Time Since the PHILADELPHIA Convention.
Senator Plat had the usual platoon Of Re-
publican visitors at the Oriental Hotel. Coney
Island. yesterday or course the great subject
discussed was who shall be the Republican can
didate for Governor. As the days pass and
"a the up-country Republicans continue 10
visit New York there Is no change in the SEN
timent that the Hon. Benjamin B. Odel, Jr..
chairman of the Republican State Committee.
should be the candidate for Governor. This
opinion is universal II Is voluntary and can
did. About the surest thing in Republican
politics nowadays Is that Mr.. Odell is to be
the candidate

there are any number OF candidates for Lieu
tenant Governor. The two most formidable
are Senator Francis Wayland Higgins of olean
aud Senator Horace White Of Syracuse.
Still neither of these two gentlemen
is regarded as available timber at this
time for the reason that the vast ma
jortty of Republicans who talk about
these matters believe that Mr.. Higgins and
Mr. White should be returned TO their highly
honorable places in the State Senate The
very strongest candidates for the Senate are
to be sought for. The ticket for Governor
and Lieutenant-iovernor looks very much
like QdeLl and strong German Republican

printed the other day to the effect that during
his administration Elliot Danforth, the Demo
