Special dispatch to Tus Bsx. Cnicaco, May 31—4 p. m.—The arrivals at the Polmer house this ‘morning were literally too numerous to mention, and at 10 o'clock the clerks wero still busy registering and assigning rooms to fresh arrivals, s0 that at that time it was almcst phys- ical impousibility to get within shout- ing distance of the register, much less to obtain a glance at it. The delegates from Georgis, Alabama and other states came in full force, adding great- Iy to the numerical strength of Grant' forces on the ground. The Alabama delegation, composed of twenty men solid for Grant, took possession of room No. 22, in the Palmer house, and formally opened their headquar- ters. They ssy they are for Grint first, last and all the time, A FORSAKEN BIBLE. Visitors at the republican national headquartera this morning were con- fined mainly to delegates who dropped in to register. Same benevolent party has placed a bible on the center table in the room, but it is very rarely refer- red to by the political army of salva- tion. HE NEBRASEA DELEGATES, Several of the Nebraska delegates arrived yesterday, and there are now on the ground Judge L. Crounte, J. W. Dawes, J. L. %(ilchell, and W. R. Pemsinger. Judge Crounse, who is & warm admirer of Blaine, says the delegation is for the man from Maine, and that it has no second choice; that is if 1t has second choice it don't pro- to tell anybody about it until the Bt chiotos s ut ot U wace, IF uch a contingency should arise. “What is the sentiment of the peo- ple of your state,” asked a reporter; £0 extremely hostile to Grant as has been reported /" I cannot say that it is exactly hos- tile to Grant, but there is a STRONG PREJUDICE AGAINST THIRD TERY, especially among the foreign element which is quite a factor in our politics. Germans heartily espouse the cause of Washburne and insist that he is the coming man. Republican: nerally do not believe Grant to be ¢ most avai'able candidate. They Tecognize the fact that he would en- counter stronger opposition in his own party than any other mwn named for the place, and for that rewcn they ‘want another man.” “In our convention,” said Dawes, “the issue was not raised on the ques- m of hestility to Grant, Blaine was imply a question of preference, and Blaine's friends were in the majority that is sll. Nebraska is for the nominee,and it will give him from 15, 000 to 20,000 majority in November.” “Judge Crounse, how do you think your delegation will stand THE UNIT E!" “I think it will oppose the enforce- ment of that ruleas a messure calcu- lated to engender needless bitterness, and arouse suspicion in the minds of thepeople, thata certain set of men are trying -to prevent frée expression of opinion by arbitrary and unfair use of force, and resort” to party machin- ery. The masses will not relish such business. Theycan not be forced into the adoption ot a distasteful measure, and neither can they be dris pott a candidate they do not like. If are outoumbered and overcome fairly they willsubmit with good grace, but there is prejudice against an; thing that smacks of bulldozing. have Dot consulted together ss to the course we shall pursue in regard to the admission of the ILLINOIS CONTESTANTS, and I have mot wholly made up my mind. It would seem, .however, that congressional districts should bs tted to exercise the right to se- t their own delegates and instruct them. The call of the national com- mittee is an apparent ition of the rights of the districts to act inde- pendently in this matter.” The Nebraska delegates immediate- Iy on their arrival were SEEN BY GEN, LOGAN md invited to enlist in the Grant in considerable minority encomraged the Illinois chieltian to hope that the from that state, though elect- ed as Blaine men, might cast in fheir lot with the I::nfi'el. The general was disappointed at being assured the Nebraska ddwb-:!thn = on no account vote for Grant, bat that if he would withdraw Graot and substilute Washburne he could bave their votes. That looked to the resentative of Jackson county like aaCing foc breed snd geting & Jone. The aczival dusiog the pust it fortye sight bours have beea very arge. Tho L4 noiee and confusion that characterized most of last week in the leading hotels was very mach intensified by these ar- rivals, and probably had more actual significance, for the reason that it was largely contributed to by men who will have something to say in the actual fight. Those central pointa of inter- est, the Palmer and Grand Pacific, were 10 filled up that frequently it was difficult to move about in either, Ca: cuses were almost of momentary oc- currence, caucuses large and caucuse: small, caucuses of large importance; caucuses of none. It was A FIELD DAY, in the widest sense of the term. What was accomplished remains to be seen. The meeting of the national commit- tee, which is to occur this evening, wil tell that story. Toward that meeting all expectations turn. It