It was believed that his presence la. this city

Foster, however, diplomatically evaded any
questions tending to show tbat bo had anything I
to do with LI Hung Chang's reception.
"Tho Government of the I'r.lted ?utsi,"
he said, "receives the Viceroy. I am not aa
offi'ilal of the Government."
Mr. Foster then bowed courteously and
started for the elevator
"But are )au not engaged, as a friend of

Mr. Foster was asked.
"As n friend of the Viceroy," said the ex
PeoreUry. "I am nntnrallj personally Inter- I

to see him."
Here tho diplomat took two steps more to- '

The llepcbllraa national ramtalgnsr at
headquarters received word yesterday tbat Mr.
Hanna clgh. defer his visit to New York until
Wednesday. It was said that be would remain
In New York only a short time, a the work of
the campaign Is going en well, and the sosad
money canto Is gaining croand every day In th
pots that had been tainted with the free-. liver
erat. It Is becoming more apparent every day
that Hi. Hanna will put tn most of his heavy
work In the States of Illinois. Indiana, Wiscon
sin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Michigan. Already
oand-tnocey literature by tbe ton Is being
sent out from the Chicago branch of Re
publican National Headquarters.
The Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio
was at National Headquarter for a few mo
menu. He will sail oa the St. Paul to-morrow
morning to meet h'.. daughters In London, and
will return with them on the New York, arriv
ing here about Sept. 8. Senator Foraker said
tbat there was not the slightest doubt In th
world as to Ohio on election day, and he Pre
dicted a majority In that State for McKlnley of
150.000. He added
"Ihave not visited Indiana or Illinois, but I
have friends In those Sutes who give me th
situation, and Indiana will ctve. In my estima
tion, a strong majority fcr McKlnley. I believe
also that Iillno's Is to go solidly Republican.
Certainly one term of Gov. Altgeld ought
to b enough tor th citizens of the Prairie
SUte. It la altogether too early In
th campaign to make anything like de
cisive predictions. Everybody should work hard
and wrIL We had a great meeting at Columbus
on Saturday. Were I In the habit of making
predictions, I wonld say that so power on earth
could bring about Bryan's election. His utter
and absolute failure at the Madlioa Square
Garden meeting has cone all over the country.
Thelssos that he reprceau cannot star.d tbe
strata of the campaign."
The Hon. Garret A. Hobart, the Vlce-Presl-
deatlal candidate, ar.d other national cam-
, paigaers said that they were pleased with
I.Mr. lianas', dectelon tbat there ia to te no

j Mr. Hanaa change his mind and decides upon
i a ninth member he will came. It was announced.
J Mr. Hobart himself. But this Is not llkelv. aad
j Is not neres.ry. for the reason that Mr. Hobart
Is at headquarters dally, and Is doing the hard.

. The Republicans of New York county are to
I hold their prlmarle to-day to elect delegates to
an Atsemoly district Convention which wul
select delrgates to the Slate Convent.oa to be
held In Saratoga on Aug. 25. to the county Con.
ventlon and to the Congress Convention.
The local district Conventions will be
held on Ace. 21. It Is already pre
dicted that the Piatt men wl.I have all
but about 35 of th 135 delegates to tbeState
Convention to be sent from New York countr.
There is friction la half a dozen of the dlstrfu.
the arre which has been going on ror several
years. It comes from the old factional adversa
ries of Mr. Piatt and Is Irreconcilable. After
the closest scrutiny the estitiate Is tbat the
, Piatt men will certainly havn 000 of the TSO '
i delegates In tbe Saratoga Convent:- -
I Naturally, a the day approaches for tbe Con
vention the gossip over the candidate tor Gov
ernor Increases. Every effort by Mr. Plait's
friends has been made to av.ertain the came of
the candidate he most favors. All tbat he will
say Is tbat alt of tbe candidates ar eood Re
I nubllcais and worths of the highest office In the
Sute. He will not declare in favor of any candi
dal uattl he has looked over the ground after he
reaches Saratoga. After he makes a decision It
is a dollar to a cruller that the man he favors
will get the nomination.
There has been m red-headed talk about a '

adays. Even the ancient enemies of Mr. Piatt I
In tbe I nlon League Club will have nothing to .
do with him. He is not considered of enough
conseae.nce In Republican circles to waste half i
a dozen lines over. He has demonstrated that !
he bas been actuated by personal motive.
The anti-Plait Republicans In the Sute have
said openly that the only way to defeat Mr. Piatt
Is lo defeat him within the party. There are '
exceptions. of course, and yet the Republicans,
who are ready to co all lengths, do no; propose
lo take extreme steps In a Preeldentlal rear.
It looks every day as If tbe contest "for Gov- ,
ernor had narrowed cowa between Aldrldge of
Monroe. WadsworTh of Livingston, and Fish of
Putnam counties. Eve-y now and then you
bear something to the erfect that possibly the
old ticket of Morton aad saxton wllj l.. re
nominated at Saratoga. Gov Morton, however, '
has repeatedly declared that he cannot beacaa- i
eld ale for renomlnatlon. i
It was poln'ed out vesterday by the friends of '
the candidates who have been hustling for dele- '
gates that Gov. Morton could not change his
views at ibis late day. for the reason that the I
delegates e.ectcd in mxny instances ar sledged '
to their respective favorite.
In view of tnls sl'uatioa It was said that it I
would be necessary for Gov. Morton to come
out with a flat declaration that he desired a re
nomlnatton. and in tbai case there is little
doubt that all nf the candidates would with
draw in bis favor, for the reaon that inasmuch i
as the -tate t cket of 1&W3 was renominated
last sear, a renomlnatlon could not be refused !
to Gov. Morion.
Hut. as already said, he has refused point
blank, a number of times aad said that he was
u t a cad date, and w.th this clearly e.lab- '
lished Wadsworth. Aldr rtge. Fish, and a,t the
others have gone on their way corralling dele-gates.
