O'Brien Nominated and No County Troubles
Brought Up-NO anal Resolution.
The meeting of the Republican State
Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes
terday morning was good deal like that
saying Of Uncle Josh Billings; Il have
had heap of trouble in my life, most of
which never happened" There was
goodly representation Of the committee.
Col. George W. Dunn. chairman, presided,
Deacon Fox put down on paper the few
things that the committeeman said. and it
was all over in very few minutes.
The committee unanimously nominated
the Hon. Denis O'Brien of Watertown,
Democrat, to be Associate Judge of the
Court Of Appeals, to succeed himself. thus
ratifying the action of the Democratic State
Committee at Albany on Saturday. In a
former time the Republican State Committee.
nominated Robert Earl, Democrat, just as
the committee nominated Mr. O'Brien
yesterday, and a number of years ago the
Democratic State Committee nominated
Judge Andrews. Republican, and the Re-
publican State Committee nominated Judge
Andrews in return. In on years very little
concern is manifested by the two political
parties III eltudtlOIl VI tillS klHu
Uncle Josh Billings's saying about "a
heap OF trouble that never happened"
turned true when the Republican State
Committee did not take up the Assembly
district quarrel in Fulton and Hamilton,
where Frank Wood has been nominated
by the alleged regulars and Clarence Smith
has been renominated by petition in OPP
position. If this quarrel should come up
for Republican official action it will be re-
ferred to the executive committee Of the
Republican State Committee, but it was
said last night that Gov. Odell has under
| taken the part Of peacemaker, and that
| eventually Frank Wood will be recognized
rs the candidate to be voted for.
There is a little blue spot on the State
map, marked of as St Lawrence, Franklin,
| Clinton, Essex, Hamilton, Warren, Wash
| ington Saratoga, Fulton and Montgomery
counties, which is also disturbing Republi-
cans. Representative Iittauer and his
| friends have evidently cut loose. according
| TO reports that were heard last night, from
| their old moorings, whether these were
| Roosevelt or Odell and have set up in bust
| ness for themselves, and they are sust stained
| in his attitude by Senator Edgar T. Bracket
| of Saratoga who hopes two years from now
| so it is said, to be nominated for Supreme
| Court Justice.
A good deal was heard yesterday about
| the possible nomination of Leut.-Gov.
Frank Wayland Higgins of olean to be
| Governor next year. Some people spoke of
| Speaker s. Fred Nixon, and there was
comment also az to the availability of the
Hon Hamilton Fish; and after all has been
said it should not be forgotten that the
| Hon EliMl Root was most favorably men
toned as a possible candidate for Govern OIL
! next wear.
Following out the saying Of Uncle Josh
Billings about lot Of trouble that was
expected and did not come, no mention
whatever was made OF a proposed resolution
70 support the amendment to the Consti-
tuition to be voted for this fall calling fol
a SOL 900 900 appropriation for the canals.
