schedules have not been hastily prepared. The best

NO PERSONAL HOSTILITY IN THE OHIO CONTEST.
why THE BLAINE MEN REFUSE TO GIVE sHER-
MAN THE DELEGATION OF HIS OWN STATE.
IBr TELEoRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Now that the contest
In the Republican party In Ohio is about over, it il
proper to say that the feeling Of the Blaine In
that State Ia not one of personal hostility, In tho
least degree, toward Secretary Sherman; nor has
tho fight for Blaine In Ohio been stimulated or
couraged from outside the State. Whatever differ
ences have arisen have been bred. developed and
maintained on Ohio soil. and represent an essen-
tial and ineradicabe difference of judgment as to
the relative availability of presidential candidates.
When an appeal is made to Mr.. Blaine's supporters
in Ohio to permit unanimous vote for Mr.. Sher-
man, they answer that such vote would not fairly
represent their districts, and that it would say to
their fellow-workers for Blaine In Illinois: You
will please withdraw yOur efforts there, and let the
State 20 unanimously for General Grant" The
Blaine mon are not waging war against any other
candidate. They are simply supporting their own
candidate and they clalm the right to that in Ohio
and Illinois as we'll as in Indiana and Michigan.
1t is q remarkable ard significant fact In the Ohio
canvass that every county in the State steadily and
unswervingiy Republican in it's politics has gone
for Blame. There Is said not to be solitary excep-
tion to this rule. It is true that many counties
which are usually Republican have gone the other
way but the "Out and Out counties, that never
fail the party under any PRESSURE ore unanimously
for Blaine.
Three counties thus far heard from in California
are unanimously for Blanc; the banner Republican
county of the State, Alameda, is one OF them.

BILL WITHOUT SWEEPING CHANGEs LIKELY TO
Be REPORTED BY THE COMMITTEE ON WAYS
AND MEANS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUEEl
WASHINGTON, April 25.-At last there seems to
be prospect that the Committee on Ways and
Means will report tariff measure to the House
for its action at this session. special sub-com-
mittee was appointed about two weeks ago to take
into consideration the numerous bills which have
been referred to the committee. and ascertain
whether an agreement could not be reached on cer-
tain propositions Several meetings have been held.
Yesterday the subcommittee was In session nearly
all day. The sixty or seventy different bills which
propose changes in the tariff were read over, and TO
some extent discussed but no vote was taken on
any particular proposition.
A prominent member of the Ways and Means
Committee and also Of the subcommittee, In
versation with TRIBUNE correspondent tonight
said that, while 1t was vet too soon to predict what
changes in the tariff would be recommended. he
thought there was no longer any doubt that some
measure would be reported TO the House even
though the committee should not agree In that
case he thought majority and a minority report
would be submitted to the House. The same gen-
tleman said that there appeared to be disposition
among the members of the committee to make con-
siderable concessions in order to reach an agree
ment. In regard to the duty on steel rails he
thought the committee would agree to recommend
a reduction from S2S to S22 40 ton, or cent q
as he would like he said, but 1t was better than
nothing. He does not expect that the committee
will agree to any sweeping changes. or that the
schedule reported will embrace very many articles.

(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNEl
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Several years ago, when
the laxity of discipline at West Point Academy had
become subject of public criticism. it was deter
mined as a measure of reform to make that military
post military department., and place Major Gen.
eral Schoheld in command General SchOfeld had
O high reputation as q discipnarian, and it was
believed that his assignment to this new command
would restore public confidence in the Academy
and lead to such reforms might be necessary in
the management Of the institution.
The developments of the last three weeks have
done so much to unsettle the confidence that has
been reposed In General Schoheld that 1t Is under
stood there is little doubt that soon the pres
ent Investigation is concluded, the Department Of
West Point will be abolished, and that military
post again attached to the Department Of the East
under the command Of General Hancock. II this Is
done it will make necessary the assignment Of Gen.

GRANTS VIRGINIA FRIENDS.

THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THEM AND THE RErUDTAs
TORS AN INJURY TO THE PROSPECTS OF TH.iR
CANDIDATE.
fBY TELEoRAPH TO THE rnmUNEi
WASHINGTON, April 25.-The outcome Of the Vir-
ginia Republican Convention is both q victory and
defeat for the Grant managers. The election of .
solid Grant delegation to the Chicago Conven.
ton gives to the ex.PresideDt 20 votes.
which have always been accorded to him.
But the Grant managers expected to accom-
plish something moro than that In Virginia.
Having made bargain with General Malone, who
wishes to capture the State Government, their
agents went to Staunton with the avowed purpose
of giving the control Of the Convention to the Read
justers the understanding being that while General
Malone should be allowed to select the delegates to
be elected, and to name all or part of the candi.
dates on the electoral ticket the vote Of the State
should be cast at Chicago for Grant.
If the third term managers had been able by thls
means to make Republicans OF the country believe
that they had behind them the united Republican
and Readusters vote In Virginia. and that General
Grant would be supported by both organizations, II
nominated, they thought that it might have had o
strong influence in favor of their favorite in other
parts Of the country.
A majority of the Republicans Of Virginia are un-
questionably Grant men. They did not therefore
need the assistance of General Malone, the Read
juster, to enable them to choose Grant delegation
to the Chicago Convention. They knew. ALSO thai
IL Mahones party In the State would vote for Grant
at oil In the November election, it would vote for
him just as readily whether it had o hand in his
nomination or not. The Republicans saw reason
why they should allow Malone to run their party,
and they did not allow him to do so.
Another reason why the coalition was repudated
BY the Republicans is to be found In the ill-cOn.
cealed purpose Of Malone In making his arrange
ments with the Grant agents from Washington. He
cares no more for Grant than for any other Repub-
can candidate. His object has been and is to Ret
entire control Of the State and ne will offer TO join
hands with any party which will assist him In that
Besides he has not been willing to enter into any
unconditional agreement. He has already pledged
himself to support General Hancock, II he should
be the nominee Of the Democratic party. No mat
publicans, If Hancock should be nominated at Cin-
cnnah he would consider that his obligation to sup.
port Grant was at an end.
The whole proceeding in VIRGINIA seems rather to
81 eond cot 20 Se
delegation from that State easily enough without
any dicker with the Readjusters. The fact that
they were willing to join hands with tho party Of
Reputation In, that State has brought discredis
upon his candidacy.

Although solid Grant delegation to Chicago
