New York Republicans.

ROCHESTER. n. Y, Sept. 26.-The doors Of
the hall 10 which the republican convention
meets were opened little before IL O'Clock
and the hall was soon comfortably filled with
delegates and spectators. Senator Conkline
took seat Immediately fronting the platform.
The convention vas called to order at II o'clock.
Mr.. T. G. Plat was chosen temporary chair
man. =, Mr.. Plat returned thanks for the honor
conferred upon him, and said the solid, earnest,
and true republicans Of the State spurned the
thought that the mission of the republican par.
ty was ended. He urged the maintenance oil
party lines and criticised, sarcasticaily, the men
who, 10 the past, claiming to be republicans,
were not true to the party standards. An aslu
ted hearty round Of applause, which was re.
newed when the speaker referred to him as one
who had been always true to bis friends, bis
party and bis country. A reference to certain
advocates Of civil service reform elioted slight
applause and some Kisses. The speaker said
the party was pledged to civil service reform,
but differed with the impraoticable ss to the
methods of securing it. 1t was not in ia.
vor of any method of civil service reform
that 10 the best judgment Of the wisest
men is impracticable or which invades the
civil and political rights Of any citizen.

from New York coming up Mr.. Conkling de.
sired to be understood that be had not objected
to the difference of the conflicting claims and
the fair consideration BY the committee on
credentials. His objection was only to the as
sumption that parties contesting from outside
of the republican organization should be per.

inside the republican ranks. Mr., Msrtindale
congratulated the convention that Senator Conk.
ling had been converted to the views of himself
(Mr. Martindale) aud friends who voted with
him. Mr. Conkling inquired if Mr. Martindale
really understood him to make the objection he
had repudisted. Great cheers. The gentle.
man from Monroe (Martindale) did not win the
houors he wears by disappearing any one
else. Renewed cheers.
Mr.. Martiudale rose and was greeted with
furious Kissing and great disorder. He main.
tanned bis place, however, until order was re-
stored, when he explained he had not under

amendment offered by Mr.. Tremaine.
