Republican Senate conventions were held
last evening In The With District Senator Frederick
s. Gibbs renominaed receiving thirty-three votes
TO nineteen for Lspenard stewart In the Xth District
Assemblylnan Walter Howe was nominated by acclama
tion. In the XIth District stephen N simonsoh was
nominated. each OF the districts the Republican can
didates have "hghing chance" OF being successful.
The friends Of Senator Gibbs are confident tha'
he will win. Walter Howe is an extremely
strong man. and althOgh the district is Democratic, he
will receive the votes of many in the opposition ranks
who admire hi. In the legislature In the Nlth
District Mr. SimOnsOn will probably have as an ol-
ponent Senator ". Plunkt, who has alienated
many Democrats by advocating some bad bills. In
the other four districts there is not much
likelihood Of Republican success unless
the Democrats should carry the bitter
fight on the County ticket into the senatorial canvass
