NEW YORK, Sept. 23-The Republican State
Convention met here to-day. Hon. e. ID. Nor
gan presided Few office holders are present
The following ticket was re-nomnated by accla-
nation: Governor, John 4. Dix; Lieutenant
Governor, Gen. John q. Robinson; Canal Com
missioner, Alex. Barley; State Prison Inspec-
tor, Thomas Kirkpatrick; Judge of Court of
Appeals, Alex. S. johnson.
Judge Pierrepont, from the committee on re-
solutions, submitted the following:
First, That the Republicans of New York
reaffirm the principles SO often approved by the
people, and point to the past achievements of
their party as pledge that it is equal to every
new requirement.
Second, That we demand obedience to the
laws and the full protection of every citizen in
the enjoyment of his rights against the assaults
of ku-klux assassins and white league revolu-
tOnsts, who are encouraged by every Demo-
cratic success, this protection to be given by the
states if they can and will, but if the states fail
by the general government, in strict conformity
with the constitution and laws.
Third, That an armed attempt to subvert the
recognized government of a state is revolution,
and revolution must be suppressed and the su-
premacy of the law maintained at every cost.
Fourth, That the public faith must be pre-
served inviolate and the public debt be paid in
coin.
Fifth, That we oppose any initiation of the
paper currency and endorse the President S
veto of the initiation act, andlw 1--WE are in favor of
u IebuTu W opcCto pay ucuuo VI dCtOu gu
the part of the government as will speedily Sc
cure that result.
Sixth, That taxation, whether national or
state, whether direct or indirect, should be kept
atthe lowest practicable point permitted by an
economical administration and the require
ments of the public credit, and should be so adj
justed as to be the least burdensome to all
classes.
Seventh, That the administration of Presi-
dent Grant has been true to it's pledges and
distinguished by achievements in domestic and
foreign policy unsurpassed in the history of the
country.
Eighth, That the administration of Gov. Dix
in its purity, dignity and wisdom, has fulfilled
the highest expectations of the people, and we
point especially to the management of the state
the past ten years.
Speeches were made by Senator Conkling, ex-
Gov. Morgan, Gen. Woodford and others.
Isaac HI. Bailey of the State Committee, read
an address to the people, which was adopted.
The convention throughout was harmonious and
enthusiastic.

Trade has been busy the past week, and the mar
kets show decided improvement. The volume of
business has, despite the Storm been fair and pur-
chasers are making their appearance in large num-

owing to the Louisiana troubles. Gold closed on
Wednesday,, Sept. 49, at 1904.
Apples show no change. Beans are quiet. Butter
is higher, the best grades commanding 32937c, and
store 25930c. Cheese is quiet, with an upward
look Coal is quickening little. Coffee is quiet.
Cooperage is dull. Copper is active. Cordage is act
i've. Drugs and dyes are more active. and show an
improvement. Dry goods exhibit better feeling,
and sales are good. Duck is in good demand for
Portland manufactures Fish are unchanged this
week. The catch has been good, but has not re-
duced the prices yet Flour is firm and there is
no perceptible movement. The freights have been
advanced a little, which will advance the prices a
few cents per Dbl. Fruit is plenty, and prices are
depressed. The best crates Of peaches be bought
for 50 so, Raisins are lower, layers being quoted
at So 1908 So Grain is rather unsteady. The deal
ers in Chicago and New York are trying to run
corner" but have not succeeded as yet, although
the prices have been advanced. Mixed is quoted
at 81 VI, yellow at 81 OS, meal at 81 O5 and oats at
6s970c. Hay exhibits no change The new crop
was good, but has not been put into the market to
any extent. Iron remains firm but prices are ruling
rather low. Lard is rather unsteady and sudden
advance in prices expected. During the past
it has advanced once twice a few cents, but has
got back, and prices are now quoted as they were
last week. kegs and tierces 15a9l6 and pals 179ac
Leather shows change. The trade is active
Lumber is little more active; as fall building is
in order, slight advance in prices is the result
Molasses is very active, and the supply is hardly
equal to the demand. We have no change to note in
prices. In naval stores we notice that turpentine
has fallen a few cents and is quoted at 4O945c.
Paints unchanged Plaster is firm at former
prices. Produce is advancing in prices. Eggs are
23925c, and potatoes 6O965c. There is slight 'cor-
ner" in potatoes just now. The farmers are holding
them back to advance the prices, but the crop
good the prices will of be reduced soon On
ions are lower, and quoted at So 259, so per
crate. Rice is lower and is quoted at 7a99c Salt is
unchanged, the trade being very active Spices are
unchanged, with the exception of cassia which is
quoted at 4N945c. Sugars a little frmer and
granulated is quoted at 11s, coffee H. extra lO2c
@l05, CC95 and extra 1Oc. The market for tin is
rather depressed just at present. The best grades of
tobacco little higher, while the trade is very
active. yarnish is steady with change in prices.

The Potter Railroad Inv.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. % lin the Supreme
Court at Madison yesterday, motion was ar
gued for an injunction to compel the Prairie
du Chen division of the Milwaukee & st. Paul
Railroad to obey the Potter law. This divis-
ion was excluded from the recent injunction,
for the reason that it had an old territorial
charter which was not subject to the provisions
in the state constitution, receiving the right to
alter or repeal general act passed by the ter
ritorisl legislature in 1889, but it has since
been:dscovered to contain exactly the same
provisions that were afterward incorporated IN
the state constitution. The court reserved its
desition until the 29th inst, but no doubt lis ex
pressed that an injunction will be issued.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23,-The Comptroller of
the Currency, having ascertained that certain
national banks were in the habit OF drawing
drafts on their correspondents in New York, at
60 and 80 days date, acceptance waived, has
advised these institutions that such issues are
in violation of the national bank act, aud will
subject the bank to forfeiture of its charter.
The Comptroller will commence proceedings, if
necessary, to prevent such practices. Other
national banks are in the habit of furnishing
depositors with checks drawn one day afte'
date, instead of on demand, to evade the law
requiring two cent stamp.
