Mr. Riiter has made reply, and in part is willing to accept the one convention proposition, but wants to decide the question who shall not be a candidate for national committee- man, a prerogative that belongs to the people. On this question Mr. Guthrie, the Democratic chairman, says : ‘ Neither Mr. Ritter nor any one else has any right to dictate who shall or who shall not be a candidate. The delegates assembled in the convention should and must be free to chose who- soever they please. We have insisted on this principle all along and we shall continue to insist on it.” MR RITTER'S TERMS, Mr. Ritter 's terms are that one con- vention be held in the Msjsstic thea. ter at noon, May 7, and that Mr. Rit. ter call it to order, who shall at once turn it over to a temporary chairman to be chosen by Mr, Guthrie from this list of persons : Judge W. Rush Gillan, of Franklin county ; William A. Glas- gow, the Philadelphia lawyer or Charles J. Reilly, of Williamsport, a lawyer. Then, says Mr. Ritter, both be and Chairman Guthrie will present the name to the convention. This chairman chosen shall preside and select other officers of the convention, and that the chairman and secretary along with Mr. Guthrie and Mr. Rit. ter ehall make up the roll of delegates in accordance with the certificates of the county commissioners of the sever- al counties. Thereafter the conven- tion shall be permanently oganized.
