ventiOn Until Today.
During the recess of the New York state
republican convention at Saratoga yester-
day afte, noon the committee on contested
seats decided to let the roll Of delegates
stand as read in the preliminary session
of the convention. This barred out Warner
Miller In the Herkimer district and when
the convention reassembled the report was
presented
Deputy Attorney General Hasbrouck ask
ed for division of the question and a
separate vote on the Oneida county case.
Then, in the center OF the hail. from the
Herkimer county seats. came Warner Mil
Ter His face was full and his lips trem-
Died as from parts of the hall came cheers
and from other parts Kisses and yells of
derision Get out; you don't belong here"
You are a traitor etc, came cries from
the galleries. Pandemonium arose and the
chairman's gavel was almost useless to
queu it.
Down in the front Thomas C. PIatt, his
brows knitted, started to get to his feet.
In an instant there was a calm, and in his
quiet voice he was heard to say: MIR.
Chairman, l hope and l move that the
gentleman be heard
Organization and differentiation join
ell in the applause that followed, and the
gavel Of the chairman finally succeeded IN
restoring order.
MIR Miller then began to speak His re-
marks were dignified and not incendiary.
His declaration of republicanisnl, despite
such treatment as might be accorded him,
brought forth a storm of applause and
his declaration Of loyalty to the party
was similarly received.
Mr.. Hasbrouck's motion to divide the
question was defeated by viva voce vote,
and then the crowd paused in its hurrah-
ing to see the result.
MIR. Miller arose, and in a composed man
ner walked down the aisle to the spec
tators seats. There was hardly a sound
either from the sEeerers or the cheerers
1t was a peculiar change from the earlier
scene of riot and disorder.
When quiet was restored the committee
on permanent organization reported Gen
eral Stewart l.. Woodford as the permanent
charm an and he assumed the chair and
made speech on the issues of the CAM
patgn
The Resolutions.
At the conclusion of Mr. Woodford,s
speech there was much applause, after
which he called for the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions. Chairman Qugg of
New York read the report, and the plat
form as adopted by the committee was in
dorsed by the convention without debate.
The platform congratulates the republi-
cans OF the country on the distinctness
of the issue by which in the present cam
paign the great political parties are di-
vided. 1t declares that the attempt to
make an ounce of gold equal in value to
only sixteen ounces of silver, when it is
now worth thirty ounces, Is hopeless and
absurd, and that the mere announcement
of the success of the democratic ticket
would send gold at once to a premium,
drive debtors into cruel liquidation and
cause further withdrawal of capital from
investment and the further suspension of
industry.
The platform next declares that a tariff
must be enacted which will provide rev.
enues sufficient to meet the ordinary and
necessary expenses of the government, and
so adjusted as to place American labor.

The chair then called for the nomination
of candidates.
