dorse Roosevelt.

Saratoga, Sept. 22.-Present indioa-
tions show that there will be q REQ
ord-breaklng attendance at the Repub-
loan state convention which will be
organized here tomorrow. Many CON-
ference are on today. Lieutenants Of
Woodruff much in evidence with
large number Of Brooklyn friends.
There Is no sign that Sheldon's name
will be rubbed off the slate, despite
the sudden announcement that Wood
ruff is against William" OH account
Of an alteration between Sheldon
and Woodruff last night. Odell's re.
nomination will be the keynote and
harmony the watchword.
Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. 22.-The
Republican state convention will as
semble in his city tomorrow to nomi.
nate candidates for governor, lieuten-
ant-governor and other state Offices to
be filled at the November. eleori on.
Many Of the delegates and other party
leaders have already put in an appear.
ance and their early arrival on the
scene is evidence Of the more than or
binary interest and Importance at
taohed to the gathering. The state
ticket has been practically agreed
upon by Senator Platt and the state
organization and the convention will
not be enlivened by any contests for
nomination. Though eleventh hour
developments may necessitate change
in some one Of the minor places, it
is reasonably certain that the ticket
will be made up as follows:
For Governor-B. B. Odell, Jr., of
Orange county.
For Lieutenant Governor-George
R. Sheldon Of New York.
For Secretary Of State-John T.
McDonough of Albany.
For Attorney General-Henry B.
Conan, of Madison county.
For Controller Nathan L. Miller,
of Cortland county.
For State Treasurer-John G.. Wick.
ser, Of Erie.
For State Engineer-Edward A.
Bond, of Jefferson county.
For Associate Justice Of the Court
of Appeals-William E. Warner, Of
Monroe county.
The makeup Of the state ticket
being practically settled the attention
of the delegates is conferred on ques-
tions over which there is more party
contention and livelier public inter-
est-the Endorsement of President
Roosevelt for the Republican nomi-
nation in 1894. the Endorsement Of
hi policy with regard to the trusts,
and a propoed declaration in favor of
his stand on the quetion of Cuban re-
Talk with the delegates on
the field indicate decided difference
OF opinion on these questions and it is
predicted that there will be some
lively debates on the convention oorfl
when the subjects are introduced for
consideration and action. While some
prominent leaders are oponly antagon-
istic to such q course, it is generally
believed that the convention will in
dorse the President as the logical
candidate for denomination. To
Edward W. Lauterbach has been en-
trusted the task Of framing tentative
planks on the trust and reciprocity
issues. It is difficult to forecast just
what stand the convention will take
on these two questions. The differ
enoe Of opinion probably will result
in a compromise. There is decided
opposition to an Endorsement Of the
Presidents reciprocity plan. Some
of the leaders are for leaving all men,
tion of the question out Of the reso-
lutions, while others are in favor Of
dealing with it only in general way.
The convention will be called to
order at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
in Convention Hall. Senator Els
worth, the leader of the State Senate,
will act as permanent chairman.
