Attorney general, Theodore C. Ham
cock, of Syracuse.
State engineer, Campbell w. Adams,

The platform, in substance, will
affirm these principles:
Congratulating the Republican
party upon the dawn of prosperity
in the country and state, due to the
confidence inspired in the people by
the return to power of a Republican
congress, congratulating the wage
earners, the sugar planters, the ag-
riculturists and the business men
that the conditions are such that the
Republican party can fulfill it's
pledges Of protection to American
industries; condemning the policy
OF the Democratic administration in
declining to act decisively' on the
Armenian and Chinese questions, for
inaction on questions of financial
policy, it's refusal to aid the old SOL
dier and its disregard of civil serv-
ice law; commencing the proposed
constitutional amendment to bond
the state for $4,000, 900 to enlarge and
improve the canals; indorsing the
administration Of Gov Levi P. Nor
ton; commencing the last legislature
In the attempt to free the great city
OF New York from the burden of
rule by the Democratic ring; the ad-
dEt1onal tax on sugar, and declaring
that the present tariff system in
augurated by Democrats is a men
ace and detriment to the country: ia
Vor1ng an honest dollar and oppos-
ing any effort to coin silver freely
or lower the currency standard and
faVor1ng an International agree
ment which will result in the use of
both gold and silver as an interna-
tlonal circulating medium.
EXCISE CLOUD.
Tonight on the horizon there is a.
sulien-looking cloud marked tex
c1se. Edward Lauterbach. Mr..
Platt, Thurlow Weed Barnes, Lou
Payne, Frank Hiscock, Frank Hem
bricks, Warner Miller and Charles
w. Hackett are trying to stay the
anticipated tumult. New York,
Kings and Erie are the three coun-
ties where the troublesome cry is
coming from. AS yet the representa-
ton from these places is small and
the full delegations will not be here
until tomorrow, so that the action to
be taken cannot be determined. Mr..
Platt is inclined to believe that an
affirmation for the protection of the
American Sabbath and yet favoring
more liberal excise laws in some way,
is the proper course. 1t does not seem
possible to frame a resolution that
will please both the Sabbatarians
and the liquor dealers and their
friends. That somebody from one
of the three counties named will in
troduce a, local option resolution is
fairly certain. The only other trou-
blesome question before the leaders
is the sentiment being agitated in
favor of an enlarged state commit
tee, and those who lead the agitating
forces are inclined tonight to be-
lieve that nothing will be done for
them. They discovered today that 1t
was the design of the Platt forces
to prevent the agitation reaching
the convention by
FORBIDDING ANY DEBATE
on the introduction of resolutions,
and also upon the platform when
reported to the convention. They
have decided to make a fight in the
open convention by nominating Hon.
J. Sloat Fassett for temporary chair
man. The convention as planned
