New YoRK, Sept 29.-The Democratic
state committee met last night in this city
to hear the report of the committee ap-
pointed to notify the nominees OF the re-
cent Buffalo state convention. There was

by proxy, but Senator Hill, who surprised
every one by appearing Mt recent meet
Ing Of the committee with q proxy, and
then made sensational speeches in behalf
of John Boyd Thacher the gubernatorlal
nominee, was not present this time. The
committee represented that Mr.. Thacher
had refused to accept the nomination for
governor, and that Judge Titus had ac-
cepted the nomination for supreme Jus
tice, and that Wilbur f. Porter, the nomi
nee for lieutenant governor, had placed
himself in tho hands of the committee.
The meeting of the committee had been
delayed an hour by caucuses, so when tho
report was made there was little delay in
the proceedings. In these caucuses 1t had
agreed that the men to be named In place
Of Mr.. Thacher should be W. f. Porter,
the nominee for lieutenant governor, and
In his place Fred G. Schraub, of Lewis
county, should be named for lieutenant

adopted, asked Senator Grady to take the

sented the name of Judge Porter for first

the roll must be called.
Mr.. Purroy asked: "How are we to
know how Mr.. Porter stands on the plat

heard his views on the PLATFORM To this
Mr.. Danforth replied: II am assured by
the state committeeman from Judge
Porters district that he is in full accord
with the candidates and tho platform of
the Chicago convention, and am also in
formed by Mr.. St. John that he has u tele-
gram from Judge Porter to that effect''
The nomination was made unanimous,
as was that of Mr.. Schraub for lieutenant
governor.
Mr.. Schraub came before the committee
and made short speech pledging himself
to the Chicago platform and ticket, and
accepted the nomination.
Chairman Danforth had been looked
upon Us certain to be named for gov
ernor, and had given his consent con-
ditioned upon being permitted to retain
the craftsmanship of the state committee.

ter what may have been your politics In
the past, whether you would not prefer to
have that tin plate factory in your county
and In your state than to have 1t In Wales.
1t only illustrates what has been said
thousands Of times by the statesmen of
the past and by the leaders of the present,
that the more factories you can have in
any community the better will be the gen.
eral business conditions and the better
will be the market for the farmer.
''Your presence here indicates that you
have not lost interest in the Republican
principles and that you are quite as much
concerned, II not moro concerned, In their
triumph this year than you have been be-
fore. l am glad to be assured that have
your warm and hearty sympathy and sup
port, as have always had in the years Of
the past"
Another delegation that called on Major
Mckinley were the members Of the Afri-
can M. f. conference In session at Cleve-
land. Bishop Arnott delivered an address,
to which the candidate replied rs follows:
II appreciate the kind words, the earn
est words, the eloquent words spoken by
Bishop Arnott. They move my soul.
They inspire me with confidence. I wish
his voice and his patriotic sentiments, SO
we'll expressed, might have been heard by
thousands, rather than by the few hun
dred gathered about me today. am glad
to meet the ministers Of the Africo- Meth
odist Episcopal church. That you should
have set aside the business of your annual
conference long enough. to pay me visit
is IN honor which greatly appreciate
and shall always remember.
SIT Is matchless civilization in which
we live, civilization that recognizes the
common and universal brotherhood of
man. 1t is glorious constitution, the
American constitution under which we
live, that secures to every one under our
flag utter freedom of religious doctrine
and privilege and belief, constitut tion
that recognizes neither creed, nor color,
nor race, nor nationality, nor aste, nor
classes but protects and defends oil alike,
and accords to each civil and religious
liberty.
"The history of your race is one of Won
derful progress under the most trying and
difficult circumstances. You have demon
strated yoN patience and patriotism,
courage and intelligence, and your will
ingness to sacrifice for your country and
sustain it's honor at all times and under
all circumstances. You have made marked
and commendable strides in the field of
education and learning. Not only have
you been looking carefully after the intel
lectual, but you have not NEGLECTED the
moral condition of your race. pam glad
to note the advancement of any organiza-
ton, which has for its object the elevation
of mankind and the improvement and
betterment of our citizenship. You and
the race to which you belong have my
hearty ongralulations upon the progress
you have already made, and my prayer for
still greater progress in the future"

Mr.. ED1TOR:-pve read in the DAILY
REPUBLICAN at different times your good
advice to the Republican factions sug-
costing compromise in State, county and
city and fully agree with you. votalked
with a great many and they all would
like to see one and only one Republican
ticket In the field from Governor down,
If the Addicks faction will not compro-
mise; the Higgins faction will cover
themselves all over with glory In State
and nation if they retire And vice versa,
of course If no compromise be effected
and the State lost, don't see how either
of these gentlemen can ask the support
of us hereafter.
All good Republicans regardless of fac.
tions-and great many Dcmocrats-will
deplore and forever condemn all who are
engaged in these factional chickering's, es-
pecially if the electoral vote of this State
would be needed to elect those staunch
friends of the working man-McKinley
and Hobart. Gentlemen, stop before it is
too late and consider the good of our
party. United we stand, divided we fall.
We want an honest dollar and chance to
earn it.
