first distric,
A motion was made by William B.
Woodin, of Auburn, that in order to have
perfect good feeling both delegations from
the second Albany district be admitted
each member to have half vote

debate, in which it was charged that the
regular delegation represented combina-
ton with the Democrats.
The motion OF the committee was then
unanimously adopted.
The Committee on Permanent Organiza-
ton reported for permanent Chairman
Hon James w. Hustled, and a list of Sec
retaries composed of the names of 'Vroo
man, Chickering, Stearns and Barker, and
also long list of Vice-Presidents.

said that " honest money. an honest ballot,
an honest count, and protection to every
form of American industry will be forever
the cardinal doctrines of the Republican
party. Applause. We stand to-day on
hallowed ground. On yonder mountain,
in sight of that historic battle hill where
the Continental soldiers won the victory
that made the nation, died the great cap
tain, who, by his great proves and skill,
saved for all time what the Continental
soldier had gained Under the shadow of
that grand name we meet here to-day to
renew our fidelity to the principles for
which he fought, and to fight it out our
selves on that line until the leaves fall in
November" [Applause.l
