4 BRIEF SUHNARY OF THE WORLDS WORK.
PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.
Two New York Democratic State
Conventions were held at Syracuse on
the Goth, the one known as the regular, -
or Tilden body, the other made up of the
anti-Tilden or Tammany faction, headed
by John Kelly. The first named elected
. delegation to the National Convention
favorable to Tilden, and adopted
the unit rule, after having declined to re-
ceive any overtures for q conference from the
opposition body. The Tammany Conven-
ton chose an anti Tilden delegation to Gin
cinnati and passed resolutions protesting
against his denomination for President.
THE Illinois State Greenback Con-
vention was held at Springfield on the 21st,
about two hundred delegates being present.
The following State ticket was nominated:
For Governor-A. j. Streeter, of Mercer
County; Lieutenant Governor-A. B.

State-J. L. Thompson, of La Sale;
Auditor - G. T. Ingram, of Jackson;

The Texas Democratic State Con-
vention, held on the Goth, adopted a resolu.
ton complimentary to Gen. Hancock, but
pledging support to whomsoever the Ma
tiOnal Convention may see tit to nominate.
The Democratic members of the
ate Select Committee on the subject of
Counting the Electoral Votes will probably
recommend Congress to adopt a new joint
rule, providing that in case only one certif-
cate of the electoral vote of State be pre-
scented to Congress, it shall not be rejected
except by the affirmative vote of the two
houses, and that in case of dual returns
neither shall be counted unless the
two houses agree that one of them is the
true and valid return. The proposition is
substantially the same offered by Senator
Morton in the Forty-fourth Congress and
adopted by the Senate in form of bill,
in that body in consequence of Mr.. Thur
man having entered motion to reconsider
its passage. The former 22d Joint Rule on
the subject required every electoral vote to
be rejected to which any objection was sus-
tanned by either house.
The Connecticut Prohibitionists have
nominated State ticket, headed by George
p. Rogers for Governor.
THE New York Reform League and
Independent Republicans held State Con-
vention at Albany on the 22d, and adopted
resolutions placing themselves inflexibly in
opposition to third-term nomination. It
was determined to send delegates to the St.
Louis Convention.
The Georgia Republican State Con-
vention was considerably torn up by the
Vaccinations of the adherents of the various
Presidential candidates, but finally elected
an unpledged delegation to the
National Convention. Fourteen of the
delegates are colored. The delegates
are said to be nearly equally divided in their
preferences as between Grant, Blaine and
Sherman, although the friends of Grant
claim that from nine to eleven of the twenty
two delegates will support him in Conven-
ton.
THE Colorado Republican Convention
to choose delegates to Chicago is called to
meet May %.
