An EnthusIassic Gathering of rhe State League at SaratOga-BrillIant Prospects fer the Success of the Ma tiOnal Ticket.
 SARATOGA, July 1.-The Casino, where the State Republican leaugue meets, is finely decorated with campaign banners. A DOT trait of General Grant hangs over the presi- dents chair, tianked on either side by por- traits of Harrison and Morton. At 12:40 p. m. President R. H. Hefford of Buffalo called the league to order and introduced the Rev. William R. Tarrett, who made prayer. The secretary called the roll of clubs represented and delegates responded from majority of the counties When the Warner Miller club of Herkimer county was called, three cheers were given for Mir. Miller The Hiscock club from Salina and 8 Merton club and Harrison and Morton club were also cheered. James P. Foster, president of the National Repub- lican league. was invited to the platform, and made few remarks regarding the Chi cago convention. When he spoke of L. P. Morton's nomination, three cheers were given. At the close of Mr. Fosters remarks, President Hefford addressed the audience.
 At the conclusion of Mir. Hefford's address Assemblyman Busted addressed the conven- tion, receiving prolonged ovation. He pre- sented the resolution of the State committee commenting the work of the league. A committee of fifteen was appointed on cre- dentials and roll. Secretary Lehmaier then made his report and congratulated the con- vention on the work of the league in estab- fishing clubs throughout the State. There are now in the State $50 clubs, 460 of which have been established since the formation of the league. This number represents between 75, 600 and 80, GOO voters. One hundred and eighty-four clubs distributed through fifty counties have perfected their membership with the league. The policy of an annual due from each club and the production of proof of the identity of the organizations has tended to retard the growth of the league, but the growth has been healthy and enthusiastic. The continuance of this policy may we'll be made subject for con- sideration at this convention. The objects were fully explained in the report and were received with applause. Every Republican voter in the State should be enrolled in an organization and that organization should become a member of this league, said Mir. Lehmaier in closing. A resolution was adopted thanking the State committee for it's action in regard to the league and the com mittees on credentials and rolls were made. A motion to take a recess until 4:30 was car ried.
 After recess the convention heard the re- port of the committee on credentials, adopt- ed resolutions endorsing the Republican can- didstes for president and vice president and appealing to citizens to support them, re- elected MT. Hefford as president and MT. Lehmaier as secretary, chose delegates to the National league convention and adjourned till 8. m. tomorrow.