will bo of the highest importance, snd promises to be aoything but bar- ‘monious. A CONFERENCE of_the representatives of the thres priociple candidates for nominagion took place last night, and lasted five hours. Those who took part were Conbl ng and Logan for Grant, Den: son and Foster for Sherman, and Han- nibal Hamlin and Wm. E. Chandler for Blai The object was to see if all parties could not sgree to & tem- porary organization. After a full ex- planation on the part of those opposed to the unit rule of their position and strength, of which they felt sure, Conk- ling, speaking tor his side, yielded the naming of the temporary chairman to the anti-Graut men, pledging himself that Cameron would carry out this agreement in good faith. This extends to the agreement not to move a substi- tate for the one named by the commit- tee for temporary chairman. The names of George F. Hoar and ex-Rep- resentative Brandige, of Connecticut, will be proposed to the convention to- night. After Conkling had pledged his associates. to yielding the temporary chairman to the anti-Grant men, rapresentatives of the latter took a list of names submitted over to Lo- gan, Cameron and their associates, and they promptly rejected three names submitted by the Sherman and Blaine men— chusetts; ex-Congressman Brand'ge, of Connecticut, and ex-Senator Mitch- ell, of Oregon, and declared they would only accept the name of J. Morrison Harris, of Maryland, sug- gested by Conkling. He was vouched for by the latter as a Sherman man and s against the unit rule. The Blaine and Sherman men will not agres to him, for the reason that for years he had bsen & democrat, and when a candidate for governor de- clared that he owed no allegiance to the republican party. COL. ROBERT INGERSOLL was among this morping's arrivals, and will speak at the anti-Grant meeting to-night. THE UNIT RULE ABANDONED, The latest developments this after- noon indicate that the Grant men will come, Lo the conclusion that it wonld be unwise to make a fight on the unit rule, as it would inevitably be beaten. It is safe, therefore, to say. that the s been abandoned by the unit rale Grant men. CONKLIN There is ramor that if Grant is de- feated in the convention Conklin may be put forward. Ho (Conkling) may putforword Hamilton Fish, who is urderstood to be his second choice. The fight might be hetween Wash- borae, Edmunds and Fish. DOMESTIC DOINGS, Goss and Ryan Again.

The, weather has clearvd} and the meetings will be laigely attended. A party of Blaine delegates made a call at the headquarters of the New York delegation at the Grand Pacific to day, aud gave particular attention to stirring up things with the aim of bringing about a split. The apart- ments quickly became the center of excitement in the house, the head- quarters of other delegations empty- ing thems to flock to Conkling’s parlor. W. R. Browo, of Towa, open- ed the ball against Grant and talked half sn hour, then Senator Farr, of Michigan took up the argament for Blaine, and put in another half an hour trying to win over some of the New Yorkers. A number of others ‘took part, and the scene was very ex- citing, Blaine supporters claim they are breaking up the New York dele- gation. This is emphatically denied by the Graut men, who say they can do nothing to hurt them. Senator Woodin is working for Blaine, and says thirty members of the New York delegation are anti-Grant, and will vote wgainst the unit rule: Colonel Meade, one of the Vermont dele: tion, denies that there isan under- standing ameng members of the dele- gation to chapge the instructed vote for Edmunds to one for Grant, if it is found tbat following insiructions would kil Grant. Col. Meade ssys ““Vermont holis to Edmunds with both hands, and we have hopes well founded and sincerely believe that the issue will develop into a very favorable turn for our man. I cannot speak any more fully or freely of our plan now, but there are prognostications which seem to point to changes in our favor that are now entirely lost sight ot by the many so. intensely absorbed in moves. between the Grant aod Blaine factions.

Mr. Augustas Brandigee was chosen chair- ‘man, and John M. Douglass secretary. The following persons were chosen to represent the delegation at the organ- ization of the convention: On per- manent organizstion, John M. Doug- lass; on credentials, Samuel Feseen- den; on resolutions, H. C. Robiuson; on rules, Daniel Ghadwick; vice pres- 1dent, Jeremiah Olney; secretary, N. Taylor Baldwin. There was some di cussion in regard to the unit rule be- fore the convention, and the delega- tion was found to be eolid against its enforcoment. The delegation will vote for the admission of district dele- gatas for Illinois and other states. The delegation will vote as follow On the first ballot, 8 for Edmunds, for Blaine and 1for Sherman. In the event of Edmunds’ name being withdrawn the Kdmunds men will vote for Washburne.

