fore the Convention.
HIGGINS SECURED THE PLUM
EMPIRE STATE REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION.

Saratoga, \. Y, Sept. 1.-THE second
day of the Republican state convention
disclosed no material change in the sit
uation as regards the gubernatorial
nomination. The Kings county men,
the political bodyguard of Mr.. Wood
run, apparently were as determined as
ever. During the later hours last night
and early today there was an effort on
the part of the leaders on both sides TO
MI up the delegations so as to make the
largest possible showing should the
matter come 10 an actual vote under
the terms of the Kings county resolu-
ton providing for an individual roll
call. Attempts were made to induce
the Kings county delegates to consent
TO a modification of the resolution so as
TO allow undisputed delegations TO vote
as whole, and chairmen of delegations
10 cast the vote Of absentees.
me efforts were futile, however. and
there appeared little possibility of any
concessions on the part of Kings coun-
" people to avert the threatened clash
on the convention floor.
When the convention was called to
order State Senator George h. Malby
was presented as permanent chairman.
His speech was chiefly devoted to re-
view Of the Republican. administration
for the last ten years. The chairman
then called for the report of the COM
mittee on resolutions and the platform
was presented and adopted without dis
cussion.
The Platform.

state, the home of Theodore Roosevelt,
IN convention assembled, congratulate
the country on the splendid results of
the recent elections in Oregon. Yer

Welt and Fairbanks.

made TO President Roosevelt by our
state convention two years ago, of unc
faltering confidence and unwavering
support
We endorse the platform of the Re
publican national convention i'm Chica-
go in June last. in all its declarations
particularly those in favor of the main
tenance of the gold standard and pro-
lection to American workmen and the
industries by which they thrive
we appeal for support TO the COM
mon sense Of those who do not believe
in change for the sake of making a
change, and who are willing to let well
enough alone. and those who believe in
the kind of protection the Republican
party has always stood for. and not in
the kind with which the Democratic
party. with its free trade allies. is
trying to delude industrial workers
The Republican party's safe guild
ance is evidenced by the fact that dur
ing the administrations OF Mckinley
and Roosevelt wages reached the high
est point on record and prosperity su-
