arose. Nearly everybody was astir early
from the announcementthat there would
be Il meeting Of the state committee, at
which the New York contests would be
decided, and kept alive the interest, i'll
addition to the lively canvass for office
being made by the candidates for posi-
tons on the state ticket. There was no
abatement III activity in this latter direc-
ton, and instead Of decreasing the num-
Der of candidates seemed to increase.

state committee seemed to be the gen.
eral Mecca, and the influence Of the
leaders was sought by the friends Of the
candidates to help their position. All
morning emissaries came and Went, u
No Hints of n Slate
were thrown out, and the situation was
unchanged except that Judge Brown Of
Orange set a lively pace for the nomi-
nation Of Judge Of the court Of appeals.
The throngs Of delegates and boomers
crushed and damned through the hotel
corridors and along the principal thor
oughfares talking excise and candidates.
When it got towards II o'clock those
who were to be alternates and spectators
began to o towards the convention
hall, wisely enough, for the hall will
not seat all Of the vast crowd hat is
now on the ground. The Alhambra
rink presented Il picturesque appearance.
From the center Of the roof, long
steamers of red, white and blue
stretched to every corner of the big hall,
and every streamer bore a dozen or more
American flags. In the center hung Il
monster lantern of American flags.
Festoons Of red, white and blue We're
on each side Of the stage and on
each side of the door at the real.
Red, white and blue covered the rail Of
the gallery in the rear, and red, white
and blue was hung over the footlights
on the stage.
Would Increase the COMMITTEES.

eentered about the Yates House where
