Charles W. Haclett. the chairman of the En-
ccutivc Committee of the Republican State Com
IDittee. presided az the meeting which was called
70 order in one of the large rooms al the hotel
soon after / o'clock in the morning. The county
clmirmen werc called upon by Mr.. lackett, in the
alphabetical order of the counties, for report as
10 the outlook in their counties There was no
commemorative Of Albany County. and Allesany
County was the first that was responded for.
Mr.. Glenn said for his county that there had been
in the past an extensive Farmers Alliance feeling
in Allecany, but that had been pretty we'll
of no mos
farmers have had owing to the Mckinley bill.
Everything is being done in our part of the
State be said d" to get out full registration of
the voters, and to- get them to the polls on Flee
ton Day."
Mr.. Lyons. the chairman of the Broomc County
(.ornmittees said: 1--WE gave General Harrison
over | 900 majority, but do not think that we
shall be able to- do quite well as that this
YEAR This is due to no trouble or to no 1eehng
avainst the President, but to the fact that Tour
years ago the people of Binghamton were angry
over the way in which they had been treated by
the Democratic Administration in the location of
the public building there That helped out our
vote somewhat We shall do nearly as we'll az
we did then, however.
The other reports which were received were
extremely encouraging. From Erie County came
the word that the Republicans had ont their
proportions than ever before. Mr.. Hammond, OF
Wavne County who is one of the brightest Of
the upstate Republicans, told the members or
the State Committee and his brother charmen,
that the biz speakers ought rot TO be sent alto
oether 70 the large cities. A man like Major
Mckinley or eX-Spealcr Reed wound make many
votes for the Republicans if they were sent 70
the smaller towns. There they would he COM
pelled 70 speak out of doors and many thousands
of people would drive to the town To see ana 10
hear them. He was earnest in explaining - the
managers OF the campaign how much more good
from his point of view a speaker OF National
reputation could do in the country than they
could do in the larger cities lie urged the mem
hers of the State Committee and of the National
Committee 10 do all that they could for the rest
of the campaign 10 send speakers of this charac-
ter into the country. Mr.. Sheppard the char
man of the Yates County committee, had excel
lent reports u make from his part OF the STATE.
The Republicans" he said are alive and active
and they intend 10 get ont their vote. Last faii
we could not get them out.
John F. Parkhurst, of Stcuben County, also
renorted favorably from his part of the State.
The Steuben County Republicans are iii line, ana
they will be heard from, the theme OF his
talk All the representatives Of counties IN when
tboir citics had a registration last Saturday
declared that the voters came ont much Det'er
than was expected. This, they said, was most
encouraging sign. There were many complaints
AS 10 the new ballot law. From many quarters
came the cry that the Republican farmers IN the
country were yet afraid of the law. They ana
not like to 20 10 the polls to vote and make
mistake In the cities the law now working
all right and the voters understood 1t, but out
in the country the voters were not used u II.
Efforts were being made, the various chairmeh saiu
10 establish schools of instruction In cach sch'oi
district where the voters could 90 on meet
ing nights and on of days 10 practise N voting
While the Republican leaders were in session
word was brought to them that Senator sherman
was in the hotel and a committee was sent 70 ms
room to get him 10 join them in the conference
