SHERMAN FAR IN THE LEAD. Continued from First tho rigid examination they will undergo at the hands of the Committee on Contested Scans. The Mahonc delegates from the Congressional districts make the argument, in their briefs that, they were elected according to laws of the Republican party's organization in Virginia, that they were elected under a call issued by thc lie publican State Committee of Virginia, that the call of tlie Republican National Committee specified the man? ner and the way of their election, but not the place ami that it was ns permissible to elect them in Petersburg, where thc State Convention wrns held, outside of their Congressional districts, as it was within their dstrcts. The Mahonc brief states also, thnt the party plan of organization has this clause in it: It (the State Committee! aimil fix the time und place of all State and Con? gressional conventions of the party, and prescribe thc of delegates and alternates for each county and city of the State, and thc mode of electing the same to such conventions." Thc Ma hone brief argues thut at the district conventions at which thc unti-Mnhone delegates wire elected the various Republican counties wera cot fully represented. The brief further says: While a conspicuous member of the National Committee, Mr.

Clarkson, says that thc sub-com? mittee ol thc National Committee which framed the call considered the district delegate question and so framed the call that States which had been ju the habit of selecting all delegates at one gather? ing could continue to do so, no demurrer, we sub? mit, is admissible, because our district delegates have been ippointcd by district convention, at one gathering, at the same place and on the same day ns was held our State Tho brief of John S. Wise, John P. Lewis, S. M. Seal and other unti-Mahonc Republicans opens with I Intter attack upon General Malmne.

lt Mys: "Powers vested in the State chairman (Mallum i under the thin disguise of a grant to an eiitivo committee composed of himself and two Others, and the power vested in lum to organize all Stats conventions and name their temporary eliaiimcii. have really placed our jwrty for years completely in the hands and power of its chair? man, whenever he might see fit to exercise all the fnnetions wit li wine li be traa vested. It would be idle to review thc history of thc Republican party in Virginia for thu past four years with a Mew to showing whether the chairman lias or has not brought into lull play the extraordinary powers conferred on him hy that plan of organi? zation so Bl to manipulate imrty action according to Ins will. Beany voter of the Rcpuhlican party bas at one time or another realized by something that has happened in his own neighborhood tba! too power of the State chairman was greater than the power of the people, and the will of tte Stile l'hairman, backed by the State ma fhinery of organization, stronger than the will of any number of the people. A deep-seated and wiilespnading feeling of servitude lins galled the Republican masses.

Glowing discontent, not only among ihe leaders, but the.masses, has un? doubtedly existed. The promulgation of a secret circular sent out by the chairman (Mahonc) of our party in the month of July last brought nil those, growing more distinctly to a head than rvcr before. It showed to the Republican voters of Virginia that while they had been awaiting the time when they should meet and confer and choose delegates to Chicago to vote for the candi? date of their choice, the chairman of party had been secretly arranging to secure delegates to Chi? cago to vot" for the candidate of Ids choice. It nanni! the candidate of his choice nnd Baked BBBsBt BBOC fox him. Even the friends of the Presidential candidate in whose interest he was attempting to Brenn the Virginia delegation did not approve his method of BeeompHshins it, and friends of the eligible candidates wt re justly Indignant, those of thc Hon.

James G. Rlainc, who tiuin. rous in this State, for the circular se rretly assailed Mr. Blaine in the most violent way. f'iihlic expression at thc discovery was moderate, nit public feeling was widespread, deep and itidin nniit.

In the elections for delegates to the State mid district conventions all oana the State, wher? ever the county or city chairmen were in accord with the views of the State being his nppointeca they were his advocates in a great majority of the counties and whole Inflames iras thrown in his favor in thc way thc meetings were called and held nnd certified. INSTANCES OF TIfF. AIUUTKARY DBI OF POWF.R, In some instance, under the powers vested by thc plan of organization, he removed obnoxious chairmen nnd placed in their places, on the eve of the election of delegates, others in accord with himself. The mist conspicuous instance of this sort of conduct was in the County ot Shenandoah, where the old chairman was removed three days before the county convention was to meet and a BOW chairman appointed. The Republicans of the were so indignant that they refused to i tgaiaa his call, and Baaraahlod under the call of tbs dd chairman.

