intendent George w. Aldridge. Colonel Archi-
bald E. Baxter. Senator Lexow. Congressman
| Frank S. Black Of Troy; Senator John Raines
| Congressman Benjamin B. Odell, jr., and John
| F. Parkhurst, of Bath. were among those who
were doing their best to impress upon the as
sembled representatives of the people that their
chances for nomination were excellent.
Great effort was shown to create an impress
sion favorable to the power Of Superintendent
Aldridge. and the certainty that the counties
which have fallen under his influence through
his manipulations Of the Public Works patronage
will send delegates to Saratoga for the head OF
the Public Works Department for Governor.
Friends Of other candidates laughed at Mr..
Aldridges pretensions. and int:mated that T. c.
