The success of our Lyceum this winter has

rare grace, showing that she was mistress of
the situation. Miss Laura Edic read the

tonary power was warmly applauded. MIR.
Elbridge Wiley boldly confronted the girls and
rccited "The Modern Belle" with humorous
effect. The President j. Egbert Smith, read

The New York State Republican Convention.
As expected, Senator Conkling and the
many leading Republicans of the Empire
State who sympathize with him in his attl-
tude toward the administration, controlled
the State convention. Mr.. Conkling was
chosen permanent president of the conyen-
ton; but declined the honor in favor OF
the temporary chairman, who was continued
in the chair. Mr.. Conkling was then made
chairman of the committee on resolutions.
and the platform is doubtless largely his work.
1t contains no word Of praise for the Presi-
dent and his Southern poliey-not even
recognition of the worthy motives Of Presi-
dent Hayes or of the necessity which shut
him in to the course he has pursued. In this
respect the platform is weak and unsatlstac-
tory. The convention refused to pass Judg-
ment upon the decision reached by the Execu-
tive regarding the withdrawal Of the troops
in the South, and simply expresses the hope
that "peace, tranquility and justice will re-
suit from the action which followed that
decision. The civil service resolutions con-
tain an emphatic disapproval of the absolute
exclusion Of Federal ofhce-holders from ac-
tive politics. While We concur with much
that is said in the resolutions on this point,
the stump speech on the subject. put into the
platform, seems to US in poor taste, ii open
to no stronger objection. OF the speech In
which Mr.. Conkling supported the platform,
it is said that it contained ''mOre uncalled-
for abuse of his personal and political adver-
saries, more venom, more nonsense, and I'M
gush than the fair-minded Re-
publicans OF New York State will be able to
digest in score of years On the whole,
the New York convention has probably not
contributed much to the harmony of the party.

THE NEW WORK STATE DEMO
CRATIC CONVENTION.
TAMAANY TO THE FRONT.


ALBANY, N. y, Oct. 4-TO-day's pro-
eeedings in the convention are considered
to have made two points elesr-First, that
the anti Tammauy men from New York city
will be allowed no position. whatever, in
the convention; and, second, that those
who favor new state ticket will carry their
point. The Tammany men are outspoken
in declaring that party policy. discipline
and organization forbid further Darleying
with faction. and that there must not
be square issue between the supporters OF
the regular and Of the irregular Organiza-
ton. The known sentiments Of 4 large
ma jOrity of the committee on contested seats
renders 1t certain they will report unquali
fiedly in favor of seating Tammany and
excluding anti-Tammany delegates. Allen
&. Beach still seems to be the iayorite
nominee for secretary Of state. To OleOtt's
denomination Tor comptroller there is no Op
position, and Ross nomination for treas
urer appears to be nearly as well assured
The nominee for attorney general apparent
