fully prepared plans of some of the leading Demo-
Gratis and Republicans of the XXVIIth Senate Dis
trict materialize. E. Watson Gardiner, of Amster-
dam, will not be indorsed by the Democrats of the
district the Independent Republican nominee
for Senator. To-day 1t is learned that there Is a
probability that Arthur D. Meade. Editor of THE
Schoharie Republican" will be the Democratic
nominee. It all hinges. however on the action
taken by delegates of Fulton and Hamilton coun-
ties whether Mr. Meade is nominated. The dele
gates from Montgomery County are pledged for
Mr.. Gardiner. but those from Fulton and Hamilton
are unpledged. The Schoharie County delegation
will be with Mr.. Meade
Mr.. Gardiner it is admitted, would have a large
vote in Montgomery County. because of his inde-
pendence in politics and his declaration against
bosssm. 1t is expected that the Senate conven-
ton will be held in the of a few days at
Middleburg, Schoharie County. Judge H. V. Borst.
the Democratic State Committeeman of this dis
tr1ct has been credited with being opposed to the
Gardner Endorsement, but he says he will take no
side In the matter. He was however, opposed to
the democrats of Montgomery County passing
