Sept. 16.—Frank W Higgins of Cattaragus, the Odell can- didate, was nominated for governor by acclamation by the - Republican state convention here. The ante-convention contest had been a bitter ome, the Platt faction favoring the nominatior of former Lieutenant Governor Tim- othy 1. Woodruff. Mr. Woodruif’s name was presented to the convention, FRANK W. HIGGINS, but at the conclusion of the nominat: ing speeches and just as the secretary of the convention was about to call the roll for the ballot Mr. Woodruft interrupted and made his way to the platform. “It is so obvious,” said he, “that the result of this convention is already a settled thing that I don't want you to waste your time in a roll call. 1 am a Republican. Yon can keep me from a position of command, but you cannot drive me out of the Republican party.” He then paid high tribute to W Higgins and moved that the secretary cast one ballot for the selection of Mr. Higgins as the candidate for gov- ernor. The motion was carried with a shout and obeyed by the secretary. The ticket was completed as follows: Balance of State Ticket. Lieutenant governor, M. Linn Bruce, New York; secretary of state, John F. O'Brien, Clinton; attorney general, Julius M. Mayer, New Yo state treasu John D. Wallenmeyer, Erie; state engineer and surveyor, Henry A.

Werner, Monroe. ‘When the convention v called to order State Senator George R. Malby of St. Lawrence county was presented as permanent chairman. His speech was chiefiy devoted to a review of the Republican administration for the last ten year: At its conclusion he called for the report of the committee on resolutions and the platform was pre- sented to the convention and, after being read, was adopted without dis- cussion. Assemblyman A. C. Wade named Lieutenant Governor Frank W. Hig- gins for governor and William A. Pren- dergast placed the name of former Lientenant Governor Timothy L. Wood- ruff before the convention. Mr, Wood- ruff appeared on the platform at the conclusion of the nominating speeches and withdrew as a candidate for gov- ernor, He asked for the nomination of Higgins by acclamation and his re- quest was granted by the convention. The ticket, as given above, was then named by the convention. Synopsis of Platform Adopted. The Republicans of the Empire state, the home of Theodore Roosevelt, in convention assembled fifty years after the birth of the party, congratulate the country on the splendid results of the recent elections in Oregon, Ver- mont and Maine and the inspiration that they have given to the cause of Roosevelt and Fairbanks. We endorse the platform of the Re- publican national convention in Chi- cago June last in all its declarations, particularly those in favor of the gold standard and protection to American workmen and the industries by which they thrive. We appeal for support to the com- mon sense of those who do not be- lieve in a change for the sake of mak- ing a change and who are willing to “let well enough alone;” to 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 alli 1s trying to delude industrial workers. National as well as state politics are involved in the outcome of our state election and we cofimend to every citizen the faithful performance of his patriotic duty. SHEEP BUTCHERS REMAIN OUT.

Madison, Wis., Sept. 16.—Justice Sie brecker sprung a surprise on the su preme court during the day by an nouncing that the Republican factional case had developed—especially since the amended complaint had been filed —features that involved personal anc political fortunes of a relative and that therefore he had decided it was not Dbroper for him to participate in the case and that he would therefore leave the bench during the time it was pend- ing. Tae judge left the bench imme: diately after the announcement. H. W. Chynoweth, for the La Fol lette faction, continued his contention against the court assuming any juris diction of the case. He made a lon, and exhaustive argument, sayin, among other things that the state had created a proper tribunal to decide political questions and-that the conrts had nothing to do with the matte: Even if the state central committee disqualified that fact does not cm\i". power to act on the court. John Barnes, counsel for the La Fol- lette wing, followed Mr. hynoweth, He contended that the proper tribu to settle party feuds is the party self. When there is ng siatute bl ing courts to decide s-?fi. questions, ha said, the majority of them hold, and nzht]y, that they will not assume ta decide such controversies, FURTHER TROUBLE FEARED HUNTSVILLE ig (ALA.)
