The 403 districts in which it is said the
Blaine sentiment leads, are declared to be for
him, declination or no declination. They are
scattered well over the State, but the counties
IN which the greater number are found are
Schuyler, Cayuga (Auburnl, Jefferson. Essex,
Delaware, Washington, Ulster, Wyoming,
Cortland. Queens, Niagara, Clinton, Duchess,
Lewis, Livingston, Wayne. Suffolk, Kings
(Brooklyn), Fulton, Seneca, Hamilton, Steu-
ben and Westchester In Livingston, Cayu-
ga, Jefferson, Schuyler and Westchester the
sentiment is almost solid for Blaine, although
they all say they know he has declined the
use of his name.
The Depew strength comes very largely
from counties that say they were for Blaine
but have substituted Depew. The Lincoln
strength comes much in the same way The
Depew sections are Albany, Oswego, Schoha-
rie, Putnam, Orleans. Montgomery, Schenec-
tady, 0tsego, Orange, Erie, Richmond, Kings,
Queens and Sullivan counties. The Sherman
strength is widely scattered. C0nkling finds
friends in New York city and Brooklyn, and
in Saratoga, Hamilton, Albany, Oneida and
Jefferson counties.
On second choice there is wide divergence

OMAHA. Neb, March 17.-Judge Dundy, of
the United States District Court today rem
dered his decision in the injunction suit
brought by the Burlington road against the
Union Pacific Company and engineers in
their employ to prevent their refusing to
receive or transport Burlington freight In
substance the court holds that engineers of
the Union Pacific have the right to quit work
when they please, but they have notth right
to enter into a conspiracy and by concerted
action suddenly leave the Union Pacific road
without engineers when the purpose OF the
conspiracy is to prevent the Union racine
road from exchanging freight with Burling-
ton. as by the inte State commerce law it is
required to do. Neither have engineers q
right to refuse to pull Burlington cars. and
such refusal would subject them to inprlson-.
ment. The Union Pacific is the creation OF
ed that its officers, agents and operatives
must, at all times, exchange with and handle
freight of certain intersecting lines, among
them Burlington and Missouri, and has made
a refusal a,misdeanor punishable by fine OF
not less than $1,000 or not less than six
months on conviction.

PHILADELPHIA, March IS. - Tomorrow
morning the Times will publish the result OF
an elaborate canvass made among the Repub-
licans of Minnesota, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania and New York. 1t is by far the most
elaborate thing of the kind ever undertaken,
covering every ward and township in all of
the five States named. The names Of the
men to be consulted were secured year ago,
when there was no political excitement and
when the matter OF candidates had been lit
tie discussed. Conservative and obseryant
men were asked some weeks ago to note the
feeling in their localities, and to report espe-
cially for this canvass on the 10th Of March.
This they did with remarkable promptness,
so that the facts which follow are fresh from
the people, and have all been obtained since
the situation among the Republicans was
rendered complicated and interesting by the
withdrawal Of Mr.. Blaine in his two pub
lished communications. The canvass was
not conducted in the interest of anybody.
and no one but careful Republicans were
asked among them. As an indication Of the
character of the canvass, it should be stated
that over eight hundred Republicans in New
York city alone were consulted, nearly four
hundred in Brooklyn, three hundred in Gin
cinnat, and In proportion in other Of the
large cities. Not township but responded.
New York.
As early as September of last year, work
was begun upon the collection of names and
addresses of conservative and observant Re-
pubicans resident in each voting precinct in
New York. These names were obtained
through party workers, from editors Of local
newspapers, by travel through the State, and
from a large personal acquaintance. They
were obtained thus early in order that men
could be secured not in the interest Of any
candidate. In most cases they were induced,
during the past few days, to take special
pains to learn the real feeling in their locali-
ties, and to report that feeling as they found
it, especially for this canvass.
There are, in the State of New York, 1,043
wards and townships, outside of the cities Of
New York, Brooklyn, Troy. Albany, Syra-
cuse, Rochester and Buffalo. OF these, it
was impossible to get replies from 1852, be-
cause many of them were mountain districts,
and others are on the extreme northern
boundary and difficult to reach in the time
allowed. But enough city wards outside of
New York and Brooklyn were heard from to
make the total 1,120. These cover, practical
~, the entire State. Their voice on first

Among the Buckeyes.

