Ohio,
NEw YoRk, April l7.-Murat Halstead,
of the Cincinnati Commercial, is stopping
in the city for few days. In an inter
view he freely expressed his opinion re-
earding the political outlook, and reitera-
ted his conviction tnat Secretary Sherman
would certainly secure the Ohio delegates
to the Chicago Convention. He was san.
guine that the indications were strongly
against the nomination OF Grant, who, he
said, has been steadily losing ground, and
whose only chance was 10 secure the solid
vote Of the Illinois delegation. This he
did not think by any means certain. It
was, in bis opinion, possible in certain
contingencies that either Washburne
or Senator Edmunds would carry
of the prize. Said Mr.. Halstead:
"There is no doubt in nay mind, and
has not been, but that Secretary Sherman
will carry the Ohio State delegation, but I
think there has been q mistake in defer.
ring the Ohio Convention TO such late
date. It should have been called two
months ago, so as to give him the advant-
age and prestige Of solid backing. Grant
stock Is fat" continued Mr.. Halstead. at
Is absurd TO talk about his carrying Ohio.
He cannot do IL" AS 10 the result OF the
National Convention, Mr.. Halstead said:
General Grant goes into the Convention
in the first place without vote from New
England, and the alliance between the
Regulators and Republicans in Vir.
ginia in favor Of Grant will give the
State to him at Chicago, but It is a
question whether that will do more
harm than good. Il will have the effect
to reduce Sherman strength in the South.
Mr.. Blaine will have alk the Pacific States,
but Nevada. The indications are that he
may turn and unite Pennsylvania against
Cameron. Blaine has carried Kansas and
Iowa aud the majority ofthe Republicans
in the Northwestern States are for him.
The only chance Grant has is to get tho
solid vote OF Illinois aud turn the Ed.
munds movement in his favor, which
think he cannot do, since 1t Is evident
thatthe Republican popular sentiment Is
growing so pronouced against the third
| term business"

Court held he was not 8 pauper, thereby
reversing the Common Pleas.
In the case Of the creditors OF the Bell.

court rendered judgment in favor Of ]. II.
Sullivan, one OF the stockholders.
In the matter as TO whether James
Kelsey or Z. G. Morgan had the prior

Shupe property, west OF the Centennial

favor Of Kelsey, thereby reversing the

Is Bound 10 be the Democratic Candidate.
WASHINGTON, April l7.-To.night's Star
has the following:
~ have learned direct from those in
Tilden's confidence, and you may rely
upon this as absolutely correct, that he
has not decided to withdraw as candi-
date. On the contrary, Gov. Tilden Is
making the most earnest, though quiet,
political contest OF his life TO save the
Democracy Of New York State for the
coming Presidential campaign; and, how
ever this results personally to himself, he
will be satisfied II the State is saved TO the
Democratic party. He believes that 1.-THE
power OF John Kelly and his faction las he
terms it, is not destroyed this spring the
State is lost TO the Democracy in Novem-
Der, and hopelessly lost thereafter II the
full or partial control Of Its organization Is
left in the hands OF Mr.. Kelly. This Is
the precise situation, which Governor
Tilden regards rs much higher than
q mere personal candidacy. In his opinion,
II the legitimate organization aud control
OF the party are not retained and enforced
in every election precinct in the State Of
New York. 1t is quite immaterial whether
he or any other Democrat is nominated at
Cincinnati, for this State could not be car.
ried for him. To surrender or to eompro-
mise with Mr.. Kelly, Governor Tilden
holds, would be Us fatal now to the party
in the State as surrender would have
been by the regular State Convention TO
Mr.. Kelly's secession convention last fall
at Syracuse. When Mr.. Kelly and his
following return to the regular organiza-
ton, the question OF Presidential candi-
dates and the further control OF the
party machinery in New York may be
an open one, but not until then. give
you the facts as find them"
Editorially the Star says: "The special
dispatch TO the Star, giving the position
OF Mr.. Tilden, is from confidential
friend OF the Gramercy Park statesman,
and It may be accepted as entirely re-
