The objections to pledging the delega-

The objections to pledging the delega-
ton of New York to Mr.. Conkling are
stated in an article in the New York
Times of Monday. They are in part:
that nobody outside of the State has any
faith in the possibility of his nomination
that other candidates, and notably Blaine
and Bristow, have more popular strength
in New York than Conkling that his SUP
port in the Syracuse convention represents
the office holders of the State and not the
people, that pledging the delegation to
him will destroy the harmony in the State
election which is necessary to republican
success. The article also states that there
will be no objection at Syracuse to Civ
ing Mr.. Conkling full complimentary
vote at Cincinnati, but any attempt to
hand the delegation over to him will be
resisted.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1876-03-22

The Times article also intimates that the
delegates at Syracuse opposed to pedging
the delegates to Conkling will not be
bound by the action of the convention
should it adopt such pledge. They hold
that the State convention can only pledge
the delegates at large. Those chosen in
the Congressional districts, where the
voice of the republicans is Enthusiastically
against pledging the delegation to any one
in advance, cannot. it is commended, be
controlled by the State convention and
will not be. They will go to Cincinnati
and cast their ballots for whomsoever they
please as a candidate for the nomination
for President.

Hypophosphites.-An article called Fellows
Hypophosphtes has been advertised in the Pioneer
for several months, but we gave 1t little thought
except to collect the bill, until an instance of its
remarkable effects came under our observation.
A few years ago symptoms of consumption e1-
hibiteG themselves in the case of S-k-,.Jr,
ESQ.,, of Calais, who belongs to a family prcdis-
posed to the disease. His friends became alarmed
at the progress of his malady, and realizing the
chances as against him, he began to take Fellows
Ilypophosphites Instead of growing, worse his
health improved, and he now weighs fifty pounds
more than he did before he began to take the
syrup. We saw him last week, the picture of
health tipping the scales at two hundred avoir-
dupois. We have no interest in recommending
Ilypophosphites, except to benefit the sick and
afflicted. n roostook Pioneer. mar22- t&wlw

ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVE COM
MITEEE,

From special dispatch in the tele-
graphic columns, it will be seen that the
Democratic State Executive Committee
had quite a fall meeting yesterday at
Parkersburg. The ninth of June has
been selected as the time for holding the
State Convention and the previous de-
termination that Charleston should be
the place was adhered to. This latter
move was undoubtedly wise one, for
having settled upon Charleston in the
first instance, to have changed the To-
s,ion elsewhere would have but incens-
ed the people of that city, when it is es-
pecially desirous that harmony shall
exist throughout our ranks. Now if thu
Convention will give us good ticket
next June, brilliant success in Octo-
Der will be assured beyond a peradven-
ture.
