The Political Outlook in New York.
UTICA, April 22-There is much
speculation as to the outcome of the
convention. There are now the Ar
thur, Blaine and Edmunds camps
a conference of the Edmunds men,
numbering about forty delegates, was
held at midnight They decided un-
der no circumstances to combine with
the administration delegates in prelin-
mary organization. They also decided
they would support any two candi-
dates for delegates at large that the
Blaine men might agree upon, pro
vided the latter would permit them
to name two Edmunds delegates at
large. A committee was appointed
to communicate the decision, and the
conference took a recess.

The Ohio SpoiIsmen.

CLEVELAND, April ga great
number of leading republicans are
here to attend the state convention to-
morrow. Opinions differ as to whether
a majority of the delegates favor Sher-
man or Blaine. 1t appears to be the
prevailing judgment that the conven-
ton will not instruct for anybody
Sberman's friends and some of Blaine's
oppose the instructions. The Blaine
men claim majority; the Sherman
men say that many who are supposed
to favor Blaine will support Sherman.
Considerable bitterness is expressed,
and it thought Blaine's friends among
the delegates on arriving at Chi
cago, will rally to Lincoln ia
ease Blaine's chances are not bright.
There is a strong undercurrent for
Lincoln. Representatives of the wool
interests are here in force to urge the
wool protective plank in the platform.
Delegates will meet by districts at two
o'clock tomorrow afternoon to select
vice presidents and committee men,
and perhaps fill out delegations to the
Chicago convention, and will tempo
rarily organize at three o'clock. Gen.
Charles n. Grosvenor will be tempo.
rary president. Major Mckinley
seems tonight to be the favorite for
permanent president. The principal
work of the convention will be done
Thursday. Indications point to Col
f. T. Ogilvie, of Clark county, as
the nominee for secretary of state.
The others named Cor the nomination
are S. B. Wolcott, of Portage; Major
Henry Axlinc, of Muskingum; G. 7.
Clark, of Franklin; Oscar Shepherd,
of Preblee; and Henry Luskey, of
Cincinnati. Judge w. W. johnson
of Ironton, will probably be renom
mated for the supreme bench 1t is
thought that a resolution on the wool
tariff of 1867 will condemn the Morri
son tariff bill, indorse the cause of the
republicans in congress, rehearse
southern outrages, commend a wise
and patriotic administration of Presi-
dent Arthur and ignore the liquor

When the train arrived, yesterday noon,
bearing the Portsmouth Cavalry, salute was
fred, near the Boston & Maine station, by
detachment from the Brown Light Artillery.
A member of the Artillery named Terence G.
Kent was ramming cartridge into the cannon,
when the powder ignited in some unknown
way causing premature discharge of the
piece. Young Kent's hand was shattered and
almost torn from his arm. He was Immediate
ly taken to the Maine General Hospital, and
the hand was amputated just above the wrist.
Corporal White received bad wound in the
thumb and his coat sleeve was burned. The
cause of the accident was thought to be from
some defect in the cannon as this was the
third accident caused by the same piece.

speeches. After dinner, the company was

which closed the day made a return 10 COM
Portable quarters desirable, and about six

marching by the Cadets which was worthy of
the highest praise. The Cadets executed a
wheel, among other movements, that there is
no doubt was one of, if not the best ever
executed in City Hall. The manual was so
easily, correctly and gracefully executed that
the audience insisted ON a repetition. At the
close of the drill, an order of fourteen dances
was undertaken and skilfully finished by the
small hours of the morning. The floor direc-
