ALBANY COUNTY REPUBLICAN.

ALBANY Oct. 1.-The Republicans Of Albany
County will probably contriDute between 1.5O0 and
$500 votes 20 the majorties Of other counties for
the Republican State ticket This feat il is believed
by we-informcd politicians Of both parties will be
accomplished although the Democratic majority IN
the county is usually 5000. The confidence Of
the Republicans that they Will carry such Dem
Ocratic county was shown In a striking way on Sat
urday at the Republican County Convention. when
there a very animated squabble between the
friends of several prominent Republicans to get
them on the ticket
Az ACrIvE REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.
The coming viii be due to sever al causes
To the thorough union Of RsDublicans Of all fac
tions. to extraordinary division among the Dem
ocrats 20 Mr. Kcllys bolt and to the fact that
one Of the Republican candidates for state Office
is resident of the county. The Repub
hcans have already begun their canvass IN
a very energetic manner. They have put campaign
documents in the hands Of every Republican farmer
and doubtful voter outside of the city, In this city
they have hired a store of the principal thor
ougnfares. and use it as tine distributing point for
documents and also the headquarters of the chief
Republican Club. The visitor TO the city sees
painted upon the windows of this store IN large red
letters the OF all the Republican candidates for
state and county officers. Upon the sidewalk there
IS a sign-board with the inscription in large letters
Republican documents free r The dOors Of the store
Hospitality open. Entering. one sees that il was
formerly grocery store and the alcoves once filled
with spices and pepper are now hidden behind
placards announcing a speech by the Hon. Zach"
Chandler, of Michigan, at Martin Hall tonight.
AT the back end of the store there Is counter cOv
cred with Republican documents; TRIBUNE EXTRAS.
The AlJGRy ErcEing Journal Ezra, and the speeches
IN pamphlet form of Roscoe Conklng. James G.
Blaine, Zachariah Chandler. John sherman and
James A Garfield. These documents are
freely gwen 10 any person who may apply
for them. The clerk IN charge OF this singular
dlspensary said to-day that average of 5000
documents We're given away daily Suspended
above the street IN front of the store hangs large
banner inscribed with the words Cornell and
Wendell Campaign Club" and also the names of
the Republican State candidates. Nathan y. Wen
dell. the Republican candidate for State treasurer.
Is a weli-known resident of TINS CITY. For many
years he has held the responsible position of cashier
Of one Of the chief banks of Albany. and in that
place has won the regard and high esteem Of hun
dreds OF BIS feliow-citizens. His candidacy Will
bring many more votes to the support of Air. Cor
nell and the rest Of the State candidates than they
would otherwise have Obtai ned. Mr.. Wendell has
twice been Treasurer Of Albany County. The first
time be was elected by 1900 majority, and on the
second occasion--so greatly had his popularity in
/ creas sed-by 300 majority. The feeling toward
HIM is so favorable now among the several Repub-
hcan factions of the county that lie viii un-
1oubtelly carry the county by even larger major
ity than be had when he merely ran for County
Treasurer IL may be sald also. that although this
Is the home Of Controller Olcott, the Democratic
candida for Controller. that James W Wads-
wolth, the Republican candidate. Will get ma
ioriry well Up wth the remainder Of the ticket. Mr..
Wadsw0rth's two years service in the Legislature
here gained him many friends, and they VIII make
strong effort to keep the vote for Mr. Olcott-who
IS personally popular IN the city and moreover. has
the advantage Of a powerful family convention Of
Republicans to labor for him-trom reaching dan
gerous proportions.
The county ticket having been nominated, the
canvass N behalf OF the state ticket viii now be-
come brsker and will be maintained till election
day. This statement is true of all other counties in
the State. Information received here shows that
the local leaders Of the Republican party have been
