SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. THE
Springfield Republican has now returns
from TAP delegates, nearly three-fourtas of
the whole number of the Worcester conven-
ton, divided as follows: Wash urne, 394;
Butler, $40, doubtful and contested, 20.
There are $50 delegates yet to be elected,
of whom 45 come from four Western coun-
ties, So from Worcester county and 2S8
from the eastern part of the State, 81 each
from Essex and Middlesex counties, the
former of which is one of Buffers strong
holds. Of 101 delegates to ,ome f ON the
western part of the State, the Republican
estimates that Washburn will have nearly
three. fourths, and of the remaining 258
about 125. As Washburn has now clear
majority of 46, giving Butler every doubt
full vote, the Republican considers him sure
of 100 majority in the conventions; but
it is quite likely to be $50, and may rise to
200.
The Journals returns for delegates to
the convention, so far as heard from at
late hour last night, stands AIS for Wash
burn, 315 for Butler and 80 doubtful.
There are 1913 more delegates to be elected.
BOSTON, Sept. S.--The Republican State
Committee to-day chose Alexander Il. Bull
lock to preside over the Republican Con-
vention and he has accepted.
William CASTOR has been officially mott.
fed of bis nomination for Governor by the
Democratic state Convention and has YER
bally accepted.
Butler Again Bottled.
Caucus results received by the Springfield
Republican, up to one O'Clock this morning,
renders Buffers defeat by decisive major
ity in Wednesdays convention absolutely
certain. OF forty delegates reported to-day
from the western half the State, Washburn
Is thirty, TO Buffers ten; and of 168 in
the eastern part, be has SO, TO " for Butler,
and one contested. This makes the Reptib-
icdn's totals-Washburn SAB; Butler, 4l0;
doubtful and contested, 45. Washburn has
50 majority over Butler, giving the latter
every doubtful vote, and l03 delegates yet
to be heard fIom will surely increase his
majority in full convention to 125, while it
Is propable it will reach 100.

to the Journals returns, stood at IL P NJ.
as follows: Wsshburn, $40; Butler, 1853;

10 O'CLOCK, P. None hundred towns
give Dinglsy, 20,432; Titcomb, 13,949;
Williams, 6S3. Republican majority $50.
The same towns last year gave Perham
32,S17; Kimball, "a, 104. Republican ma
joriiy S,719. This shows that the majority
this year viii probably be II 900 out of an
aggregate of 1000, against a Republican
majority last year of 1857 in vote Oh
127,269. Towns not heard from gave last
Perham, 39,0S8; Kimball, S1,262. The
Republicans last year carried Knox county
for the first time; this year returns indi-
date that the Democrats have carried it.
The Republicans have carried the other
Is counties, though possibly one or more
may be lost on account Of an Independent
tick t. The Democrats carry Bangor on
the gubernatorial votes. The Republicans
have elected their rep esent atives. Els.
worth is reported as going for Titcomb 100
msiority. This seems unlikely .aslast year it
gave Pernsm 56S, and Kimball, $50. Lack
of interest in elections make returns
mesgre.
