1t was delightfully."- cool at the Oriental Hotel,
Ooney Island. yesterday. The flags from the
staffs on the roof Of the hotel snapped and
some OF the folks on the verandas wore wraps.
Politicians and Wall street men we're on hand.
All the Olewses to the third and fourth genera
lions, ex-MRyor Hugh ]. Grant, Howard Irving
Smith. the sylph OF the street" and half
a hundred more equally renowned were there.
The politicians. mostly Republicans, made up
an interesting group Senator Plat, Railroad
Commissioner Dunn. Isaac V. Baker. Chair
mar 0dell OF tho State Committee, President
Quigg OF the New York County Committee. and
Charles s.. Wilbur are only a few OF the number
present.
Something was said about q conference to be
held to-day In Albany which is to be attended
by Gov. Black. Superintendent Of Insurance
Payn and Superintendent OF Public Works
Aldridge. Mr.. Plat, Mr.. odell. Mr.. QuiGg. Mr..
Dunn and Mr.. Baker have not received invita-
tions to be present at this conference.
Little or nothing was said at the Oriental
Hotel yesterday by the Republican politicians
concerning Black or Roosevelt. That mat
ter seemed to be q settled issue. Most
Of the talk concerned candidates to
be nominated for subordinate places on
the State ticket at the approaching
State Convention OF the Republican party. 1t
appears that Erie county demands the nomina-
tion OF Col. William ]. Morgan for Comp
troller. Col. Morgan has been chief deputy
for Comptroller James A. Roberts for the
last six years. Mr.. Roberts and his
friends believe that Col. Morgan should
now be nominated for Comptroller. There Is
every desire. It was said. to hearken to the
wishes Of the Erie county Republicans. and TO
give the county q good place on the State
ticket. In fact. Erie county demands the place

of Silas. B. butcher of. Brooklyn for

was said. unless the Erie. county brethren tote
out a stronger candidate for the place than Col.
Morgan: All the Republican authorities. 1t
was added. want to give the COMPREHENSIVE
to Erie county, but there Is q general feeling
that he isn't heavy enough timber. and, be-
sides, it was insisted, Col. Morgan. on his
record. has not earned such q high nomination.
This Is one Of the best places on the ticket.
Isaac V. Baker and Railroad Commissioned
Dunn urged with the utmost heartiness the
nomination OF Addison B. Colvin for Comp
troller.
All hands like Colvin. He has made a fine
State Treasurer, and yet II was learned Sena-

considered yesterday.
It was a calm and dispassionate day all
around. The mills OF the Republican party In
the State. 1t was said. are grinding along in fair
fashion. and folks who seemed to be possessed
Of an inslght OF the situation said they couldn't
for the life OF them understand why Gov. Black
still refused to consider that glorious PROPOSE
tion to git alongside of Mr.. Platt in the United
Statea Senate. |