Ycl tii'- few who met with BBB new chairman were recognized and seated, while the great body of thc Republicans of the county, headed by a United States Senator, were excluded beennes not in accord with the views of the State Chairman." Tin- brief then goes on to say that Mr. Wisc bia find that tho State Convention had been paokad by Mahonc with Mahone ly tba profess d-scribed above, withdrew from tba State Convention, formed a truly Re pub)ican organization, elected four delegates-at large, and sci on foot a movement which led to the cleeiiou of delegates to tho National Con? vention in nil the Congressional Districts of Vir? gil.ia, except two. at separate conventions held in thc several Congress mia 1 Districts. The National Committee held a secret meeting to-night, and near midnight, aft long debate, adopted the report of tho sub-committee just as it stood. The Mahonc delegate-at-large and the dele? gates from the 1st and IVth Congressional Districts of Virginia were put on the roll, and all other dclo BBtfla and contestants were merely admitted to wats bb thc lloor and were given no vote.

A mo? tion in the committee to admit nil of thc Mahone delegates was defeated by a vote of 18 to 20. SHERMAN STRONG IN l'KNNSYLVANIA. THIRTY-TWO 1)1 I li.A 1 ES PI.KBGKD TO FlTLKK'S DEVoTKT) FIVK. Chicano, June 18 to New-York there is no State thc action of whose delegation is forward to with greater interest than Penn? sylvania, hs sixty votes will necessarily have great weight in thc Convention, even though they do not come 1 rom a doubtful State. Senator Quay, who arrived here yesterday, lias alrt-ady announced thal thirty-two of ilie delegates are pledged to Sher niau.

What effect his missionary Avork among the remaining deli gates has had since that an? nouncement, was made is not known, though his friends assert that, he has succeeded within the sBwaayfl in grining over to the Sherman ranks fight more ot thc delegates, and that the prospects me good for winning in addition to this numlxr ahout five or six nure on the second ballot. As? suming that Mr. Sherman can count upon thirty two votes from Pennsylvania, it would still leave twenty votes to be distributed among other candidates. Of this number seventeen are unknown (BBbtitsffa. 'J heir preferences are merely a mat? ter of surmise and speculation.

The. remaining eleven are decided, six for Gresham and live for Mayor Pitier, of Philadelphia. Ail come from the sttf of Philadelphia, and are to be sub? ject more or less to the control of James McManrs. The six delegates, including Mr. McManes, who favor Judge Gresham's nomination arc Congress? man Bingham.

Edwin S. Stuart, Henry Clay, John Hunter and Charles A. Porter. Mr. McManes in? clines strongly toward Gresham, but does not ojxnly advocate his nomination.

Edwin S. Stuart docs. Ihe live men who constitute the Pitier forces are W. R. Leeds, the dclegnle-at-large from Philadelphia, Hamilton Disstou, David H.

Lane, Thomas W. South and David Martin. The two hist named enjoy the distinction of being the first to start the Fitler movement. Mr. Lone is understood to regard the movement" as a hope? less one, though ready and prepared with his four colleagues to east a complimentary vote lor Mr.

Fitler. Mr. McManes is more politic. He does not say that he will not cast a complimentary vote for Mx. Fitler, and he does not admit that Mr.

Pitier cannot be nominated, thereby leaving his hands free to give Mr. Pitier a permanent support, while the originators of the Fitler movement are record Bl willing only to cast a complimentary vote lor their man. The whole Pitier talk strikes people hen- as highly ludicrous, und is regarded by most only as a ruse on the part of McManes to hold the delegation from Philadelphia, where be has piidjjmuted sway, together aa against Quay, who controls the rest of the State. This does not necessarily indicate a quarrel, nor even a difference of opinion, between thc two Pennsyl? vania leaders. On thc contrary, both their in? terests nc in the aame direction: but, it does give some color to the statement made that Mr.

Quay's support of Sherman is not sincere, and thal he was into it nt the roqBBlt of Don Cameron, whose wife is a niece or Senator Sherman. Ont; of the Philadelphia delegates who favor Judge Gresham's nomination has in his possession a letter written by the Judge a month or two ago, in which he declares himself to be a strong be? liever in protection. The letter, it la expected, will be given to the public at the time. The Pennsylvania delegation will probably nut arrive here until Sunday night. JOHN D.

LAWSON FOR DEPEW. HOPING THAT THE DF.LEOATION WILL CAST A SOLID VOTE. Chicago, June 1.1. D. Lawson, of New-York, sometimes called by the New-York boys in on affectionate manner Sitting Ruir Lawson, arrived here this morning from New-York.

He is the New-York member of the Republican National Committee. Upon arriving, he went to work at once to learn what that committee was doing. He said to a Tribune correspondent: This is my sixth consecutive attendance at a National Convention as a delegate, I first came in 1803, and as I am seventy years old I doubt if I nttend another. At Pcekskill I was glad to seo Chauncey M. Depew board the train.

