to apply himself to after his holiday
was the condensation of his play
"Cromwell'-published in 1897, but
never acted,--so as to fit it for stage
representation; but nothing moro has
been heard Of 1t since. 1t is hardly

Fixed on the ground, is anything but

deserted him, and that newspapers are
trying to hound him to death.

ALBANY, March 2J.-Several of the leading Re-
publcans of the XXth Congressional District
which is composed Of the counties of Saratoga,
Schenectady Montgomery Fulton and Hamilton,
held conference In the Kenmore Hotel in this city
tonight. Among those present were Senator
Arkell ex-Congressmen George West and John II.
Star1n, Neil GinOur, superintendent of Public In
structiOn, ex-Assemblyman DelicOur, ). Potter
and Judge DHummedeu. The conference was held
in Senator Arkel's rooms and was for the purpose
of arriving at harmonious election
in the district of delegates to the
National Republican Convention. There has
been dissensiOn in the past in the district and it
was feared that differences might arise if there
should be closely contested election of delegates
to the State and National Conventions. A con-
ference of representatives of both factions was
therefore deemed advisable i'll order to ward off in
advance any bitter contest.
The meeting was a highly successful one. An
amicable understanding reached. If carried
out it will lead to harmonious convention
when the Congressional convention of that
district meets at Schenectady on April 16. 1t
delegation to Chicago will represent every shade OF
Republican sentiment John ii. Starin, personal
friend of President Arthur, under this agreement
will be one of the delegates, and George West, who
is said to favor the nomination of Mr. Blaine, will
be the other. The delegates will, however, not be
instruct the delegates Thus, although Mr. Starin
favOrs the nomination Of President Arthur, he will
not be pledged to cast his vote for him, nor will
