The Hon Louis +. Payn. the Republican
warrior Of Columbia county. has been an illus
| trious figure at the Conventions OF his party
since Lincoln's time. He is not free with his
prophecies to newspaper men as to the result
Of q Convention. but when he does make one
go right outside. hunt up some fellow. and bet
your last dollar on Mr. Payn's prediction. Last
night Mr. Payn kindly told THE Sun reporter
| that Jake Patterson would continue his fight
| in tho Convention for John Sabine Smith for
the nomination for Judge Of the Court OF APP
peals. Mr.. Payn at the same time complacently
| added that the result would be that the Con-
ventlon would smash both Mr.. Patterson and
his candidate That's exactly what hap
poned to-day in Alhambra Hall. 1t was fur
thermore demonstrated that Mr.. Patterson
may be a humping fine fellow in
Harlem district. but when he gets out into the
broad domain Of. the State he is not fly on
wheel to the Hon. Thomas Collier Platt the
Republican chieftain Of Tioga county. who
for the first time sat to-day in q State Conven-
tion as New York city man. Mr.. Plat led
the Eighth Assembly district delegation, in
which ex-Postmaster Cornelius Van Colt is
such power. Mr. Edward 7. Bartlett of New
York city was the candidate OF Mr.. Platt.
Dr. Chauncey NJ. Depew. ex-Congressman
Henry G. Burleigh representing Warner
Miller). and others. and he was nominated for
Judge Of the Court Of Appeals by 531i out OF
732 delegates. Judge William Rumsey OF
Bath received 99 votes and John Sabine Smith
20. At the time the vote was take there were
22h absentees. Mr. Smith did not receive a
vote except from his friends in the New York
Republican County Committee. of which he is
President. While the speeches putting these
three gentlemen In nomination were going
Mr. Smith sat in the Convention at the head Of
the Eleventh Assembly district delegation.
He heard several severely critical remarks on
his conduct from the lips Of j. s. Lehmsier OF
the Twenty-thrd Assembly district who pre-
sented Mr.. Bartett's name to the Convention.
Mr.. Smith later on wanted an explanation
from Mr.. Lehmaier. but didn't get any salts
faction.
Mr.. Depew came to town this morning. and
got tangled up In throng Of New York Re-
publican county leaders just out OF bed land
by no means amiable. They had been up m ost
OF the night complaining bitterly because
they had not been consulted as to the nomina-
tion OF Mr.. bartlett They were on their way
to attend the caucus which Jake Patterson had
called for the purpose OF protesting against
Mr.. Bartlett. and the leaders poured their
complaints into Mr. Depew's ears. He had
q new Joke Tor every one OF them. and
by tho time they had gathered In a
vacant store their pumage was not quite 80
ruffled. but they were still determined to de-
feat Mr.. Bartlett II possible. Looking Forward
Bellamy was Secretary and nominated Mr.. |
Patterson as Chairman. Henry Grasse OF the
Twenty-seventh Assembly district. whose
name Mr.. Platt jocularly remarks rhymes
with sassy" said that the caucus had been
called for the purpose Of expressing a prefer
ence for a candidate for Judge OF the Court OF !
Appeals. lie thought that a candidate coming |
from New York city should be fifty and prop
erly presented to the Convention by his neigh
bors and political friends. He called for roll !

When this interesting little ceremony was
oyer it was t TIM to meander in the direction Of

decorations of bunting and banners. and. OF
course there was the customary. brass band.
many q wretehed delegate thought the fellows ts
with the big brass Instruments should be

The delegates were slow 10 getting to their
places. and meantime the hall became choked
with the smoke OF every kind OF a cigar made
from all kinds OF tobacco There was also
placid looking gentleman with pipe whose
fumes woul knock an ordinary man flat. The
ventilation In the hall was something after the
fashion OF a limekiln when you are inside OF
the kiln but the band played and the deco ra-
tons were gaudy and fair women in bright
gowns became radiant dots in the audience.
When about half the audience was seated
the tall and vigorous frame OF w Senator
Frank Hiscock was seen strolling leisurey and
gracefully up the main aisle toward a platform |
seat. The delegates cheered Mr. Hiscock until
he bowed his snowy head In appreciation OF

He was greeted with a cheer that ruffied the
