AT WORK AMONG THE pELEaATEs.
Pennsylvania Railroad Company representa-.

delegates to vote for Harrison. Ex-senator

GoRHAM SUMS UP THE SITUATION.
The Hon. George c. Gorham. ex-Secretary
Of the United States Senate. summed up the
situation to-day from his view point as fol.

determine which Of the candidates is safest
for the party at large. That State is we'll

Old-time friends of his on the dele

the vote Of California alone that should
be considered In coming to q conclusion.
They want to know who can command tho
most strength in the States in which the real
battle is to be fought. Without knowing the
preference Of all the delegates. It would soma.
