Repubican clubs for the approaching important state

were met at the station by prominent Republicans and
escorted the Globe Hotel Great interest was shown
in the visit by Senator Frank Hscock and Congressman
James J. Belden and other leading Republicans, and
hearty aid given to them In their work here. Ex-
Congressman Belden present at conference held
By the officers of the League previous TO public meet
Ing which they 10 address this evening" and ex-
pressed views respecting the political situation
IN this State OF high interest al am glad YOU are
making this tour said Mr.. Belden, because think
YOU the popular desire in this State among
Republicans for immediate organized work In behalf
Of the Republican party. II can read popular sent-
ment Alright there Is at the present time great wave
Of Republican feeling passing over the United states
There wasn't Republican in Syracuse who did not
regret that he could have been present at the great
convention In Columbus when Major Mckinley was
nominated for Governor of Ohio.
1.-The enthusiasm in Ohio among Republicans IS also
present among the Republicans Of New-fork. Wy'
last night. in Cortland they held Republican meet
ing which, to every ones surprise was attended by
over 400 voters and they only bad local speaker
Assemblyman Kennedy Of Syracuse and the night was
a very hot one Every one would have said. before
that meeting was held. that il would not be ATTENDED
by over bakers dozen Of people People come INTO
nv Office every day and inquire when the Republican
campaign is to begin. They are deeply interested
in il We should take advantage Of this Republican
boom and force the lighting in this state am elao
you are going TO hold League and State Conventions
here in August. Go and organize your clubs ana
hold a big convention. hope that your example ana
energy will lead the Republican State Committee 10
call an early Republican state Convention, one that
shall be held in the middle of August II VIII not 40
for MS TO neglect 10 foster the present Republican
boom ana postpone Republican state Convention
until late in September and then hold 1t some coid
day at Saratoga and make a perfunctory nomination
for Governor No. what should have in this state
il an aggressive campaign and one begun early enough
for us TO organize our party Our county commttees
are not organized until after the State Convention is
held and therefore if the convention is held late the
campaign work begins late.
My personal opinion is that the man we ought 10
nominate for Governor IS Chauncey Nj. Depew WIN
linn as our candidate sweep the state. 1t Is
obvious that the Democrats intend TO nominate X T.
Flower for Governor. Think of the contrast upon the
stump between Chsuncey NJ. Depew, great orator
- there ever was one. and Roswell p. Flower VIII
Mr. Depcw accepts ! don't know, but would 60
ahead and nominate him without consulting him. lie
vould be nominated by acclsmation and in that case
believe he would accept. In my opinion ne IS 700
good Republican 10 refuse nomination thus
rendered him By the unanimous voice OF MS
MARTY He is our Mckinley, our man with the electric
and attractive qualities to carry the State at
this opportune time 1t is great opportunity, ana
hope the Republican party will rise TO the occasXn ana
nominate Mr. Depew carry tho State OF Newfork, and
in advance O: 1892 give US the next Presidency"
