Ii ought to be added here that the resolutions as
originally prepared and telegraphed by the Asso-

delegates this day chosen requested to present

nomination." This concluding clause was not read
to the Convention, and necessarily was not acted on
so that the resolution stands mere presentation

resulted as follows each county voting for
four candidates: State Senator Leon Albeit

have been almost equally divided, with the chances
in favor of Kelsey. But both delegations passed a
resolution directing the Chairman TO cast their vote
solidly, between MeSsrs. Stockton and Kelsey, for
that one having the majority in the Congressional
District by which both were presented-the lid.
This gave Mr.. Stockton both these huge delegations
and his large majority, as he had succeeded in carry

THE TROPHIES OF INDUSTRY.
A TIMELY WORD TO VISITORS.

WHAT TO DO on REACHING PHILADELPHIA TO
AVOID IMPOSITION
IRON THE REGULAR CORRESPONDENT THE rRTBUNE.J
PHILADELPHIA, May 23.--All things considered,
there will be no better time TO visit the Exhibition
than in these last days of May and tho first week in
June. The weather is perfect, the flowers, trees,
and greensward in the grounds are looking their
best. The city is remarkably healthy. Lodgings
abundant and comparatively cheap. With the
heats of midsummer will undoubtedly come great
crowd of visitors for we Americans rule, select
the Of the year for pleasure trips when travel
is burden rather than pleasure. The wise, who
have learned by experience the discomforts OF
riding in railway cars and sleeping two in
bed in six by nine rooms in the dog-days,
will improve the coming fortnight for seeing the
Exhibition, or defer their visits until september.
Let me offer word of advice to visitors who desire
to practice economy. Don't be induced TO pay I'M
reasonable prices for boar by the plea that the city
IS crowded. Ii is not crowded, and you can have
choice of a hundred rooms any day. Buy guide
book. Study the map of the city and street-car
lines. Then invest two cents in a copy of The
Lodg9, in which you will find every morning three
OF four columns of rooms to let advertised. Start
out in search of quarters that meet your ideas as to
cost and comfort and you will be pretty to find
just what you want in an hour or two. have heard
of one or two hotels on the European plan charg-
ing 81 a day for a room without board. No one
ought t0 submit to such an imposture. There are
scores of private houses that offer large, we'll
furnished room with breakfast and supper, for " a
day. and the supply Of such accommodations thus far
considerably ouiruns the demand.
