ORGANIZATION AGREED UPON.
Sperfal Dispatch to the ". Y. Tribune.
WORCESTER. Mass, Sept 49,
Ii ia now generally admitted that the vote
lies between Rec, Loring, and Adams. The on
ly compromise candidates whose names are
heard are Judge Colt of pttsfed good lawyer
and popular gentleman, now on the Supreme
Bench, aud Gen. W. L. Bartlett, the Democratic
Candidate for Lieutenant Governor. There is
no organized movement, however, in favor of
either Of them. IL iB stated that Gen. Bartlett
will not accept tho Democratic nomination, If
Mr.. Adams heads the Republican ticket, and
that he is disincned to oppose Mr. Rice, but he
will fight pr. Loring first, last, and all the time.
AS to the probs Bile vote on the first ballot, to-
morrow, there is great uncertainty, but the fol-
lowing estimate is obtained from those who
have carefully canvassed the field Rice, $50 :
Loring 300 Adams, $50; scattering, 800. There
is little speculation about the subordinate places
on the ticket.
At the meeting of the State Central Commit
toe tonight it was stated that in view of his can
didacy for Governor, DIR. Loring, the Chairman,
had declined to call tile Contention to order, aud
would not be in the city Tomorrow. 1t was de-
termined therefore, that this duty should de-
Journal, and that there shall be no temporary
organization. For permanent President, Vice
President Wilson was named, according to pre-
vious understanding. .
Mr.. Dawes s the Chairman OF the Committee
on Resolutions, and the work of framing the
platform will be committed particularly to him
and Mr. George r. Hoar. Vice President Will
sons speech, on taking the chair, will be in strict
accord with the spirit Of his recently-published
letters on the condition and policy of the Repub-
lican party. Mr.. Wilson is credited with the
prediction that with Charles Francis Adams at
tho head of the ticket the Republicans will sweep
the State by 30, 900 majority.

THE OUTLOOK OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DEFEAT
OF THE RING, WITH ITS cANDIDATEs-MEETIsos
IN BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 49,
The american, this morning, says: All the in
dcations for the success of the Reform cause are
growing better both in the city and State. We
have news to-day OF the nomination of Reform
ticket in Dorchester county, and the probability
s that the opposition to the Ring will take the
same shape in Carroll county. The Allegheny
Democrats have followed the lead Of their Wash
ingtoh county friends i'll demanding that ''re-
form within the party" which always is to be and
never is. The action Of these two Coun-
ty Conventions, coupled with the
banishment Of Mr.. Carroll from the
stump in Washington county for fear that his
indiscreet speeches would imperil the chances of
the local ticket,are significant signs Of the weak
moss Of the Ring campaign.
For the bright prospects OF the Reform move-
ment we have only to look at the determination
Of the Merchapts' meeting last night, the telling
speeches of Messrs. Harris, Warfield and Porter,
and the superb letter written by Mr.. Wallis.
The Reform ticket is, with some slight excep-
tions, endorsed, and We have right to believe
that the great power that belongs to this move
ment Of the merchants will be thrown in its ia
vor. The friends OF reform have good reason
to take courage, for all the signs OF the times
point to defeat of the Ring corruptionists and
and tax-eaters.
REFORM NOMINATIONS ON THE EASTERN SHORE.
In Dorchester county ali Independent ticket
has been nominated, as follows :: House of
Delegates, u. s. Waters, Republican,, VIM. s.

TIMoRE.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 20.
Mr.. Carroll was yesterday hastily summoned
from the Western part of the State back to this
city. In explanation OF this sudden movement
it is stated that the meeting was postponed be-
cause tho farmers were engaged in putting in
their seed wheat, and it was not good time to
get crowd together. The explanation is consid-
cred to be very thin, since il that is the reason,
the meeting should come off now rather than la
ter, when the season for seeding is nearly over,
and the cutting of the corn has not yet begun.
The true reason is said to be that Mr.. Carroll's
canvass has been so weak that the effect of his
quotations from the G0zette and his remarks on
the politics Of 1854, WAS feared in Washington
county,wh the Democrats want to hear some
thing more to the point.
