WILL BE NO CONTEST
NEW YORK REPUBLICANS HAVE
THEIR STATE TICKET SELECTED.
Only One Matter Likely to-. Worry
Convention, and that Is the
Troublesome Excise Question.

SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept. 1.-THE ticket
which will be put in the field by the State
Republican convention will be:
For Judge of the Court of Appeals-CE-
LORA E. MARTIN, of Binghamton-
For Secretary of State-JOHN PALMER,
CcntroIier-JAMEs A. ROBERTS. of BUT
falo.
of Glens Mills.
COCK, of Syracuse
State Engineer-CAMPBELL w. ADAMS,
of Utica.
The pletform in substance will affirm
these principles: Congratulating the Repub-
lican party upon the dawn of prosperity in
the country and State due to the confidence
inspired in the people by the return to
power of a Republican Congress: consra;-
ulating the wage earners, the sugar plant
ers, the agriculturists and the business men
that the conditions are such that the Re-
publican party can fulfill it's pledges of
protection to American industries; condemn
ing the policy of the Democratic admin
istration in declining to act decisvely on
the South American and Chinese questions; !;
for its inaction on questions of financial
policy; its refusal to aid the old soldier
and its disregard of civil service laws;
commenting the proposed constitutional
to enlarge and improve the canals; indors-
ing the administration of Governor Levi
p. Morton; commencing the last Legislature
New York from the burden of rule by the
Democratic ring; protesting against free
wool, the additional tax on sugar and de-
claring that the present tariff system H.
augurated by Democrats is menace and
detriment to the country; favoring an hoa-
est dollar and opposing any effort to coin
freely or lower the currency standard and
mt xxf,f
will result in the use of both gold and
silver as an international circulating me
dunn.
Tonight on the horizon there is sullen-
looking cloud marked Excise" Mr.. Ed
ward Lauterbach, Mr.. Platt. Thurlow
Tyne Waeoer Franz Ma scock
Charles w. Hackett are trying TO stay the
anticipated tumult New York, Kings and
Erie are the three counties where the
representation from these places is small
and the full delegations will not be hero
until tomorrow, SO that the action likely
to be taken cannot be determined Mr.
Platt is inclined to believe that an affirma-
ton for the protection of the American Sab
bath and yet favorng more liberal excise
laws in some way is the proper course 1t
does not seem possible to frame a resolu-
ton that will please both the Sabbatafians
and the liquor dealers and their friends
That somebody from one of the three coun-
ties named will introduce local option res
olution is fairly certain.
The only other troublesome question be-
fore the leaders is the sentiment being agi-
tated in favor Of an enlarged State com
mittee, and those who lead the agitating
forces are inclined tonight to believe that
nothing will be done for them. They dis
covered to-day that 1t was the design Of
the Platt forces to prevent the agitation
reaching the convention by forbidding any
debate on the introduction of resolutions
and also upon the platform when reported
to the convention. They have decided TO
make a fight in the open convention bv
nominating Hon. j. Sloat Fassett for tenn
porary chairman. The convention, as
planned, will meet at noon and Congress
man Sherman will be made temporary
permanent chairman, and Edward Lauter-
bach, of New York, chairman Of the com
mittee resolutions.
From O'Clock till nearly IL tonight the
party leaders struggled with the excise
question. There were present Messrs. Platt
Lexow, Thurlow w. Barnes, Hiscock, Hem
bricks, Hackett. Lauterbach, Green, Ken
yon, Miller, sloane and few Of the minor
lights. Mayor Green, of Binghamton. said
that he was for plank in the platform
that would declare against the sale of
for allowing the sale of liquor on Sunday
with certain regulations. Mr.. Platt said: II
believe il is entirely legislative matter. but
am not prepared TO say how 1t shall BE-
handled
Close to midnight, after consultation with
almost half the delegates present, the
leaders of the party determined that they
would avoid the question of excise alto
gether ard not make recommendation I'm
do 80 by the Introduction OF such resolu-
