The election of delegates to the Republican
State Convention is practically completed
Less than twenty delegates out of 496 remain
to be heard from, several Conventions not
having been held, and few delegates not
having declared themselves. A careful can
vass of the uncOntested delegates shows that
the Garfield Republicans number 2s2, ma
jority being 249. The Conkling Republi-
cans, including only uncOntested dele
gates, number I66. The contested delegates
number 21. Most of the Conventions held yes
terday were harmonious, but in Albanys
County the proceedings in the Ill District
were of a dsgraceful character. The Conkling
men were in the minority, but by the action
of the County Committee thew obtained the
advantage on the opening of the Convention.
Finding that there was no chance for fair
play, the majority withdrew before nOmina-
tions were made, the result being two sets OF
delegates and two nominees for Assemblyman.
In Erie County the COnkling men are charged
with repeating and the voting of tissue ballots
in large numbers. Ex-senator Platt is dele

TIE LATE PRESIDENT GARFIELp.

Many weekly papers continue to comment on t q
late President Garfield and the excellent effect of
British sympathy on the relations of the two
countries General Garfelds career has aroused
comparisons of the British and American electoral
systems and the prospects of British as compared
with American politicians. Most of these compari-
sons disparage too much the British politician; but
unquestionably careers like those of Lincoln Gar
field and Grant have touched the somewhat stolid
political intellect of England

Was George Wall Murdered .

PHILADELPHIA, August 1S.-The
mystery over the death Of Geo. Wall,
whose dead body was found in little
stream near the Delaware Canal, close
by Delaware City, deepens. While
on fishing trip with William Krause,
former partner, and two brothers,
Wall left the boat and was seen no
more until his body was found several
days aiterward. When the body was
taken from the canal, two wounds
were discovered at the back of his
head. The party of young men were
all more or less intoxicated at the
time Of Wallis disappearance and
their accounts are confused. The
theory is that Wall, being hungry,
entered garden to get some vegeta-
bles to eat, when he was shot by the
owner and dragged to and thrown into
the stream.

Pushing Up the Prices.

CHICAGO. August 1s.-The day was
another OF great excitement on
Change. Wheat nominally opened
at 1.22s for September, but Jumped a
quarter Of a cent to $1.235. Foreign
markets were reported higher. The
bears, however, had In their favor
large receipts Of grain, and the reports
OF large money orders from the country,
which indicated the intention of the
farmers to send in their wheat and
realize top prices. During the day
prices varied considerably on all op-
tions except August, which remained
steady at $l.34. September ran 81. 22s,
tl.SS1 N.2lA, $1.25t, s1.22s, 81. .28i,
$l.S2s. Corn also had its ups and
downs, running on September deals as
follows: CLIO, 62tc., 8O4c., clio,

were higher and unsettled. No fail.

The Secretary OF State.
From the New York Tribune.


No Premier expect Mr.. Seward has
ever had such a burden Of responsibility
thrown upon him in the first five months
of his service as Mr.. Blaine has had, and
the manner In which he has passed
through every ordeal is full vindica-
tlon of the wisdom of General Garfield
In placing him at the head of his Cahi-
net. He has fulfilled every hope of his
friends and disappointed every predic-
ttoD of his enemies. His communion
lions with foreign Governments, while
marked with his characteristic energy
and studious regard for the interests
of his own country, SD far as have been
given to the public, have been models OF
simplicity and propriety of statement
Those who feared, or pretended to fear,
Q brilliant, adventurous, fihbusteripg
administration of the State Depar ment
may comfort themselves with the prom
ise of an admi miuistration not less prudent
/. and able than the best that we have
had.
lu domestic affairs the conduct of Mr..
Blaine has been equally wise and dis
Greet. Everybody knew that our senior
Senator was his bitter personal enemy
as he was of so many Others-apd MANY
people imagined that MT. Blaine would
take advantage of disposition to punish
Mr.. Conkling through his friends But
he did nothing OF the kind. The mission
TO France, the first great prize of our
foreign service, was gwen either by his
suggestion or with his hearty concur
renee to Mr.. Copkhng's intimate friend
and adherent. When the President, in
pursuance efbis purpose adopted months
before, nominated udge Robertson for
collector of the port of New York, Mr..
BlaiDe's enemies pretended TO see his
hand In that act, until the President in
the most formal way asserted that the
entire initiative and respo osi lity of IL
belonged TO himself. In tae warfare
which Mr.. ConkliDg began upos the
PRESIDENT, as n consequence of that NOM
1nation, Mr.. Blaine did not lift finger
to help or hinder the fight which the
people of New York we're making in de-
fense OF the President and his lust prer-
ogatiyes. The contrary was asserted,
We know, by few reckless organs, but
thay soon saw the absurdiiy OF the false
mood, aud allowed 1t to droplnto obh-
Won. In the recent controversy among
the virginia Republicans as to the ex.
pedieney OF helping Malone to break
.ne Bourbon domination in that State,
MT. Blaine, while making no secret Of
his sympathy with the liberal and pro.
gressive ilement which favors the free
ballot and the free school, so risidly alb
stained from exerting any pressure upon
Inose whom it was thought he could in
Huencey that each side complained bitter
~ either OF bis inaction or of the favor
te was extending to the other. IL IL not
zoo much to say that there has never
Deen Secretary more severely devoted
TO the Gu'ies of bis office and less incltn-
cd TO exercise undue inf usncs in the do
nestle politics of the country.
