NRw YoRK, Oct. 1.-The meeting OF the
Republican State Committee at the Gilsey
House for organization brought out large
gathering OF party leaders fromall parts o.
the State. Compared with the meeting ol
the Democratic Committee on yesterday
the Republicans had exceedingly plain
sailing. They met promptly and organized
without delay. and in manner that was
calculated to inspire even the most
apathetic members Of their party had
there been any. fortunately there were
not. There was good deal OF Republi'
canism present, too. Ex-ColIGCtor W. H.
Robertson, who broke the back of-tha
Conkling delegation at Chicago in 1850,
was among the throng in the lobby
during the morning, and with him
were Thomas l.. Murphy, whom
Grant had appointed TO the same
office years before; James W. Husted,

and Jolly face of Sherman S. Rodgers, who
would have passed for S,alwart Of the
stalwart long before anybody could have
surmised that he was a leader in the civil
service reform movement Of his day.
There were present also plenty OF the
workers. Johnny 0'Brien, Captain Mich

mingling in the down-stalrs lobby.

meet the committeeman and the officers
OF the convention, and 90 through the
formality OF being notified OF their respec-
tive nominations.
Ex-Congressman Davenport whose light
sandy hair aud sun-burned features gave

Wood, the farmer candidate for Secretary
Of State; ex-Congressman Wadsworth,
candidate for Comptroller, were all present
and apparently in excelIent spirits.
THE MEETING.
At12 o'clock Secretary Vrooman called
the committee together. Cheeter S. Cole,
who was probably Mr.. Blaine's choice for
the Craftsmanship last year, was unani-
mously chosen as Mr.. Warren's successor.
Mr.. Vrooman and Mr.. Chickering were re-
elected Secretaries. Then, to illustrate
Mr.. Davenport's desire for a meeting OF
the factions, Charles W. sackett, Utica
Stalwart, wss chosen Chairman Of the Ex-
tcltiye Committee. After that the candi-
dates were presented and notified Of their
nomination, which they declared their
willingness to accept.
The remainder Of the afternoon was
then passed by the candidates in receiv-
ing their friends. The drift OF sentiment
that found expression among the Repub,
licanS here to-day was all in the same
direction. They confidently expect the
election Of the Republican ticket by a
handsome majority. There was no boast:
ing 10 this expression, for it was generally
accompanied by talk indicative Of the re.
alizltion that Governor Hills canvass Is
to be one OF demsgogism and that the
contest will be one in which no effort can
be relaxed with safety. The keynote
among all members OF the party was
sounded in the necessity for every man to
do his duty. That done, no one had q
doubt or the shadow Of doubt Of the
result. s
Mr.. Davenport said: "The contest will
be very exciting one, and our opponents
will exert every effort to elect their ticket,
but have full confidence that our ticket
will gain strength every day, and unless
something that can not be foreseen at this
time shall occur the Republican ticket
will certainly be elected"
Senator Warner Miller said; G
~ have been in Chautauqua county
and at Buffalo since the Republican con-
vention was held. There, and in my own
section OF the State, there Is only one ex.
preston. It is that OF universal satisfac.
ton with the ticket and the work OF the
Convention. The question az to q large
convention l deemed settled in the affirm.

lican party has demonstrated itself to be
greater than the wisdom OF any small
number Of politicians"

danger arises, as the compromises that are
to be entered upon between the Northern

be in the hands Of the compromising ele-
