NO SUNDAY OPENING PROBABLE.
REPUBLICAN LEGISLATORS ARE OPPOSED
TO EVEN ALLOWING THE PEOPLE TO
VOTE ON THE QUESTION.

Albany. Dec. % (SpeciaD.-Governor odell ever
since Election Day has been obtaining the views
Of the leading Republican members of the legis-
lature regarding the proposition to authorize
directly indirectly the sale Of liquor on Sun
day during certain hours in the liquor stores Of
New-York. The opinion is overwhelmingly in
opposition to such legislation.
a larger proportion of the Republican Senators
and Assemblymen live north Of the Harlem
River than south of II. This means that they
represent the larger number Of communities of
the State we'll as all the cities of the interior
of the State, They told the Governor that the
UP State Democrats, especially the rural Demo-
Gratis, were resolute in their opposition to open
ing liquor stores on Sunday. The fear fire.
quently expressed that if New-York saloons were
opened on Sunday general law would soon be
passed opening the saloons in the other cities
and in the towns of the State on Sunday. The
action Of the brewers recently in favoring open
saloons on Sunday in cities having 100000 popu-
lation if Sunday opening law for New-York
is passed was taken to be a revelation of the
real purpose of the liquor interest
Senator Ranes has called attention lately to
the following plank adopted by the Republican
State Convention on September 1S. 1895:
I'VE favor the maintenance of the Sunday
laws in the interest of labor and morality"
The adoption of that plank was due TO at
tempt at the convention of 1895 by New
York City delegates to have declaration made
in favor of New-York being permitted to vote
on the question of the sale Of liquor on Sunday.
George w. Dunn, the present chairman of the
Republican State Committee, who was a dele
gate to the convention, said:
Il hope the convention will reject any city
local option plank which may be offered to IT,
We in the country would lose thousands of Re
publican votes If the convention should adopt
such a plank
Mr. Miller supported his plank In fiery
speech. II was obviously favored by the conven-
ton, the committee on resolutions accepted it.
and il adopted by a unanimous vote.
1t is not believed here that any local option
or referendum bill will be passed by the legis-
lature of 1902 authorizing New-York City to
vote on the question of the sale of liquor
Sunday within her confines AS for the Raines
law hotels apparently there will be legisla-
ton concerning them until trial has been made
of the Republican police administrations now
about to come into existence in the large cities
Of the State, since it is held that the iniquities
of the Raines law hotels be suppressed If
the police yiglant.

The Republican officials in Albany are keen to

slow" in making that decision Practically the
Governor has been considering the appointment
