CHICAGO, June 3.—The announcement made by Senator Conkling at the Grant caucus, at alate hour lastnight, that Grant could not safely count On more than 305, or perhaps 300 votes, on the first ballot, has had the un- mistakable effect of strengthening the impres- sion that his nomination is now impossible. ENTHUSING THE ANTI-THIRD TERMERS. The fact that Conkling also last night refer- red to Edmunds in glowing terms, including a direct allusion to him as an avaliable candidate in the event of Grant’s defeat, has enthused the anti- Third Termers with the conviction that the Grant leaders are at least giving way before the spectacle of inevitable defeat. THE BLAINE MEN CONFIDENT, A caucus of the Blaine leaders was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel at 9 o’clock this morn- ing, and adjourned at 10 o'clock. The meet- ing was enthusiastic, and Hale and Chandler assured their followers that the man from Maine was certain ot 300 votes on the first ballot. ' FRYE’S IDEAS. To the POST-DISPATCH representative Frye said: Blaine is on the top rail and will get within a few votes of as many as Grant on the first ballot. The Grant men have been de- feated at every point and their candid ones ad- mit it. The fight they made in the National Committee was desperate, but futile. The defections in Pennsylvania and New York were a terrible blow to them, and the primary object of Conkling’s motion on yesterday to ad- journ was to make a last and forlorn effort to close up these gaps.’’ SENATOR CHAFFEE, who is confined to his room with a weak back, but is in active management of the Blaine interest, said triamphbantly, ‘‘The Grant army 18 beaten at every point. CONKLING'S WORK. Conkling, after being up nearly all night, was astir at 8 o clock this morn- ing, and at 9 was in secret consuitation with the Grant men of the New York delegatien. Oonkling admitted to outsiders that Grant’s nomination on the first or second ballot wag out ot the questign; that it would take eight or ten ballots to settle the matter, but that Grant would steadily gain on each ballot and ad receive the nomina- tion. | pn AS A SUBSTITUTE. The absorbing heme of conversation among | —s — all the delegates this morning is the probable substitution ot Edmunds for Grant. There is. a reported break among the Penusvlvanta Grantites in this direction. Cessna, one of the Pennsylvanians, and 6 * devoted follower ot Don Cameron, was at the Indiana headquartérs this morniog and offered confi- dentially to follow the Indfana delegates if they sald lead off for Edmunds. THE INDIANA VOTE. The Indianians, however, are enthusiastic fo. Blaine and, braced up by the apparent gap. in the Grant ranks, express an unshaken confidence in the triumph of their favorite. At a meeting held at ga. m. tne vote of the delegation stood 25 for Blaine, 2 for Sherman, 2 for Grant and 1 for Washburne. \ THE MISSOURI BREAK. \ It is freely asserted that a canvass just made : among the Missouri delegates shows eight ready to desert Grant when it is shown that a successful com- bination can be made on another candidate. This statement of the situation is denied among the Missourians, who still claim to be solid for Grant, with the exception of McZClos- key from the Ninth District. It is certain, how- ever, that Filiey has stated that he is prepsred to turn over twenty-two delegates in whatever direction the Grant managers may indicate. A similar proposition has also been eu Emory Storrs. STORRS WEAKENS. In conversation with a Post-DISPATCH rep- resentative this morning, Storrs said that he was not prepared to deny that Grant’s chances were not as good as they were a few days ago. The manner in which the unit rule was being menaced was an undisguised peril to the Grant strength, and the temporary or- ganization and the mannerin which the com- mittee had made up were all against him. He also thought the Grant vote might fall even below the estimate made by Conkling, and probably would not exeeed over two hundred aud eishty. Nevertheless be was quite certain that Grant’s triumph was assured, but it would be by a slow and hard- fought battle, and not a quick and brilliant victory. DENOUNCING THE BLAINE METHODS. The Grant men are loud and unstinted in their denunciation of the means employed by the Blaineites to secure accessions to their ranks, and freely charge that Jay Gould’s money is playing a formidable part among the delegates from the South. $30,000 WOULD NOMINATE GRANT. Collector Rosenblatt, who isan acute ob- server here, said to-day: ‘‘lf the Grant men had $25,000 or. $30,000 they would be all right. Tnere is only one Grant leader bere who nas any money, and that is Don Cameron. Conkling as little, Logan is poo Ee never had any money. The Blaine men are rich and are undoubtedly backed by capitalists with deep purses. It looks very much as if the man 18 going to win who is able to buy the most delegates from the South.’’ The intimations containedin Mr. Rosenblatt’s re- mark are a fair indication of all the Grant people say on the same sub- ject. Most of the Southern delegates here are notoriously poor, and it is a fact that many of them yesterday sold the extra tickets of ad- mission which were given them by virtue of their being delegates. THE MISSOURI PROSELYTIZERS. The committee of Missourians appointed by the Grant caucus last night tocirculate among Anti-Third Term men for proselyting pur- poses have been at work all morning, but do not appear to have made much progress at the various State hehdquaiters. It was reported that all offers of compromise on Grgnt would be spurned to the last, and that the. efforts of Conk- ling, Logan and Cameron to rally converts in this -way would be utterly. vain. Eugene Hale asserts that Blaine will get more votes than Grant on the first ballot. The convention was called toorder at twenty minutes of 12. THE BIG FIGHT will now commence on the reports of the Cre- dentials Committee. Chairman Hoar has just announced, in reply to a question of Conkling, that the Committee on Credentials will not be abie to report before 4p.m. THE MOB PRESENT. The Convention was opened by Chairman Hoar, who requested all present who were not delegates to withdraw from the space allotted to the various delegations. This request had to be repeated several times, and finally it took the services of sever- al sergec.nts-at-arms, who drove out the crowd that had taken possession of the aisles, and that seemed determined to stay until put out. The seating capacity of the ball is 10,000, and every seat is taken. On the outside of the building a mob of 20,000 people is assembled. vainly endeavoring to gain entrance. The convention was opened by prayer and then the roll-calkwas proceeded with. Itis ex- pected the entire day will be consumed by the hght over Illinois and other delegations. Long majority and minority reports will be presented. SEATING THE ANTI-GRANT ILLINOISARS. — It seems now quite certain that the majority reports will be adopted, giving eighteen it got twenty anti-Grant delegates from Illinois. A TEST VOTE COMING. Conkling made a motion to take a recess until 6 o’clock this afternoon and await the re- port of he Oredentials Committee. The Blaine men are opposed to this, and Eugene Hale is {CONTINUED UN FOURTH FaGE.j ) ; | CRUMBLING AWAY Grant Losing Votes in Every Direction. Garfield Locming Up As Dark House.