He saysthat Grant and is as calmas & summer morning. Young is confident of Graut's nomina- tion, and claims that he has 410 votes. He, of course, counts the New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois delegations solid. DETERMINED ANTI-GRANT MEN, The delegations of the national re- fuhlimn league of Pennsylvania, the ndependent Ropublicans of New York and the Young Republicans of Massachusetts met at the Palmer house yesterday morning and elected Wayne McVeagh, of Pennsylvan chairman, and A. Schoenhof, of New York, secretary. A committee ap- pointed to obtain suitable rooms for oadquarters, repoited that they had found quarters opposite the Palmer, at the Windsor house: It was voted that meetings be held each day during the convention, at ten in the morning and four in the afternoon, and that suti-term republicans from other states be invited to attend. ABKANSAS FOR WINDOW SECONDLY. Ex Sonator Dorsey, of Arkaneas, s his state has notgot s far asa second choica, but if there is a break for Grant, Blaine will get some votes, bat Sherman none, snd that the main strength of the etate would go for Windom, as would also Missouri, Ten- nesee, Towa and Mississippi. LOUISIANA AND SHERMAN. Gen. MacMillan of Louisiana says that his delegation will vote seven for Grant, seven for Sherman and two for Blaine, with a probable break for Sherman if he stands a good chance of the nomination. SHERMAN AND THE SOUTH. At the Sherman headquarters there is some bitter talk of the use of Grant money among southern negro dele- gates. Virginis, in case of a break for Grant, will go largely for Blaine. Texas is divided with Grant in the majority, but the Sherman men on that delogation say they will vote for im in deflance of any attempt to en- force the unit rule. Tennessee is eight for Sherman, eight for Blaine and eight for Gravt. Grant men claim _that if he is nom- inated he will get & heavy democratic support in Tennessee, and that the Momphis Avalauche will advocate his election and cacry with it many dem- ocrats. NEW YORK'S BOLTERS. | Two or three attemp:s of the New York delegation to meet during the day failed, but during the afternoon the bolting members completed their plan and put themselves on record af- ter many wesks of talk. Twenty- one of the regular delegates and Mr. E liott the alternate who represents Scroederof Brooklyn, sigaed a pledge that they would not follow instruc- tions and would under no vircum- stances vots in the couvention for Grant. The bolting delegates are Birdsall and Hawkins of the first dis- ; Daggett of the third; Robertson and Husted from the twelfth; Dutcher from the thirteenth;Stivers aud Wales from the fourteenth; Abell from the eighteenth; Dickinson and James from the nineteenth; Wagner and West from the twentieth; Jacobs from: the twenty-first; Doaglas and Sylves- ter from the twenty-second; Woodin and Murray from th twenty-sixth; and Allen and Sessions of the’ thirty- third districts. That one-third of the delegation should join the bolt sur- prised the Grant mea who were pre- pared for @ much smaller defection. The bolters had only an hour previous- ly placed the number they counted on at seventeen, but they now claim that other signatures will probably follow. NEW JERSEY BREAKS FROM BLAINE. The New Jersey delegation organ- ized and carried cat its threat of tal ing astand as a Gnit against the unit rule. They will vote together against the Grant managers on every prelim- inary measure. Theirstand will, how- ever, cist Blaine eight votes in the dolegation on the first_ballot for pres- ident, if the unit rule is abolished and Two _resclations were offered to in- struct Don Cameron to enforce the unit rule, but he refused to_entrtsin either and refused to entertain an ap- peal from his decision.

RAMPANT BOSGOE. Senator Conkling is confident, and says the anti-Grant talk will spend itself before the convention. He says: “Let them talk. We will lie on the beach and bleed awhile, and then get up and fight again.” UNIT RULE BROKEN. The Sherman and Blaine men say positively that the unit rule be abandoned, aod it was asserted last night that Cameron, Logan and Conk- ling had sigaed an agre:ment to that effect. Judge Pierrepont is in favor of dropping the unit rule, and 7e Grant can be numinated better with- out it, and elected much easier. Col. Stantou, of Connecticut, says his state can not be carried for Grant. The Minnesota men are full of talk for Windom, and boast of what he has done for the country as chairman of the committes on transportation. Gen. Tyner says Indiana is the worst mixed up of a'l the states. Matt. Carpenter says Wisconsin will go for any man who is agreeable to other states. MUSIC AND TAFFY. At least twenty b.nds of music and club procestions were parading the streets last night and serenading the diffsrent headquarbers and shouting for their favorites. GOOD TOTAL ABSTINENCE PLEDGE. 1t is claimed by the Grant men that the disaffection of the New York del- egation numbers twelve instead of twenty-one, and that strong efforts are being made to get more to sign the anti-Grant pledge before the meet- ing of the convention on Wednesday. 'NATIONAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE. The republican national committee et last night at 8 o’clock in the head- quertersjof the committee, parlor 27 Palmer House, and began at once the consideration of the important ques- tions which must be settled before Wednesdsy. There was a full attend- ance every member of the committee being present in peraon or represent- ed by proxy. Bafore the committes had been in session an hour the fight oyer the unit rule was precipitated by the motion that the chairman be in- structed to enforca it in the prelim- i organization cf the convention. To the surprise of all not in the secret of the Grant programme Chairman Cameron refused to_entertain the mo- tion, and a lively discussion followed. Without reaching any decision the committee took a reces of ten minutes in order to give ar opportunity for ‘brief consultation. The halls, corridors and lobbies of the hotel were densely packed withpol- sticians and delegates discussing the prospects of the committes’s action.

