Thr Different Conrrntlona Pass Ro lutlona Eulogising th Man from Main Kansas Alliance Leadsra Vk State That They Are Opposed to th nb-Treamry Scheme. Stractek, N. Y., Aug. 8. ThU city U fall of delegates to the annual conrentton of the New York Stat League of Repub lican club. At 11 o'clock a. m. to-day the con rent ion was called tofethr-T President McAlpin. It la expected tbat little Is to be accomplished the first day except the appointing of committees on organisation, resolutions, etc. When the Bamenf the James G. Blaine association of the Sixth Assembly district was called in conveution today there was a tremend ous demonstration for the statesman from Maine. . . fthroeder for Governor, i Ex-Senator Griswold, of Brooklyn, says Frederick A. Shroeder mast take the Re publican nomination for governor whether he wished it or not. "I tell you." he said, ''Shroeder is the only man to carry Kings county, and it we can do that we are sure I the state." I f Ther Favored Blaine. The New York and Kings county dele gation while en route balloted for presi dent of the United States. When it was announced that 102 favored the nomina tion of J.vnes O. Blaine, 15 President Har rison. McXniley and U were 'tot' the nominee, admirers of the secretary of state just turned themselves loose and yelled. The headquarters of the league at the Globe were thronged with politicians np to a Inte hour. President McAlpin and Secretary lledees were visited by many delegations with assurauces of their sup port for re-election. Scarcely a doubt exists that both will remain in the offices they now occupy. The big mass meeting this evening is to be addressed by President James S. Clark son, of the National league. General Nathan GofT, National Organizer T. E. Byrnes. Robert P. Porter, Colonel Elliott Phepard, Rosweil G. Horr and others. President Clarkson and General Goflt will be here today. Dlalne and McKinley. New York. Aug. 5. The Herald says: "Do the Blaine Republicans believe that the success of McKinley would make the tariff the overshadowing issue in 192, and are the Blaine Republicans for this reason preparing to knife the author of the tariff bill in Ohio this year?" The Herald's Columbus dispatches indi cate that they are. Mr. McKinley more completely embodies the protection prin ciple than any other American, and it may be said for Mr. Blaine that in him the re ciprocity idea finds its strongest and most intelligent advocate. Mr. Blaine is bitterly antagonistic to the protetlve idea as it finds expression in the McKinley tariff law. What, then, more natural than that he should covertly desire the defeat of it acknowledged champion in a gubernatori al contest where tariff reform and tariff prohibition furnish the battle cries for the respective forces engaged? Brain That Blaine Witt Resign. Among the many rumors current in Washington is one crediting Secretary Blaine with the purpose of retiring from the cabinet at an early data and seeking an asylum in Italy for the restoration of hie health. The story must be taken, however, with many grains of allowance. Well informed people say that Mr. Blaine is gradually recovering from hi late ill Ma, and the belief ia general that upon his restoration to health be will return to the capital and resume again the duties of his department. These dutiea are very congenial to Mr. Blaine. There is an in tellectual delight in them that cannot be fonnd in the ordinary routine of the other executive departments, while the prestige of the office is far beyond tbat enjoyed by hi cabinet confreres. These Repoblicans Want Blalnn. Mxrcbb. Pa., Aug. 8.

The convention elected the Hon. Henry B. Hall, C. W. Ray and J. D. Madge dele gates to the state convent-ion, and nom inated A. W. Williams, of Sharon, to the constitutional convention. This nomina tion of Blaine is significant from the fact that this county is in Quay's congress dis trict. Another Blaine Boom. BaiDFOliD, Pa., Aug. 5.
