Senator John Raines. an alternate-at-

addition, there were present twenty-four
of the seventy-four Congressional district
delegates, and besides. Gen. Woodford
received letters from twenty-nlne Con-

declared that Gov. Hughes would go into
the Chicago convention with 10 delegates
at his back on the first ballot. 6s of them
from New York State Gen. Woodford
declined TO tell from what States the re-
naming "A delegates are to come.
GEN Woodford addressed the confer

be withdrawn from the Presidential can
vass is absolutely without foundation. If
nominated. he will do his best TO secure
the victory Of our party in November.

choice for the Presidency. During that

controlled nearly seventy OF the seventy
eight delegates 10 the Chicago convention
These facts were stated by several Re
publicans who attended tO-day's confer
ence. and they made it known in as in
cislve words as possible that the alleged
utterances Of the Roosevelt Republicans
were largely responsible for to-day's con-
ference.
In other words, the friends Of Gov.
Hughes thought II time TO take some
steps by means OF to-day's conference to
let it be known to Republicans ali over
the country that the comment of the
Roosevelt Republicans regarding the sit
uation in the State OF New York was

Baltimore, April S0-The Republican
State convention to-day elected as dele
gates-at-Iarge Representative Sydney E.
Aiudd and George A. PearTe. Gen. Felix
Agnus and William P, Jackson.
A revolt in four, of Representative
Jackson's counties led to a break in the
combination framed up by Mudd. and re-
suited in a victory for Pearre, the repre-
sentative Of the administration in this
State, whom Mudd ard Jackson sought
10 prevent from going to Chicago as
delegate-at-large.
Until two hours before the convention
met. Pearre was regarded a beaten man.
Then Jackson rounded up the counties in
his district for instructions and discovered
he could not control four of the nine.
These we're the counties OF Queen Anne.
Talbot, Caroline, and Worcester. The re
bellious leaders declared they would not
vote for James E. Ingram. who had been
pltted against Pearre, because he repre-
sented the strongest Democratic county
in a Democratic district, while ignoring
the Republican stronghold. which Pearre
represents. Jackson was so overcome he
almost cried. In vain he appealed to
the rebellious ones to stand by him.
When they left. he advised Mudd that
the Jig was up. as the fourteen votes Of
the rebeIlious counties gave Pearre enough
votes to win.
Stone Ignores Threat.
As a. last resort, Collector Stone. who
backed Gen. Agnus. of this city. as we'll

would beat Agnus unless Stone abandoned
Pearre. Stone ignored the threat arter
counting noses. He had p out Of lbs
votes for both candidates Mudd and
jackson then threw up the sponge and
agreed to the slate. which was elected.
Another victory gained by Stone and
Pearre was the Incorporation Of a resolu-
ton instructing the delegates to vote for

Some bore the rough visage, the I'M

lone man who will occupy most of our
attention was a distinct type by him
self Scarcely past middle age, his
hair was snowy white; his head and
shoulders had forward droop, yet at
times when called upon to preform
some duty that fell to his lot, he be-
