An Address TO the Voters or the STATE.
1t was the most imposing meeting of the Re
publican State in years, 1t was hold
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday afternoon,
and the doors were thrown wide open, and all
were welcome to attend-al sorts and con-
ditions of Republicans, Democrats and all handn,
There was nothing secret, nothing hidden,
and no lodging. There was moro vim and snap
to this meeting Of the Republican State Com
mittee than has been seen at a similar meeting
In New York State In a generation. All the war
riors, young and old, were on hand. All were
grim and determined. The up-country Republi-
cans were heartily in accord with their brethreD
of Greater New York.
Tho committee had met to nominate q Chico
Judge OF the Court Of Appeals to succeed Charles
Andrews Of Syracuse, whose term expires ON
Dec. 81. The State Committee had authority
from the State Convention which assembled t
Saratoga O year ago to do this. and also to Der
form other functions Of o State Convention.
1t has been the immutablo rule for very
many years that when a State Committee,
Republican Or Democratic, is endowed with the
functions ofa State Convention, the meeting oa
IL Stdto committees snail % as pubic as q
State Convention. The Democratic State Com
mittee has always obeyed this rule until We'd.
nesday last, when 1t held its session behind
closed doors and you couldn't pry them open
with q jimmy. The Democratic State
did not wish the outside world to listen
to the appeals Of the advocates OF the Chicago
national platform OF 1896 for recognition and
consistency. The Democratic State Committee
broke the rule Of generations for no other rear
son than that 1t was engaged in business
which would not ommend itself to the
followers of the Democratic party. The
Republican State Committee yesterday obeyed
tho rule OF years. and all who cared to
hear listened to a strong appeal in behalf
OF the Mckinley Administration, Gov. Blacks
Administration. the st. Louis national platform,
the Raines Liquor law, and. last. but by no
means least, to a denunciatiop of the Citizens'
Union precipitating disuni u and unharmonioun
relations in an effort to bluff the Republicans
organization of Greater Now York into accept
ing Seth Low as its candidate for Mayor.
