aDle Cho1ce Of the State Committee.
 The Democratic Executive Committee.
 NEW YORK, July 10.-The Republican State committee will meet at the Fifth Avenue hotel to-day for the purpose of call ing state convention which will nominate candidates for governor and lieutenant gov ernor. There were very few members of the committee in town last night Chairman John N. Knapp, of Auburn, arrived i'll the afternoon and Committeeman John A. Quackenbush, of Troy, shortly afterwards. 1t was the opinion of these gentlemen, as it was that of the New York politicians present, that the convention would be held at Syra- cuse between Aug 15 and 70.

Warner Miller is said to be almost sure of the nomination for governor The second place on the ticket will come to New York, the politicians say, and a lively con test IS expected between statesmen ambitious to swing the gavel now controlled by Jones, of Binghamton.
 The latest candidate for the honor is Col E. A. McAlpin, of the Twenty second regi- ment Robert Ray Hamilton's name is also mentioned. So is Senator J. Sloat Fassetts, but the latter, in accepting the place of national committeeman, waived all right or claim to a state nomination this fall Chairman John N. Knapp said to Q re- porter: "The desire of the party is to have an early convention in order to have a long campaign, that the issues that are to be pre- sented to the people may be thorouphly un- derstoodn

Governor Ames Has Bronchitis.

BOSTON, July 10.-Dr. Knight, who is at tending Governor Ames, says: "The story that the governor has valvular disease of the heart is all wrong. He has not the slightest disease of the heart of any descrip- tion, but he has had the bronchitis so badly that he has become very much reduced and weakened. All the organs have become weak, the heart with the others. Last Saturday the heart was so weak that for while it could perform its functions only with diff. culty but it is stronger now. The governor is still a sick man, but is improving"
