delegates which the different cities, towns
and plantations are entitled to. Twenty
cities. tl4 towns, and SO plantations, en-
titled to 1911 delegates.
Republican State Committee.
Augusta, Maine, Jan. 2S 1895.
The basis Of representation in tho call
for the Republican State convention
to be held at Portland, Thursday,
April 9th, 1896, for the purpose Of nom.
mating two electors for President anu
Vice President of the United States, four
delegates at large and four alternates to
attend the national Republican conven-
ton to be held at st. Louis. Missouri
june 10th, 1896, is as follows:
Each city. town and plantation will be
entitled to one delegate and for each IS
votes cast for the Republican candidate
for Governor in 1894, an additional dele
gate. and for fraction of forty votes in
excess of seventy-fivc votes further
additional delegate.
That there may be no misunderstood
ing, the secretary OF the committee has
made classification of delegates based
upon this representation. The town or
plantation which threw seventy-four
votes is, under this CALL only entitled to
one delegate. In order to get a second
delegate 1t must have thrown seventy five
votes for the Republican candidate for
Governor in 1894. The fraction of forty
votes to give another delegate, must be in
excess of seventy five votes.
1t is hoped that if any errors are dis
covered in the list they will be promptly
reported to the secretary so that all mis-
takes may be corrected.

sufficient to disprove the rumor OF any

1t is thus impossible to get confirmation
or contradiction OF the report that the west

allied with the company, claim that the re-
port Is ridiculous.

The only way 1t could have been ac-

private negotiations with the large held

10 light. Control OF Bel telephone stock
is in the directory OF the company, IN
which neither the Western Union nor j.

New York Aug 22,-Western Union con-
tinued active through tie first hour of

early rise and fell from 80 I-2 to Tia

denial by Director Russell Sage of Boston

The general list held firm, but quiet. The
fact that the National Bank of Commerce,
one of the strongest institutions in the city,
had applied to the clearing house loan

construed by some operators, who contend

the strain in the commercial world. There
