE GRANT MEETING. The local Graot men are working hard on their big mesting for to-night. Conkling, Logan, Matt. Corpenter, E. A. Storr and probably Stawart L. Woodford will speak. The Blaine men will hold & meeting at the samo time in White-Stocking park, on the oppasite side of the street, the object being to see which can draw the big- gest crowd. It is pretiy well settled that SENATOR HOAR, of Massachusetts, wi'l be the candi- date of the anti-Grant men for per- manent chaiiman, He is scceptable hath £ho Rlaina and Sherman man and leaders of these fictions have agreed t> support him unless some- thing develops to change their minds. The question of temporary chairman- ship has be:n considered a good deal by the Blaine and Shermen men and the merits of ha'f a dozen men discussed. Blalne men are inclined to favor Congressman Conger, ot Michigan, who is an able parliamentarian and ia competent to decide any questions that may arise, bat the Sherman men are are doubt- ful of Conger, #3 he is known to be a Grant man. At this writing i is not known whom the Grant delegates will support for temporary chairman. The Grant mansgers are very reticent as to their intentions on any important uestion, and_decline to say whom they will nominate for officers in the convention, or what Cameron will do RESPECTING THE UNIT RULE. Some politicians are of the opinion that he will acquiesce in the decision of the majority of the national com- mittee, and rule that the unit rule shall not be enforced in the organiza- tion of the convention, that after ho has made this ruling he will recogalze the Grant men, who will appeal from his decision. This would precipitate a test vote at once, as the vote would have to be taken without a debate. If the Grant men are confident that they have an actual majority of the convention, that will be an eaty way to prove their strength and would settle the question of Grant’s nomination as, if successful, he would take over all these doubtful delegates who wapt to be on winning side. _ Others are of the opinion, however, that Cameron will not a test vote, but will hold that the moment h's gravel falls and he calls the convention to ord: The national committee ceases to exist, and that he is no longer bound by its iostructions, and that will rule thst tie unit rule must be en- forced in the organization of the con- vention, and that the instructions of the states can only be set aside by a vote of the convention after an organ- ization is perfected. As a matter of fact 1o one outside of the 1cner circle of the Grant managers know what the real programmo is, and the Blaine and Sherman men are somewhat wary of Cameron’s readiness o acquiesce in the wishes of the majority. HALL ARRANGEMENTS. The national committee’s arrange- ments for seating the crowd in the convention hall Wednesdsy are very complote. Seventy-five special police and fifty-six_patrolmen, under Capt. Greeley, will keep order. _Fifty ush- ers will be furnished by the theatres and thirty more by the Usion Veteran clab. The doorkespers by this club and the telegraph companies will supply pages from their messenger corps. The who'e will be in charge of Gen. Wm. E. Strong and others. o one will be permitted to make any demonstration of approval cr disap- proval during the proceedings of the convention. ~The Hon.
