fBy TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrBUNEl
Canandagua, N. Y, Aug. 9-John Raines
has been hurrying around Ontario County to-
day. beseechng people to support him at
the Republican cauc.ses, which will be held
tomorrow In every town in the county. The
delegates to the Senate District Convention will
practically be chosen then, although the AS
sembly District Convention at which they will
be elected formally. will not until next
Tuesday. The Republican voters OF Ontario
County therefore, will Immediately be called
upon to determine whether or not they wish
man nominated for Senator who during his re-
cent term a constant ally Of Tammany Hall
and an opponent Of New-York reform measures.
II they desire man OF different type, an op-
ponent OF Tammany Hail. supporter OF the
reform plans Of the Republican party, they will
select Frank II Hamlin.
There is general opposition in the county to
the nomination Of Raines. but whether this feel
ing will manifest itself at the caucuses no one
can yet determine. Raines had the cunning 10
call the caucuses at a moment when the farm
ers are busy getting in their crops, hoping that
they will refrain from voting and that by the
aid of the Democrats In the villages and the
men he has had appointed to Office in Albany he
will be able to win the majority Of the delegates
to the Assembly District Convention.
GOOD NEWS FOR Mr.. HAMLIN
Mr. Hamin has received favorable reports
from every part Of the county. No one can say
that ne has not made forcible canvass since he
was selected as a candidate for Senator by the
anti-Patt Republicans Saturday last. He
has travelled over fifty miles day by carriage,
informing the Republican voters Of his candidacy.
He remained here in Canandaigua this morning
and received at his law office visits from many
Republicans who pledged him their support In
his canvass Mr.. Hamin said he thought the
outlook was propitious. The reports he had re-
ceived indicated that his friends would carry
majority of the Republican caucuses tomorrow.
He had been surprised at the strength gained Dy
the movement against Raines In 80 short time
In six days the ant-Raines Republicans had
organized the county against him. This was due,
he thought. to Mr. Raines's unpopular course IN
Albany The people in Ontario County hardiy
favored tee reformation Of the governments OF
cities They desired Senator who would CO.
operate Loyalty with the Republicans OF New
York in reforming the government Of that city;
Republicans here also realized that Raines would
not be supported in Wayne County.
1t may be stated that while Hamlin would be
acceptable to Wayne. the selection of Ranes dele
gates in Ontario would bring forward some
Wayne County candidate for the position ana
with a strong probability of his nomination. as
Wayne County will have majority OF the dele
gates in the Senate District Convention
WAYNE COUNTY MAY NAME MAN.
Iieutenant-Governor Saxton. 1t is we'll known,
only awaits the news from Ontario County to-
morrow night to decide whether to encourage
Wayne County candidate not. II Hamlin or
some other loyal Republican is selected and
Raines is rejected Mr. Saxton will try to bring
over Wayne County to his support. III, on the
other hand. Raines is selected, then the can

state Treasurer several years ago. pelnR among
them Anson s. Ward formerly Deputy Secre-
tarv of State also would make good candidate
RAINES SPENDING MONEY.
The latest news tonight is that the supporters
Of Raines arc beginning to spend money In his
interest. That Is sign Of desperation 1t In
dicates that they have no hope OF electing a
majority of the delegates to the Senate District
Convention in his favor by legitimate means.
Whose money is being expended? Is II TAM
many Halls money? Is 1t the money OF the
Democratic State Committee? That committee
could well afford to expend its money to bring
about Rainesis nomination, for II he Is nominated
the Democratic party will have good chance
of carrying the district.
Ontario County and Wayne County have both
sbown a rebeious spirit within ten years when
mon we're nominated of whom they disapproved
Mr. Raines therefore, can with good reason be
susnected of having Democratic support at this
ti,ne He has already had 1t. and doubtless will
have Il once more. Mr.. Hamlin Is relying solely
unon legitimate means of carrying the caucuses.
Tot a dollar will be expended In his interest.
He wishes to go to Albany, II he does go, with
clean hands.
