 The candidates, with three excep- tions, are at present state officers. The blanks in the platform which attracted most attention were those protesting against combinations and trusts and the declaration for improved canals.
 The platform also indorses the ad- rninistration of President Roosevelt and Governor OdeM, calls attention to the abolition of the direct tax, dis courses on the economy that has char acterized the administration of state affairs, considering largely increased responsibilities; congratulates Presi- dent Roosevelt for laying the founda- tions of local government ill the Philip pines, indorses the relief furnished To- cal education in the state, calls for good roads and improved canals, in- dorses the constitutional amendment allowing the legislature to regulate the hours of labor for workingmen, calls for the preservation of the protective tariff in the interest of the working man. favors legislation to get more speedy results in supreme court ac- tiOns, favors high standard of state care for the insane with care to care full expenditure, favors appropriations for the forest preserves and favors rec ognition of the veterans of all wars.
 The friction which developed the first day of the convention and which threatened to result in a party breach had entirely disappeared when the del egates met to name the ticket. Sena- tor Platt said that if he made any as- pensions on Mir Woodruff he had for gotten them. MT. Woodruff failed to remember any criticism of Senator Platt.
 Governor odell left early in the morning after having effected the re- tirement of MT. Sheldon, and the dele gates almost as unit approved of the decision.
 Senator Higgins, who was named by the convention for lieutenant governor, was the original candidate of Senator Platt.
 MT. Sheldon said after the conven- tion: Il have positively no grievance. My business connections, it would seem, bid fair to lay the ticket open to criticism had I been nominated, partic- ularly in view of the fact that before the convention such criticisms had be- gun to be made"
 A committee of representative lead CTS of the party was appointed to meet i'll Albany Oct. and officially notify the nominees of the convention.
 One of the surprises of the day was the announcement that George w. Dunn, chairman of the Republican state committee, would not be, candi- date for congress in the Thirtieth con- gressional district to succeed Con- an appointment as United States dis trict judge The candidate for con- gress in that district will be John Dwight of Tompkins county.
 Chairman Dunn was induced to re- tire from the congressional race be- cause it was believed that his services will be needed to conduct the cam paign. He. Is member of the state railroad commission, and it had been planned that if he was elected to con- gross he would resign the commissions ership and that Congressman Sherman of Utica would succeed him. Now that MT. Dunn is out of the race for con- gress MT. Sherman will be candidate for reelection to congress.
