the RESOLUTIONS hind Anybodyt
SYRACUSE March 23.-Yesterday was tho
stormiest State Convenn n tho Republicans Of
New York have held since that Of 1871. when the
friends OF Horace Grccl'y were hustled out of
Voting Hall. rae tempest having subsidized, this
clear. fright morning is a better time 70 take an
OBJ crvation than while the sky was obscure
with dark, drifting clouds.
IT. putting 1t mildly to say that the support
ers Of MIR. Cunkling are very much disappointed
with the results OF the Convention In re. ard t.
the proc,ties Of some II the DELEGATES s.n, to
Cincinnati. and more eci4ly VA respect 20 lie
vote on the 1ftn and sixth resolutions concern
ing Mr.. Conkling himself. They had greatly I'm.
der estimated the strength OF the opposition (;
aud when 1t was clearly developed In the vote
given on the side Issue Of whether tho rules Of
the Senate or the Assembly should he adopted
for the governanco OF the Convention. they were
amazed. Their error is easily explained. They
had not talked with the other side. The vote on
the question OF rules, taken just at the close
Of the forenoons proceedings, opened their
eyes. Uut 1t was then too late to change the
pros ramme. he delegates from tho thirty
three Congress districta had been mostly select
ed. and the Committee on Resolutions had been
agreed upon; and, indeed, the resolutions were
already drafted ana pared down to avoid oppo-
sition until, on the vi al point Of presenting Mr.
Cnnk ing as the choice Of the Req blicaus Of
New hor@' they were very thln lndeei.
THE CoNKLING CALCULATIONS.

In fact, they felt sure Of this. On the question
OF oclcgIics to Cincinnati they were ecu llv
certain that not more than three Congress dis
tiicf- would nnue men who were onUo- ed t.
Cuukiing'- nomin iti n and they were nrn in
such plablc qualities IN thev would readily
Weld to he no al pressure OF tho rrst of the

when they retired To- 1 cir ptll,vs at tho Van
dcrbilt House as the clock tollcd two on Tues

Keeping these facts In vlaw Won can lmacine
the astonisnment ~ the advocates Of Cunkling
at the PROCEEDINGS of Yesterday Twenty ma
tional delegates mora or lass hostile were
chosen and whom resolutiona were nronosed
