IL Is hardly possible that he expee's to
carry the project 10 a successful 'ssue in
the convention. The capital question has
not been discussed to any extent amongst
the delegates. and there is 10 well defined
feeling amongst them as To the most sp-
propriste place of its location. Ii seems
likely that they win not disturb the pres
ent seat. and they may leave the
matter entiieiy to the legislature. II
they do not do this. their prob
