following query from the Chester County
(Penn,) Times:
A QUESTION For THE TRIBUNE.-Is the
New York Tribune as firm in its convictions

not carry Pennsylvania Would itimprove

The Tribune proceeds very ably to reply.
This reply is divided into three distinct an
swers. The ground of the first is, that the
editor of the Tribune does not assume to
speak for Pennsylvania and New jersey
Their delegates only are the authorized ex-
ponents of the Opposition sentiment of those
States in regard to the best man for the Presi-
dency, and those delegates will give ex-
preston to their opinions at Chicago. The
Tribune significantly remarks that what
ever they may say there, win not be lightly
regarded. - -S ~
In the second answer, the Tribune en-
phatically asserts that New York can be car
ried for ''any one of the statesmen who have
been suggested as the Republican candidate
for President, by 10000. majority" That
paper also says, on this point, that nine
tenths OF the Republicans of New York pre-
fer Gov. Seward; but if Mr.. Bates should be
the nominee at Chicago, while there WILDE
