Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE state
republican convention closed it's session
tonight after following the work map
ped out by its leaders. 1t named this
ticket for representation to the people
of this state in November next:
For secretary of state, John Palmer
of Albany; comptroller James e. Rob

vim of Warren; state engineer, c. w.
Adams Of Oneida attorney general, f.
E. Hancock of Onondaga; judge of the
court of appeals, Colonel Ora e. Mar
tin Of Broom
The platform requires the enforce
ment of the Sunday liquor law and the
preservation of the Sabbath. 1t scores
the democratic administration for fail
| ing to defend the rights of American
citizens resident or travelling in for
eign countries and for permitting for
eign countries to encroach on the west
ern hemisphere. The tariff and the
handling of the deficiency question by
the last democratic congress receives
condemnation. A sound and stable cur
! rency, giving the people dollars worth
for dollar. The return of prosperity
is hailed as resulting in the election of
republican congress, giving conf
dence to the people in the assurance
that their further tariff tinkering will
| be impossible. The ignorance and I'M
wise policy of the democrats in passing
| unconstitutional income tax is referred
to and favorable record of the republic
ans in congress in their opposition to
that law.
Governor Morton's wise and patriot
| ic administration is endorsed, and his
candidacy for president formally
launched.
Action on enlargement of the state
| committee was tabled and local Sunday
option for counties was also killed.
