ArpANY. Oct. There is already a considerable
number of delegates upon the ground here, and all

,or This contest will be- all things considered, be-
twecn the same divisions Of the party that have
crossed swords now for three successive years FER
hans nothing viii serve TO bring the situation INTO
clearer relief than to say that of the sixteen dele
gates to the ST. Louis Convention last year who OPP
nosed Mr. Tlden's nomination fifteen now are unit
ed in favor of the candidacy OF the sixteenth
Allen c. Beach, for Secretary OF state. Inc
Canal Ring is more conspicuous than 1t mas
been in any convention since the exposures or
Onondaga County, the home Of Dennison and Bel
don ia against the denomination of the present state
officers. So is Oswego County, where Willard John
SON is an alternate, and will probably st as del
ecate in the convention. Monroe County sends jar
Wis Lord himself rs a delegate who controls four OF
the eight delegates, besides himself. There
arc various DELEGATES and delegations in favor
of new ticket, which are not identheu
with the Canal Ring in auy way but their NUMBER
is comparaively small. Probably four-fiiths OF INC
opposition o denomination comes from the sailo e
ment that has always opposed the liiueh "lng u
the PARTY. The number Of local candidates ooeS

f,yortcs are believed TO favor the denomination OF
tbe old ticket il success for their candidates is
impossible.
The friends of the old ticket count now positively

A grave charge is in circulation against Allen {.

ID f,.t while he was Observation-Disclosures aud was
ey-o0cio member OF the Board Of Commissioners of
the Canal Fund aud Laud Onicc, he charged mileage
from Waiertown 90 Albany for attending meetings
of these boards, when. in fact, he only walked
across from the Capitol to the State Hall The mile
age was 40 the rate OF 30 cents mile and amounted
~ $40. and i've such charges were made ia
one session Of the Legislature Daring the first two
years Of bis inoumbancy he made none Of these
charges but fell into the habit aiterward lie was
not without precedent in the mattcr for Chief JUS
ticc Church did the same thing when no was Lieu
tcnant-Governor. and General Robinson when he
succeeded Mr.. Beach. There have been times when
