The peculiar condition of New York attracts moro
And more here tho attention Of both democratic and
republican politicians The importance to each party
OF carrying the State in November great that it is

At present neither party Is harmonious.
The New York republicans have divided into two
hostile camps since tho Cincinnati Convention, each
bitterly and aggrcssivcly hostile to tho other
than before tho Convention. The anti Conkling men
ar" undoubtedly greatly elated at the defeat of Mr.
Conklings aspirations. They recount with chuckle
Of delight tho number and character of Senator Conk-
ling's humiliatons "Hc attained TO 100 votes
In the Convention" they say; he could not pre-
vent rupture in his own delegation, fifteen cigh
teen OF whom had determined to against him II his
nomination should al any time become possible he
openly and bitterly denounced Couve ntion by Mr.
George William Curtis, the common dispenser" Of
patronage In tho State of New York, and, therefore,
the corruptor OF its politics. When he was himself
defeated his friends asked the nomination OF Mr..
Woodford to the Vice Presidency, and this also was

desired his friend Mr.. Cornell to be made chairman of
the National Committee this, too refused 1t is

Committee In Philadelphia the other day letter was
shown to the members In which Mr.. Curtis declared

While Senator Conkling's opponents thus recount

followers have been in town during the last days

IL probable that the Conklng wing will put forward
