Uo says thai he, himself, without President .Grant's knowledge or suggestion, went to General Orierson, cavalry recruiting officer here, and asked that Captain Robinson be sent down to the farm, not to lay out a track, bat to widen a short tarn in a track already made. Grierson said he oould not detail an officer for that purpose, but that Robinson coald go voluntarily if be cboso the next day. Orierson, Robinson and John Kornan, Chief Veterinary Surgeon and Farrier or tbe army, came to tbe farm, and the track was widened and the chain run round to get the new distance. No detail of private soldiers was made nor were any soldiers present with Robinson.

Allen, Blaine and Brictow Said To Be the Favorites. CucnrxATi, Ohio, May 16, 1876. The Democratic Slate Convention (or tho election of four delegates at large to tho National Convention and the nomination of a candidate for Secretary ol State; ol Supreme Judge and member of Board ot Public Work* meet hero to morrow and promises to l>e the strongest and most intercstln.: State gathering ot tho kind that has ever mot in the State. Tho fight between tho friends of Governor Allen and Sonator Thurman has been and still is so bitter that It is Impossible to tell what the result will be to-morrow so lar as tho election and Instruction of delegates to tho National Convention is concerned. Indeed, it Is believed to-night that no in structions will be attempted by either side; there la such an equal division ol streugth in this Convention that it would probably create such a bitter feeling as to jeopardize tlio State' ticket. Roth parttos, however, claim that they will have a majority strong enough to Instruct, if they choose to do so, General Kwing and other prominent men say that there will be co instructions asked by either side; that tho delegates will bo elected and left free to act as they deem best when they get to St. Louia. , * The financial plank of tho platform of to-morrow will bo the samo as last your, and thore will be no serious nitemptto mskea tight against It, although some of the Thiiriusn men claim they can get a modi fication of it It they insist upon it. A preliminary meeting of many of Allen's friends was held st Collpga Hall to-night, nominally to agrco upon some plan of aggressive movement in Convention, but, as It turned out, their only employment was to listen to speeches by General Sam Csry, ol Cincinnati, and J. D. Estep, ot Cadiz, and ex-Senator "Setts" of Tiffin. Probably 400 of the delegates and strangers attending upon the Convention were present. There * as the wildest enthusiasm whenever Allen's nsme was mentioned, and all references to the reaffirma tion of the financial doctrines of last yrar called torth tho heartiest applause. The only significance ot this meeting, perhaps, is that it shows a determination on the part of Allen's friends to fight against all attempts to olthcr Indorso Thurman or to go back on tho Ohio principles of lsst year. The leaders of both sides seem to be very confident of vlo tory of some kind to-morrow. AT TUURKA.Vs UKAPQVARTHS, In the Grsnd Hotel, John G.

Tbe Republican State Convention to elect delegates to the Cincinnati Contention meet* bore to-morrow. Already tbere are assembled on tho ground about ISO delegates, or one-fourtb of tbo Convention. Essex county is represented, so that tho State Executive Committee, of which Joseph A. Coult Is chairman and John Y. Foster secretary, was enaoled to bold a con ference this evening with two chairmen of each county committee. At the conference, as secretary, Mr. Foster stated a plan was agreed upon to secure a uniform organization throughout tho State. Among those present are ex-Governor Newell, George A.Hal sey, John Hill, Amos Clark, Jr.; Senators Leamlug, Potts, Jarrard, Bettle, Sewell, Hopkins, and a consid erable number of Assemblymen and regulation hacks. TKIiroRAKY ORGANIZATION. Tho State Committee have agreed upen the following as tho temporary organisation of tho Convention at Taylor Hall to morrow:?President, Ex Senator Henry J. Sloue, of Union County; Secrelary, Samuel N. Gray, of Camden. The talk is to make Cortlaud Parker, ol Essex, permanent president, If he can be induced to accept, which is considered doubtful. John Newlin will probably be cho-on permanent secretary. As re gords delogatcs, there Is of course no certainly ns yet, but n ciireiul conference with leading men Induces tlie belief that the lollowing list will not be far out of the I way:? rSOSAtlLS DKf.KOATKS.

Tbe general belief is that no pledge will bo exactnd of tho delegates, but that they will go free to oxercise tbeir own sweet wilt at Cincinnati. H<-ro and there are scattering votes for Brlstow, but neither Conkling's name nor Morton'* is oven so much as lisped. Tne indication* aro that tbo Convention will be harmoniously worked, and that a | platlorm Will be adopted overflowing with a sentiment of retorm and an arrangement ol inn "Rebel Con gress" and Its interminable and costly investigations.
