PLAIN SAILING FOR PLATT.



publican Atmosphere.
Saratoga, N. y, Sept. II. There is
every probability that by 6 O'Clock to-
night the Republican State conven-
tion will have adjourned after nomi-
Mating "a full State ticket and adopting
a platform. There Is no change in the
situation this morning. The slated
ticket stands and the harmony is only
slightly broken by the contest for
nomination for court of appeals judge,
in which contest Judge Martin OF Bling
hamton stands first. The remainder Of
the ticket consists Of denominations Of
all State officers.
"a Republican sky blue, a Republi
can atmosphere, too, said DIR. Depew
to Mr.. Platt,as they strolled into break
fast, and 1t was indeed beautiful
weather.
Even the State club members seemed
to fall into the popular feeling of har-
mony and ex-senator Sloan, ex-Sena-
tor Fassett, both said that outside Of
recommending 70 the committee on reso-
luton an enlargement of the State
committee, no other work would be
done, and no disturbances made and
so it is that there is hardly hutter
apparent, except in good natured fight
that the friends of Judge Pardon G.
Williams are making against Judge
| Martin.
AN OVATION 10 PLATr.
At 10. 20 O'Clock Mr.. Piatt entered the
| hall and there was an uproar that was
astonishing, men standing on the seats
and cheering vociferously, while the
band played = Hail 10 the Chief .
At precisely Il. 81 Charles W. Hack
EFT Of the State committee raped for
order and DR.. Carey OF the Episcopal
church offered prayer, praising God for
| the patriotism which he termed 1.-THE
foundation of pure politics, and there
fore OF the nation. +"
MORTON FOR PRESIDENT.
The convention has endorsed Cover
nor Morton for the Republican nomi-
nation for President by reclamation.
The convention then adjourned until
3 O'Clock, p. m.
Saratoga; N. Y, Sept. 17.-Ex-Sena-
! tor Platt's programme for the Republi-
can State convention was carried out
to-day to the letter. Co,ora A. Martin
of Binghamton, was nominated on the
second ballot for court of appeals
judge, and the ''old ticketp of SO was
named by reclamation, as follows:
Secretary of State--John Palmer of
Albany.
Comptroller James A. Roberts of
Buffalo.
State Decentralization b. Colyin
of Glens Falls.
Attorney General Theodore G. Han
cock of Syracuse.
State Engineer-C Campbell W. Adams
of Utica.
The committee on resolutions decid-
cd, bya vote of 81 to Z, not to take any
notice of the excise question. The
platform reaflirms adherence TO the pro
tective tariff policy, denounces the
Wilson tariff as "a tariff for deficit, y
accuses the national Dem6cratic adj
ministration of making false and mis-
leading statements of public expendi-
lures and claims that the dawn Of re.
turning prosperity in business is due
to the Republican victories Of last year.
This is the currency plank:
"We believe that the nations honor,
as we'll as the material interests of oui
citizens, demand the maintenance of 6
national currency, every dollar OF
which, whether in gold or silver Oh
paper notes, shall be of equal value
and equal debt-paying or purchasing
power, and we declare our unalterablt
opposition to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. Any imitation OF the
currency of the country by degrading
the standard Of value to the silver
basis is distinctly repudiated.
The remainder OF the platform refers
to State matters.
Warner Miller then took the floor an6
argued for plank for Sabbath obser'
vance. M
Hamilton Fish, chairman of the com
mittee on resolutions spoke briefly
against the resolution offered by Mr.
Miller. He said he regretted it's inter
lection into the convention and called
upon the delegates to uphold the com.
mittee, which had carefully considered
the whole matter. VIZ
Amid some confusion the Miller
resolution was carried by the eonven
ton unanimously.
Hamilton Fish then shut off further
amendments by moving the previous
question ON the adoption OF the plat
form as amended. 1t was carried, anG
then the platform went through with {
rush.
