II Is said here that Governor Foraker, OF
Ohio, has written Hon. james A. Frazer
of Rockbridge, one OF the .Mahoneites,
a letter siding With them. This Is odd.
While Foraker Is alleged to be for sherman
his sincerity has been doubted, and II this
letter is what It is claimed 10 be, 1t may well
be concluded that he Is not very desirable
statesman. The Malone folks are consider
ably exercised over the report. The letter
ia withheld from the press until Foraker

by Malone. These chairmcn are required
10 certify the names Of delegates elected.
In many instances, n is alleged, these chair
