Correspondence OF the N. Y. Times.l
Massachusetts, Republican State Con-
yention.

There 10 II deal of uncertainiy about the
aciion Of the republican convention At
Worcester next Wednesday, and there are
very marked feelings of uneasiness among
the republicans, especially those who are
claesed as politicians. 1t is admitted that
the democrats have put strong ticket in
the field, and in good shape, and IL is felt
Jhat the republicans, 10 offset it, must do
their best in the way of nominations. That
iris best viii not be done is the fear.
The campaign has been conducted by
many Of the party papers in very impoli-
TIC manner, aud tie result has been a
widening of the breach between the fac
firms of the party, rather than healing of
lIWound.. 1t was realized at the opening of
| he campaign that only through the union
ot the whole party on strong candidate
for governor could the state he brought

The same objections are urged ms against
Mr.. Rice. But he has the support OF some
Of the shrewdest operators and managers in
the party lines, and these are the men who
ate working in his interest. Others will
have their friends In the conventions. With
in few days the name OF Judge Colt of
Pittsfield. has been mentioned as one who
would call 10 himself the support, at least,
of the delegates from the western part of
the state Judge Devens has been again
urged to run, but he positively declines,
and ex.Gov. Bullock, and Gen. Bartlett,
the candidate for lieutenant governor on
the democratic ticket, have been spoken
Of. But the only substantial movement il,
at the present lime, entirely in the interest
of Adams.
The Loring men propose to have a much
larger number of delegates determined TO
vote for their candidate, and they declare
their determination TO stand by him to the
end. His friends also believe that many
OF the uncOmmitted delegates can he
brought Ia vote for him. when they realize
his strength, and that they can overcome
both the Rice and the Adams forces. Mr.
Rice has been mportuned to withdraw by
mauy Influential republicans within the
last day or two. and 1t is not unlikely that
he will before the convention assemblies.
though his friends at present declare their
intention TO stand as firm as DR.. Loring's.
The friends Of both these candidates have
their headquarters in this city, and III csc
are crowded daily. Both put out bulle-

as they are chosen, which are remarkable,

EVENING.
Assault with Intent to Kill.

About one o'clock Sunday morning, as
Edward Clark, of st. Adams, q fireman on
the Central Vermont railroad, was passing
the house of Mr.. Leonard on his way
home, some unknown person, probably
with murder and robbery in his mind,
jumped out from behind tree, ard dealt
Mr.. Clark stunning blow with heavy
club across the face which staggered him
against the fence. The ruflian threw down
the club and grappled with Clark with the
intention of throwing him down, but here
he was foilei aud in the struggle Clark got
the better of him and both fell on to the
sidewalk with Clark on top. The fellow,
however, succeeded in getting away and
took leg bail Immediately. Mr. Clark on
reaching home had his wounds dressed,
and though for time he suffered from the
blow he has recovered sufficient TO be able
to be about. The night was so dark that
he was uuableio recognize his assailant,
AMI no steps have been taken to look up
the matter. ND NFii'i.
