 Hotel. It was erected at the expense of the villagers and is admirably adapted to it's pur- pose. It is gay with streamers and many
 colored bunting. The delegates occupy the main center in 1 the order of districts, the first numbered dis
 trict extending from the platform on the right.hand aide of the main aisle, and the later numbered districts filling the left-hand side of the aisle. Both sides of the hall are filled with spectators from the village and the
 surrounding neighborhood. The proceedings were opened with an im- pressiye prayer by the Rev. Dr. s. F. Latin 1 TOD, of Boston. Referring to the death of President Garfield, of which to day is the second anniversary, he said: 'tOur hearts would remember this morning that other ! morning-two years ago to-day-when we were filled with sadness and sorrow because
 the nation was left to weep and the world to mourn. May the memory of that man who | died two years ago, of all his brave, skillful, aud patriotic service in the field, of all his wisdom, and energy, and fidelity in council, of all the modesty, yet frmness, with which
 he assumed the highest duties aud position
 in the land, and the mystery of thy provi. dencs which called him so soon to leave them all and stand before thee. May all these come up to our minds and hearts to solemnize, to subdue, to fill us with all holy and prtriotic emotion, and to make us more and more faithful to our country."s
 Secretary E. Nj. Johnson called the roll of
 the convention. Notice was given that the contest in the fifteenth assembly dis trict of New York city had been withdrawn in the interest of harmony. The announcement was greeted with applause.
 On motion of George B. Sloan, P. W. Gull Hnan was temporarily substituted for Mir. Sloan in the First Oswego district. MT.

This leaves no contested seats to be referred to the commit tee on credentials. Colonel Dickey, of Orange, nominated for
 temporary chairman United States Senator E. G. Lapham, who was unanimously chosen. He was received with applause and addressed the convention.
 Senator Lapham addressed the convention as follows:
 Samuel H. Wales read the resolutions adopted by the Metropolitan Industrial League in New York. They were referred to the committed. e~ - -z On motion of James W. Husted, the rules of the assembly were adopoted as far as ap- plicable. '@ A. J. Barton Hepburn, of St. Lawrence, read resolution adopted by the New State anti monopoly league at Cooper institute on September 13. referred.
 William Potts, of Kings, desired to offer resolution on civil service reform, but the convention, without hearing it, at 1:30 p. n. took recess to p. m. s.@s.- [s. The convention reassemblsd promptly at o'clock. The committee on organization reported and Hon. Warner Miller was unan- imoasly elected permanent chairman. In his address he followed the platform so closely as to practically paraphrase it. The general opinion was that the platform was really the product of Senator Miller's prepared speech and was in!effect ditated by him. His remarks on protection elected great applause. Every reference to the protective policy of the Re- publican party brought out strong express | ions of approval from the audience. The ! two popular topics in the convention during ! all the proceedings were protection and President Arthur. sseev
 The mention of the late President Gar fields name several times during the earlier stages of the convention met with such slight applause that the orators soon realized that the name had lost much of it's power to in- spire enthusiasm, and it was subsequently comparatively ignored and protection and
 Arthur became the popular cries, which al- ways brought out warm responses. At the conclusion of MT. Mnllen's speech the regular nominations were rapidly made and the fol lowing ticket named: For Secretary of State,
 Joseph B. Carr; Comptroller, Ira A. Daven- port Treasurer, Alina l.. Sexton; State En- N nana Leslie W. Russell.
 The first two nominations were made by exclamation and others, with the exception of that of Sexton. were balloted for and sub- sequently made unanimous. There was spirited contest over Sexton's nomination, warts, while the Half Breeds named and sup ported Ethan Allen. The contest on these nominations was close and exciting from the start, when Albert Daggett, of Brooklyn, arose and cast 45 of the Kings county votes for Allen, and was followed by H. Tremaine,
 throwing 79 of New York oounty's votes the same way, the excitement be-
 ballots placed Allen ahead. The country delegates became alarmed | at the unanimity of the New York and Kings county men suspecting job and broke for Sexton who was elected by 260 to 215 for Allen. MT. Tremaine then moved to make ] the nomination unanimous which was done
 amid cheers. The platform was reported, re- ! ceived with cheers and adopted. The differ ent district delegates then named their selec- l tions for the new State committee. E.
 The platform is occupied largely with
 statement of the Republican party for the
 benefit of the people of the country as a reason for it's continuance in power. It re- joices in the wisdom and success of President Arthur's administration, conmends civil ser vice reform, favors the establishment Of a national bureau for labor statistics, proposes submitting to the people . constitCtional amendment regarding the manufacture and sale of liquor, and arraigns the Democratic majority in the last legislature as false in it's pledges and to the public interest.
 The blanks regarding the tariff and monop- olies are as follows:
 Wefavor system of tariff laws under which while revenue for the government is provided, American producers are justly pro- tected American labor ig elevated and home markets secured to home products for the ad- vantage alike of the producers and laborers, ! the tendsncy to create monopolies requires checking by adequate legislation, unjust dis criminatien in transportation should be pro- | hibited and the violation of chartered privi- leges iustifas the intervention of the State to correet the evils thus engendered.
