According to the report OF five doctors who attended

THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CONTENTION

THE REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE CONVENTION
There is TO be a grand Republican rally
at Saratoga this week The Ncw-lor State
Republican League holds convention there
beginning to- morrow, and the convention IS to
be supplemented by ratification meeting
The interest and importance of this Repub-
ican gathering are attcstcd by the fact that
delegations representing 500 clubs and every
portion Of the State are expected to be present,
and that such wcll-known party leaders as
Senators Evarts and lIiscock. Warner Miller
Senator Frye, of Maine and Congressman Ton,
of West Virginia, Will address their brethren.
The convention cannot fail to have bene-
fetal effect upon the Presidential and state
canvass. New-Yorll was carried for Cleveland
four years ago by few hundred votes. II the
Republicans had been thoroughly organized in
every school district, and If the entire vote
had been polled, tho result would have been
different. Mr. Blaine would have carried New
York by a handsome majority. Now, the Re
publicans who are to como together tomorrow
are aware of this fact, and can confidently be
expected to act accordingly. That is to say,
they will devise ways and means for perfect
ing Republican organization at all points. The
serves, as it is receiving, the heartiest en-
couragement Of all who have Republican sue
cess at heart The more clubs the more votes
for Harrison and Morton.
The Republican League meets in circum-
stances well calculated to inspire every mem-
Der Of it TO do his best. The Chicago ticket
is strong and popular, and it rests upon
strong and popular platform Our candidates
appeal to the people as the opponents OF The
great cause Of protection for American indus
tries. The Republicans of this State were
never more at one never in better condition
for fight. All signs point to the nomination
Of n state ticket which viii meet the best OK
pectations. commanding the full party vote,
and thus proving Of great assistance 10 the
National canvass II would be strange IN
deed in view of those considerations, if The
Republican League did not meet at Saratoga
animated by the good hope of November
victory.

THAT AFFIDATTT or KEENAN,.

Mr. John Keenan,. exile, Of the Montreal
colony, has been making an affidavit TO be used
in his suit against Contractor Clark. This
document, which will be found on another
page, is marked by that passionate devotion
| to he-WhOle-truth-a nothing but
the-truth which is naturally to be looked for
in Keenan,. For, as we all know, rallying
around an exalted ethical standard comes easy
to the members Of the colony. Mr.. kcenan's
aptitude in the field Of applied Doodle has long
been recognized; and now he demonstrates his
genius as an aflidayit-maker.
1t appears from this artless deposition that
what took Keenan, to Montreal was his health.
Too much good and faithful service to the
public undermined his constitution and in
looking about in the winter of 1886 for a
sanitarium with a soft Southern exposure, il Of
course occurred to him TO Try the bamy airs
of-Canada. Some thoughtlesS inyalids be-
take themselves TO Jacksonville or the Ber-
mudas. keenan, chooses Montreal. For his
health. He has that sort Of a constitution.
Who said he had skipped to Canada because
he had received compound fracture of his
moral spine, and realized that his fellow-citi-
zens would insist upon his going to Sing Sing
for treatment? Evidently there is a mistake
somewhere.
But if Keenan's sworn statement Of what
took him over the American border is i'm
pessivc reading equally so is his other sworn
statement OF what has detained him in Mon
treal since the spring of 1886. lie mentions
two reasons for his prolonged absence. Ono
relates to the Senate Investigating Committee
and the other t. his Canadian business en-
gagcments. lie states in effect that he de-
clned to Ietur,. 20 NeW-York while the com
mittec was in session. fearing he would be
tempted by the highly improper questions
which they would be sure TO ask TO commit
contempt # court. That is why he did not

4 QUESTION RE4DILY ANSWERED.

A correspondent OF "Thc Syracuse COurier'
bces leave to inquire Of the Republicans " Has
the State census and redstricting Of the State
been made as required by the Constitution ~
The answer to this question is that the State
census has not been taken, neither las the
State been redistncted. Why not? Because
Governor Hill vetoed the bill that provided for
tho census: because Governor Hill vetoed the
bill providing for redistricting. That is why.
The Republican Legislature, in obedience TO
the mandate of the Constitution, passed a bill
making provision for taking a census. The
Governor. in fragrant disregard Of the organic
law of tho State, deliberately killed
it on partisan grounds. lie killed it
because he was afraid that under it
the Republicans would enjoy too much pat
ronasen The bill being CONSTITUTIONAL the
Governors conduct in interposng his veto was
practically usurpatOn.
So it was with the other bill. The people
at the baIlot-b0X had voted that n convention
should be held to revise the Constitution. The
Republican Legislature, as in the other case,
passed the necessary measure. And as in the
other case the Governor vetoed the BILL No
body pretended that the bill did not comply
with the Constitution lie vetoed it on pO-
ltical grounds, vetoed it because he believed
that the Democratic party would not be strong
~ enough represented in the convention.
The writer in "1he Courier utterly ignores
the part which The Governor played. lie talks
Of n Republican Legislature being guilty of
usurra.ion. The fact is a reference TO tho
journal Of the Legislature demonstrates thu:
the Republicans provided for both census
and convention. True. they did net pass CEN
sus and convention bills by and with the adj
vice and consent of the Governor. But then
there is nothing in the Constitution requiring
them to do so.
