NEW YORK, May 10.-The composition of
the delegates chosen to the State convention
at Rochester generally bears out the state
ment that Mr.. Blaine is the first choice of
the Republicans of this State, and Chauncey
M. Depew their alternate candidate. Dele
gates chosen last night at Cooperstown are
unanimously for Blaine. Strong Blaine res
olutions were adopted with enthusiasm at
Utica. At Lockport, the delegation favors
Blaine with Depew as second choice. In the
convention in the 31st Congressional district,
held Yesterday at Rochester. the delegates to
Chicago were uninstructed, but are under
stood to favor Blaine with Depew for can
didate if Mr.. Baine's name is not pre-
sented.
Massachusetts In Line.
Ex-Congressman William A. Russell. who
is a wealthy New England paper manufac-
turer, was in New York the other day on
business. Talking about political affairs in
the Bay State, he said: 'We really have
very little politics at the present time. The
delegates to Chicago have been nearly all Sc
lected and will be sent the pledge pre-
pared to select the best man for the party"
"What was said of your State having been
so friendly to Mr.. Blaine?"
Eyes, there was very friendly feeling
toward Mr.. Blaine expressed there but not
in any way to the delegation. / think the
general and prevailing sentiment among
Massachusetts Republicans is that we ought
to select the next Presidential candidate
with such care that we may be sure Of elect,
ing him. If general consultation should
prove that Mr.. Blaine is the available man,
Massachusetts will be in line for him, and IL
some other man should seem more available,
