Stage of the Campaign.
Hon. George W. Delamater, State Sena-
tor and candidate for Governor, while in
the city yesterday, said he was in excellent
health and spirits and that his canvass was
going along swimmingly. He had nothing
to say of his opponents or their respective
campaigns. When asked if he considered
Armstrong's two delegates committed to any
candidate, he said he understood from the
tenor of the resolutions passed that both
men were friendly to Senator Quay, but
were absolutely unpledged to any candi-
date In reference to the Philadelphia
situation, Senator Delamater thought he
would be better able 10 discuss the subject
when he reached the City of Brotherly

Senator Delamater expressed himself in
very hopeful terms of the prospects, and
said that any time would have suited him
Just as we'll as the date chosen by the State
Committee for the State Convention. He
left for Philadelphia this morning on the
800 train. During the afternoon he visited
a number of gentlemen who are in the po-
liticaI way, and listened with interest to the
views advanced,
