The Sun says: Conkling yesterday pre-
vailed on the great patriotic party to exhibit
itself as Inconsistent and unprinci,led, The
man who four years ago solemnly told YOU
one thing and to-day solemnly tells you d-
rectlS the opposite may be justly accounted a
liar and a knave
E YORK, Feb. 27.-The Tribune in its
editorial on the Utica convention and the
motion to instruct the delegation for Grant.
says: The narrow escape from defeat which
cameron had in the Pennsylvania convention
when the same question was at issue, was
not more significant on the strong prejudices
against a third term than was this small ma
!ority OF 81 in a total Of 397 votes in the
New York convention. As the case stands,
New York is gained for Grant, provided he
remains a candidate when the Chicago con-
vention meets, and the Congressional district
delegations, though strongly opposed to his
nomination, will obey the instructions of the
State convention and vote as a unit,
CINCINNATI, Feb. 27.-The ENQUIRER saws:
TIL result in New York shows Grants
strength 20 be all his friends have claimed,
and the approval Of the candidacy of Grant
was 100 unanimous 10 60 unheeded.
The Commercial says: The Grant element
Is behaving in a tyrannical and dictatorial
manner toward the Republican party-a party
composed OF elements which will not endure
such a course. and the result will be that that
party will throw off a sufficient portion of
the restraint placed upon it to defeat the
object in view by the leaders in the Grant
movement.
The Gazette says: Tn resolutions of Lhe
Utica convention that the vote of the New
York delegation be cast for Grant was repre-
sented in the case of Pennsylvania as the rule
OF one man rather than the voice of the Re-
publican voters. This rule was endorsed in
the last New York State convention at the
risk of losing the election of the nominee
for governor, who was saved only by the &C
cident Of the John Kelly rebellion in the
Democratic party. Such a rebellion cannot
be depended upon to save the ticket again.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-The Republican re
CARDS the endorsement of Grant by Pennsyl
vania as nearly an assurance of his success as
candidate. The Democrats have every reason
to congratulate themselves on the prospect, a
no other Republican has so vulnerable rep
utation.
The Globe Democrat is jubilant and conf
dent of the result at Chicago and at the polls
Boston. Feb. 27.-The Advertiser, which
has heretofore leaned toward Grant says thu
resolutions at Utica cannot hope to omman
unqualified approval, and the safety of TIT
nation is not imperiled as is asserted. 1t i
not time that the vote of New York is to de
eide the election of a President. In NOR
respects than one the praise lavished on Gran
IS gratuitous. All the world knows his rec
ord, and those who wish to know more of j
will not 60 to Utica to learn it.
CHICAGO, Feb. 27.-The Inter Ocean con
siders the question of the success of Grant a
Chicago fully assured, and regards the Repub
licans as particularly fortunate at havin!
reached so wise a decision.
