Great ex,item' ut exists at The Nationnl
Capital following the information that
four of tie New York delegates to Chica
90 have avowed their purpose t" vote f,''
Blaine or the f ST ballot. Similar infor

vania delegation
The crrvasse which occurred in the
Republican ranks Of this State, as repre-
sented by Bib, Of the City Committee
on the one side, and Lewis, Of the Parish
Comm. ttee, on the other, has at length
neen closed, and the angry waters OF dis
cord excluded.
In the several Republican conventions
held On the 18th, instant the following
action was taken respectively: West Vr-
ginia instrncts for Blaine, Florida in
3 ructs delegates to vote IS a unit for
Grant. Michigan serds a.: nninstrrlered
delegation the majority of whom are for
Blaine. Nevada instr for Blaine.
1t is I'M lerstsod in political circles,
! that the Etlmunds vote of Massachusetts
| and Vermont will go solid for Grant if
| necessary to beat Blaine. While the
chances are admitted t" favor Grant, it
is conceded that the nomination will fall
either upon him or 81 line. Money is
| being freely used in the interests Of
Blaine, ard with tangible results.
, There seems to be 4 considerable "let
down" in the confidence Of he Kelly wing
q A.. T.
| wrought up SO high under the excitement
| of the recent rival conventions. At the
meeting OF the Kelly State Committee, on
III. 9TH inst. very few counties other than
New York and Kings were represented
and the attendance was very small.
| A resolution, introduced in the State
Senate of New York Ivy Mr.. jacobs, de-
claring that the "teachings of the fathers
of the, Republic have given existence
| to unwrit ten laws which decree that the
same person shall not occupy the high
| office of Pr sident for more than two
| terms " was, aft.r an ex, tied discussion,
| tabled 10y !. vote Of Il tn7.
| The N. Y. Tribune calls upon Grant to
|
Thurlow Weel asserts that it is plainly
and imp 'ratively his duty to do so The
country is not SO ripe for the ex Presi
dent after all. 1t is not impossible tia,
| the great soldier may at last experience Il
hnmiliatins defeat ON the field Of Chica
80. Let's see.
The State Convention Of the Democra-
! cy Of Wiscorsir declares the union If he
States indissouble, bnt that the sc. 'arate
States have reserved powers; that Che
national tleht,s binding; that the conftd
reate war claims should lie ropndia ted :;
use of troops at the polls is denounced ;
Hayes declared as Eol,ing his office
without title. Ninety delegates We're APP
pointed aud without Instructions.
In the Republican convention in Cook
county Illinois, Oh the 10th, instant, af-
ter an angry dehare wherein the excite
ment waxe'l SD hi. as TO cal for the in
tervention of the police, the Garnt men
bolted and held separate concltve,
sending a solid Grant delegation number
ing %. The regulars preserved their or
ganization and selected as delegate to
Springfield So favorable to WashLurn and
IS for Blaine.
| The New York Tribune considers he
Grant boom a fizzle. snbstantia.ins its
deductions with a snrnariza1ion up to the
9Th lust, showing that Grant is behind
Blaine, and has but about one third of
all instructed delegates. Mr.. Tiltlen is
reported by the same authority as having
stated, in conversation, his expectation
of being a candidate, no matter whom
the Republicans Eom'nated, and tina.
Payne, OF Ohio. is his preference for Vice
tPresi'ient.
Ohio's endorsement of Thurman is con-
si.ered by that eminent statesman all he
| had reason to hope for, and that it is
'emphatic, harmonious ami honest" The
action Of the Ohio convention has worked
no slight disappointment to the confident
expectations Of Mr.. Tilden, as that State
was counted pretty sure t" reinfoI ce his
column, particularly as exGnv. Bishop,
Gen. Ewing and other prominent Demo-
| cratic leaders were pronounced in their
Tildcn stic procllvities. The result has
been little short of a staggering blow to
the clleftain of Gramarcy Park.
Commenting upon the character of the
Maryland delegates to Chicago the Bal
timore American says in effect, that
though 1t is a virtual triumph for Grant,
| it was accomplished through frand that
