sUcCEss-TR1BUTES FROM DEMOCRATS.
Most of the New-York delegates 10 the Rochester
Convention have returned Many Of them were ct
the hotels and at the clubs last evening, but vhcr
ever they went in public places they were sur
rounded BIZ party friends who eagerly inquired con-
corning the details and results Of the convention
Everywhere among Republicans there was feeling
OF satisfaction over the spontaneous action OF the
DELEGATES in choosing Fassett and Vroomnn to be the
standard-bearers IN the coming campaign. 1t was no
fictitious or perfunctory expression Of opinion as to
the result that given. Every Republican
who was seen firmly believed that at no time for
years had the Republican party a better chance for
success in this State. Growing enthusiasm, good
nature and confidence were apparent everywhere
Senator Hlscock who came from Rochester With
ex-senator Platt said, in speaking about the con-
vention al have attended good many political con-
ventions in my life but never have / attended one
where more enthusiasm was displayed than at Roch
ester Not only that, but the ticket is the best one
that has been made for years. 1 honestly believe
that there is no discomfort. Those delegates who
went TO Rochester in the interest OF or an
other unsuccessful candidate went back 10
their homes in good-humor l am sure OF
that II reported that the friends of Mr.. Becker
were dissatisfied because he was not nominated tor
Governor, and that they would bolt Fassett Now,
can state that the of feeling exists their part
toward the rest Of the party. We are going to win
this fall We have good pletform and ticket made
up of young who are brilliant and popular"
Ex-senator Plat OF those who returned
early from the Rochester convention AL DAY long
his friends called him, and at the Fifth Avenue Hotei
last night he the centre of interest HIS niehos
said that Mr.. Plat WAS the most surprised man In
the convention the sudden rise Of the overwhelm
ing sentiment for Mr.. Fassett He had earnestly ana
sincerely supported Mr. White for the nomination, ana
up to within day or two of the convention IeIt
assured that the ex-presdent OF Cornell University
would be nominated On Friday or saturday OF last
week the name Of Fassett had been brought forward
and demand made by the friends Of the popular
young that he should be the candidate Of the
Republican party for Governor. Mr.. Plat stu r-
NAMED firm, so his friends say, in his allegiance to
the Of Mr.. White but on his arrival at Roch-
ester his keen political insight finally compelled him
to surrender in favor Of Fassett n is said that Mr.
White most heartily ndorses the ticket and VIII
take an active part in the campaign.
PLEASED WITH THE SILVER PLANK.
Wall Street men are usually shy in discussing
political subjects, and persons prominent In
financial matters are slow to lend the support Of
their names to opinions which they freely express
in private. There were many expressions OF approval
of the Republican ticket and platform by brokers
who begged for the suppression of their names. The
most striking feature Of comment around the Stock
Exchange the recognition of the importance Of
the clear declaration by the Rochester convention
given for the recent Improvement in the security
markets TO utterances of President Harrison and
Secretary Foster pledeng the National Administration
TO the principles of sound finance. The solid position
taken by the Republicans of New-York State on the
financial question induced favorable comment. Those
who look ahead said that they saw promise that
business men would testify as they have done in the
past to their approval of the partys clear record
and disposition as respects honest financial prln-
ciplcs. The strength Of Mr.. Fsssett a candidate
CONCEDED on all sides, and among Republicans
spirit of confidence manifested.
s. V. White said 81 think l put my ideas
succinctly. The Republican party in the platform
and the nominees gives the State opportunity for
an honest government, upon honest principles, that
shall be much surprised if the people reject next
November at the polls believe it means Re
publican victory"
John G. Moore, OF Moore & schley, said "Its q
ticket and a platform that will win. The man who
leads the ticket good and the principles back
of him. The silver plank in the platform is strong.
and you can't be too strong that subject"
Henry w. Cannon, president of the Chase National
Bank, said "The Republican ticket nominated yes
teriay at Rochester deserves the support Of every
Republican in this city, and the nominees, without
exception, eminently fitted for their places.
The nomination of ]. sloat Fasset should cement TO-
getler all the factions Of our party lie is ideal
candidatea Chevaier Bayard, without fear and with
out reproach.' Although called a young man, he is
In the prime of life. Ills services to this State are
known 10 all. lie lays aside the Colectorsbip and
takes up the fight for Governor in a most manly and
unselfsh way, which is in strong contrast 10 the
leaders of the Democratic party. lie has not only
fine intellect, but he is situated that he devote
his time to the best interests Of our State. He has
the red blood of friendship and gOod-comradeshp in
his veins, which makes him akin to all The plank
in the platform which insists upon honest dollar
for the people cannot fail to commend itself TO all
thinking men, not only in this State but throughout
the country. The Democratic platforms in Ohio and
other States indicate that the maintenance Of gold
and silver at parity cannot be continued unless
the Republican party's principles prevail and the
convention did right in indorsing the utteranoes of
President Harrison, to wit: that every dollar issued
by the Government, whether paper coin, should
be good any other dollar
