FOR STATE CONVENTION.
REPUBLICANS CHOOSE DELEGATES IN
NETWORK COUNTY.

Peace and harmony prevailed at all Of the
Republican Assembly District conventions in
New-York County last evening. The cOnven-
tfons elected 1873 delegates to the Republican
State Convention which will meet in the Grand
Central Palace in this city at noon on Tuesday.
April II. Even in the XXIst Assembly Dis
trict where the fierce fight al the primaries
occurred last week the convention last evening
was as quiet as a prayer meeting. Abraham
Czruber and George c. Austin who opposed
each other at the primaries, were both dele
gates IN the convention. Mr.. Gruber was IN
control and Mr. Austin did not attempt to do
more than put up a rival ticket for delegates.
The Gruber ticket won by vote Of 101 TO 53,
and Mr. Gruber was made the leader of the
district delegation by the unanimous vote OF
the delegation Needless TO say, the delegation
IS anti Qufgg and anti-Platt, but II is Repub-
lican delegation.
Mr. Gr1lber's convention held In the Gym
nasium at No. $3.50 Broadway. Ex-Judge OIL
colt opened the convention as temporary chair
man Alderman Armitage Mathews was made
permanent chairman by vote of 1904 to 52i2.
Francis w Jones being the candidate OF the
Austin faction. The Gruber forces kept 10 the
right side Of the hall and the Austin followers
TO the left. There was nc excitement. the only
demonstration being a general hiss from the
Gruber faction Just before the primaries was
named as Austin delegate.
T w Cuthbertson offered resolution COM
mending 10 all loyal Republicans the admins
trations Of President Mckinley and of Governor
Roosevelt and pledging the support of the Repub-
Iicans of the XXIst District TO both next fall.
This was carried with cheer.
Charles A. Hess had full control of the con-
vention in the XVIII Assembly District. held
49,
made only poor show of resistance. The Com
mittee on Contested Seats after session last
ing over an hour reported that It had examined
witnesses and inspectors Of election in the Fifth
Election District, and had found from such ex-
animation that there had been six Illegal votes
cast at the recent primaries The committee
recommended unseating from the convention
Ralph W. Epps and John W. Coleman and
seating in their stead Christopher Stewart and
James McAnerney. Resolutions TO that effect
were offered and passed.
Resolutions indorsing the administrations of
President Mckinley and Governor Roosevelt
were passed in the conventions in the XXIvth
and XXIXth districts
At the convention in the With District reso-
luton 10 indorse the administration OF Governor
Roosevelt was met with great applause but it
was withdrawn when James E March the dis
rict leader, explained that the coming State
Convention was not going nominate anybody
for Governor.
In the XIIth District Convention John Stieb-
ing got through resolution praising the be-
havior Of Lemue e. Quigg as president Of the
County Committee. That is a district which
never elects a Republican to any office and
where any sort Of a resolution can be passed
with impunity.
Mr. Quigg was elected a delegate 10 the State
Committee at the convention in the XIXth Dis
trict through the influence OF Collector BidweIl
Apparently Mr. Quigg was doubtful of being
able 10 secure election in his own district
Tor he had himself elected a delegate in the
Ist District, where there are so few Republicans
that the gift Of half dozen places in the Gus
toms service will control the Republican organi-
"a ton any time.
Following the delegates who were elected
in the various districts last evening.
