test for Second PIace-slxth Annual
Convention Of the Young Mems League,
Of New York.
SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept 1s.-The Re
publican state convention convened here
this morning, and unless the hard work
being done by candidates has very great
effect on the situation the Republican
state ticket will read like this; For gov
eruor, Levi p. Morton; for lieutenant gov
ernor, Francis Hendricks for judge of the
court Of appeals, Albert s. Haight
As to Mr.. Morton's chances the sentiment
seems not bit changed by the active
strife for lieutenant governor, and Mr.
Platt, who is himself manager for the
Morton BOOM is perfectly confident and
smiling
He said this morning: THE arrival Of
many delegations this morning has only
served to strengthen the cause OF Mr..
Morton. Many of the leaders of delega-
tions not instructed for Mr. Morton have
assured me of their support" Asked II
he had any preference of lieutenant gov
ernor, he said II have none, and will
not interfere with 1t in any way"
There is not much jubilation in Mr..
Fassett's quarters, although he Is still a
candidate for governor and will be placed
in nomination before the convention.
Messrs. Woodford, Butterfeld and Rus
sell are still in the fray, and say they in
tend TO stay until q nomination is made.
Things have takenea very different turn
for those interested in the candidacy of
the various men for lieutenant governor.
: Francis Hendricks, of Syracuse, has an
nounced that he is candidate for the
! office. 1t is almost certain at this time
that Hendricks will be the nominee foI
lieutenant governor It is said the booms

simply run to keep Mr.. Saxton from re
| ceving too many votes
For Lieutenant governor, Sen ator Cog
! geshall says he has Oneida with 16 OF
sego, s; Schoharie, 7; Madison, g. and part
| of Cortland, some from Kings and some

ant governor were announced Gorton W

tricts The Milholland contest was es
