Republican Politics.

Two meetings are to be held here this
week, the first on Monday night at the
Cooper Institute to support WILLIAM Nc
KINLEY of Ohio for President, and the sec
ond at the Grand Central Palace on Tues
day night, when the Republicans will choose
their delegates at large to the st. Louis Con-
v%ention, committing them at the same time,
explicitly and cordially, no doubt, to the
support in that Convention of the Hon.
LEVI p. MORTON as first choice of the En-
pire State Republicans. OF these two meet
ings, the second, of course, will be the more
important, for its deliberations will he
conducted by the chosen representatives Of
the Republican party in each of the $50
districts of the State, convened to declare
in n formal and definite manner the pref
erence of the Republican electors; whereas
Monday nights meeting will be a promis-
cuous local Gssemblage favorable to Nc
kINLEY, but having no authority to speak
even for those Republicans of this city who
favor him. That is to say, five of the
eight Congressional districts into which the
city is divided, have elected Morton dele
gates to the st. Louis Convention, and in
three other districts there are contests and

Monday nights Mckinley meeting at
Cooper Union will be in fact Il demonstra-
tion designed to break the force and min
imize the influence of the Republican State
Convention of the evening following. Gen.
WAGER SwAYNE Of the Ohio Society will
preside at Monday nights meeting, and the
chiefspeakers will be Ohio Republicans resi-
dent in the city, with some anti Platt Re
publicans from Erie county, Mayor JEwETT
of Buffalo among them. There will be music
by "A military band and songs by glee club,
and all the Buckeyes in town will appear
in Cooper Union, unless, as the projectors of
the demonstration hope, there is an over
flow meeting, in which case the rare spec
taclc will be witnessed of a political gather
ing with some Ohio men ON the outside.
Tuesdays State Convention will be pre-
sided over, according TO the present pro
gramme, by n Rochester man, State Senator
CORNELIUS PARSONS of the Beer and Flower
City. There will be music by n military
band, but no glee club, unless Mr.. PLAT
should sing, He probably won't sing, as
the surroundings of Lexington avenue are
much less conducive to melody than is the
region of Avenue A, where, recently, he

Republican in town is pleased to recall.
Governor MORTON deserves we'll of his Re
publican fellow citizens, and there can be no
doubt that he will be supported in no grudg-
ing way b. the representatives of the Re
publican party. lie has represented a New
York constituency in Congress with credit

duties which deVolve by law upon the Vice

majority ever given to a Republican candi-
date, by his careful, discreet, and public
spirited administration as Governor, he has
conserved to his party the political fruits of
its triumph in 1894, and he has made him
