New York Republicans.

SARATOGA, N. Y. September 25.-Ex-
Senator Warner Miller arrived here last
last night and has spent the morning in
consultation with friends. At II o'clock to-
day Chairman Knapp called the republican
state convention to order.
Chauncy NJ. Depew was chosen temper
airy chairman and as he went towards the
speaker chair was greeted with great favor.
After several times three cheers had been
given he briefly addressed the convention.
quiet and hush attested the interest OF
the convention in his reference to the
growth Of the South American states, al
most unnoted by the United States but
fostered by England. But when Mr..
Blaine's control of the nations foreign af-
fairs and attention TO South Ameri-
can commerce was referred to
the applause was again awakened.
When Mr.. Depew referred to the rumors of
republican discussions in this state and
then shouted 1.-THE republican party of the
state is all here" the delegates nodded to
each other in approval and craned their
necks to see how ex-senator Miller and
Senator Hiscock received the utterance.
Both these gentlemen were immobile of
feature, however.
Reference to control Of the liquor traffic
was warmly received.
Delegate Cronin, of New York, moved a
resolution of sympathy with the Irish pa
triots and the cause Of home rule, which
was adopted.
The usual committees were then ap-
pointed and recess taken till $3.50.

chapel road, and as went a great longing came
into my heart that l could take some of the
leading men of our land down into the midst
OF that scene. Oh! the misery. degradation and
sin that were there, all springing from the feet
OF this awful drink traffic, which faunts its
brazen head in undisguised iniquity ON all
sides, house after house wing with each other in
leading men and women into deeper sim How
they make downfall easier and more certain,
Not contented with the ordinary publc-house.

having an arc@way in the open street, with
