Show Given the Cleveland Fac
tiOn of the Party.

SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. 6.-Seldom has a
State convention assembled in recent years
in New York with so little of slate making
in advance as did that of the Republicans
to-day. The convention began it's work
With no programme mapped out for II and
no slate arranged by party bosses for it's
formal ratification. AS the delegates as
sembled in the Alhambra Rink there was
no one among them who would venture to
predict what the outcome of their delibera-
tens would be- or where the numberless
conferences or combinations were to land
the score of aspirants for places on the
State ticket. No one mans hand was
shaping results, for no one man could stem
the strong current of independence and free
action that ran among the delegates. The
determination to have no slated" candi-
dates and to settle upon no one for any
place until the whole State had been heard
from is felt everywhere, and those who
rave attempted to run counter to it have
suffered for their indiscretion.
The rink was well filled at noon the hour
set for the meeting of the convention. The
entrance of Chauncey NJ Depew, Thomas c..
Platt and Frank Hiscock called forth
cheers. Chairman Brookfeld, of the State
committee, organized the convention.
Prayer was offered, the roll was called and
Patrick w. Cullinan. of Oswego. was pre-
sented as temporary chairman. In his ad-
dress to the convention Mr.. cullinan can
vassed the achievements of the Republic
an party, referred to the administration OF
president Harrison, illuminated by the
genius Of a Blaine" as the golden age of
ent spectacle at Washington as humiliat-
ing to a Nation before the eyes of the
word. The assumption of State control by
The theft OF State and a crime against
the people" Mr.. Cullinan then bluntly
charged Judge MAYNARD with the work OF
its ultimate elimination, and called upon
the convention and the people to rebuke
the act When, in his speech, Mr.. Culli-
nan referred TO the Mckinley bill there was
rattle Of hand-clapping that died away
and was renewed more vociferously. and at
length became significant. and as the cheers
three cheers for Mckinney while another
shouted, And he'll be our next President,
too" Renewed cheers greeted this declar-
alton. The usual committees having been
appointed the convention took a recess
until D. IN When the convention reassem-
bled Hon. c. M. Depew spoke ten minutes
He referred to the resumption of labor
and the closed factories. But he added,
wages are cut" He declared that in one
year of Democratic rule labor had lost in
wages large percentage of the benefits
that had been assured TO them in twenty
nxe nv years & OF hepqSSncsh, a, administra5on f mn
drifting on the rocks of bankruptcy and
distress-be intrusted TO the Republican
crew again for safe pilotage.
Judge Frank Brundage, of Erie county,
.Sas reported for permanent chairman. He
made a speech that Epleased the conven-
ton, and then called for the report of the
committee on resolutions. The platform
starts out with this sentences: 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 Republican
party to effect reform. "Five men con-
stitute the Democratic machine and seek
the mastery of the commonwealth" runs
the platform, and then follows q recitation
of Judge Maynard's action in the election
of 1891, and denunciatiOn OF what he did
and what his party has been enabled to
do as a result. The reapportionment and
the subsequent legislation in the Demo-
cratic House and Senate are analyZed and
condemned Among it's pledges, the plat
form promises TO prevent prostitution OF
the ballot, the burglary Of the ballot box
and larceny of election returns" The prin-
ciples of the Minneapolis platform are re-
indorsed and the present industrial uncer-
tainty is attributed TO the fear of an in
discriminate reduction OF tarin duties, now
in progress at Washington. The only refer
ence to silver is embodied in clause
commencing Republican Senators and
Representa- tives in Congress for their adj
herence to the cause Of sound money and
a stable currency.
Upon recommendation of the resolutions

State committees, after 1S93 should COM
mence their duties Jan. l.
