HANLAN AN EASY wINNKR-RILEY'S NEW BOAT NOT
A sUccEss-ANoTHrR CONTEST AT PROVIDENCE.
| INK TELEGLArH 70 THE TRIBUHE.1
| WAsHINGTON, MAY 20.-Hanlan and Riley rowcd
n race here to-day five mllcs, for purse OF So 000
| This mainly grow out of q feeling that Riley
was not offered fair chance last week when Court
ney, although pleading illness. was put forward to
! compete with the Canadian champion.
| In fOurmie race between Hanlan and Riley
Mt Barre, Ont, last year, it declared that
neither won Riley's friends have been anxious
ever since that he should have an opportunity to
meet Hanlan on tho water. That opportunity he
| found to-day.
Tho race was rather tame affair. The people of
Washington turned out to tho number Of 90, 900
to witness tho race last week. That was enough
to teach most of them wise lesson in regard to
boat races between professional" oarsmon, and
consequently the preparations for tho race
Of to-day excited only langud interest
To-day business men paid no regard to the race,
and although it was advertised to take place at o
late hour, the crowd which gathered to witness 1t
was very small compared with that of last We'd
nesday. A very liberal estimate Of the number Of
spectators places it at $4,000 persons.
When the word "go" was given Hanlan's boat
sprang forward few lengths ahead of Riley's, and
the advantage thus gained was steadily increased.
For tho first milo Riley steered very badly, and
u
until the turning fag was reached, no gradually fell
behind. At the end of mile and half no broke o |
foot brace In his boat, and this Of course, added to
his troubles
The boat IN which Riley rowed is q new one, |
which he received only day or two ago. To |
TRIBUNE correspondent tonight Riley said that his |
boat was not fit to row race IN. At every stroke |
he said he felt the boat give" under him, while |
the stem and stern would jump almost out Of the
water. This he said accounted for his wild steering.
Riley's stroke for the first mile was about 81 4
minute and IL gradually fell to 80 on the last mile
except for short squirt or two.
Hanlan rowed oyer the course In magnificent |
style, although he did not appear to be at all hur
rled. His stroke was two or three o minute slower
than Rileys and he frequently stopped to rest and
look at the people on the shores twice he stretched
himself at full length in his boat and took bis eaee
Hanlan roWed tho five miles in 80 minutes 22IO
BecOndsJ Rley's time was 81 minutes 27Se seconds |
As Riley pulled up Rt the finish Hanan was waiting |
and the two shook hands cordially. Riley admitted
that Hanlan would have beaten him, even II he had
not broken his foot brace.
Hanlan goes from here direct to Providence,

THE GREAT STATES A GALNST GRANT.
NEW-YORK.

The counties which voted against Grant in the
Utica Convention represented clear Republican
plurality of A5,1A1. or 2,3o4 more votes than the
plurality by which Governor Cornell was elected.
The counties which voted for Grant represented o
clear Democratic plurality Of 2,S53. There were
twenty-eight counties in which o majority Of the
delegates voted against Grant instructions, and in
only two Of these was there Democratic plurality
in November last. Taking the vote on Governor at
that time as basis, these twenty-six Republican
counties cast an aggregate Republican plurality of
as, 40, and the two Democratic counties cast
Democratic pluralities aggregating 300. leaving Q
clear Republican plurality Of ASIAN There were
twenty-seyen counties which voted for Grant in
structions. In nineteen Of these there Repub-
lican pluralites in November aCgregatng %, 7,72A,
and in eight there were Democratic puralities agQre-
eating 30, ,O57, leaving a clear Democratic plural
ity of 2,333. Thus it appears that the counties
which voted against Grant were the counties which
elected Cornell Governor. In five counties tho
delegates were evenly divided, and they are 80

VOTE, AFTER STRONG DEBATE.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNF.I
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Tnerc is hardly fact in
the whole history of the reconstruction OutIages
which was not rehearsed by the Republicans of the
Senate to-day for the edfcatiOn of tho usually
silent Democrats. The occasion was the Super
vsors BILL which has for its sole object to egisate
Commissioner John l. Davenport ont of office. and
make Inn Ineligible for rcappontmcnt.
Senator Edmunds made an unanswerable legal
argument establishing tho unCOnstituti0nality of
the measure and showing that if it became law
it would furnish precedent for making any other
class of citlzons Ineligible to hold Office whenever
tho whm OF necessity of party majority In Con-
Gress should render such an act desirable.
Senator Rollins made an able and humorous
speech, defending the Republicans of Rhode Island
against the accusations contained in the re-
port of the Civil Service Reform Investi-
eating Committee. and alluding in emphatic
terms to tho Sonth Carolina, Louisiana and
Mississippi methods Of conducting elections.
Senator Ioar defended Massachusetts IN respect to
the educational limitation of suffrage to which the
South Carolina Senators had made alusion yester-
day. and made some remarks about the restriction
Of suffrage in the latter state, by means of which.
in addition to the tissue ballots the Democracy is
now dominant.
Tho South Carolina Senators, who find their un-
fortunate political antcccdcnts very disagrceable
subjects Of comment, have prepared small arsenal
of facts more or less authentic, regarding other
States, which they use as occasion requires. Sena-
tor Hampton created considerable amusement by
producinga n private letter from George Washington
written when he was IN command of troops in Mas
sachnsets, IN which he alludes IN very uncOmpli-
mcntary terms to Massachusetts people.
Senator Cameron, OF Wisconsin, set forth Mt
length the history of the tissue ballots.
Senator kirkwOOd detailed from personal knOwl-
pdgr, gained as a member Of an investigating com
nittce, many OF the Louisana Outragcs.
The measure WAS finally passed by a strict party
vote.

[FRoM STAFF CORRESPONDENT oP THE rRrBUyg1
CHICAGO, May 24.-The meeting of protest which
has beer called here for Wednesday night will be
notable gathering, If it represents in any ade-
quate manner the Indignation OF the best
part OF the business community at the action
of the Springfield Convention. The extraordinary
degree Of interest taken in the primaries and the
County Convention made the number of citizens
who felt the action at Springfield as personal ont
rage very large indeed. Old citizens of Chicago
men who have faithfully performed all their duties
as Republicans both at the primaries and at the
polls say that there never were such primaries
in Chicago before as those which preceded the
famous Cook County Convention. Business men
who have usually contented themselves with cast
ing vote spent the whole afternoon in working 10
get out voters. Large business establishments
closed up that the employees might be able to take
part 1t was felt that, considering the influence of
the vote of Chicago in the State aud the voteof tho
State just at this Juncturc, in the National contest
the election was all-important As one of them said
to-day. they felt that they might be "makinq or
urmaking President right here in ChicagoD
After all this labor and effort their only reward
was preconcerted bolt by the minority, which de-
prived Cook County of any voice in the early work |
of the State Convention, and has also ended in de-
priving the county Of any voice in the Natioual |
Convention. The business men Of this buoy CITY |
gave up valuable time to the work Of putting |
themselves on record against third term. and the
sum total of their efforts issix Grant delegates in
the National Republican Convention. 1t Ia natural
enough that every of these men should feel that
he has been personally injured and mlsrepresented,
and should do what he to that he set right
by the admission of the contesting Illinois dele
gates.
THE PROSPECTS OF FAIR PLAY.
One point Of considerable interest in connection
with the subject is brought out here-that, unless
there is radical change in the relations of candi-
dates, an anti-third-term Committee ION Gre
aentials In the National Convention seems
almost assured. It is the practice in the
National Convention to give the States equal repre-
Ientation on AL the important committees
