The arrange ments are completed for the republican state convention which meets hero at uoon to-day. There is an intense- feel ing of uncertainty as to the outcome of the struggle for the supremacy in the convention , but it is generally conceded that the Edmunds delegates , if they work in union , can throw the organiza tion of the convention into the hands of either the Arthur or Blaine men. THE DELEOATBS-AT-LAROE. The E Imund i men held several confer ences last night , and overtures * cro made them by the loaders of the Blaine and Arthur forces , but they refused to treat or name any terms other than naming the four delegates at large , and the tem porary chairman. ' The Arlhur leaders accepted the proposition of the Edinunda this morning , and the latter named An drews , \ \ hito , Edwin , Packard , Theodore Roosevelt and Senator John P. Gilbert aa delegates at large , and George Z. Ervin as temporary chairman. The Edmunds men claim from GO to 80 delegates , while the adherents of Arthur claim a few over 200. It requires 249 votea to control the convention , and should the combination hold there is likely to be a short session. A BLAINE MIS-MOVE. About noon the Blaine men changed their programme for delegates at largo , and substituted the names of Roosevelt and Gilbert , 'which are already on the combination ticket , for those of Sloan and Ervrin , endeavoring to break the combination. The Edmunds men refuse to accept this compromise. The convention was called to order at 12:30. : The roll ca'l ' showed the only contest would be on delegates from Mont gomery county. Roosevelt then nominated Nathaniel 0. Boynton , ( Edmunds-Arthur candidate ) for temporary chairman. Warner Miller moved to substitute tl o name of Edmund L. Pitts for tempoiary chairman. The roll call was then orofored FOR AHTIIUR AND ED3IUND3. The delegates from the 23d congress- BOU'IH ! district , this morning elected as delegates to the nitioual convention.

AVarner , of Wellington , Lununio county ; Judge J. A. Ambler , of Saline , Columbian ; ! county ; Hon.Vm. \ . II. West , of I3elle- fonlliinc ; Judge J. 13. Foruker , of Cin cinnati ; Gen. ' John lieatly , of Colum bus , and Hon. R. 0. Parsons , of this city. Ex-Gov. Foster ia also spoken of , but not to any great extent. It was said lait night that a ulato hud been prepared which is to include the name of Judge Forakcr , Geii. Boatty , Col. Parsons and u colored man. The col ored men will meet nt / > o'clock this afternoon and select one of their num ber to go before the convention as their candidate. Those already mentioned for the place arc llev. Poindoxter , of Columbus ; Walter S. Thomas , of Dole- ware , ox-assistant clerk of the atato senate ; Hon. John P. Green , of Cleve land ; Col. Robert Ilarlan , of Cincin nati , and C. L. Maxwell , of Xenla. There seems to bu considerable feeling in favor of the nomination of a colored man. Gen. Grosvoner Raid last night : "I would like to see a colored man go as a delegate-at-large , and if they agree oji a delegate ho can bo elected. " Gen Grosvoner expressed himself as favor able to the election of Col. Parsons. The delegation will o to Chicago unin- atincted and will probably Btand twofer for Dlaine and two for Sherman. The saddest sight of the convention wis witnessed tills morning at the Wodtlell House. Hon. J. II , Warren Kolfer sat apart by himself , sad-eyed and for lorn. No one took any notice of him , nnd ho was nnulo an object of extreme pity. It is safe to assort that lia will not be a delegato-at-largo to the Chica go convention. The Sherman men arc rallying tbeli forces to-ilay , ami claim they aio gain ing strength anil recruits every hour. They say thai if tlio Dlnluo men hold amass mooting to-night , as pioposeil , it would result in the election of Sher man delegates with Shoiman instruc tions. They claim it will kill lllaiuo's chances. The platform adopted by the conven tion will include resolutions condemn ing congress for its notion on the wool question , and condemning the Ohio leg- islutmo for its disgraceful actions. A resolution will bo offcied suggesting John Sheunan as the most available candidate for president ; a resolution cmloising the administration of Presi dent Arthur , will bo adopted ; a rcso- titloii endorsing the Scott liquor law nlso. The Blaine men are putting forth every effort to have a solid Blaine state delegation sent to Chicago. Last night the Sherman men were disposed lo talk of a compromise , proposing to aeiul the lelcgation uninstnicted for any cniuli- late , but the supporters of the Maine statesman would agree to nothing that would dctiact in the least from the strength of their candidate in the nat- onal convention. CLLVELAhD , O. , April 23. The Ohio republican convention was called to or der this afternoon in the Tabernacle by Ion. J. 0 Converse , chairman of the state central committee.

The remainder of the session was occu- > iod in the organization of preliminaries. Tomo'row , the work of nominating a state ticket and electing delegates to the 'hicago ' convention. During nis speech General Grosvernor mentioned Sherman's name which pro voked loud cheering. Toward the close 10 referred to the necessity of nominat ing a presidential candidate who can carry Ohio , whereupon a delegate shout ed , "Blaino can do it , " and the conven tion cheered with redoubled vigor. The convention then took a recess till to morrow , after the announcement of com mittees.

Cdldwoll , from South Dakota , and Major Kdwarc from North Dakota , each attempted the capture of the temporary organization for their respective factions , J. 0. Saoby was nominated by the North Dakota faction , and J. H. Kiuj , by the southern crowd. Both were declared clared elected and both took the chair. Both chairmen immediately called 01 their respective clergyman for prayer.bu the clergyman who started first was al i lowed to hold the floor. r A call of counties wai tben resorted to 'to settle the tejiporary chairman contea and resulted in favor of South Dakota and ! .
