large body of delegates have already arrived.
Their qualities clearly indicate that the Cunven-

The common talk tonight Is tnat the Repub-

carry the state. Some Of them really act as
though they believed they could do II. They
promise tc nominate splendid ticket, which
on personal grounds would be worthy OF an
election They claim that this fell people will
look more than usual to the character, ability,
and general fitness Of candidates, and they de-
clare thai In these particulars their ticket win

Democratic magnates who control the State
Government and dictate the policy OF the party
intend to nominate a set Of small, weak, inferior
men who can bc easily managed and will have

under the tall tower, prepare to be devoured.
A. B. Cornell Is mentioned for temporary
