c.si in This State.
We ask your Immediate and considerato

| consequent implication that Will await
upcn refusal to submit to Or abide by

night with several influential Regular Re.

letter was discussed.
While tho chairman refused to say what

other inember CT tie State Committee
| said;
"Wc regard This letter really as con-
fession Of weakness on the part of the
| AGdicks men and Il collarse Of their forces

confer With the Aldick!tcs, but from

NOT TO De CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
You cat say positively that the Regu.
lars will not agree to a State convention
called under tho Addicks apportionmcnt
ton, which gavo the lower counties II
larger representation in tho convention.
This is where tie first hitch would como.
Tho Regulars also will agree to no com.
promise which does not mean the nban-
donmcnt by the Union Republicans Of
the fo,ich .Addicks.
"Thc Union Republicans simply want
to get in on the spoils or else they would
not be in hurry for this convention VII u
there Is really TO need for ore Hntil ret
year. When Chairman Browne ma s
his formal reply he will review tho VII,
situation, and l think make these points
We Will not bo caught by trap. I'll $
talk about Mckinley favoring any such
plan Il all npnscnsc. Just Ike many other
there is any further delay In distributing
the Offices 1t will simply be because tho
President has not tho tmG to attend TO
them or will tc away, and not because OF
any Addcks representations.
Tho absence Of Councilman Obeliy and
Kane presented a Democratic caucus for
Counclmanic Committees again last
night, Another attempted caucusing will
le made tonight. There arc nA cb angos
in the situation so far rs Is known. Mr..
O'Ncill still wants certain concessions and
1t is likely that ho will get them unless
some other member on the Democratic
side should happen to get it into his mind
that ho, and not Mr.. O'Neili, is iu tho
Democratic majority.
There is nothing to prevent any mombor
getting such an Impression, and If he does
The result will bo complicated.
1t was announced yesterday that Her.
man Il. F'rist Is candidate for city audi.
tor and not for trcasurer's clerk, against
George J. koberg. as we first announced,
THE leaves klobcrg clear field for his
position so far.
