field on the 10Th instant, instructed its
delegates for Grant by Il vote of $50 to
307. The regular delegation Of Cook

publican Convention of Minnesota in.
structed delegates to support Mr.. Win
dom as nominee for Presidents; tabled Il
| resolution declaring Blaine second choice

....The Republican State Convention
held at New Orleans on Monday last was
the scene of turmoil, confusion and fl al
disruption. On the point of choosing Il
temporary chairman, as between Dumont,
of the Custom House faction, and Demas,
of the Grant faction, a lively scrimmage
ensue which threatened for a time to de-
velope into a regular battle. The friends
of Grant boltcd and held separate con-
vention. Ex-Gov. WarInoth was INSTALL
ed as permanent chairman of the rcgu-
lars, while TaS Ter Reattio was appointed
to the same position in the councils of
the bolters. The result Of the whole thing
is the appointment of two conflicting
delegations to Chicago aud II bitter feud
in the Republican ranks of this State
The delegation appointed by the boilers
is solid for Grant; that of the Custom
House clique is divided between Sherman,
Grant and Blaine, the 70 rmer being large
~ in t ,e majority while the latter has a
sole representative in the person Of War
moth.
