PROGRESS OF THE CANVASS.

TpY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.1
washington. April 4-The last week has seen
.omethng of lull in the incessant, almost
feverish activity which since March 10 mas
marked the progress Of the canvass for the Re-
,uh,can Presidential nomination. Only one
State Convention for the election of delegates 10
81 Louis has been held-that memorable one at
Concord. whose rather unexpected outcome Is
still an inexplcable mystery to Senator Chandler
and the other managers of Speaker Reeds cam
naign in New-England. In Oklahoma. indeed a
territorial Convention held on March %
too late to allow its doings to be chronicled In
last Saturdays review of the progress OF the
Republican canvass Yet even with the addition
OF Okahoma's six delegates. the list or eIectiohs
for the week just ended is shorter one than
for any similar period since the beginning OF
March In all. sixty additional delegates have
been chosen bringing the total Of those already
elected TO 1885, little less than half of the full
membership of the convention.
SENATOR CHAMBERS DISCONTINUE.
The most notable incident Of the week has
been Of course the highly amusing discoHl-
future Of Senator Chandler In the New-Hamp-
shire Convention. which upset all his political
plans by declaring In Its platform its entire
satisfaction with either Reed or Mckinley AS the
party's Presidential candidate. Mr.. Chambers
epstolary explanations or what happened al
Concord have created amusement. and there
are undoubtedly other versions equally divert
ing yet to como.
In Oklahoma Speaker Reeds friends scored
notable victory and apparently captured the
solid Territorial delegation Senator Cullom sus-
tained another serious reverse in Illinois, where
he lost his horne Congress district to the Nc
Kinley forces after animated campaign. In
Pennsylvania Major Mckinley also secured two
delegates in the Pittsburg district. once more
breaking the solidity Of Senator Quay's support
10 his own State. Massachusetts elected four
teen district delegates during the week. Scat
tering elections also occurred in Pennsylvania.
New-York South Carolina. Georgia. Virginia,
Ohio. Illinois and Nebraska. In South Carolina
two delegates were chosen who announced that
they would vote at ST. Louis for ex-President
Harrison
The 1876 delegates far chosen come from the
following States:
