Iunu DeleSuteS FROZEN Out.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 6.-An hour be-
fore the assembling Of the Republican
state convention in this city to-day,
there were several lines of political inte-
rest that were so sharply crossed as to
indicate that there would be a tangle
for the convention to unravei. There
were during the morning unadjusted
differences among the Republicans from
New York city. Buffalo wanted Haight
to be the appeals bench nominee. while
several Now Workers were anxious that
Judge Rumsey should be the nominee
and within this wheel were friends OF
Judge yann, of Syracuse. Meanwhile
the New York city folks had upon their
hands this problem: First, the adjust
ment OF their own differences, which,
broadly seemed to line up in this way:
Jacob Patterson and John Sabine Smith,
of the New York county committee
against Mr.. Thomas @. Platt and Ed
ward T. Bartlett Patterson pushed
Smith for the judgeship nomination,
and Mr.. Platt and not few OF tho state
committee held that Bartlett should be,
the nominee.
DIFFICULTIES TO OVERCOME
Secondly, the problem involved be-
sides the adjustment OF these difficult
ties, the satisfying of the Buffalo and
central New York people with other
places on the ticket. then the judgeship
nomination. For the place OF secretary
of state, the Albany folks appeared con-
tented and unopposed with the name of
John NJ. Palmer, OF Albany. An effort
was being made to gain Bufalo's con-
sent to take the comptrollership for
Webber, OF Buffalo, and give up the
judgeship nomination. Second among
these pre.Convention uncertainties was
Chauncey NJ. Depew, who was in and
out OF the council chamber Ex-senator
Hiscoce was likewise conspicuously in
evidence. The Yates House was busy
hive as the morning wore on towards
noon, when the 1872 delegates who con-
stitute the convention were called to
order in the Aihambra rink, where
John S. Kenyon, the state committee
secretary, had made as nearly all ar
rangements as possible for one man to
make for the convenience and comfort
Of seven hundred. The remark was fre-
quent that the coming convention would
be one OF delegates as well as OF leaders
and all would have voice in the open
floor in the shaping OF the ticket
THE CONVENTION MEETS
Chairman Brookfeid, OF the state
committee, organized the convention.
Prayer was offered, the roll was called,
and Patrick w. Cullinan, OF 0swego,
was presented as temporary chairman.
In his address to the convention Mr..
Cullinan canvassed the achievements OF
the Republican party, referred to the
administration 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 to nation
before the eyes of the world. The as
sumption OF state control by the Demo-
Gratis in 1891 was characterized as "the
theft OF state and crime against the
people"
Mr.. Cullinan then bluntly charged
Judge Maynard with the work OF its
ultimate elimination, and called upon
the convention and hepeople to rebuke
the act After a comparison Of steward.
ship the speech closed with canvass OF
state issues. When in his speech Mr..
Cullinan referred to the Mckinley bill
there was rattle OF hand-clappings
that died away and was renewed more
vociforously and at length became signi-
6cant, and as the cheers finally subsidized
one delegate demanded three cheers for
Mckinley, while another shouted, land
he will be our next President, too"
The usual committees having been ap-
pointed the convention then took re.
cess till $3.50 p. M.
DEPEw's SPEECH.
The convention being re-assembled at
o'clock Hon. Chauucey NJ. Depew

demanded that the secretary OF state,
