TO be better organization now than ever existed
before so long before the opening OF campaign The
question to who shall be nominated as Governor
has not attained any prominence and the active dis
oussion OF the merits CT those men who have been
mentioned as candidates probably will remain in aoey-
ance until about the time Of the State Convention.
Cornelius Parsons, who has served fourteen years
as Mayor of Rochester, was highly elated over the
decision of the committee. Monroe County Will give
5000 majority" he said "for the Republican ticket
There will be more enthusiasm there than ever before
II will not make any difference who is on the ticket
All the nominees will be elected. There is no fac
ona fight or any dlssenslon of any kind In our section
Everything is harmonious. We have not thought much
about the GOvernorshp. Any good man VIII be &C
ceptabe TO u.s. The convention VIII be held ether
In the Washington Rink or the Lyceum Theatre. Both
are centrally situated and the accommodations for mold
Ing large meeting are excellent.
About the appointment of Mr.. Fassett3 Well,
this port IS little out Of my bailiwick, but tllhR
the President has made splendid selection. Mr.
Fassett is young. bright apd vigorous He VIII make
O splendid official Yes, suppose will be the Re-
Gratis OF course will put up Mr. McNaughton.'
Dwight Lawrence, who was proxy for Congressman
John NJ Viewer of Pattsburg. voted to have the con-
vention held in Saratoga. lie was not much nsap-
pointed however, about the result and he moved TO
make the vote for Rochester unanimous. Il like

satisfy me. think Fassett's appointment is the best
the President has made up to this time"
William II. Robertson said he was not candidate for
reelection TO the State senate. About the Gov
ernorshlp1 he said "either Sarn, Sloan or Hendricks
would be elected If nominated. There seems 10 Do

That organization will be a potent factor in the COM
ing election"
Marshal Jacobus said 81 think sloat Fassett is
lust the man for the place Of Collector, but don't
see how he afford 10 take It, Iherc Is no man
in the state Of NewYork who has before him such
brilliant political future as Mr.. Fassett This new
pace will confne him for eighteen months, and for
that length of time he will be forced to sacrifice him
Eeh"
David Rosenbaum representing the Board of Trade
NJ syracuse was an ardent advocate before the COM
.ttee in favor Of holding the convention in that city,
II the committee could have been swayed by strong
language syracuse would have been chosen "Of
course wanted syracuse TO have the convention but
Rochester was my next choice If had not been for
the state Fair which opens on September TO- we
would have succeeded The enthusiasm among lead
ing Republicans and business mon in our district Is
remarkable when it Is considered that the campaign
has not opered. and there is no one man named who
is prominent as a candidate for Governor. i am
no politician but know that we are stronger than
ever before Next fall we will give large majority
to the ticket whoever is nominated"
Alderman Stevenson, who represented the Mayor
Of Syracuse in urging the committee 10 have the con-
yention held in that city, said that he was satisfied
all lie therefore did
feel disguntled about the decision. Mr. stevenson,
IN talking about state politics. said There is no
dissension and no factonal fight in our county Every
thing Is harmonious About the Governorshp, can
say that Hendricks would be very acceptable
Since / have been here l have heard his name NEIL
toned and would not be surprised If he were nom
mated"
j. W. Green Editor Of 90 The Buffalo Daily E1press'3
was the Proxy of George Urban. jr., Of Buffalo. Hr
Green said that the Republicans in Erie County were
contented and united "There is every prospect, ne
sad Of success for next fall. The factlonal fight
now going in the Democratic ranks in our district
is helping us. James W. Wadsworth has been men
toned as a good for Governor but no one VIII be
able 10 tell who Will be nominated until the convention
has decided the question:
J. A. Place Editor Of The oswego Daily Times
is on Intimate terms with Mr. Sloan, whose name has
been mentioned In connection with the Governorshp
Mr.. Place said Mr.. Sloan will not allow his name
10 be used as candidate for the Senate and in fact he
Is not candidate for any place. The State SenatoShp
belongs 10 Jefferson County and it should 60 there and
that Is one reason why Mr.. sloan will not run again
lie is not disgrunted, and will be just as active and
as earnest in support of the ticket this fall as ever
before There will be a struggle between the Hill and
Cleveland factions and think the anti-Hill men VIII
prevail. As to Governor, will take any one. Wads-
worth would be a good man. lie is farmer and he
was soldier. although only boy at the time starn
is good man, and Andrew D. White would make
very good candidate"
Congressman Serene f. Payne represented in the
committee Chairman J. n Knapp. who was detained
at his home in Auburn by Illness The Republicans
are all united up in district. but no dissension
would be developed anyway until after the convention
Our Democratic friends however are having a red
hot fight on their hands which began some time ngo
over the question whether the state Committeeman
should be for or against Hill. As to the Republican
candidate for Governor don't think there Is any
orystauzation of opinion on the subject. good
many names have been mentioned. but in my 1udg-
ment the Republicans throughout the state are ready
10 unite or any good man. The farmers VIII sct
