EMPIRE STATE REPUBLICANS.
No Change in the Situation rs to the Excise
Law-Depew's straight Talk.

SARATOGA, Sept. 1.-THE hotels arc
crowded and all of the delegates to the Re
publican convention are here, but despite
that fact not condition has changed and
the ticket and platform as detailed ycster-
day are unchanged. The platform was
finished last evening and the state COM
mittee looked il over. II will not be
changed in its salient points, and the only
discussion seems to be as to whether the
question of Sunday liquor selling should
be touched upon. The leaders are as de-
termincd as ever to dodge the issue, but
others are as determined that it shall not
be lodged.
Chaunccy NJ. Dcpew talked straight to
the Republican editors ut their meeting
last night. Why" said Depcw. Il have
only been here "a few hours and I have
seen leaders opinions change like a straw
in a heavy wind. The theory of the Re
publican party should he clearly defined
on this excise question 1t should not
hesitate or shirk. 1t should come out
sluarcly one way or the other, either for
enforcement or against. II for IL you will
get the German vote, if against it you will
get the church and school vote, but il
neither for or against it you will disgust
the people, make them doubt our sincerity
and lose their entire vote
