The New York RepubIfcans-A Divide

Favorable Feeling For Hawley.
UTICA, April 22.-The moderate crowd of
the morning has attained very considerable
dimensions tonight. The afternoon and
evening trains have brought in hundreds of
delegates and camp followers The Now
York and Brooklyn delegations, who came in
about o'clock tonight, added both life and
numbers to the scene. There are a great
many Of the delegates who never were at
State convention before and they are at loss
to know what to do next. They content
themselves by finding seats and yawning.
They go to bed early and if they don't look
out they will find all the plans completed
without their aid. The knowing ones can
count on their ignorance. All factions are
woefully lacking in organization tonight.
The administration men have the better
workers and are profting by their expert
ence. There are hosts of men
here who are called Blaine men
who can give no account of the
faith that is in them. A goodly number of
these men are Edmunds men and some favor
Hawley. The latter is considerably talked
about and very favorably by some. The fact
is that the Edmunds men control the conyen-
tioa not on account of numbers, but on ac-
count of their position. The Arthur and
the Blaine men want them to make MAORI
ty. It is difficult to say with certainty, but
is more than possible that they will join
forces with the Arthur men. The administra-
ton forces are willing to make terms, which
they wouId>not do if they felt sure of a ma
iority. They of course would like to send
four Arthur men to Chicago, but
will probably accept compro-
mise and send two Arthur and two
Blaine men or two Arthur and two Edmunds
men. In case neither OF these schemes work
they will throw their strength to send four
Edmunds men. Leading StalWarts say George
William Curtis would be an acceptable dele
gate to them. There is difference of opIn-
ion as to making the whole ticket at this
convention. They also differ as to the ad-
visibility of naming one judge of the court
of appeals. In all probability the matter
will rest like this 3: If the other business
is dispatched early they will make the candi-
dates. Should it be late it is quite likely
that an adjournment will be had and the del
egates seek their respective domestic circles.
The State committee held a meeting this
evening. The question of temporary chair
man will be decided in the morning. but it is
understood that James Wadsworth, of
Livingston county, is likely to be the
man. No plans have as yet been matured
for permanent chairman. In round num-
bers the Blaine men claim two hundred,
the Arthur men two hundred and
the Edmunds one hundred. Probably
seventy would be a better figure for
the latter's strength. This gives them an
opportunity to dictate to the convention
and in fact control 1t. They have
held two caucuses and have been
unable to decide with whom they will join
forces. Both factions extend open arms
and offer every possible inducement. They
will not lend their aid to anyone
who will not pay well for it. They can have
anything they ask and are not liable
to fall into the error of not ask
ing enough. Among the names most
prominently mentioned as delegates to Chi
cago are Theodore Roosevelt, White
law Reid, Benjamin 7. Tracy, Henry
Ward Beecher Jas. Wadsworth, A. B. Cornell
ana Warner Miller. All of these
gentlemen are represented as apx-
ious to be chosen. The stall
Earts will help to send three delegates of
any stripe that can help them to send one.
The more the matter of rearranging the State
committee and nominating judges is talked
about the less likely it seems it will be done.
