EMPIRE STATE REPUBLICANS.
Gen John Palmer Their Nominee for
Secretary OF State.

Syracuse, y. y. oct. 6.-Seldom has q
state convention assembled in recent
years in New York with so little Of slate
making in advance as did that Of the re-
publicans to-day. At the morning session
only routine business was transacted, and
an adjournment was taken until 4 p. m.
A the afternoon session, Judge Frank
Brundage of Erie county was reported
for permanent chairman, and after has
speech, nominations for the court OF
appeals and judgeship were first made.
Edward T. Bartlett of New York was
chosen on the first ballot
The committee on resolutions next pre-
scented its report The platform starts
out with this sentence THE time has
come to rescue the state of New York
from the despOtic control Of an utterly
selfish and personal machine All men
are then invited to join with the Repub-
lican party to effect a reform.
Five men constitute the demo-
cratic machine and seek the
mastery of the commonwealth runs
the platform, and then follows
a recitation of Judge Maynard's admins
tration and denial of what he did and
what his party has been enabled to do as
a result. The reapportionment and the
subsequent legislation in the democratic
House and Senate are analysed and con
demned.
Among its pledges the platform prom
ises to prevent prostitution of the bal
lot, the burglary of the ballot box and
larceny of the election returns"
The principles of the Minneapolis plat
form are Reimbursed and the present in
dustrial uncertainty is attributed to the
fear of an indiscriminate reduction of
tariff duties, now in progress at Wash
ington.
Upon recommendation of the resolutions
committee, it has decided that the new
state committees after 1898 should con-
tinue their duties until Jan. 1.
Nominations being resumed Gen John
Palmer of Albany, was nominated by ac-
clamation for secretary Of state; James
A. Roberts of Buffalo, also by acclama-
tion, was named for controller; Addison
Colvin of Warren county, was nominated
for state treasurer and Theodore Hancock
of Syracuse was nominated for state at
torney general, and the ticket was con-
cluded by placing c. w. Adams of Oneida

tion is headed by Joseph Choate of New
York.

HOTEL MEN SUED FOR So, 900.
A Reporter Seeks Pecuniary Satisfac-
ton From the Pettyjohns.

Augusta, Ga, Oct "a somewhat
unique case has grown out of the recent
ButlerPettyjohn murder trial in Aiken.
1t will be remembered that Joseph Pet
tyjohn, proprietor of the Arlington hotel
in this city, was killed by Thomas Butler
in a shooting affray in Hamburg last sum
mer, in which Mr. PettyjOhn's son was
also badly wounded. In the trial of But
leR1or murder recently in Aiken, j. j.
Hyams, of the Evening News was a wit
ness, and his testimony was regarded by
the Pettyjohns as unfriendly After
Butler was acquitted Hyams was given
notice that his presence was not desired
in the Arlington hotel. 1t being public
hostelry, Hyams paid no attention to the
request. The other day he invited sew
eral friends in the lobby of the hotel to
take something, " but when they named
their drinks at the bar, the barkeeper de-
clined to serve them, and told Mr. Hyams
he had been instructed to let him have
nothing there. Mr.. Hyams demanded the
filling of his order. but it was refused.
AS satisfaction for the insult and indig-
nifty put upon him, Mr. Hyams has en-
ployed counsel and brought suit against
the hotel proprietors for s., 600.

NO IDLE BLACKS.
The Rumors That Many Are Out of
Work in Coffee County Unfounded.


Work in Coffee County Unfounded.
Waycross, Ga, Oct. 6.-Mr. George
w. Deem, one of the most prominent
naval stores men in Ware county, says
there is no truth in the rumor that hun
dreds of negroes are idle in Coffee county
on account of being thrown out of en-
plOymeut by the turpentine men.
The negroes have been at work all the
time, and they will not be allowed to re.
main at the stills If they fail to work.
There is no cause for alarm on account of
negroes being idle. There has been no
decrease in the number of hands en-
ployed on the turpentine farms since Jan
uary. The men are employed getting off
scrape and the women and children are
picking cotton in the neighborhoOd. The
price paid for picking cotton is 81 25 per
hundred pounds, sea island cotton.
He says that the suggestion made by a
writer to the press from Douglas, Ga,
that turpentine men be required to feed
the negroes free or send them home free
of charge, is idle talk.

preaching City Election.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct 6.-Prohibition is to
figure conspicuously in the approaching
city election which occurs in December
For several weeks past the prohibition
lists have been quietly organizing and
shaping up their campaign under the
leadership of Alderman Shropshire, who
is president of the prohibition club. To-
day an ironclad pledge which the prohibit
tion club is circulating for the campaign
came to the surface. The pledge binds
all who sign it TO support the nominees of
the prohibition club to the last ditch on
election day, and also binds them not to
commit their support to anybody un-
til the prohibition ticket is announced.
The circular has created a breeze among
the conservative element, who believed
the prohibition question was settled At
present the prohibitionists have consider
able strength in council. Their hope is to
secure a working majority and then have
prohibition through high license. The Ii
cense is already 81, 900, fixed by various
compromises on the issue to keep down
open strife.

A Large Saving.
From the New Orleans Picavnl

From the New Orleans Picayune.
1t is estimated that the overhauling of
the pension lists by commissioner Loeb
rem will result in saving to the country
no less than Sl2S,000,000. About 25 per
cent of the 30; 900 names that were added
to the list under the act of 1890 are liable
to be dropped permanently. About IS
per cent more will be given lower
rating. The average of this reduction is
estimated at S36 per annum, which for
70, 900 cases would amount to 81, 700 900.
In the eleven years these pensions are esti-
mated to run, the expenditure would be
500, 100000, which added to the savings
upon rejected cases, makes total of
SIS, 100000, and not one penny of this vast
sum is withheld from a veteran entitled
to it according to the most liberal inter
probation of the law.
