SYRACUSE, Tuesday Eve, Sept. 6, 1889.
There is an unusually large number of persons here,
both delegates and outsiders, for the night prior
to Convention, including large msj onty Of che
prominent men in the Republican party, and the IL
terest manifested in the proceedings proves the i'm
portsnce attached to the Fall election.
large majority of the delegates, particularly those
from the country districts appear to be entirely uuI
meled by pledges TO candidates. and have evidently
come to Syracuse without having decided to act o,
any particular line Of policy and to be free to ADOPT
he course deemed after sutalion best ilcus!ed
to promote the success of the patty.
There is quite liberal representation Of Americas
here, as outsiders, with the object Of suggesting
names acceptable to that organization if the policy
Of nominating former Americans should be determine
on. The main consultation this evening appears u
turn on this point. Willingness is generally expressed
by al the leading Republicans to place two candidates
with American antecedents on the ticket, but with
the distinct understanding that they c)ne into the
Republican party as Republicans, and act hereafter
with that organization. No Republican is found to
advocat tie nomination Of any American under any
other circumstances.
II is urged, however, that prominent Americans
have declared in favor of nominating a ticket
composed half OF Democrats and half Of
Republicans and that there is therefore certsinty
that the Convention on the 2lst will not divide tho
Republican ticket by adopting that portion taken from
the American ranks, and rejecting the other nominees

Tonight, it appears as if James NJ Cook, tho pres
