Conventional Little ''Soreheadism."

The republicans last evening opened their fall
political campaign by electng delegates to represent
the several Assembly districts at the State Conyen
ton, which is to meet on Wednesday next al Sara
toga In most OF the districts the election passed
or quietly, and there was a feeling OF greater
unanmty apparent than has been witnessed at ike
gatherings for the past two OF three years.
In nearly all the districts there was very large
vote cast The principal topic OF discussion was re-
gardlng the probable candidates to be put before the
people. In three districts two sets OF delegates were
elected, both of which claim to be regular.n In the
Eighteenth district Christopher Pullman ran a
ticket with posters substituting himself for Thomas
Rlghtmlre, but he was badly defeated. There was
considerable interest IN the Eleventh district, in
which Edwin d. Morgan was substituted for James
L. Hastie the defeated Ticket and John II. White
and Thomas c. Aston for John S. Gilmore and Jacob
Wells. The following the names OF the delegates
