Saratoga, y. V, Sept. 25.-COmplet
ing yesterday in three hours Il state
ticket, and promulgating Il platform
of principles without the least indica-
ton of friction ard amidst much en-
thusiasm, the state Republican conyen-
ton adjourned since die. The candi-
dates, with three exceptions, are at
present state officers. The planks in
the platform which attracted most at
tention were those protesting against
combinations and trusts and the dec
laration for improved canals. The
ticket nominated was: For governor:
Ii. Il. Odell, Jr., of Orange; lieuten-
ant governor, +. W. Higgins, of Cat
taraugus; secretary of state, John +.

salient Points of the Platform.
The platform praises President
Roosevelt's administration and pledges
to him the support of New York in
1904. The convention also declared
against trusts which destroy competi-
ton, limit production and increase
the cost to the consumer of the neces-
saries of life. The convention, how
ever. makes it plain that ii favors
business enterprises which have for
their object the extension of trade and
the upbuilding of our state" THE
integrity of the protective principle
must be preserved" the platform says,
for that principle Is required to
maintain the highest scale of Ameri-
can wages and the supremacy of the
American workshop" The federal gov
eminent is congratulated upon it's
work in Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines. and tribute is paid to
the memory of President Mckinley.
They Have Convenient Memories.
The friction which developed Tues
day and which threatened to result in
party breach had entirely disap-
peared yesterday morning. and the
leaders talked in the most harmonious
way. Senator Platt said that If he
made any aspersions on Mr.. Woodruff
he had forgotten them. Woodruff
failed to remember any criticism of
Senator Plat. Governor Odell left ear
ly in the morning after having effect
ed the retirement of Sheldon. the first
candidate for lieutenant governor, and
the delegates almost as unit APP
proved of the decision. Senator Hig-
gins, who was named by the conven-
ton for lieuttnant governor. was the
original candidate of Senator Plat.
Sheldon is n banker. ard it was
charged that he had interests I'm
trusts Tuesday the dispute was hot
and the lenders were saying very sharp
things about each other. Governor
Odell had to come down and secure
the withdrawal of Sheldon, who says
he has no kick coming.

has taken up the card formerly held
by Mr.. Van Camp. Van Camp will
be remembered as the man who came
here and called out the local electri-

national organizer of the association
and had been sent here to fight the
