ST. PAUL, MINI, May 23-l0:3o p. u1.-A
majority Of the delegates to the Republican
State Convention tomorrow arrived by the
evening trains. The general talk indicates
la,gc prrpondcranrc for Dla!ne, hut little dis
position to instruct delegates or require thcm to
vote as unit. Young Republicans opposed to
the former leadership Of the party in Minnesota
arc numerous, and claim they could control the
Convention
IN CAUCUS
this evening ttey agreed, however, to cornpro-
mise upon e1-Gov. Davis and ex-senator Ramsey
as leaders OF the delegation to Cincinnati, with
tho remainder divided among several local
interests. So fur this proposition IL IA
yorub!y received. Should II prevail In con-
yention, the Cincinnati delegation Will be ai1
tevcn for nlalne. with two or three for Brlttow
and one for WnshbuFnc. It may yute a. unit fut
UlaIue on the Initial ballot, bnt
EACH DELEGATE WILL DE FREE
TO exercise hls own Judgment; and. according to
the talk night Will he expected not to sacrifice
party intcrcsta to sny personal preferences. Even
the strongest Blaine men say they prefer the dele
gates ahould consult With other States. and not bt
loo strongly committed to any candidate. Ths
proposed Compromise between the Davis and nom.
sey men would certainly heal all division in ths
pQtty In tllIs State.

Pennsylvania for Blaine.

- A
AT a meeting OF the Pennsylvania
Republican Association in Washing
ton, held last week, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resofred, Tha, MS the opposition
newspapers nav frequently said that
the Republican party cannot elect to
the CHIEF magisiracy of the country
any person outside of the pale of mil
itary life, we tuke this means OF
showing our confidence in the intelli-
gence and stability of the great ma
jority of the American people; and rs
the Hon. J. q. Biain" has shown his
ability As II fearless and intrepid
statesman, verbattiing Tor the right,
and crushing treason, that we hereby
make known to the republican NOM
mating convention, to meet in Gin
einnatiin June next, that the Hon.
James G.. Blaine, of Maine, is u
choice for president of the United
States in 1876.
Resoired, That this association does
heartily endorse ex Speaker Blaine
and Others in the position taken, and
the noble defense they made in oppo-
sition to the general amnesty bill
pending in the house.

Here is another story from WASH
ington There is rebel door-keeper
whose duty il is 10 hoist the flag over
the House, which designates whether
that body is in session. The mem
cries of the glorious past are so over
mastering to this faithful devotee OF
the lost cause that he will not raise
the flag In person; that duty is per
formed by a negro at ten cents a day.
When 1t comes 10 lowering the flag
the Confederate performs that proud
and grateful office himself. The sub
ject Is said to worry the Speaker.

a Good Straightforward Word for Grant

From the ST. Louis Republican tDemocrat.)J
There has been another revival of
the foolish story of a difference be-
tween President Grant and Secretary
sBfistow, and a -rumor' is, for some
purpose, being uoised abroad thar
when the whisky trials in ST. Louis
are finishcd-io-wit, in a week or ten
days-ihe President designs di-pla-
cling not only Secretary Bristow, but
all the officers, Including District AT
torney Dyer, who have had any hand
in the prosecutions. There cannot be,
there j. not, a particle of truth in n
gossip of this kind. Had the Presi-
dent not favored tho "raids" it would
have been a simple matter to him to
have prevented them. The time for
removals, II at all WIS when the sub
ject1pf the frands was fresh. and be-
fore the pubic mind had become in

-Four State elections occur between
now and April o. On the 10th of this
month Texas will vote for Governor
and other State officers. A vote will
also be taken on the new Constitution.
If it is defeated, the vote for State OIL
fieers would be void as the present In

New Hampshire will hold its annual
election for Governor, Railroad Com.

April 8, and Rhode Island April 5.

Gen. Ord has been before the mill

Gen. Ord has been before the mill
tary committee of the House of Rep
resentatives, in regard 10 the transfer
of Indian Affairs to the War Depart
ment, and was inclined to think that
the project was not advisable. Gen.
Sheridan is going before the commit-
tee to-day. having been requested to
come to Washington and have n
council of war with the Colonies and
Generals of the military committee.
Sherman and Hancock are also COM

in The elegantly furnished committee
