From The Philadelphia inquirer.
Twenty Delegates were elected on Sat-
urday to the Republican StateConvention,
and of these sixteen win vote for William
4. Stone. He defeated Charles w. Stone
in both Erie and Crawford counties and
John Wsnamaker in Bradford county.
Attorney General Mccormick succeeded,
after the hardest struggle be has yet had,
in maintaining his hold upon his own
coauty Of Lycoming, and the four dele
gates from that county are the only ones
chosen on Saturday who will not support
Colonel Stone.
The Inquirer printed few days ago a
table showing in detail the standing of
the delegates elected up 10 that time
Since then twenty three delegates have
been chosen. seventeen of whom are for
Stone. as follows: Sullivan, one; Juniata,
one; Crawford, four; Bradford. five
Erie. six. Mr.. Wanamaker will have
four in Lycoming aud Mr.. Connell the
two chosen in the Second district of
I.ackawanna county. Outside Of Phila-
delphia aud Pittsburg Mr.. Wanamake er
has now nine delegates in all. Charles
W. Stone has the nine in his own Con-
gressional district and possibly may
reasonably lay claim to one in Lawrence
and one or two in Butler, but this claim
is vigorously disputed. Mr. Leisenring
has his own county OF Luzerne and it is
fair to suppose that Mr.. Connell viii re-
ceive the solid support of his own county

1T is difficult to define a control. The
class OF men who have become interested in

exercise a dominating influence. With them
the stock CT the Baltimore and Ohio is in
stronger hands than ever before. They
are strong factors in the business world
