New Y0rk's State Convention

New York, February 81. Reports of the
| elections of delegates to the republican State
convention from all parts of the State to-day.
show that an exceedingly large number were
opposed to unite the unit rule and great many
are instructed to vote for the Blaine dele.
gates to Chicago. An equally large number
go to the convention with the vote for their
constituents against any instructions as to the
course in choosing delegates to the National
convention.
According to the Times, out Of 364 dele
gates to the republican State convention 2l7
are instructed to vote for Grant, or expressed
and for Washburn. The Times believes
that the friends of Grant will have 26O votes
in the convention.
the LIST district, st. Lawrence county. and
district, Lewis county, are all for Blaine.
Those from Cherung are for Grant.

Delegates Elected.
WINDSOR, VT, February 81. Edmunds
delegates were elected to the State cow cntion
by the republicans OF this place to-day.
Democratic Meeting.
WAsniScroN, d. c., February 81. The
all-absorbing topic Of the evening is the meet
ing of the National democratic executive
committee tomorrow. The lobby and corri-
doris of Wizards Hotel were thronged this
evening, and judging from the animated dis
cussion on every hand the question of where
the National convention shall be held seems
almost paramount as to who shall be the pres
idential candidate.
A strong delegation is present from Boston,
and while making no particular claim they
offer the largest hospitality and best accom-
modations the city can afford should the
committee decide to compromise conflicting
views by selecting that city. 1t would be ut
best but guess to predict any action of the
committee tomorrow, but if any reliance
may be placed upon careful estimates of the
average of the views expressed this morning,
it may be assumed that the chances are in
favor of Cincinnati as against either
Chicago or st. Louis.
