Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
UTICA, n. r, Feb. 25.-The result OF the
Convention is that the seventy votes Of New
York will be thrown at Chicago for Gen.
Grant If he is a candidate. But the victory
achieved By Senator Conklin5 is much like
that achieved in Pennsylvania by Senator
Cameron. The anti-third-term strength de-
.cloped on the test vote was: greater than
was expected By the leaders Of that party. In
total of 397 votes the motion to strike out
the name OF Gen. Grant from the Tesolu-
tions failed by only 81, the affirmative
vote being $50 and the negative .211.
striking out the vote of New York, which is
but one OF several counties the. Republicans
may not hope to carry in the election, the ma
jority against instructiug for Grant would be
IL. If all the hopelesly Democratic counties
were stricken out. the majority against the
Instructions would have been about So If
the decision in the cases Of contesting dele
cations had been different the result Of the
vote would have been different All the Re-
publican strongholds which in elections are
depended upon to Offset the Democratic ma
jorities in the great cities were opposed to the
Grant instructions, and
IN SEVERAL CASES
the delegates from those counties were in
structed to oppose such instructions. On
the other hand, it should be said that Mr..
Co1Eling's supporters claim, and the claim is
right to certain extent, that some delegates
who are at heart in favor of Grants nomi-
nation voted with his opponents under in
structions, and but for this their majority
would have been larger than it was Never
theless, the friends of. the Senator do not
nppear to think they have special cause for
rejoicing, while those Of the other party are
notably well satisfied with the situation,
claiming that thoughtful men, when they
understand the matter, will be more than
ever doubtful Of the propriety Of making
Zen. Grant the Republican candidate.