He travelled with us as fur as Syracuse, where he had an engagement to give one of his addresses. Ile had forgotten his promise, to deliver it; but the lady to whom he had made the promise reminded him of it and would not release him when he tried to get excused. Ile said that he would be here tomorrow night I think Mr. Depcw will receive the unanimous support of the New-York delegation for President. Nine-tenths of thc New York delegation are for him and it will bc un infernal shame if the other tenth is withheld from him.

But I guess they will all vote for him. We must have him, for he can carry New-York State, nnd there are few men who can. It is a peculiar State and it needs a certain kind of man to carry it. Mr Depew is Banally strong in New-Jersey and Connecticut, from the circulation of New-York newspapers in those States and from the that thousands of the citizens of those States work daily in New York City and are subject to its it fun ces. We have got th" Demo? crats on the run on this tariff question and we shall certainly sweep New-York, New-Jersey and Connecticut if we nominate Mr.

Depcw, The New-York delegation will hold a meeting on Mon? day night and they will then resolve to cast their seventy-two votes for Mr. Depcw." AN ARMY MOVING ON CHICAGO. THOUSANDS TO VISIT THE CONVENTION SURROUNDING STATES. Chicago, 15 before havo so many candidates been In the field with constituencies In eloso proximity to the place where the conventlcrn waa to be held. Iowa.

Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, In? diana, Illinois, each a candidate to present and each will give its candidate such moral support as may be aupposed to bc Inherent In a crowd ol camp followers ready to march behind a brass band and under sundry flsgs In the streets during the day and make night, hideous with their shouts or bloch up the corridors of hotels. All this pointe to unprecedented by Sunday or Monday next and tn a week of misery, should tba convention last long and their money liold out. Fortunately, Chicago has ample for such an Influx of strangers ls not, like St. Ixuils, dependent upon extortion as a means of making a living. The railroads have anne everything In thedr power to put a trip to Chicago during tho convention within the reach of the pock? ets of any who care to coma.

The excursion rates from the States already mentioned probably do not average more than HCt, and where special trails have been engaged the rate may be even lower. General Alger's friends have hired three special trains, and expect to ijuaiter about 1000 men In ono of Chicago's big ar? mories. The Allison men from Iowa will be here In full force. From Wisconsin men are coming to shout for Husk. Indiana clubs have engaged quarters In different pails of the town.

A call benn 's sued for the.surviving members id the 4th Division of the 17th Army Corps, Armv of the Tennessee, to meet here on This ls the division com? manded by Judge Greabam during the war, and the rall may bo expected to bring here thousands nf vet? erans. The 4th Division included the 2J)(1 Bal Indiana, the 14th. 15th and 32d Illinois, the 11th. 13th, lath and 10th Iowa Regiments, and the? ist Minnesota nattery. From Ohio a number of unl formed clubs are corning, and Illinois may safely be depended upon to scud Its proper yuota to the gather lng.

CONNECTICUT BALLOTS NOT PLEDOKD. ITS HTR8T VOTE WILL BF. FOR ItAWLEY-A TALK with n. SPFitirr. New-TTaven, June IS Connecticut delegation left this city for Chicago to-ulght.

X. Sperry, the leading Protectionist of the Stale, and Samuel Fesser.den, secretary of tho National Committee, are the leaders of tba delegation. Mr. Fessenden ls already In Chicago. Just beforo taking tho train Mr.

Sperry said: "Our delegation has not met since our organization nor havo I any of thc members slnoo the publi? cation of maine's Paris letter. It ls, therefore, Im? possible for me to voice the sentiment of the Con? necticut deiepatlori or give you any Idea of Its plans. Very likely tho votos of this Slate on the first ballot will bo cast for General Hawley. This will bo done as a real, earnest endeavor to secure his nomination, lt ls also very likely that the Connecticut gatton will cast Its ballots for Senator Platt. In case Xcw-York and Xew Jersey are strong for Depew, then it ls possible that this llttlo State pf ours will cheerfully follow suit.

However, lt ls my Impression that the nomination will go to a Western man. If there ls a strom; and persistent contest between the Harrison and (Jit-sham forces, then I would not be tba lease surprised If the Convention should look toward Michigan and select Alger. Iilalno is positively out of tba laco. "If th" candidate for President ls a Western cl vlllan. then lt looks to me as If th" aeeond place on tho Republican National ticket -will bo given to our General Hawley."
