NEW York, Oct. 6th.-The Re-
publican State Committee assem-
bled at 8 O'Clock, with a full at
tendance. Members of the press
are excluded, but it was learned
that the proceedings were harmo-
NOUS. Chairman Platt conducted
the proceedings with impariiaiity.
General Sharpe spoke in favor of
Frank Hiscock, OF Syracuse. as
temporary Chairman of the Con-
vention, and Hiscock was agreed
upon. The selection seemed to
give general satisfaction, and even
those who opposed the nomination
gave in their adherence, and when
the decision was announced, de.
clared they would abide by the re.
suit. Better feeling prevailed
among the stslwarts, and
there is every reason to
hope that the bad feeling
engendered by the failure of the
Conference Committees to agree,
is in good part dissipated and a
disruption of the aracter antici-
pated has been averted. 1t was
past ten O'Clock when the COM
