THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
Cranky Prediction by Members of the
ID. o.. p

Syracuse, N. Y. Oct. 6.-The in
dications before the assembling of
the Republican state convention are
that there will be a good deal of
tangle to straighten out. Buffalo
wanted Haigh nominated for judge
of court of appeals; New York City
wanted Judge Ramsey, Syracuse
wanted Judge Vann. The New York
City folks are at odds among them
selves. Jacob Patterson wanted
John Sabine Smith for the judgeship.
Tom Platt wanted e. T. Bartlett.
John NJ. Palmer, Albany, seemed I'M
opposed for secretary of state, but
Buffalo and Central New York are
at odds over the other officers An
effort will be made to have Buffalo
accept the comptrollership for Web
Der of that city. Chauncey Depew
and ex-senator Plat and ex-senator
Hlscock were conspicuous in prelim-
mary consultations. P w Guilt
mon, Oswego, was chosen temporary
chairman. In his speech of accept
ance he contrasted the administration
OF Harrison win the present admins
tration to the detriment of the lat
ter. The speakers reference to the
Mckinley bill brought out significant
rounds of applause and the great
Ohioan was given three cheers,
While one delegate shouted, he'll be
appointment of usual committees,
recess was taken till $50 pm
Upon reassembling, Hon. c. K De
pew spoke. He referred to the re-
sumption of labor and the closed fac
| tories. But" he added. wages are
cut" He declared that in one year of
Democratic rule labor had lost in
wages a large percentage of the ben
eft assured to them in twenty-five
years Of Republican administration.
He demanded that the ship of state
now drifting on the rocks of bank
ruptcy and distress be entrusted to
the Republican crew again for safe pi-
lotage.
Judge Frank Brundage, of Erie
county, was reported for permanent
chairman, and after his speech nomi-
nations for the court of appeals judge
| ship were first made, these names be-
ing presented: Judge William Rumsey,
| of Bath; Edward T. Bartlett, of New
York, and John Sabine Smith A bal
lot was had and Bartlett chosen by
this vote: Bartlett, 53S1a; Rumsey, 81;
Smith, so.
The committee on resolutions next
presented its report. The platform
starts out with this sentence: 1.-The
time has come to rescue the state OF
| New York from the despotic control of
an utterly selfish and personal ma
chine. All are invited to Join the Re
publican party to effect reform" Then
follows the recitation of Judge
| Maynard'S action in the election
of 1891, and a denunciation of
what he did and what his
party were enabled to do as the re-
suit. His re-appointment and the
subsequent legislation in the Demo-
cratic House and Senate were ana
USED and condemned. Among its
pledges the platform promises to
prevent the prostitution of the bal
lot; the burglary OF the ballot box
and the larceny of election returns
The principles of the Minneapolis
platform were reendorsed and the
present industrial uncertainty attri-
buted to the fear of an indiscrimi-
nate reduction of tariff duties now
in progress at washington.

bodied in a clause-"Commendi the
Republican senators and representa-
tives in Congress for adherence tc
