SARATOGA, N. Y. Sept. T-Slate-
makers and slate-breakers are arriving
by every train. Strangers crowd the
streets and corridors of the hotels ex-
ctedly discussing the question who
should be nominated for Governor,
Lieutenant Governor and Judge of the
Court of Appeals, by the Republican
State Convention, which will meet here
at noon tomorrow.
Thousands more will arrive during the
afternoon and evening to join the army
of boomers. Mlholland will be here
with thousand shouters from New
York, Binghamton will send delega-
ton of 200 or 300 for Mayor Green, and
special train from Rochester will
bring 600 Aldridge men.
But brass bands nav toot for favor
ties, drums may roll and thunder for
this, that or the other candidate and
thousands of voices may sing the praises
of Fassett, Aldridge or Saxton; nobody
cares. The noise is merely a diversion
and doesn't count.
One man attracts more attention than
all the rest. All attention is on him.
He Is Thomas Collier Plat, the boss.
Others may make and break states, but
his slate will go through. This is Platt's
slate:
