manned for many hours. There was
an ancient gentleman at the table,

century ago at college, by whom the
novelist was much attracted and es-

THE NEXT MEETING.
lDY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUSE.l
ALBANY, March 2.-John w. Vrooman, Clerk of
the Senate aud Secretary of the Republican State
Committee, returned from New-York to-day, where
he had been to make arrangements for the meeting
the committee there on Tuesday. lie states that
ali the preparations for the meeting are complete
and that there promises to be large attendance.
The committee will probably have TO take
under consideration some of the disputes
that have arisen IN regard to distilct
representation at the National Republican
Convention and sec If recommendations cannot be
made which will smooth away all difference. In
two or three of the Congressional districts the Re-
publican voters have not been able to como to an
agreement regarding the proportion of representa-
ion each county composing the district shall have in
the convention. In the Erie and Niagara district, for
instance, an attempt was made last week to hold
conference on the subject, but the representatives
of Niagara County would not attend it, fearing
that the proportion of delegates of their
county at the Congressional District Con-
vention might be lessened. In the opinion
of the members of the State Committee the only
safe rule to follow in making up the proportion OF
delegates of each county is that adopted by me
committee itself IN drawing up t1e scneGuIe aOt tno
election of delegates to the State convention.
There is one delegate for every Assembly district
and additional delegates for certain proportion
of Republican votes that may be cast at q State
election.
