Saratoga, N. Y, Sept 1.-THE Re-
| publican state convention completed its
| work In less than eight hours today.
nominating the state ticket of 1893 and
adding Celora f.. Martin. of Bingham
ton, for associate justice of the court
of appeals, In place of Judge Francis
NJ. Finch. who will shortly be retired
by reaching the age limit. The prear-
ranged programme was carried out
with remarkable celebrity and smooth
hess. Everything that Thomas Z. Platt
predicted would be done last Saturday
| was done today. and. except for few
| breezy moments, the proceedings We're
| hacking in excitement.
| The ticket named Is as follows: For
judge of the court of appeals, Celora
+. Martin, of Broome; for secretary of
state. John NJ. Palmer. of Albany: for
| comptroller. James A. Roberts. of Erie:
| for treasurer. A. Il. Colvin. of Warren:
| for attorney general. Theodore +. Han
cock, OF Onondago; for state engineer.
! Campbell W. Adams. of Oneida.
| Two ballots We're necessary before
Judge Martin was named. Jesse John
son, Of Brooklyn, and Pardon c. Will
liams, OF Watertown, gave Mr. Platts
| candidate quite close fight for the
nomination.
When Broome county won, the dele
gates lost all ambition to break the
slate, and the old state ticket of 1893
was nominated by acclamation on a
single ballot. The platform, with the
excise plank omitted was adopted and
| an amendment in favor of the MAIN
tenance of the Sunday laws offered by
| Warner Miller, was tackled on. Strong
efforts We're made for liberal resolu-
tions on excise and home rule, but they
We're defeated. and the convention went
| to the other extreme and placed the
| party on record as. favoring the en-
| forcement of Sunday laws in the inter-
est of labor and morality.
The Chairman's Address.
The convention was called to or
der at 1880 by Chairman Hackett
James s. Sherman, Of Oneida. was
made temporary chairman and made a
short speech, in the course of which
| he said.
| The efforts of Republican officials to
| enforce the excise laws, enacted by Demo-
| cratic mandate as a means only of ma
chine discipline, call forth vehement de-
| nunc.ation by Democratic leaders and
press by whom anarchistic defiance is ad-
| vised.
The cry reaches US from Elm.ra,
couched in the misleading title of Per
sonal Liberty" Stripped of It's preten-
t.ous dress, It means violation of laws
