VENTION. The Results of the Work Summed © How the Different Delegates Stand. Special Correspondence of THe Evaxixo Stan. GRicaxoxd, Va., April 4—Tue Stak in its spectal dispatches having given the public several days in advance of the assembling of the Inte Mahone con- vention a number of important facts indicating its course of procedure, {t would, now that Its work is completed, seem fitting to make known the actual results to the several parties interested. First, ex- Senator Lewis desires to have {t published that he would not go to the Chicago or any other conven. tion with his freedom of action in any manner abridged. Hon. Jno. 8. Wise, who trom the first Was on the regular Mahone state ticket, declined in convention to go, because of a similar feeling, though without making the Teal reason known! His district (the 84) retused to adopt the unt rule, and therefore bot the delegates are free from its operation. One of them 1s colored man of great force of character, and 13 by no means avowedly for Arthur. First district_—Here tyg slate was broken, and L. ‘T. Stewart, independen® elected. His colleague ts Mahone—Arthur. 24 district—Both delegates tor Arthur. 4th district—The samo. th district—Itere Wasa big smash, and although THe Stag several days ago annotinced Col. Sims of Danville, asa delegate, 1t was in error in placing his name in. the Ust suggested by Mahone. Both Col, Suns and his colleague, Scott, were elected without the aid or sug gestion of Gen’ Mahone, and both are opposed to Arthur. In fact, Col. Sims 1s very outspoken. 6th. Gtstriet—Both delegates reliably for Arthur. 7th distriet—Both are perhaps indifferently for arthur, and both have close relations with senator Ridaleberger. Sth distriet—Popham 18 personally very much devoted to Mahone, but cares noth- ing for Arthur, preferring Grant to any one else, Mitchell 13 from Alexandria, and his position unknown. 9th district—Here was another smash. The district. convention ‘aid Not instruct for tne Tule, and Senator Lewis states, to me, on information not doubted by him, that one of the delegates—Col. D. F. Houston, of Roanoke— 4s thoroughly for Blaine. te is the proprietor of a large fron, manufacturing property tn that county, a native of Pennsylvania, and some years ago ran th that state against-Randall for Congress. It 1s believed he's certainly for Blaine. Of the six delegates-atiarge, Ealtor Yost, ot of Blaine, and former Staunton, 1s an old friend straightout. He is known to have expressed the opinion a few minutes after his election that Mr. Arthur had littl or no chance for a nomination, He was also unfriendly to the adoption of the unit rule. |W. H. Pleasants, colored, was nominated by ‘Senator Lewis to take the place'of Mr. Wise. Pleas- ‘ants was very anxious to support the Senator for that position. He 1s not very firm in the Arthur faith. ‘The other four delegates are for Arthur, although Col. Brady 1s known to have little or nd expectation of Mr. Arthur's nomination. Such, however, is the influence of Gen. Mahone, and such the strategy of his skillful ald de camp, Brady, that they Will hold as long, perhaps, as they shall Wish to do. 80 a considerable majority of the dele- gates to Arthur. There are several, however, whom they are likely to find unmanageable. In conclusion, {t 1s only fair to state that Gen. ‘Mahone 1s once’ more at the head of a most power- ful and confident organization; that his followers ‘appear to have entirely recovered from their defeat last year, and that the opposition 1s uneasy, not to say frightened, at the out ‘The Combination at Utica.
