Last June the delegation from Albany County
70 the State Convention met and discussed a,
length the political conditions which existed al
that time and which might exist In the fali' ana
/, was unanimously agreed between all the
delegates TO the convention. with the exception
Of Superintendent Easton. that they would
stand together upon all matters which might
come before the convention. ana that Wheh
there was A difference or opinion among theHi
the wish Of the majority would prevail Ihere-
fore tho claim made ny the Governors man
ayers that a certain number Of votes In the Al
hany delegation will be cast for him al the COM
ing State Convention is a mistake The GOV
ernur will receive the vote Of the entire dele
CATION from the county 81 Albany II majority
Of that delegation favors him. lf IL docs not
he will receive the vote If Mt. Easton and no
other. unless pledges voluntarily made by the
delegates last June are violated. From what /

pedicncy Of the Governors denomination.
