| Up to midnight last night about $50 del
! egates to the National Republican league
| had arrived. The New York delega ton,
with headquarters at the Merchants, had
! twenty-siX arrivals registered, with about
! fifteen to come in the morning on Gov.
Roosevelts train. The delegation is
headed by Maj Totten, grandson of the
military hero after whom Fort Totten
! was named. The New York delegation
/ has a candidate for secretary in the per-
/ son of L. w. Mott. of Oswego, who has
| been a prominent league member in the
| state, ana the delegation also wants Mai
Fotten made member of the executive
| committee. Other notables in the New
York party are Frederick Easton of Al
bany, superintendent of public buildings;
Louis j. Anger, of New York city, leader
of the league in the borough OF Man
haitian; Hon. James T. Rogers, of Bing-
hamton, member of the legislature and
Myron A. Baker, of Albany, who comes
as the representative of about 500 colored
members OF the league from the Albany
district.
Speaking of the status of the Gold
Democrats of the state, a member of the
New York delegation said that it was
NkeIy to be less aggressive, though about
as well defined as in 1896. Many Gold
Democrats would probably refrain from
voting, instead of supporting the Repub-
lican ticket, as they did in 1885, because
there was feeling among them that
they had not received proper recognition
from the Republicans.
Only few of the Iowa delegates had
arrived at their headquarters at the
Merchants last night, the remainder be-
ing due in the morning with Gen. Hen
derson.
nj llG w IIuSOI only the GeInSyINdIlld
delegation had shown up in any num-
bers. About half waited for the Roose-
welt train. j. Hampton Moore is in
charge Of the party to come in the morn
ing, for whom ten rooms have been en-
| gagged.
Sam H Nichols an old-time Minneso-
tan, now Of Everett, was the only dele
gate from Washington state to report at
the Windsor headquarters, but half ID
dozen more will come in the morning
One of the picturesque figures in the
Windsor lobby last night was Col Saun-
ders of Helena, who came in adj
vance of the Montana delegation. The
Montana headquarters will be at the
Ryan today, but the colonel was around
getting acquainted. He is about six
and a half feet tall and his bulk easily
made path through the pack of dele
gates in the lobby. He would pass for
fat Kentuckian if there was such thing
as fat blue grass citizen.
Almost the entire Michigan lower Pen
insula delegation arrived yesterday and
reported at headquarters at the Aber-
deem. Those from the upper peninsula
are expected tomorrow. 1t is an en-
thuiastic delegation, and President Fen
ton predicts that Michigan will give the
Republican national ticket $1,000 majority
next fall; that full delegation of twelve
Republicans will be returned to congress,
and that Senator Mcmillan will be re-
turned practically without opposition.
The Michigan delegation faVors Isaac
Miller Hamilton, of Chicago, for the
presidency of the National league and d
reelection for Secretary Slime.
The New Jersey delegation has opened
!, T1n0 md
there is an active hustling committee to
see that the league convention of two
years hence goes TO some Eastern city,
preferably in New Jersey.
After the state league convention last
night Capt Van SAINT circulated for an
hour among the clan at the Windsor, ex-
tending his acquaintance. Congressman
Eddy, McCleary and Tawney and Lieut..
Gov Smith We're also in circulation, and
there was considerable call for Con-
gresham Morris, but he did not put in
an appearance.
Colorado and Kansas have the distinc-
ton of sending women delegates, Mrs.
Hodges, wife of the director of the Den
yer mint, representing the state of wom-
ems rights, and Mrs. NJ. Brown, coming
from Kansas.
Sam II. Nichols, of Washington, says
the Democracy of the state is badly split,
and that the Republicans will have
walkover. The Oriental trade, which is
regarded as certain to reach great dt-
! mansions in the near future, is the chief
argument In the case, and he believes
three-fourths of the people are for eX-
pansion, at least to the extent Of develop
ing Oriental trade. Aside from this he
says Washington is enjoying very gen.
eral prosperity, and there Is a disposi-
ton to let well enough alone.
Secretary Slime estimates that from
1,500 to 1880 delegates would be present,
while several thousand other Republic
ans from this and adjoining states will
be on hand to join in the meeting and
cheering. The opening session will be
called to order at 10 o'clock, the first ses-
sion being devoted chiefly to the well
come by the State LEAGUE and the city
| although the Introduction of Gov. Roose-
Welt to the convention is also scheduled.
The afternoon session will be given UP
largely to reports. The evening session
Col Stone will call to order and Sena-
tor c. x Davis will preside, making the
address of welcome to the guest of the
evening, Gov. Roosevelt.
