uI'sa'ions OF prominent Republicans who came from
every city in the state. and especially from
NoW. ork, Brooklyn and Buffalo There was also

III IRON delegates, who will arrive to-morrow en-.
sae,us rooms The most prominent Republican
leader who had arrived up to D. m was General
'onn ~ Knapp, Of Auburn the chairman Of the Re-
fuoiicdu state Committee. He was in good humor
o'er inc prospects Of large attendance at fhe CON
'en'loh' With him came Senator j. sloat Fassett
% ~ iiniHd' secretary OF the Republican National
% %intee Mr. Fassett confident that the
t'ePuDhcan party would elect both its State and
Loeisi@lVe tickets. When asked about the attitude
no ulousht tho Republican party ought 10 take re-
eu"s the temperance issue, he said that any retreat
rom the high stand it took last year In favor of
temperance legislation would be suicidal.
Ihefe also came Chester 5. Cole. of Corning
chairman OF the Republican State Committee in 1852
ance plank OF last year.
We should reairm that plank" he said, "and
HldAo another strong fight for high Lcense.o
senator Commodore P. Vedder of ElllcOttville
another arrival is also strongly interested In the tenn
perance plank to be adopted. In his opinion the
attention of the taxpayers of the State should be
directed In the platform to Governor HIPS veto of
inc Nedder lquor-tax bln by which the tax
payers lost over S2,50O,0O0 that would have been
paid In to county treasures by the llduordealers.
The New-York delegates who arrived manifested a
Keen interest In tho question whether not John J.
oBren and his contesting delegation from the With
Assembly District of that city should be admitted to
the convention. Police Justice Soon E. smith said
Mr. O'Brien Will not be admitted TO the convention
We shall say 10 the convention that the delegates of
twenty three Of the twenty four Assembly districts of
New- York are opposed to his admission. only one
district, the XvIIIth Bernard Bign's favors oBrien's
admission In our opinion the delegates from other
counties in the state will heed protest against
0'Brien's admission. To admit him would be highly
Injurious to the discipline Of the Republican organiza-
ton of New-Yorks
These views of Justice Smith were repeated
by Police Justice Patterson, by John W. Jacobus,
by Sheridan Shook and by many other delegates from
NewYork.
On the other hand, delegates from the interior.
districts reported that Mr.. O'Bren had put
on board Of railroad trains coming to Saratoga, and
these attempting to persuade delegates that they
ought to admit the OBrlen Some of the country
delegates apparently had been affected by these argu-
ments. There Is prospect, therefore, of contest
between the bulk of The New-York egaon and the
o'Brlen delegation before the Committee Con.
tested Seats.
There will also appear before the same committee
delegations contesting three Assembly Districts in
Albany County. notable delegation has come from

Poor, r. Il. Heford, president of the Republican
League, and ex-Assemblyman James \. Roberts.
There aro thlrty-sx moro Bulfalonians coming
said Mr. Warren, 10 press tho nomination OF Judge
Haight We think Western New-York should have
the nomination. since Judge DanfOlth, who will retire
from the bench OF the Court Of Appeals. comes from
that part Of the State. There is only ono opposition
candidate, that ! aware namely. Judge Alfred
Cleveland Coxe of Utica. Judge Coke Is an excellent
judge, but We think the Court of Appeals is now
amply supplied with judges from the centre of the
state -Four Of the seven judges Of the Court Of Ap
peas namely Judges Euger, Finch, Earl and Andrews,
live In the central counties of the State. II Judge
Coke were elected, he would come from these same
counties But we have such promises of support for
our candidate from other counties in the State, that
we are confident OF his election. I had estimated
aheaI Of his ticket In Western New-York but Judge
Lambert Of Chautaulua County, tells me that Judge
IIaght would run that much ahead IN Chautduqu"
and Cataraugus Counties aone7
James A. Dennlson, of Johnstown, who is a law
partner OF ex-Attorney-Gencrn Leslie W. Russell
In NewYork arrived here 10 night Major Dennsoh

Dennson was a candidate for Atoney-General on the
Republican state ticket which defeated In 1887.
but he Is confident that this one VIII be elected ana
he desires the nomination. If nominated, he woud
represent the soldier element Of the ticket having oeen
a brave Union soldier. The NewYork delegates ap-
parently will vote unanimously for ex-ASsemoymah
J. NJ Varnum for Attorney General
The multitude OF candidates shows that there Is
general belief that the Republican ticket VIII Do
