Harrisburg, April 2.-The Associated Press
dispatch sent from here yesterday relative TO the Repub
can delegation TO Cincinnati, is calculated to convey
wrong impression to the probable participants from
this state in the Cincinnati Convention No formal con-
sutaOn has yet been had the subject but 1t Is very
probable that Gov Geary will head the delegation that
ex-Congressmcn Moorehead of Allegheny, Cake
of schuylkill, Phelps and Barclay OF Armstrong,
Morris iof Philadelphia. and Russell of Bedford
will be of the NUMBER that Senator Mcclure ana ex-
Senators Lowery and Meyer will attend, and that ex-
Attorney-Gen. Bewsel exCollector Cake, Harding of
The Inquire, Lewis OF The Huntington Globe, Judge
Wiiston of Bedford, Scranton OF Luzerne, Joseph N.
Mcclure and BOmberger of Dauphn, Col. Simpson and
Sfer of Union Elder of MfliD PettiS of Crawford and
very many others whose names cannot recall VIII par
ticipate 1t settled that there will be one Of the
strongest delegations of Republicans from this State at
Cincinnati that represented the State i'll any Ma
tonal Convection aud it will not be less than 100 in
number.
Ex-Gov Curtin has resigned, ard will be home in less
than two months and his Secretary of State, the Hon.
Eli Slifer, will return from Europe this month am not
little in saying That they VIII sympathIze with the On
cinnat movement and heartily support us aeuoh 40 Is
worthy OF support.
While the action of Senator Mcclure is consistently
Republican il is apparent 10 all that he does not ympa
tine with the Grant organization .dt possession OF
the party u exhausted It's power in attempting TO de-
prlye him of his and to shield the Gray frauds from
investigation. after the President had used all the forces
OF his Administration 10 defeat him before the people;
II is olfoeeti6T iniTopnie that Mcclure and Curtin VIII
act in opnneiiinn ia each OIL - ne coming contest
Mcclure heT his own counsels, and his course on I'M
pOrant questions in the Senate bearing upon it's j.
Known only when he speaks or votes. He Is the balance
power in the Senate and likely to remain SO for an
other year.
