TUE Republican National Convention
viii consists of 756 delegates, and a ma
iority only is required to nominate. Two
delegates are allowed for each Represen-
tatiyc and Senator III Congress and two
from each Territory and the District of
Columbia. There are 293 Representa-
tiFes, IS Senator'S Territories and the
District, and that number doubled makes
iJG. The democratic national c0nven-
ton consists of only 1873 delegates who
are entitled to vote. The District of
Columbia delegates and those from the
Territories are merely honorary: they are
not permitted to vote. The rule now in
force in holding democratic conventions
requires q twc-tiirds vote to nominate
candidates for President and Vice Presi-
dent, but it will be within the power of
the coming convention to abolish it and
substitute the majority rule if it sees fiji.
IN the republican convention it will re-
uuire $40 to nominate, while in the dem
pcratic-uniess the rule shall be changed

IT has been the favorite argument of
the Northern Democrats that the Sou til
has been made solid by the conversation
OF negroes to Democratic doctrines. They
admit that there is occasionally case of
bulldozing, but that the Democratic ma
.iorities which have suddenly appeared in
States where the negroes outnumber the
whites have been produced largely by
negroes voting the Democratic ticket. In

The Republican COnventiOn-Large
 Majority of the Sherman Men-Cau-
 cusiDg by the FactiOns-A HarmOni-
 Ous Convention Assured.
 COLUMBUS, April 27.-The hotels are al- ready crowded with delegates in readiness for the Republican State Convention to morrow. As the Sherman delegates are largely in the majority, they are endeayoring to map out the programme of business. They have about decided to instruct the delegates-at large, and pass resolutions requesting the district dele gates to support Sherman as long as there may be reasonable chance for his nomina- tion at Chicago. It has not been deemed wise as yet to attempt to enforce the unit rule, in view of the number of delegates who will be favorable to Blaine. The Blaine men are very earnestly at work, and it is not un- likely that they will make the convention very lively when the resolutions come up.
 At eight o'clock this evening the Blaine delegates to the number of one hundred met in the Board of Trade rooms and their &C., ton foreshadovs in unmistakeable outlines harmonious convention. The following were selected as delegates at large to the Chicago convention: General John Beatty of Colum- bus, w. B. Shattuck of Cincinnati Frederick Wickham of Huron and J. P. Bradbury of Meigs. Alternates, MT. Gibson of Seneca. Edward Cowles of Cleveland, w. s. Peterson of Trumbull and Nelson Turnel of Circleville. Electors, Alphonso Taft of Cincinnati and Governor William Dennison of Columbus, After discussion of routine business the caucus adjourned. The Blaine men claim six districts yet, the Starke, Ashtabula, Toledo, Sandusky Gurnzey and Licking, with the last in need of careful nursing. The second choice is all Sherman and the next man of the Shermanites is Grant. The Democratic roorback of the night is concerted onslaught on Sherman headed by Garfield and Foster. This is a se- quel to the romance of the tri-partits agree ment General Garfield has in no ascertain able way declared his declination of place as delegate e-at-large.
 The Sherman leaders held secret conclave at the railroad commissioners office this even ing. The discussion was desultory and de- voted to the best manner of running the con- vention. The only defnable conclusion reached was tho platitude to run it for Sher- man. An informal ballot was taken for del egates-at-large, and Bateman, Dennison, Gar field and Foster were elected. General Rob- inson acted chairman. Congressman Me Kinly, who will be temporary chairman has a long key note prepared. The latest Sherman count is: Sherman 446, Blaine 194, with 40 delegates among the counties where all the residents can act or no delegate was appoint. ed.

Several Cases of HydrOphObia.
 NEW YORK, April 27.-Miss Kate Gilway, aged IT years, the daughter of resident of Steinway Village, Long Island City, is suffer ing from an illness that is declared to be hydrophobia. Four weeks ago she was bit ten by an i'll tempered dog belonging in the village. The dog was killed and the wound rapidly healed. The circumstances had been almost forgotten, when, on Friday last, Miss Gilway was seized with what had been taken to be symptoms of hydro phobia She has grown more and more violent as the disease has developed.
 Policeman Meaney entered Hudnut's drug store, at Broadway and Park Row, at eleven o'clock Sunday night, with his left hand bleeding profusely. He told the clerk, Mir. McAuliffe, that he had been bitten by dog at Broadway and Barclay street. Mir. McAuliffe at once cauterized the hand, which was badly bitten. During the process the officer fainted. The clerk a.cribed this to fears of hydropho- bia- His fainting was preceded by spasmodic fits, and he complained of pains in his right arm.

