Nomination OF a state Ticket by the
Committee,

NEW YORK, August 24-At an early hour this
morning groups OF republican politicians were
discussing the situation in the state committee
room. Among the first on hand were Senator
W. II. Robertson and Gen. Arthur. When
asked as to the probable action of the state
committee Senator Robertson said: I'VE have
been called together to decide about holding a
state convention. l am opposed to it, as deem
II unnecessary, but the committee may decide
OtherWlSe. we also meet to discuss the situa-
tion in this state and compare notes. Shortly
before noon tie republican state committee
went into session In the geltlemen'S parlor at
the Fifth Avenue hotel The meeting Was
called to order by Gen. Chester A. Arthur.

tion ef Michael w. Barnes IL the 5th district
At 1890 o'clock a recess OF 10 minutes was taken
to enable the committee 10 prepare a resolution
In relation to holding convention. The men,
bers OF the committee, with the exception OF
three CT four. are strongly opposed to holding
convention. A candidate for chief justice will
probably be nominated at once.
AL the members OF the committee are present
except two. The committee unanimously de-
cided not to hold convention, and resolution
explaining the action OF The committee was
adopted, and will be presented TO the people
through the press.
Chief Justice Foiger was renorninated by the
unanimous adoption OF the Following resolu-
ticn:
Whereas, the general sense Of the republican
parry is opposed to q state convention for the
reason, among others that the time occupied in
the selection OF delegates to e state convention
would disturb and retard the work OF the cam
paign already ausplciously begun, and that the
character of Chtef Justice FOlger dictates his
nomination for the high place he now occupies
and no other name would be SO accept
able to the republican party. Therefore
Resolred, In compliance with the sentiment
of the republican party, the state committee
places In nomination for chief justice or the
court OF appeals G. j. Folger. OF Ontario.
The committee adjourned to call OF the chair.
