Mr. Fnssett received a large number of congTatuatory
kilograms in the Of the day. All testified to
the hope that has been inspired In the hearts OF all
Republicans By his nomination. Elnira people say
that the condition of Mr.. Fnssett's house at Elmra
the strongest kind Of evidence Of his having been
seized by the Republican porty and compelled to be-
come Its candidate for Governor. Mr.. and Mrs. Fas-
sett had about completed their plans to remove To
Now York to live in consequence Of his appointment
as Collector. They had hired fat there and the
household furniture had been packed up for its re-
moval to the metropolis. Mr. Fassetts front yard Is

state Committee In New York IN the coming week at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel and chairman will be elected
General John n. Knapp Of Auburn. the chairman for
three past has retired from the committee and
new man must be selected Mr FGssctt will, OF
course be consulted about this choice Of a chairman
Of the committee, since this Office Will hold CONT
Dental relations TO him. The members Of the com
mittce most frequently named for chairman are
Francis Hendricks Of Syracuse, and John IL.
Camp, OF Lyons. 1t Is possible that Mr.. Hendricks
VIII be appointed Collector Of New York This, Of course,
would incapacate him from acting as chairman Of

feated candidates for Governor, is showing excel
lent spirit lie has become member Of the State

Ing the issues OF the campaign TO the voters. 1t Is
probable that he viii make his first speech in the city

Republican League 10 make q speech there under its
auspices, early in the campaign. Mr.. Fassett is a
fine campaign speaker and his familiarity with State
legislation and the acts Of the Democratic State officials
the past six years will give him ample material TO use
in making these speeches. II will be an aggressive
campaign on his part from the moment of his first
speech.
One OF the most encouraging features OF the Re-
publican campaign just beginning is the union and
harmony that prevail among all Republicans All
shades Of Republican opinion are expressed by the
men who have been placed upon the State ticket
Two warm friends Of Warner Miller have places of
great honor upon the ticket John W. vrooman that

thur C. Wade that Of the nomination for Controller
Mr.. Vrooman for many years as Is well known has
been an intimate personal friend Of Mr.. Miller. Upon

Ter namely George B. Sloan, Andrew S. Draper Ham
ilton Fish, and Henry G. Burlegh, went in company
10 the room OF Mr. Vrooman in the Powers Hotel and
insisted upon his accepting place upon the State
ticket They said that Warner Mer's friends
should show their sincere purpose heartily to support
MI Fessett for Governor by placing at his side
Mr.. Mller's dearest friends. A little later in the
evening senator sheard, exCOngrcssman sherman and
Hobart KT1im also dear friends of Mr. Miller entered
Mt Vrooman's room and made the same argument
nomination for LieutenantGO Governor. Mr. VrOOman at
first said TINT lie was not candidate for any State
office; but overcome by these arguments of MIR
Mers friends, at last consented to accept the nOmi-
nation for Lieutenant Governor IL need not be said
that this harmony In Republican ranks annoys the
Democrats intensely, and that they are now ac-
knowledgng that the Republicans may carry the State

afternoon, when he started for Icrkmer, where he