There is remarkable unanimity among
Ohio Republicans in favor of Senator Sher-
man, and all concede that he will have the
solid delegation Of the State. All OF the or
CARNATIONS in the lightweight counties as
sert this fact. The same thing is further
proven by the testimony Of conservative
men in no less than 1,1S4 wards and town
ships of the State, outside Of Cincinnati
From Hamilton county replies from 326 Re
publicans were received. covering the entire
167 precincts of the city aud nearly every
township and voting precinct In the county:
All of these are for Sherman. The hrst
choice of Ohio may, therefore, be said to be
undivided, for of all the replies received, less
than a dozen declare that the voters OF their
section favor any other than Sherman. VI
the 326 who give their opinion on Hamilton
county, forty-two name majorities, and their
figures range from 900 to $500 Republican
majority in the city and county, provided
Sherman Is nominated. Many say there Is
no second choice, so that while almost 1000
Republicans residing in every township in
the State were consulted, it Is possible TO
give second choice figures in but i,075 Of the
districts. These are:

There are loud complaints in the mining
counties of Carbon, Luzerne, Laekawanna
and Schuylkill that the tariff issue is
PLAYED out, and that something new must be
tried If the party is to hold its own; but
aside from these sections, all agree that the
party was never in better condition or more

the State prefer Blaine, but they will sup

Saved by Oil.

NEW HAVEN, CT, March 1s.-Schooner
Spartan, Capt. st. John, with coal from Nor
folk for the Consolidated road arrived this
afternoon badly crippled. She was struck
by the gale off Montauk Point Monday after
noon and blown 200 miles off the shore, los
ing all of her sails and much Of her standing
rigging while running before the gale with
the prospect of laundering in the heavy sea.
The captain threw overheard number of
oil soaked bags of oakum, but the waves
washed the bags back on deck as fast as they
were thrown over. The captain finally
poured a quantity of oil through the water
closet pipe and secured comparatively calm
water, saving the vessel.

But ne would indeed be q very dull 1nVeS-
tIgator Of political leanings who would take
the situation in Ohio today as outlined in the
foregoing figures. Keeping strictly to the
statements made by the conservative Repub-
licans who write US it is safe to say that were
either Blaine or Foraker avowed candidates
Sherman could not hold the OHIO delegation
intact for an hour. Dozens Of the Hamilton
county 326 say that Sherman will have the
delegates from that county for few prelim-
mary votes, but that after that they viii 60
to Blaine or Foraker on the slightest pr0yoea
tion, and that they will wholly please their
constituents in so doing. Sherman's steady
and permanent strength comes from Fairfield
county, where he was born, Richland county,
where he lives, and the Central, Southern,
Southwestern and Western counties. In
Adams county, in the southwest there are,
though, many Blaine men, and the same is
true in all of the counties named. On the
other hand Blaine has strong following In
the East, Northeast, North and Northwest
ern counties. Voters in TrumDull, Ashta-
bula, Mah0ning, Jefferson, Columbia, Port
SandusKy, Ottawa, Wood, Henry, Lucas
lToledo), Fulton, Williams, Defiance and
Putnam counties say Blaine would suit them
as well as would Sherman. The only 0bjec-
tion made to Blaine is that Of expediency
In addition to this there is apparent in ev-
cry part Of the State strong admiration for
Foraker. 1t amounts in many of the c0un-
ties, notably in Jefferson, Washington,
Franklin, Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas, Clare
mont, Pickaway, C0shoctOn and Highland,
F0raker's native county, 10 the belief that
with Blaine out of the field, Governor Fora
ker is really the man to make an enthusias-
tic campaign, on which the doubtful States
can be carried with whOop and hurrah.
But innunerable proofs are given that Fora
ker is perfectly loyal to Sherman. All agree
on that score and he himself tells The Times
that such is true and that he Is not a candi-
date for either first or second place on the
national ticket. Lincoln and Harrison or
Lincoln and Hawley are frequently men
toned as satisfactory tickets, provided an
Ohio man is not chosen and Blaine will not
accept.
Among the hooosIers.
With the exception of Ohio, Republican
sentiment in Indiana has crystalized more
than in any other Of the five States canvass
ed. There are % counties in Indiana. Re
plies were received from the county commit
tee chairmen Of all of them. These chair
men say they have eanvassed their districts
well. OF them, Sc say Harrison Is the favor
ite, 26 Sherman, and 10 Gresham. This is
the view OF the politicians. Aside from them,
observant Republicans, unc0nnected with
the party management, were consulted in
1852 townships and wards. In many in
stances replies were received from four and
five men in each township, and in every case
but one they agreed as to the prevailing feel
ing in the locality for which they spoke. By
townships, carefully checked of and verified,
the preferences stand:
