SYRACUSE, Oct. 5.-Renders OF THE SUN may
recall the last Republican State Convention
held in Albany shortly before the meeting OF
the National Convention In Minneapolis. A
worry famous willapus- wallopus was developed
there in the person OF Naval Oflicer Theodore
B. Willis He meant we'll. no doubt, but he
only ran his nut-brown hair against n stone
wall and got 1t tousled. In other conven-
tions that the Republican party has had
in the state before that there were
other willipus- wallopuses. but the party
has been blessed with only one Wilt
pus walapus at one and the same time.
Now it is known all over town that thcre are
two Of these creatures ambling through the
corridors Of tho Yates House and buttonholng
| delegates In the Vanderbilt and the Globe. 1t
| Is difficult to say which Is the bigger willipus-
wallopus. exPolice Justice Jake Patterson OF
| Harlem. Chairman OF the Republican Execu-
tive Committee Of New York county. or John
Sabine Smith. President OF that committee and
President the Republican County Committee.
| In other words. 1t may be explained that
Jake" Patterson this morning hid for the
moment his ambition to tackle Timothy Dry
| Dollar Sullivan in the Seventh Senate district
| and sprung q boom for Mr. Smith for the nom-
| ination for Judge OF the Court OF Appeals. At
| first 1t was not believed that he was In
earnest. but Senator Edmund O'Connor
OF Binehamton. Commodore vedder Of
Elliottve. and others. quickly learned
that Mr.. Smith had prevailed upon
Mr.. Patterson to advance him as
candidate for this nomination. Chairman
| William Brookfleld OF the State Committee
and a member OF the Republican and Union
| League clubs OF New York. also ascertained
| that Patterson and Smith were serious.
| Neither Patterson nor Smith. who arrived
| later in the day. could give any reasons for
| Mr.. Smiths claims. further than that neither
| had been consulted concerning the nomination
| OF Edward T. Bartlett. ex-President OF the
| Republican Club. and. in fact. one Of the inn
mediate predecessors OF Mr.. Smith In that
| place.
There was fine old time when this situa-
ton dawned on ex-senator Platt ex-Con-
| gressman Henry G. Burleigh Of Whitehall. who
represents Warner Miller here: James A.
Blanchard. a warm friend Of Mr.. Bartlett and
| Chairman Brookneld. The country delegates
at first determined to let the New Workers
| settle the quarrel themselves. Mr.. Platt must
be practically considered New York city
man. He is resident Of Tioga county. but
he is In New York city 3G0 days out Of the
1866. The statesmen from the country there
fore accept Mr.. Plntt to be q city man.

this morning. hungry asa wolf. and his nat:
Hral good hpmor was rufled when he heard Of
