FOR ROOMS AT SARATOGA
DISPATCHES TO THE HOTEL MEN FROM RE
PUBLICANS OF TIE STATE.
INDICATIONS THAT EVERY DELEGATE TO THU
CONVENTION WILL BE PREsENT-THE
OUTLOOK AS TO CANDIDATES.


Der of teegrams engaging rooms which are re-
ceved by the hotel proprietors Of Saratoga that
every one of the ~ men elected as delegates to
the Republican State Convention intends to accept
his commission. Besides the delegates, large
number of Republicans interested in the work OF
the convention also will apparently be present.
When the convention is called 20 order on Wednes-
day at noon, it is estimated that over l,2Oo
Republicans from other counties OF the State VIII
be within the boundaries Of Saratoga. IL Is clear
moreover to one reading the list Of the delegates
elected in the sixty counties of the State that ths
convention will be remarkably representative n
character of the Republican party. Nearly every
leader of the party in this State will be present
at its deliberations. 1t is apparent that the work
TO be done by the convention is considered OF ex-
ceptional Importance, involving, as it does, tho
election of all the State officers exceps
Governor and Lieutenant Governor. Of Senate
which will vote for United States
Senator in 1891, and OF Legislature
as a whole, which, if Democratic, would in CON
junction with Governor Hill, reapportion all the
legislative acts and create Constitutional
Convention that would revise the Constitution
in the interest of the Democratic party. Further
more. it is obvious that every Republican feels
that the excellent Administration OF President
Harrison should receive the direct commentator
of the voters of Newlorl by electing the Repuo-
licans who may be nominated for State ana
legislative Offices Especially in the matter oi
a United States Senatorshp the National Admins
tration is believed to be concerned resolution
strongly approving President Harrison S Admins
tIation viii make it clear to the outside world
how the Republicans of New-York look upon
that Administration.
The United States Hotel, which is the only
one of tine leading hotels of Saratoga whose doors
are still open, will be the headquarters oil the
Republican State Committee and of the leading
delegates to the convention. General John y.

Wednesday,
The only Republican yet here who has been
mentioned as a candidate for State Office is eX-
Congressman John Van Voorhis, of Rochester.
Mr. Van Voorhis is here thus early, however, in
certain sense accidentally. He was jOurneyng
from the White Mountains to his home IN Roches-
ter when he heard that he had been eected
delegate to the convention, and therefore came 10
Nv friends in Rochester, he said to-day.
L see. have suggested my nomination for At
torney-Cieneml, but | am not a candidate for
that Office, and shall not seek the nomination;
although | would accept the honor If it was con-
Harbormastcr Clarence W. Meade, of New
York. who arrived here last night says that he
thinks the New-lork delegation Will support
ex-Assemblyman James NJ Varnum, or Newt
York for Attorney Genera and that Mr.
Varnum has received such pledges of support
from other counties in the State that his friends
believe he will be nominated There Is; how
ever another candidate for the nomination for
Attorney-General, namely, james A D"nnson,
of Johnstown, Fulton County: There are two
active candidates for the nomination Tor Judge
Haght, Of Buffalo, at present. member OF ths
Second Division OF the Court Of Appeals and
A. G.. Coke, of Utica, United States District
Judge for the Northern District Of New-Yorl<
Then there is the unknown candidate whose
nomination is desired by those Ncw-YorlI lawyers
who held a meeting on Friday ana pdS>eu feSolu-
tons to the effect that New-lOr< ought 10 have
a larger representation on the Court OF Appe1li
bench. o. G.. Warren of Buffalo, has made an
active canvass in favor OF the nomination OF
Judge Haight declaring that if the latter is nom
mated. there will be 1000 votes gained IN
Western New-York for the Republican State
ticket
Republican candidate year ago FOR Judge OF
the Court of Appeals, 1t is authontalvey
stated, declines nomlnation tins year. -.
General Stephen Moiitt, of Plattsburg, who
represented Clinton County in the last Assembly,
is pressed by his friends for the NOMINATION
for State Treasurer General Moiit was brave
Union soldier, and his nomination is therefore
strongly supported by members of the Grand
Army of the Republic Senator OConnor OK
Broolxlyn has also been suggested for State
Treasurer, but he declines the nomination. John
w VroOman. of Hcrl<imer County, former clerk
of the Senate and az present Grand Master OF
the Masons CT New-Yorl< is suggest d for Con-
troer; but il is doubtful if he will accept
the nomination, as he considers that the mere
fact of hi, being the head of the Masonic fraternity
disqualifes him from accepting nomination for
a State political office.
Several years ago VerplGnck COlvin, Of Albany,
the head OF the Adirondack Survey, was prom
inent candidate for State Engineer, and came
within a few votes of securing the nomination.
His friends now again pressing his nomination
for the same office. His nomination, they assert,
would be especially gratifying TO the Republicans
Of Northern New-Yorll who are acquainted with
the value OF his services TO the State.
