CLEAN, N. Y, Oct. 4--Lieut Gov. Frank
Wayland Higgins was notified formally
to-day OF his nomination by the Republican
party for the Governors office and in his
speech Of acceptance promised honesty in
State affairs and particularly in the spend
ing Of the canal funds.
In all his speech there was no mention
by name Of Gov. Oicll. though the latter's
administration was defended. A feature
OF the ceremony which took place at Mr.
Higgins's home was a speech by Senator
Depew on national issues in reply to Judge
Parker's speech Of acceptance.
The exercises were delayed for several
hours by wrecked freight which held up
the train on which were the members OF
the notification committee and number
Of the candidates. All of those on the
Republican ticket were present except
Judge Cullen.
SENATOR MALAY NOTIFIES THEM.
Senator George r. Malby delivered the
speech Of notification. In part he said:

but we OK poet to have our Democratic oppon-
ents declare that II thing cannot or should

THE STATE ADMINISTRATION HONEST.
The Democratic party at its convention
at Saratoga adopted n platform in which
grave charges were made against the ad-
ministration of tn. affairs of the State, by
the Republican party, during the past ten
years. We're such charges true, ] would
not be here to-day to accept your nomination
for Governor. My experience in the State
Senate and as Lieutenant Governor places
me In position to know what has occurred
In the State administration during this period
OF Republican government. and emphatically
deny the charges therein made.
Our opponents dare not be specific IN their
allegations. They charge us with extraya-
gance and then advocate policies calling
for the expenditure of money which the
Republican party inaugurated. and expects.
in case of victory at the polls TO continue.
TO what laws upon the statute books can be
the Democratic. party point rs evidence OF
fnaladmnistration either in motive or
results? Whatever LEGISLATION has como to
the Executive that has not met with popular
approval has been promptly rejected by
reto, which veto has never been overridden
bv the LEGISLATURE. In their structures upon
Republican administrations since lsaa can
the Democratic party point to specific in
stance where valuable franchises OF n city
were dissipatcd through State LEGISLATION,
rs was tho case in the infamous IIuckleberry
hill which GRANTED an exclusive and Derpetu al
