TEMPERANCE RESOLUTIONS.
The State Temperance Assembly has sub.
mitted series of resolutions for ineorpora-
ton in the platform. The first recognizes
the value of local non-partisan govern
ment, and recommends the Endorsement
of nominations of that character. The
second requires that such men be nomi-
mated "as reflect good citizenship in its
best sense" The third is as follows:
ResotUed, That as much of the crime ex-
listing in the State is due to lax and ~
cient execution of the c.xc,se laws, we re.
quire iof .ne public interest that they
ss-siI be faithfully enforced, and shall hold
every public officer elected or appointed
by, or under the influence of the party,
to strict responsibility for their enforce.
ment
The fourth recites the evils of intemper-
ance and demands 'a legislative inquiry
OF the most painstaking character, together
with such amendments of the excise laws
as shall be considered most practical to
check intemperance,"
The 9Th is as follows:
RESOLVED, That the Republican party
pledges its faith to submit to the people
by legislative vote the question of prohibi-

will hold every citizen who accepts the
nomination or support of the party as
pledging himself, if elected, to vote for the
submission of the same.

The latest phase Of the Republican
situation seems to be that the New York
delegates have been unable, in spite Of
repeated efforts, to agree upon a candi-
date from New York or Kings county. 1t
is said that Mr.. Evarts, with the Union
League influence at his back, has been
working hard for Bliss, but that it is of no
avail. The Committee on Resolutions
will not complete the work before it until
tomorrow morning.
THE ANTI-iioNoPoLIsTs.
A long communication has been sub
mitted to the Committee on Resolutions
! of which the following is the pertinent
| portion: 'The Conference and Executive
Committee of the national Anti-Monopoly
party, the outSrowth of a convention of
representatives from the Anti-Monopoly
league, Greenback-Labor party, peoples
party, farmers, mechanics and inde-
| pendent citizens associations, and
members of the Canal Union respect
fully ask your respective bodies to make
such nominations as will relieve our inde-
pendent organizations from the necessity
| of separate action. All that we ask in
these times of struggles for government
patronage and privileges is that men OF
| approved ability and integrity shall be &C.
lected for popular suffrage.
Del gales 10 the New York Democratic
Convention Arriving al Saratoga.
SARATOGA, IN. L :, september zz.-Many
delegates to the Democratic Stats conven-
ton are now arriving, and there is pre-
good representation of both t.na nol;tical
| parties around the aotels Tonight. As
yet all that 1an be said of the Democratic
situation as eSpounded by the new ar.
rivals, is that Hill is evidently the leading
favorite for Governor, with Cooper follow.
ing him closely. Hills managers claim
700 votes, but this is considered an absurd
claim by the leaders of the other factions
| One well-infortaea Gentleman, who is here
in the interest OF Cooper, comedies Hill l5i
on the first ballet, with Cooper 1S5 anC
Flower about 20. This leaves Hill opl,
| thiTty-eigh short of the 1913 votes re
quired to make a nomination. The Hill
men, however, are go confident of victory
that they have already made up slate
with Senator Jacobs for Lieutenant-G Gov
ernor, Maxwell as Comptroller and Fitz
| gerald as State Treasurer. 1t is believed
that Cooper's friends will not carry thei,
opposition to Hill far enough to afforc
any danger of split in the patty if Hi
develops great strength.
