cornnanv with Frederick S. Gibbs, that citys
member Of the Republican COMMITTEE MI
Gibbs said enphatically, respecting governor
Odell: The Governor deserves renominatioh'
for he has been highly successful in conducting

Senator Plat. upon arriving here. took posses
sion Of Cottage No. 10 of the United states

the big veranda a place near the Office OF the

WOODRUFF NOT CANDIDATE.
In the course OF a chat with some friends Sen
ator Platt was reminded that he had said that a
yellow dog could be elected on the Republican
State ticket this year" Mr.. Platt smiled and
replied: Il did say could elect yellow dog,
but ] did not say would nominate one
Then, in talking about the minor places upon
the Republican State ticket. Senator Platt said
that Lieutenant Governor Woodruff was not a
candidate for denomination. THE New-York
delegation he added, will support George r.
Sheldon for the nomination for Lieutenant Gov
ernor." In reply to questions on the subject
Senator Plat said he believed that State Engi-
neer Bond would be renominated. and that Con-
troller Miller. who was appointed to his present
place, would receive the nomination for it
IF the Erie County delegation favors the
nomination Of John G. Wickser for State Treas
urer," added Senator Platt, Il think he will re-
ceive the nomination
It is known that Senator Platt still mas hopes
that John I. McDonough of Albany, the Re
publican Secretary of State. will accept a nomi-
nation for a third term. Mr.. McDonough stated
to-day in Albany that he would come here on
Monday. He is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for judge of the Court of Appeals,
but said he would not open headquarters here
in which to meet friends who supporting
him for that nomination. 1t is the general be-
lief Of the Republican leaders that Judge Will
lam E. Werner, of Rochester, at present MEM
Der Of the Court Of Appeals, will receive the Re-
publican nomination for judge.
WERNER MAY GET A PLACE.
Judge Werner's candidacy has been strength
enod by the statement of David B. Hill that
Judge Gray, the Democratic member of the
Court Of Appeals. whose term expires will re-
ceiye the support of the Democratic party for
the Office Then the Democratic leaders intend
to make the argument that Judge Gray ought
to have received also the Republican nomina-
tion. The Republican reply. if Judge Werner
is nominated. will be that the Republican party
itself has nominated judge of the Court OF
Appeals for the coming vacancy.
Senator Platt said respecting the nomination
fer Attorney General: II do not think that
nomination has yet been determined. j have
heard that ]. Rider Cady. of Hudson. Column
bia County, might become candidate for the
nomination
This statement by Senator Platt will give hope
both TO Frank H. Robinson. of Steuben County.
and to Deputy Attorney General Henry B. Co
~ Sxil WI
candidates for the nomination for Attorney
General Both Mr.. Conan and Mr.. Robinson
arrived here tonight and at once began an
active canvass in support Of their candidacy

ham, Columbia County, former Superintendent
OF the Insurance Department. said positively to-
night; Judge Cady is not candidate for the
nomination for Attorney General
BERRI WORKING FOR WOODRUFF.
William Berri, of Kings County, arrived here
thls afternoon and began urging the renomina-
uon Of Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. The
Kings County delegation said Mr.. Berri, Il
believe is solidly in favor of Mr. Woodruff's re-
nomination although / speak only for myself.
Nor do speak for Mr.. Woodruff, who, SO far
know. sticks TO his announced declaration that
ne Is not candidate for denomination / am
pressing Mr.. woodruff's denomination because L
thlnk his nomination would bring to the Re
publican party thousands of votes in Kings
county, especially if Bird 5. Coler should re-
celNe the Democratic nomination for Governor.
Mr' Woodruff has united the Republicans OF
Kings County. and hear that he is very popular
among the farmers of the State. owing to his
Work, which has been successful, as a member
" the State Fair Commission"
Senator Platt, however. said In regard to the
ialk about Mr.. woodruffs denomination. that he
nae several talks with him about the matter,