Carcago, IIL., June 1, 1 s m— The Grant Gemonstia'ion began in Dearborn Park at 8 o'clock, with speaking from two_stands, one on the south and one on the north end. Gov. Beveridge pr sided st the man stand, which was just opporite White Stocking Park, where the Blaine peo- ple wero holding forth. The crowd | 1n front of this stand was e:tiwmated at | 16,000 people. The etind it:clf, au | immense structure, contained sevcral huudred ladies, report. 2, it g speakers, and the dease thr people spread away to the frout, au on each side, as far ay the veice «f the beat speaker could reech. They all packed together as cloce s they could stand. It was a most entnusi crowd, cheering the epeakers, ¢spe- utes befor they coul 1 proceed. Ste- phen A. Douglas spoke bricfly, twi-e at the main stand aad ovce at the other, and declariug strongly for Grant as the ovly republicav who could carry any of the 8 uthern states, and the only one for whom the col- ored people weuld sclidly vote. Senator Logan was the second speaker. He touchel briefly on Grant’s record ss a soldier and pre: dent for two terms. A third term of Graut, he said, meant peace and pros- perity for the country. He said we have s majority of the convention, and we are going to nomirate him. Judge Thurston, of Nebrasks, was the mext speaker, but there was ro ‘much coofusion that he cculd vot be haard, and amid cries for Conkling he sat down. P Mise Mina Wright recited a poem entitled, ‘By the Left Flank,” and the glee club sang “Old Shady."” Judge Houck, ¢f Tenneser, made a speech, eul gizing Grant in general terms. Gen. Stewart L. Woodford d he did not hear any Grant men saying they would not support_the nominee of the coavention. They wers for Grant first, but if the eloquent sena- tor from Maine [great cheerirg] should be nmominated, they would support him; if Sherman sheuld be. the man, bo would recelve the bearty suppott ot all Grast men. g There was_faint applauss at ihe mention of Sherman, but when te went on to speak of why they prefer- red Grant there was tremendous sp- plause, lasting several minuter. The speaker wanted Grant because he could carry New York. When about to sit down there wero cries of, ““Gio on.” Gen. Woodford 1 pre- togo on till we momivate Grant ‘Thursday ; till we elect bim next No- vember, and inaugurate him next March.” The other speakers were Judge Harrison, of Tennessee; Emory tic | B! ixed butchers’, $2 75@8 75; grase, 25@3 00; wintered dr, Texans, §2 eep—Q: fancy, $3 00@4 00.

He denounced the grand lar- ceny of the Lilincis delegation, and declared that Grant, if nominated, :{-;:fomd fo defest. ' His mentiod erence for Blsine provoked pro- longed, applause, Wasburne's name evoked considerable cheering. Blaine men_crowded the grand ttand, and Washburne men wers ear the speak- er. The names of Edmunds snd Sherman were fairly and equally ap- plavded. Mr. Moore argued against the third torm for republican prece- ent. Hon. Fred Hassaurek, of Cincin- nati, declated in opposition to the third term. He wanted a statesman. He is for Sherman but_could vote for Blaine or Edmunds or Washburne. Wayne McVeagh, of Pennsylvanis, awoke much enthusiasm. The political trio of ““borses,” he said, regarded this as plantation where the masters vote for the slaves, and they could domineer over the delegates. Voting by proxy had perished. Lincoln never packed a convention; Sumner nevar gogged a_comslituency. He would never yield to the third term or the unit rule, and to advocate cither ws itical suicide. He preferred Blaine, ut would yield o any acceptable man. The party couldn’t enter the campaign burdened with the corruption of two of Grant's terms and the trickery by whach he might get third. Judge Dittenhoefer, of New York, believed Grant a candidate certain of esttle quiet at §2 208390.
