ERAL TARIFF REVISION.

New YOrk.-Gov. Charles f. Hughes
was indorsed as New York's Repub-
lican candidate for President by that
par,y's state convention held Saturday.
and the four delegates at-large, with
national Republican convention were
instructed to use all honorable means
10 bring about his nomination.
The four delegates-atlarge are: Gen.
Stewart l.. WoOdford, ex-Mayor Seth
Low OF this city, Frederick r. Hazard
Of Syracuse, and E. II. Butler of Buff
falo.
The convention-the thirteenth held
by the Republican party to elect dele
sates-at-large to a national convention
was a repetition of its distinctive
feature Of the Oneida convention OF
1880. when Roscoe Conkling sought
vainly to have not only the delegates
at-large. but the congressional dele
gates also instructed for Ulysses s.
Grant.
Ex-State Senator Edgar T. Brackett
OF Saratoga, president OF the Hughes
State League, precipitated sharp de.
bate by presenting a minority report
from the committee on resolutions to
amend the resolution indorsing Gov.
ernor Hughes and to instruct the dele.
gates-at-large to work for him, and the
other delegates to "persistently labor
for his nomination until nomination
is made" This failed. and the major
ity report was adopted almost unani.
mOnsly.
The platform indorses in strong
terms the administration Of President
Roosevelt and Governor Hughes. and
| commends the policies OF the federal
administration.
A revision of the tariff is favored and
the action of Congress in declining to
revise the tariff by piecemeal is in
dOrSed.
Changes are advocated in the cur.
rency laws to provide more elastic
and satisfactory monetary system.
The platform favors the upbuildfnE

pletion of the Panama canal: the de-
velopment of the American merchan;

waterways: the re-enactment OF popu.
