PLEASED WITH THE TICKET.

SARATOGA NOMINATIONS.

THE POINTS OF STRENGTH OF Mr.. NORTON
SENATOR sAXToN AND JUDGE HAIGHr-
VIEWS OF PROMINENT REPUBLICANS.
II is safe to say that the Republicans OF New
York City will furnish no kickers, boilers OF
malcontents to aid the Democratic party OF the
State this fall. All shades, classes and kinds OF
Republicans here have determined to rally az
one man to the support of the ticket nominated
at Saratoga There was only one sentiment ex'
pressed here yesterday by honest and earnest
Republicans and that was that the nominations
of Morton. Saxton and Haight are bound to win.

HIGH PRAISE FOR MIR. sAXTON.
The nomination Of Charles T. Saxton for Lieu

city as a wise and popular AS the father
Of ballot-reform legislation. and as the friend OK
every progressive public measure during his long
service as legislator he especially appeals to
the reform element of the State and will give
strength TO the ticket. In comparison with the
nroeont Democratic Lieutenant-Governor Mr..
Saxton II was felt, presents most refreshing
contrast.
The choice Of Judge Haight for the Court OF
Appeals Bench. after twenty-five years OF faith-
full and able service as jurist in his county,,

The result has been a disappointment to both our
friends in some directions. and TO our enemies.
There are. however, no rows to be settled nor

The selection Of Senator Saxton, In my JudS"

character and sound sense of this convention.

Morton's name to the Convention. was seen at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel last evening after his
return from Saratoga.

constituents regard our work at Saratoga as
most satisfactory. The amount OF enthusiasm
which has already been aroused Is quite aston
ishing and shows that the ticket is going to re-

ticket was presented which more truly ap-
