II will bo observed that ono of these conventions
that in the XXVIth District, is to be held after the
Republican State Convention. This IS contrary to
the usage in this State, although several of the Con-
Gessona Districts in Ohio have adopted the practice,
and have not yet elected their delegates, although
the State Convention has been held. Tho XXvIth
District IS composed Of the Counties OF TIoga, Broome,
Madison and Chenango. In Tloga there fOremrly
lived Thomas c. Platt who despite many years resi-
dence In New York, Is still the leading Republican Of
tho county. II Is believed that Mr. Platts friends in
Tloga County have put tho Congressional District Con-
vention late in order to send him delegate to the
National Convention, If ths Republican State Conven
ton should fall send him delegate large.
Mr. Platts friends all the State intend II possible
10 elect him of the four delegates -at-large.
II disappointed in this they have the power without
question to send him a delegate from the XXVIth
District.
New candidates for delegates to the National Con-
vention sprnglng up in various Congressional dis
trlcts. Others who have been candidates are drop
ping out from ono another Thus Senator
Low who could have gone delegate from the XVIII

consequence OF work in the Legislature, he would
