THE UTICA CONVENTION.

Grant Has Secured 228 out OF 40 Dele.
gntes-The Blaine Men are Said to Mum!
ber IO7-The Strength OF the Others Not
Worth Mentioning.
New YORK, February 23.-The Tribune
published this morning the following ar
ticle in regard to the result Of the conven-
ton at Utica:
"With the holding Of conventions in a
few counties to-day the election Of dele.
gates to the Republican State Convention
at Utica will be completed. Delegates
have already been chosen, however, in 80
large a proportion OF the districts that it is
possible to forecast, with some approach to
accuracy, the composition of the conven.
ton which meets on Wednesday. It has
been apparent from the time OF the'first
caucusses that the convention would con-
tain majority in favor OF Gen. Grants
nomination, and II can now be definitely
stated that q majority Of the whole num-
Der OF delegates have 80 expressed them
selves, leaving out OF consideration en-.
tirely those whose preferences are I'm.
known, and those districts in which con-
ventions have not yet been held. From
both OF these sources his vote Is likely to
be increased.
"The delegates who have either been
instructed for Gen. Grant or well under.
stood to favor his nomination number o26.
The whole number Of delegates is 4l0, and
majority will therefore, be 200. The
delegates who have been understood to
favor the nomination OF Senator Blaine
number l07. The personal preferences OF
the remaining eleven delegates are not
stated, but they are announced to be op.
posed to q third term. Secretary Sher.
man, is understood to have six supporters
in the Kings county delegation, and two
from Ontario county. Mr.. Washburne Is
credited with one adhereut in the Ontorio
delegation. In tiitY.iour cases the prefer.
ences OF the delegates are not positively
known, or they have not yet been elected.
Assuming that Gen. Grant receives the
same proportion OF the still uncertain
votes Of those already known, his major.
ity will be considerably increased"
The Times, this morning, publishes re.
turns from every county In the State, and
gives the strength OF the candidates In to.
morrow's Republican State Convention:
Grant, 254; Blaine, l24; scattering l2; un'
known, 20.

Significance OF the Action Of the Meeting
WASHINGTON, February2S.
Special Dispatch 10 the Intelligencer.
Very unexpectedly the Democratic
Committee agreed, almost without con
test, on Cincinnati as the place for holding
the National Convention. No special
political significance is attached to the
selection.
The Erening Star tries to make out
boom for Jewett OF New York, who is an
Ohio man, but this is generally repudiated
by the Committee.
The drift the Committee is towardsthe
denomination OF Tilden provided the breach
with Kelly meanwhile is healed; other
wise they are all at sea for candidate
acceptable to Tilden. They are really
hoping for Republican blunder at Chi
cago to let them out OF their dilemma.
Almost to a man they seem to desire q
third term issue, which is the biggeahh
spoke in their wheel. Cincinnati's
strength is the hope Of creating a boom
in that city for the Democratic nominee.

The New York Commercial Bulletin sayI
that while ago, there was fair prospect
of unusual activity in building enterprises
not only there, but in the neighborinG
cities; but the rapid appreciation Of all
kinds Of material since the close Of the
last business season bids fair to disappoint
expectations. For instance, all sorts oi
architectural iron have advanced about
100 per cent; common kriCk from S. 80 to
SIl per thousand; lumber from Sll to sl5;
Iaths from 81 % to 81 75; lime from 81 %
per barrel to g so; cement 95 to SOC. per
barrel; plaster l5c.; plasterer's hair 5 to
lOc. per bushel. Labor remains about the
same as last season; but with trades'union
notifications OF another general strike
with the incoming of spring, 1t is not sur
prising that leading builders are discour'
aged and disposed to throw up their con.
tracts. There has all along been, with real
estate dealers and the building trade-gen'
orally, hopeful feeling, based on the ex'
pectation that material and labor would
be maintained at such points as will In
duce capitalists to embark in new enter
prises; but in the present aspect OF the
situation 1t must be acknowledged there il
hut scant encouragement to go forward
In fact, all hands would seem to be agatt
bent ON the foolish business OF killing th'
goose that lays the golden egg.
