COLONEL vARNUM PRESIDEs.
The convention was particularly fortunate in
its presiding officer, James NJ Varnum, who
held the same office at the Republican State
Convention at Rochester. Colonel Varnum maze
one Of his happest speeches in taking the CHAIR
His telling points against Tammany Han. ana
the discounted and badly shaken Democracy were
caught up quickly by his responsive audience and
oheered again and again. His reference TO j. Sloat
Fassett, his splendid record and the glorious pros
pect of his triumphant election were vehemently
applauded The resolutions adopted have the true
Republican ring and iudiciously and conclsely
present the issues of the campaign. The noml-
mating speeches Of Messrs. Murray, Clarke, Ran
uan 'bacKus anu simpson were IN excellent vein
and admirably presented the claims Of the various
candidates 10 the support Of the people The spirit
manifested by the convention throughout it's de-
beratons cannot fail largely 10 increase confidence
in the success of the party at the coming election
President William Brookfeld, on behalf Of the
County Committee called the convention to order
and proposed the name Of General James NJ
Varnum for temporary chairman. The Generals
name was received with an outburst Of applause
and he was unanimously chosen. On being es
corted to the platform he spoke as follows
highly the honor that has been conferred upon
me in making me your temporary chairman. There is no
hono that any one feels more than which is conferred
by friends among whom he has passed his life did hope
that anoth gentleman much ADLER much older much more
experienced and better Republican than would presioe AZ
your meeting. His voice has thrilled you at political con-
ventons and other meetings and his have echoed
through the whole state Of New-York and the Nation
Though regret HIS absence hope to hear o-noro"
