the city however. found great deal 10 'ak
about. The conferences OF the previous day.
Colonel Rooseyelt's speech at the Republican
Club dinner and the policy Of the Governor
elect were all fruitful themes for conversation.
In the first place, from all sides came COM
mendation OF Colonel Roosevelts demonstra-
tion Of his determination to do all he can for the
good OF the party as a whole TO reconcile any
differences that have existed In the past pe
tween factions. and to bring about and preserve
harmony in the party. His impartiaIty In con-
ferrng alike with Mr. Choate Mr. Root. Sena-
tor Platt and Mr.. Odell indexed his determna-
tion. II said.
There was much talk about possible appoint
ments yesterday although 1t was the general
opinion that few actual decisions have been
reached II was said, however. on good au-
thority. that Colonel Roosevelt will appoint
William J. Youngs, District Attorney or
Queens County, to be his private secretary.
Mr.. Youngs has been warm personal frlend
Of the Governor-elect for years. He went cam
paigning with him, and has done some hard
work The subject Of a successor to C. Wht-
ney Tillinghast. ID. as Adjutant-General' was
also considered. Colonel Roosevelt is frlend
OF the National Guard. and 1t is known that ne
will do everything possible to right any wrongs
that have existed and strengthen the orgahi-

AS TO MR. ALDRIDGE.
As has been forecast. It was not considered
probable that George w. Aldridge' OF hocn-
ester. vAn be reappointed State Supern-
tendent Of Public Works. Mr. Odell ac-
cording to good authority. might have had
the place had he cared for it. bur ne
never considered it seriously. and when he heard
his friends using his name in connection VII"
it he declined at once to be considered as
candidate Who will be appointed no one seemed
10 know and no LANES were hazarded. In the
next place It was also declared that when the
Superntendent OF Insurance. Louis +. Payn has
served ont his term he will not be reappointed
As his term does not expire for some time there
is little gossip as to his possible successor Fred
erick F. Easton. OF Albany superintendent OF
the Capitol is a candidate for reappointment'
but so far there seems to be no assurance that
he will be renamed.
A favoriie subject for discussion was the SEN
atorship. 1t is now known that Mr.. Odell Is no
longer TO be considered candidate for that
place Mr. Odell asked by his friends II he
/ wanted IT, and he frankly said that at present
he was not an aspirant for the honor. Many OF
Mr. Odelrs friends think that the future holds
much in store for him. and that as he Is
young man he can well afford TO walt Chaun-
cev NJ Depew is also a candidate. II Is remem-
bered that Mr. Depew for twenty five years has
lahored hard for the Republican party. Many
men in the organization and out of II would Ike

Judicial appointments were also under discus
