UTICA, n Y, April 24-There are all
kinds of rGmors ahoat as to combinations
that are to be made between different fac
tions in the state convention. Some say that
the Blaine and Ednuuds men have united ;
another politician claims that the issue will
be anything to beat Blaine. 1t is evident
that it will not lie d walk-away for any can
di1ate
The real fight is between the Blaine and
Arthur men, but Edmunds has quite fol
owing, and If they did not lack organization
they could exert much more power. The
Blaine men say they will unite with no other
faction and they claim at least three out Of
the four delegates-at large. The Arthur men
ares not So confident. They will at
tempt if possible 10 get two OF the
Geiegates-at large, but the leaders III the
movement do not talk as if it would
be an easy thing to accomplish. The con-
veution promises to he Il stormy affair. The
excitement increases every hour, and politi-
clans are working the new men from the coun-
try for all they are worth. Jimmy" Hustled,
Al Daggett, nike Cregan, Clint Wheeler,
Gems Carr, Curtis, and Robinson, Speaker
Sheard, ex-SpeakcTs Sloan ana Sharp, and
many other old timers are here. Among the

Butler Speaks.

Boston 9.-The annual Jackson
banquet by leaders of the Demo :
cratic party of Massachusetts on the
anniversary of the battle OF New
Orleans, was held this evening.
General Butler, speaking OF jack
sons character, said that when
Jackson desired anything done by a
foreign nation it was done. No
British minister dared to snub him.
Referring to the prospects of the
Democracy in the coming presiden-
tial election, he said he hoped for the
party it was fact recognized by all
good men, that it would be cal
amity to the country if the Demo
Gratis don't win this year, because,
under government of the Repub-
lican party, which he said had al
lied itself to capital, the rich were
made richer and the poor poorer,
and the time had come when that
of things must cease.
Governor Abbott, Ex-Governor Gar
