Hamilton Fish was made chairman OF

A resolution was received from the
Municipal Labor congress of New York
asking for labor plank.
Charles W. Bowen of New York intro
duced this resolution:
q 1.-The representatives of New York in

dorse the admi n :stration of Governor Levi
?. Morton and expires the nope that his
name may be presented to the National
Republican convention of 1896 as the
choice of the Republican representatives
of the Empire state for first place on the
presidential ticket"
The resolution was adopted by accia-
nation amid great applause.
The committee on contested seats are
in meeting and hearing the contest in
the first Erie district. 1t has been given
out that Congressman Mahoney's delega-
ton will be seated. At 2:30 o'clock an
informal meeting of the Erie county dele
cation was held and it was determined
the entire delegation would bolt if such
action was taken. Not only was this de-
termined, but Comptroller Roberts an
nounoeu he would withdraw his name as
candidate if the thing occurred, and
thus break the slate.
The state Republican convention closed
it's session tonight after following closely
the work mapped outsby Its leaders. 1t
named this ticket for representation to
the people of this state in November
next:
For secretary OF state, John Palmer,
Albany.
Comptroller, James Z. Roberts of Erie.
State treasurer, A. b. GOWN OF warren.
State engineer, G. W. Adyas OF Oneida.
Attorney general, L. E. Hancock of
Oneida.
Judge of the court of appeals, Colonel
Ora E. Matin OF Broome.
The platform demands enforcement OF
the Sunday liquor laws and the preserva-
ton OF tho Sabbath. 1t scores the Demo-
fend the rights of American citizens,
resident or travelling in foreign countries,
and for permitting foreign countries to
encroach on the western hemisphere.
The tariff and the handling Of the de-
ficienoy question by the last DEMOCRATIC
congress receive condemnation. A sound
and stable currency, giving the people
dollars worth for q ollar, is demanded.
The return Of prosperity Is hailed as re-
sulting from the election OF Republican
congress. giving confidence to the people
in the assurance that their further tariff
tinkerng will be impossible. The ignor-
ance and unwise policy of the Democrats
in passing an unconstitutional income
tax is referred to and the favorable record
of the Republicans in congress in their
opposition to that law.
Governor Morton's wise and patriotic
ad mi nistration IS endorsed and his can
didaoy for president formally launched.
The dangers to the people of the return
OF the Dem ocratic party to power in this
state are portrayed, asserting that the
same gentlemen who have been repudi-
ated by the voters are still in charge OF
the affairs of the Democracy in this
state and their return to power will mean
but a repetition OF the old outrages. The
Rames ballot reform law is pointed to IS
the best enactment for ballot reform yet
passed in this state. The platform
further sets forth that the demands of
the people in the city of New York have
been granted In reform legislation.
That it was close following of the
work mapped oIt is evident from the
TACT that security of the state ticket was
made possible by the vote of one man.
When the morning sun broke over Sar-
atoga it saw such iron-bound plans for
the convention that ii was conceded that
there would be no friction and that the
plans of the state committee could be
carried out.
After the opening session there ap-
peared on the horizon cloud of dscon-
tent that grew so rapidly that at o. clock
the fate of the state officers seemed to be
sealed against the denomination. The
trouble arose over the contest for seats in
the First district, and hinged on the seat
ing of the contesting delegation, headed
by Congressman Mahany.
With everything apparently running
smoothly, the leaders were suddenly con-
fronted with the statement made by State
Committeeman George Urban, jr., and
Senator Parsons that if the Mahany del
egation was seated. the Erie county dele.
CATION would leave the convention, and
Mr.. Roberts name would be withdrawn
from the convention. thus breaking the
slate. When the convention met the
committee reported against Mahany. 1t
was learned that the vote was 16 against
and Is for, the deciding vote having been
cast Dy Mr. wheeler OF Utca. mus was
the catastrophe averted.
The rext nearest approach to break
in the plans came when Warner Miller
introduced his resolution for the protec-
tion of the American Sabbath and the
carrying out of the excise laws. The lead
ers who had proclaimed against any
excise action accepted the situation and
the result was that all of the friction
ceased.
Action on the enlargement of the state
committee was tabled. and local Sunday
options Tor counties was also killed.
