"Ourdrectors have not met yet, so cannot say what
may be done. The extension about which the complaint
made has been taken away SO there is no danger
now"
But the jury reports the whole building unsafe !"
Yes; that's what cannot understand. don't see
what they had TO do with the building They were SIM

WHAT WERE THE UTICA INSTRUCTIONS

WHAT WERE THE UTICA INSTRUCTIONS
To ne Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: Il appears to have been universally assumed
that the Republican State Convention at Utica by
resolution instructed the delegates to the National
Republican Convention at Chicago in June next to
vote for General Grant as candidate for President
VIII the resolutions Of that convention bear out
that assumption The only resolution OF the COLI
vention on that subject appears in The TRIBUNE OF
February 90 and also in the Republican papers III
Troy and in this county and elsewhere, and reads as
fOllOws
Pesolred- That the Republicans OF New-YOrk believe
the reelection Of Ulysses s. Grant Presidential candl
date urgent Importance aud the delegates t0ls gay
assembled called upon aud Instructed 20 us
most earnest and united EFFORTS 10 secure MS Ho"""
ton.
That resolution appears to be entirely silent upon
the question of the delegates to Chicago and 1t can
scarcely be claimed that it refers to them by mpli'
cation II that be So is it not clear that the Utica
cagO upon any subject, much less to vote for the
nomination of General Grant as the Presidential
candidate Was the verbiage of the resolution
piece of sOphstry on the part of the author akin TO
that part of the declaration preceding the resolu-
ton on the subject of third Presidential term,
giving an impress not warranted by its phraseOl-
Ogy?
The resolution advocates the reelection of GEN
eral Grant as a Presidential candidate" Would it
not have been moro appropriate to have used tue
term denomination Is not the term usually used
in connection with an office, and not with the cam
didaCY for an office
Will not THE TRIBUNE enlighten its interested
readers on the subject of the Utca INSTRUCTIONS
