THE NEW YORK REPUBLICANS

Put Up A Winning State Ticket Headed By Davenport And Carr. SARATOGA, N. Y., Sept. 23.-It was 10:30 o'clock when the Republican State conven- tion was called to order today. It was ru-
 mored early in the day that Cornell had agreed to throw his strength for Davenport,
 and subsequent developments proved the ru-
 nor correct. When the convention came to
 order David Healy of Monroe, representa-
 tive of the labor interests, gave an address.
 He urged this convention to initiate just &C.,
 tion for the amelioration of the toilers and
 warned it that mere promises were useless
 The chairman of the committee on resolu-
 tiens stated that the workingmen on reading
 the platform would find it satisfactory. The
 platform was then read. It declares in favor
 of extending the civil service laws to all
 grades of the public service, State and na-
 tional, with preference in appointments to
 honorably discharged soldiers and sailors;
 demands of Congress the maintenance of the
 gold standard and the passage of an act to
 put an end to increase of forms Of money
 based on silver; reaffirms the demands of the
 last national Republican convention for the
 continuance of protective tariff; insists
 that "the right of suffrage must be main
 tained free and untrammeled and if that part of the people of any State it's representation in Congress and the electoral college should be reduced;" de- mands strict enforcement by the national government of the law prohibiting the im- portation of contract labor. The platform contains several blanks relating to the ad- ministration of State affairs and asserts that it is the duty of the Republican majority of the Senate to oppose the confirmation of any person appointed in violation of the letter or spirit of the civil service acts. The nation al administration is denounced for it's obvi- ous willingness to abandon the opinions they have professed upon currency and to com promise with those leaders of their party who are avowedly in favor of the continued debasement of the currency; for it's hostility to the commerce of the country evinced by by Congress for the encouragement of American shipping; for it's arbi- trary action in repudiating g. con- tract regularly entered into by the duly au- thorized agents of the government and per severing in an attempt to deprive American mechanics of their means of livelihood until an aroused public opinion compelled it to abandon the attempt and for it's hostility further evinced by the arbitrary enforcement of the customs laws by illegal provisions and tricks intended to deprive merchants of any fair opportunity for asserting their rights.
 When the clause relsting to the preference Of tC hA Corporal Tanner, of Brooklyn, inquired if that meant that if the soldier passed an ex- animation that proved his competency he should be appointed even if the college grad uates of yesterday should pass at higher figure. 'sIt does, :" quickly rejoined Colonel and the dude stands one hundred the soldier gets the place." (Great applause.) The roll was then called for the first ballot and resulted: Davenport 214, Carr 194, War ren 120, Bliss 66, Seward 54, scattering 52. On the second ballot changes began to be ral Carr & motion was made to make the nomination of Davenport unanimous, which was done amid great applause. After MT. Mccarthy of Onondaga county had been nominated for lieutenant governor Mr. Kis- selberg, who had represented Carr's friends in the contest for the gubernatorial nomina- tion, said that though General Carr had de- clared himself not 8 candidate for the second place, he was too good soldier to dis obey the dictation of his superiors and too good a Republican to refuse to work for the party in whatever position it should place him. He therefore seconded the many nominations for Carr as lieutenant governor which he had heard. Renewed shouts for Carr.) General Sharp moved to make the nomination unanimous. Carr was thereupon nominated by exclamation amid great applause. This was followed by the nomination of Anson s. Wood of Franklyn county for Secretary of State and James w. Wadsworth of Livingston county for Comp troller, both by exclamation. The ticket was completed by nominating Edward B. Thomas for Attorney General, Major Charles Ulyrich of New York for State Treasurer Charles Hauselt of New York declining), and William Van Rensslaer for State Engi- neer.
