All the proceedings were marked by entire har-
mony Not word was uttered that provoked a
sharp reply and nearly all the speeches agreed in
favOring full representation of the party m the
State Convention and free discussion of the qucs-
tions of the day. Many Republican, hitherto
have held that convention Of dele
gate from each Assembly District would
serve every desired purpose this year but nndmg
that the sentiment of the great majority of tho
party was for gathering that should REPRESENT the
Republicans of every district fully and .1 fresh
from the people, they have yielded rradi'r aud
without murmur Some Of the speak RI, -o-day
said that they had come to Saratoga Wit. the be-
lief that a small convention would b. ferrcd
but had become convinced while here 10. ... party
would be better satisfied with a full con . iOn.
The conference was in session only two hnUr- but
every one who desired an opportunity 10 so.sy had
it, aud the freest uttcrance Of he views IT hose
present was called for. The spcccho, very
brief and touched on little else than the .Onvcuuon
question and the Importance Of earnest, rj"orOuS
harmonious work. to carry the As,embr and elect
as many Republican Congressman as pos"r... Al
present seemed to be in u hopeful mood, a1a none
doubted that if the members of the n1r, o.. all
shades of opinion would labor heartily 90. d'i.-
gently together Republican success tHl~ sea, ''ud
be assured. Mr. COnkling's letter was Itcely.. n
many demonstrations of approval
Most of the Republicans present at the .nnter-
cnce went home this afternoon or evening, Pre- 4.
B. Cornell. General Arthur Warner h,ler a.j
number of Others will remain day or so IN on
versation after the conference prominent Re- ah
cans expressed much satisfaction with th harmony
and unity apparent in every utterancc. and ia The
whole spirit of the meeting, and ro gard tins AS
most encouraging indication Of success IN the As
semby and Congressional districts.
There has been very little talk here to-
day concerning the nomination by the con-
vention for Court of Appeals Judge. Mr. James's
letter urging the nomination Of Judge Daniels
caused some comment. He Is not without friends.
Mr. Parsons, of New-York, also has supporters and
Mr. Danforth is prominently mentioned but it is
asserted that he would not accept the nOminatiOnt
it were rendered. There is little discussion about
the place for the convention In of the speeches
of the conference Saratoga was suggested as the
place and September %, the day Of the Democratic
Convention at syracuse as the date; bu; many peO-
pie here appear 10 prefer earlier date. Republic
can sentiment does not seem, however, yet To have
settled upon any candidate, place OF date.
