PRESS Reports On she New York
CoavenaIOn,
New YORK, Oct. 6 h.-The Zrib.
une, says: For the first time in
many years the Republican opin.
ion of New York has found express
sion in State Convention. One
hundred and eight was the major
ity before which the Conkling ma
chine weat to the wall yeste rday,
If the voice of the Republicans of
the cities had not been stifled by
district associations, and had found
as tree expression as did that of
their brethren 10 the rural districts,
the Convention would have been
almost unanimous. The ticket
nominated is made up of good ma
tsrlal throughout, 10 we'll distribute
ed geographically and Is represent
alive Of both wings of the party.
Tbs Times says: The Convention
yesterday may be justly called a
reform Convention. 1t leaves the
party in u healthy and vigorous
condition. There Is no doubt that
the action of the Convention in
breaking with the custom which
has given to State Conventions
heretofore SO large an influence
over the formal action OF the party
will be generally approved. The
candid and kindly tone which per.
vades the Convention with refer.
ence to the South is an indication
that it will require oven more than
the usual Democratic faulty to
make purely sectional issue again
very prominent.
The Herald says that the Re-
publican Convention turned out to
be, as the Herald predicted, q very
moderate, conservative and tame
affair. The opponents of Conkling
carried the organization, but seem
to have used their power with dig
nity and reserve. Whether the
harmony will last is another ques-
ton, but the aD@sthetic influence
of Arthur as President will not be
lost upon the Republican Conven-
ton, even in angry, jaDglipg,
wrangling New York. OF the can
didates, 1t Is too soon to speak.
The Sun says: From frat to last,
aud all along the whole line, the
stalwarts were routed; and it was
evident, at the evening session, how
they felt. They were cullen. They
were in state Of mind that is dan
gerous to the faction.ridden party,
and that is not likely to be less
dangerous at the time of the cleo j..
| ton,
The World says that the victory
of the half-breeds in the Conven-
tion simply binds the stalwarts to
beat the Republican ticket in the
election. The nominations make
up new and complete 'step-lad-
der and trapsom" ticket. 1t is
tolerably clear that the delegates
who nominated such q ticket did it
with the confidence and we'll.
grounded expectation of its defeat.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6th.-The
Ledger's New York special states
positively that President Arthur
has offered Conkling the post OF
Secretary of the Treasury and that
he has accepted 1t with the UNDER
standing that he will enter upon
the duties OF the office when the
regular session commences. When
the inside history of Jones's recent
hasty errand to Utica and the Pres
idents subsequent visit to New
York comes to be written, it will
be found that 1t was to perfect this
arrangement, by which Conklipg
has been kept away from the Con.
