Cleveland's Administration.
Maurice j. Power said: I'VE must elect a
cOntcsting delegation. for that is the only peg
upon which we can hang Ocr protest against the
February snap convention. ] find the only OPP
position 10 the oontesting delegation comes from
those Cleveland men who yet have power within
the Hill organization. IL seems 10 me they want
TO say good word for Cleveland and yet
afraid of losing their position in the Hill organize
tion. In other words, they want to eat their
bun and yet keep their penny, bnt in my opinion
the bold policy is the hest one. We ought 10
send contesting delegation. otherwise Mr.. Hill
and his friends will say that we did not have
strength enough i'll this State to dare to manifest
it,"
Ex-senator Norton Chase, Of Albany said :
Our delegation UNANIMOUSLY favOrS the election
OF a cOnesting delegation We would not come here
merely TO attend a mass meeting. Charles y.

ton, but iniltnated that he did not think II

nominated and David j Hill defeated.

State Committee tomorrow shows That TIE eaders

present faction permanent one, and resist for
