slept under blankets last night. The morn
ing was crisp and brilliant and the day an
ideal one for close quarterln9 in convention
hall. The adhcrents of Phillip Becker OF
Buffalo were the first IF all TO be aStir this
morning, indeed many OF them behind large
badges marched over AMI around the battle
ground ali night long. Gen. stewart l..
Woodford of Kings county was resting this
morning AZ the head of ei%hty-cnc men from
his county, all holding that there are strong
reasons why the general should now be
raised 10 the place which he lost 10 John I.
Hoffman years ago. As Indicated III these
dispatches yesterday Hon Andrew ID.
White has written letter which gives the
convention leaders the option as TO the use
Of his name, and when it became known
among the delegates this morning that one
of the complications aroused by the taSsctt
uprising had been adjusted. there came Il
greater sense of security that the Young
collector would be the convention 5 nOlnI-
nee for governor.
John W. NORMAN. a friend of Warner
Miller, agreed 10 stand for licutenant-goV-
crnOr, and Einstein OF New York and
O'COnnor of Brooklyn are candidates for
secretary OF state, the place for which
Norman had been selected. Every effort
has been made to get Senator Sloan 10 ac-
ccpt the nomination for OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
but, after u conference with WddSwurJh, Il
leading ana warm friend OF Warner Miller,
Sloan announced he had determined not 10
accept any place upon the ticket to be nou-
mated here. it WAS felt by those IN control
of the convention that Il Miller man must
DE found who would take place upon the
ticket, and finally NORMAN was induced 10
accept, although many of his friends tried
to diSSuaGe him.
as the time approached for the convcn-
ton TO assemble Becker bands began their
music and delegates moved by ones and
twos and then by groups and squads up TO
convention hall.
At T. 20 all was ready and Gen Knapp,
chairman of the state committee, stepped
to the front of the platform and called the
convention TO order, Rev Dr. Stcbbns
offered prayer. at the conclusion of which
the orchestra and a quartClte led the con
ventiOn in singing the hymn America
Just as the singing was finished tdSsett
was seen making his way toward his seat.
and his appearance was the signal for wild
and prolonged cheering. ii was FULLY i've
minutes before the chairman could restore
order so that the roll might be called.
Gen. Knapp then spoke very briefly and
reference to the
MATCHLEsS MAN FROM MAINE
was received with terrific and prolonged
applause He then renOminated W. W
Goodrich as temporary chairman ana he
was unanimously chosen. ana was escorted
10 the platform by Col. Elliott +. Shepard
and John :. W. Camp.
When, during the course of his speech,
reference was made by Goodrich to Presj-
dent Harrison and to Blaine in connection
with recent reciprocity measures, there was
hearty cheering, about equal in time and
intensity. The name of Speaker Reed was
likewise Justify cheered. The usual com
mitteeS were then appointed and the con
ventlOn took Il recess until / p. III.
The delegates were brought TO order in

2atiOn committee. reported the name of
James NJ. Narnum for permanent oh irman
and then read the list Of vice-preSidents
and secretaries The report was adopted
and Varnum was escorted to the chair and

we would have our country win are the
victories of peace, secured through honor
able treaties and through mutual cOnceS-
sions between the nations of America,
