NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.

Gsat1ook For Harmonious Convention.
 The Ticket Fixed Beforehand.
 SARATOGA, N. Y, Sept 22-Not in many years has there been day prior to the assembling of New York state Republican convention such placidity as now exists. Undoubtedly this is be- cause by far the ma ajOrity of selections for the state ticket have been practi- cally agreed upon, and the few offices in contention are being contested for in friendly and therefore quiet spirit. The ticket as far as constructed reads:
 Governor, B. B. Odell, IT,. of Orange; lieutenant governor, George R. Shel- don of New York; comptroller, N. B. Miller of Cortland; treasurer, John G.. Wickser of Erie; engineer, E. A. Bond of Jefferson; judge of the court of ap- peals, William B. Werner of Monroe.
 Contests are being waged for the of fees of secretary of state and attorney general. That for lieutenant governor has been practically ended, the delega- tions from New York, Westchester and Erie counties having decided to go into the convention pledged for George R.. Sheldon
 It is further announced that United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew will present Mr. Sheldon's name to the convention.
 For attorney general the contest is between Judge Cowan, the present deputy, and Judge Robinson, with the chances greatly in favor of Judge Cowan so far as delegation prefer ences are ascertainable.
 Nearly all the party leaders are here. A great deal of the detail of the con vention has been arranged. Lemuel E. Quigg is to be temporary chairman, and Senator Ellsworth is to be perma- nent chairman.
 Governor Odell will be put in nomi- nation by former Senator Clarence Lexow of Nyack and seconded by Job Hedges of New York city.
 Governor Odell has sent word here that he positively will not come to Sar- atoga during the convention. 1t had been planned that he should come on Wednesday, the last day of the con vention, so that he might be the per sonal recipient of the nomination. He says in positive terms that he believes it would be undignifed, for the govern or of New York to attend the conven- tion for any purpose

Man Repudiates Charges Against Him

 Editor of the Democrat:
 Will you give me space in your col- umns to. deny the charges preferred against me ill this mornings paper, that I was drunk last night and that .'one who knows" states that my ar, rest was only another case of worth less husband and Virtuous law-abid- ing wife. The only drinks I had yes terday were a couple of glasses of sweet cider, and so far as my family affairs are 0oncerned think it is time enough to ais them in the papers when they become public property. If your morning contemporary wanted to be fair it should tell who "one who knows is and then let it's readers de eide what his opinion was worth.
