CHAIRMAN ODELL'S REMARKS.
As the chairman Of the State Committee. who
had so ably handled the campaign just closed. y.
y Odell jr was next introduced by Mr.. Depew.
Mr. Oden made a short speech. explaining that

learned that silence was golden. and that by
this time some OF those who had carried on the
Democratic campaign wished that they had
learned the same thing early in the campaign
Mir Oden also made a humorous reference to the
fact that some Of the papers had printed the
pictures oH various candidates for the Senator
ship to succeed Edward Murphy and that
among them was his picture, as well as thai Of
the POSTMASTER and the speaker who was to
follow HIM He expressed the belief that MI

"Our recent victory was one for Republicans
OF all factions and shades OF belief. 1t was
gained by the united harmonious effort OF all
Republicans and the State headquarters were
this year the headquarters of all Republicans
