BUFFALO REPUBLICANS WANT TO SEE THEIR
Ex-MAYoR NOMINATED.
Albany, Aug. % spcclaD. Buffalo Republicans
and those Republicans who live in Erie County outside
of the city seem to be unanimous In favoriny the
nomination Of ex Mayor Philip Becker, OF Buffalo for
Governor. Last night the Republican League Of Erie
County passed resolutions favorlng the nomination OF
Mr.. Becker To-day there came 10 this city band
of prominent Republicans OF Buffalo, who have been
sent out by the Republican organization Of the city
TO cali the attention Of other Republicans in the state
TO Mr.. BeCkcrs merits as a candidate. This band
consists of Senator Laughlin, ex-senator ID. H. Nc
MILAN, o. &. Warren, Editor of "The Buffalo Com

J. Hurd, former chairman OF the Republican County
Committed Hiram Exstein and Henry L. Schwartz
Mr.. Mcmillan said In support OF Mr. BecIer's candi-
dacy Mr.. Becker is German American merchant
OF Buffalo, who for six years recently was Mayor OF the
city. As Mayor he was one OF the most competent
we ever had. He sagacious and honest, and his
administration was an excellent one. We believe
that he would be elected That is one Of strongest
reasons for presenting his nomination We have
rothing to say against any other candidates We
simply think that candidate by virtue OF his pub
lie record and personal popularity would have the best
chance TO be elected
senator Laughln said /" Mr. Becker will have the
hearty support of the Republicans OF Western New
York, and we promise to~give him a tremendous ma
Jorlty in Buffalo, If he should be nominated for Gov
II is, perhaps, forgotten that Buffalo Is tho
largest Republican city in the State We have $50 900
population. When therefore, the Republicans of such
place unitedly ask the nomination Of a man aud say
that he be elected we think that their suggestO1
should be regarded by the Republican state Conyen-
tiOn with much consideration. And | think IL will he
