tended the Republican State Convention here to-
day,s off imbued with the spirit of those who
present at the conventions held in the Fremont
year, the Lincoln year, the Grant year, and the
Garfield year, will go to their homes tonight filed
with determination to win the State of New-Yorll
this fall and elect a Republican as Presi-
dent; for they have listened to speeches
from William A. Sutherland, Whitelaw Reid,
Chauncey NJ. Depew. and j. Sloat
Fassett which should inspire the most
apathctic Republican soul to do his utmost to
sustain his party its candidates and its political
principles at the fall election. And these speeches,
when disseminated they will be by the news
papers of the State tomorrow and in the coming
week. among the voters will, it can be pre-
dicted, bring thousands of voters TO the Repub-
lican party and arouse thousands of Republicans
to energetic political action
1t was apparent week ago that the conven-
ton would elect Thomas C. Platt. Chauncey

Republican National Convention; and when

that the convention would pass resolutions heartily
commencing President Harison's Administration,
and when this was done it was received with
enthusiasm: yet it having been clear that it
would be done, there was no sensation among the
members of the convention. The choice of Henry
". Sage. of Ithaca, and Jesse Scgman, of New
York, to head the Republican electoral ticket had
not been heradcd in advance, and, therefore, the
news of the selection was received with decided
interest
STIRRING SPEECHES To THE DELEGATES.
But the speeches surprised people. For good
many years the delegates to the State conven-
tions have been listening to speeches from tenn
porary and permanent charmen who evidently
have been drafted only few hours before
they have appeared upon the platform Of the CON
ventions and as a consequence the speeches de-
liyercd usually have been Of little worth. The
most that could he said Of them generally was
that they filed a gap. But Messrs. Sutherland,
Reid Depew and Fassett evidently saw that the
time had arrived to put end TO this era OF
the commonplace and 70 elevate the State Con-
vention platform TO n plane from which the Re
