R1oHF1ELD SPRINGS, n. Y, Sept. 49,
The weather is beautiful. There was a
large morning influx of delegates. Visit
tors filled the hotels to OVERLOOKING and
gave the village lively appearance. Cau-
cusing with reference to the new state
committee has been very active
during the morning, and most
congressional delegations have held pre-
liminsry meetings. The Albany delega-
ton elected E. s. Draper member of the
state committee, John L. Smith and five
of his friends in the delegation to attend
the meeting. The Goth congressional dis
trict elected Senator Holmes, of Madison
state committee, member by one majority
over Thomas G. Platte, of Tioga. Carroll
Smith, of Syracuse, was elected committee
man for the twenty-ffth district. The
names of Senator A. NJ. Holmes and James
Smart are both mentioned in connection
with the craftsmanship. The
state committees place of meet
ing is temporary frame structure in
wigwam in the spacious and pretty
grounds of the spring hotel. 1t WAS erect
ed at the cost of the villagers. The con-
vention was called to order at 1905. E.
G. Lapham was unanimously chosen tenn
porary chairman. Upon taking the chair
Mr.. Lapham said, "We have met at mo-
ment of great interest in the history of
Republicans, and if we are faithful to our
trust we shall organize victory here to-day.
Politically last year was our Bull Run, and
if we are faithful this year will prove our
Gettysburg and 'Appomatox' applause].
What Charles S. Benton once characterized
as 'tumultuary Democracy of the Missis-
sippl valley is now the seat of our Re-
Publican stronghold, and the tumultuary
Democracy is in the State of New York.
How could it be otherwise with the distinct
and rival bodies in our commercial
great city, each refusing to surrender its
organization, and each determined to send
full delegation to the convention at Buff
falo. Tho result is that the idol of a year
age has been cast down, and is almost lit
orally trodden I'm der foot in it's own home"
He dwelled at some length upon national
affairs, and closed by stating that by wise
and harmonious action the success OF the
Republican party would be complete.
Committees were then appointed, and
recess taken till D. m.
After the recess and report OF committees, the
