sional conventions, Jet to elect, iti Il apparent
that the anu-Blains sentiment y stroog
among the Representatives chosen, although
Of the Republicans q this state

from present indications that the 0resham
men willscomprise three-fourths Of sthe dele

probable that William z. Cogswell and E. A.

uuder-cover Blaine men. In the Second
Granville W. Harmon and Timothy L. Wood
run will b chosen. They are for Blaine hrst
and Depew second. In the Third, william A.

Searles Of Monticello and Charles P. ct. John
editor Of the Port Jarvis university, will b
the delegates. They are for Depew. In tn

triumphed over ex-Congressman Thomas Coz
nell, which means that there shall be an anti
Blaine or Gresham delegation. Congressman
Stephen Hopkins will undoubtedly 60 Will
Gen. Sharp. The Columbia utchess distric
will be represented by one Depew and on
Blaine man. Two Gresham men will repre-
sent the Troy district. They are ex-Congresa

A majority Of the delegation from the cit
Of New York is opposed to Mr.. Blaine, AM
there are enough positive anti-Blaine mel
from the other districts Of the state, electe,
BY the organized efforts Of the Conkling aver
gers and Arthur stalwarts to prevent Nj
Blaine frsm getting the delegation.
