some time ago the Grand Pacific Hotel were ready
for their use Ne himself arrived hero last

leased for the headquarters of the Delegation Ihess
parlors have the place OF honor In tho hotel at the
head Of the grand staircase, and being only ono MOOR
above the street are easy Of access Ranged on either
side of the parors are rooms that will BIO occupied by
New-York's eminent delegates a'-large and by many
of the district delegates The position Of the rooms
OF the delegation VIII be the most conspicuous OF any
In the hotel, and they wore selected In view OF inc
prominence OF the delegation. The rooms next 10 Inc
erand parlor WIN be occupied by Senator scock, who
heads the New-york delegation. Across the halfway
will be that of his trusted political adviser, Senator
Hendricks, OF Syracuse, who landed Mr. Hscock
winner in tho Senatorial struggle OF 1887. Mr. Hen
bricks so skiulIy manoeuvred his little company DO

General Knapp was asked to-day by Tribune
correspondent his views regarding the attitude OF the
Ncw-York state delegates toward the various candi
dates.
81 Think he said in reply, that there has been
no concentration by the New-York delegates as yet
upon any one as our delegates atlsrge como here un
pledged and uninstructed So do the representatives
Of our Congressional Districts. We have excellent
body of men, Rarely have we had better delegation.
They come hore in my opinion, in delbcrative MOOD
ready to take that candidate who Will best represent
thu Republican party and who can carry the most
States Many of our delegates favor Mr. Dcpew
When he comes and looks the ground he can
decide whether not 10 become aiirmafiyely can
ddate; 1 Judge that we could unite ne deieganon
upon him. II is the purpose OF the delegation, as
read tho minds of the delegates, to unite upon some
ono and not 10 dissipae the great influence New
candidates.. We have done that in the past. and l
as w ss the folly h he Az u eO so %
one Tho delesstion. however, win not hold joint
meeting until Monday night
