SYRACUSE, n. Y, Oct. 6. -Seldom has
state convention assembled i'll regent
years in New York with so little of slate
making in advance as. did that of the
Republicans to-day. The convention be-
gan its work with no programme
mapped out for it and no 'slate"oar-
ranged by party bosses for its formal
ratification. As the delegates assem-
bled i'll the AlhaHibra, there was no one
among them who would venture 10 pre-
diet what the outcome OF their delibera-
lions would be, or where the numberleSs
conferences and combinations were to
land the score of asDirants for places on
the state ticket. No one mans hand
was shaping the results, for no one man
could stem the strong current OF indie
pendence and free action that runs
among the delegates. The determine
ton to have no ''slate" candidates and
to settle upon no one for any place uD-
til the whole state has been heard from
is felt everywhere, and those VINO have
fered for their indiscretion.
In the convention hall. the entrance
of Mr.. Depew, Thomas c. Plat and
Frank Hiscoek called forth cheers.
Patrick w. CIllnan. of Oswego, was
presented as temporary chairman. In
his address to the convention MIR. Cnl-
Imam canYaSSed the achievements OF the
Republican party, referred TO the ad-
ministratiOn OF President Harrison,
illuminated by the genius of Blaine.
as the golden age OF the republic" He
then spoke of the present spectacle at
Washington as humiliating the nation
before the
Eyes OF THE WORLD.
The assumption. of state control by
Democrats in 1891 was characterized as
The theft OF state and a crime against
the people" Mr.. Cullinan then bluHtly
charged Judge Maynard with the work
OF its ultimate elimination, and called
upon the convention and the people to
rebuke the act. After a comparison OF
steWardShips, the speech closed with
canvass of state issues.
When in his speech Mr.. Cullinan re-
ferred to the Mckinley bill, there was
rattle of handclapping that died away
ana was renewed again, and at length
became significant, and, as the cheers
ed three cheers for Mckinley, while
another shouted, And he'll be our next
president. too" Renewed cheers greeted
this declaration.
The usual committees having been
appointed, the convention took a recess
until $3.50 p. III.
The convention being reassembled at
at O'clock, Hon. c. NJ. Depew spoke
ten minutes i'll response to yells from
the convention. He referred 10 the re-
sumption of labor and the closed fac
tories; but" he added, wages are
cut."
He declared that in one year of Dem
Ocratic rule labor had lost in wages
large percentage of the benefits that had
been assured to them i'll twenty-five
years Of Republican administration.
He demanded that the ship of states
now drifting on the rocks of bank
ruptcy and distress, be entrusted to the
Republican crew again for safe pilot
age.

was reported for PERMANENT chairman,
and after his speech nominations for
court of appeals Judgships were first
made, these names being presented

ward L. Bartlett, of New York, and
john Sabine Smith.

BARTLETT NOMINATION,
which was the choice of Mr. Plat as

son for Smith and the disposition of the
county for RumSey. A ballot was had,
and Mr.. Bartlett was chosen by this
vote: Bartlett, $3.50; Rumsey. 81;
Smith, 80.
The committee on resolutions next
presented
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 per
sonal machine"
All were then invited to JOIN with the
Republican party to effect a reform.
Five men constitute the Democratic
machine and seek the mastery of the
commonwealth, runs the platform, and
then follows recitation of Judge May
nard's action in the election of 1891, and