De YouDg's Death-Result of the I'm
 quest-Mayor ExalIoch's Body Guard
 Further Details of the Cause Of the
 Murder.
 SAN FRANCISCO, April 27.-The coroner's inquest develops the fact that the whole front ot De Young's face was stained with powder grains confirming the belief of many that the first shot was fatal and accounting for the fact that no words were uttered, the bullet having traversed the arch of the mouth, cut away the palate, and lodged in the inner jugular vain. The doctors, however, say it was the fourth shot that struck him. The jury have not yet rendered verdict, but young Kalloch is fully identified as the man who did the shooting Neither the prisoner nor De Youpg's brother were at the inquest this afternoon, which some attribute to the eau ton of the authorities. Mayor Kal- loch was riding in hack today with two sand lotters on the front seat with rifles in their hands A dozen dep uties of tho sheriff went to the City Hall with the Mayor last night and occupied seats near the Mayors chair in the room of the Board of Supervisors while he presided The display of weapons is becoming very offensive. but there are no ordinances providing for it except against deadly weap- ons concealed To prevent parades of

A member of the council of thirteen has been arrested with copy of the oath of that secret tribunal formed during the recent eommunistic demonstration.

 LAWRENCE, April 27.-The shooting of De Young by 1. M. Kalloch is the principal topic of discussion among the people of this part of Kansas, who knew the Kalloch family so we'll It is generally believed that this tragic cul- imitation will put quietus on all future at tempts to make handle of Kallochs past rec ord for the purpose of blackmail. It is also believed here that the immediate cause of the shooting of De Young is the late visit to San Francisco of gentleman of this place, MT. J. H. shimmers, and the story told of the object of his visit is curious reminder of old politi- cal times in Kansas. J. H. Shimmers, an un- educated butvery sharp and shrewd man, and a great political manager, owned an interest

in the Kansas Tribune published at this place, and once the most powerful paper in Kansas. Kalloch, who always seemed to have banker ing after newspaper and an organ, bought MT. Shimmers interest. In payment or part payment Kalloch gave him written or der of Senator Pomeroy on the State treasurer of Kansas for the g. 1000 bribe money which State Senator York had dramatically dis played at the time he accused Pomeroy of his attempted bribery, thus defeating and running him. For some reason or other Shlpmers never succeeded in getting the money. It lay for long time in the original package of bills in the safe of the State treasurer. Mir. Shimmers declared that through the conniv- ance of Kalloch it finally went into other hands, but he (Shimmers) would bide his time and make Kalloch pay the money. few weeks ago Shimmers started for San Francis CO., taking with him complete files of various Kansas papers containing accounts of Kallochs misdemeanors, or alleged dmisdemeanors, saying he was going to make Kalloch efork over." The general supposition is that he first tried Kalloch, and perhaps finding him obdurate, was entering into or had entered into some ar rangement with De Young to use the defama- tory documents. He was probably the person who caused the defamatory pamphlets to be circulated, of which mention is made in the dispatches. People here have very little sympathy with any of the parties concerned, except perhaps with Mrs. Kalloch, a lady uni versally esteemed. The attempts of Shim- mers to collect his old account by the method proposed is regarded as nothing more or less than bIackmail,

A Blow at Chinese Trade.

A BlOW at Cn1neSe 1fades
 ST. PETERSBURG, April 27.-The Russian Government has taken steps to prevent the exportation of corn from Kuldja, city of the Chinese Empire in Saungaria, to Kashgara, city of Chinese Turkistan, where large Chinese garrison is located, occupying the cita- del at that place. Kashgara has large Chi nese population besides the troops, and these have depended upon Kuldja for grain supplies The latter place possesses extensive granaries aud is able, unless forcibly prevented, to maintain without difficulty the Chinese troops at Kashgara. The policy of the Russian Government is understood to be to prevent the passage of corn by making seizures of that article in transit. It is further announced that two Chinese officers have arrived at the Russian frontier with dispatches from the Pe- kin Government with respect to the matter, and that China will consider any foroible in terference with trade in her dominion as equivalent to declaration of hostilities.