CHICAGO, June 3, 4:30 v. m.—The interim between the adjournment at 1 o clock and the reassembling at 5 is being industriously utilized in the active work of eanvassing among the various State delegations where the opposing factions hcpe to make converts. THE SOUTHERN DELEGATES GO OVER TO BLAINE, The shaky delegates from the South, and there are many of them, are the special ob- or urtentten on the part of the Blaine Missourians, who report that Grant has lost at least twenty five Southern delegates to- day, that will be transfered to Blaine on or be- tore the first ballot. LOGAN'S CLAIM, Gen. Logan says this is all brag on the part of the Blaine men, and Pinchback declares tha the colored delegates trom the South will stand firm for Grant until the last. THE COLORED HOPE. The colored people here are flattering them- selves with a belief that Senator Bruce hasa fair chance for the seconc]place on the ticket, and many of them, inc:uding prominently J. Milton Turner declare the negroes must bave the Vice-Presidency or bolt. Immedi- utely after the adjournment to-day a meeting was held in Bruce’s room in the Palmer Louse, and thortly after the hotels were flooded with a vast number of circulars appealing for a recogni- tion of the colored statesman’s claims. The Bruce managers assert that they bave been promised substantial support from Obio, Iowa and many Southern States. THE COMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS, The great interest is now centered on the forthcoming report of the credentials commit- tee, which ishow nearly ready and which will according to the order of business be the first subjectto claim the convention’s attention this afternoon, THE STRUGGLE TOI PRECIPITATED. The presentation of the report will precipi- tate a struggle that will be long and bitter, and that will af- ford an excellent opportunity for a measurement of the full strength of the Grant and anti-Grant element. Although many mat- ters of importance were substantially agreed to in the committee at an early hour to-day, no formal vote was taken till half-past three this ..fternoon on the matter of con- tested delegations. At that hour it was announeed from the committee room that a motion had been carried by a vote of 34 to14 to report in favor of admitting the contestants from nine Lilinois Congressional districts. In the Second Illinois District the claims of ‘the contestants were rejected. : GRANT LOSES EIGHTEEN VOTES. The result ot this vote ie a net gain of eighteen votes for Blaine and Washburne and a corresponding loss to Grant in the contested cases. PROFIT ABD Loss. From Kansas the report favors the admission of the Grant delegates. A gain of two for Grant in the two contested cases. . From Alabatus tne report favors the ad mis - sion of Gov. Smith and Senator Warner. A loss of two to Grant. Nothing authentic is so far known as to what recommendation will be made in the contests from Louisians. _ A MINORITY REPORT. There will be a strong minority reper? trem | — — 1 * the credentials committee, and it is under - stood that Logan and Conkhug are pluming themselves for grand oratorical efforts in up- port of it. Frye, of Maine, is announced to speak in behalf of the majority report. THE ANTI GRANT ORATOR. So far he has proven to be the only orator of the anti-Grant side who is able to make himeelf heard, and in a spirited repartee with | Conkling this morni: g did not come ont second best by any means. GARFIELD, THE DARK HURSE. . The air is full ot rumors concerning the dark | © borse, but thus tar the current does not seem 75 to be pointing strongly to any particular fa- vorite. Garfield is perhaps the prominent possibility. As early as yesterday morning bis friends put a Garfleld movement under way and there are indications that it will under the proper contingencies find great favor. - CHEERING GARFIELD. The matter was treely discussed last night and early this morning. and at noon, When ‘ Garfield entered the convention Wall, the N feeling of the numerous delegations as well as occupants of the lobby was sixuifleaut - ¥ ly voiced by the tremendous, long-contluned a 4 and repeated applause which shook the * building, When Garfield rose to make 3 a statement with reference to the work of the. Committee on Rules, of which he js chairman. the saine enthusiastic demonstration followed. LOUISIANA. The Committee on Credentials reached the case of Louisiana but did not take it up and adjourned till 6 p. m. It is the impression now that the committee will not be ready to report until to-morrow morn- * ing, and thut in the meantime the convention . | can do no business of importance. a The Evening Session, Special to the Post-Dispateb. CHICAGO, May 3, 5:40 p. m.—The convention was called to order by Seuator Hoar at 5:30p. m., and Henderson, of Ios a, announced thatthe Committee on Credenttals was not ready to report, and went on to move that the Com- mittee on Rules be requested to make its re- port. As soon as Henderson took bis seat, Logan arose amid some excitement, and objected to anything being done until after the Committee on Credentials had reported. He claim ed that the convention could nos proceed until it was decided who the deie “2 gates were, and said that the nghtful delegateg =~ ¢ t are the only ones who can make the proceed- ings legitimate. Logan’ s speech had the usual effect of * arousing the enthusiasm of both sides and he © sat down amid considerable applause. « REV.
