Naw Yonk, Oct. 5.—There were unuistak- able evidences last night that the Republican State Convention to be held today would not be characterized by that:degree of harmony that tho ,Stalwart wing liad all along professed to desire, and which, so far as the {falf-Breeds are con cerned, woulll characterize the gatherfhy were they Jeft to carry out the program which they find laid out. The ditferences thut arose between the two cominittees of conference us to the temporary Chairman- shipand the apportionment of the Comnit- tve on Credentials were of so bitter a nature that when the committee separated the opln- fon was that war, and seme / WAL OF THE RITTEREST KIND, was fnevitablu.” Su at feast thought MreDe- pew, and so said other leading Republicans on both sides of the issue. ‘ihe Stalwarts were opposed to Senator Miller, desiring to place the Hon, Finnk Hiscock in the Chair, aud even when the State Commit- tee met this morniug they, having the ma- jority In that body, Jald out the plan they desired 40 pursne by naming Mr, Hiscock for the Chairmanship; but tho best laid plins of Stalwartsgonstray. Knows iny, as they di, that the convention must be overwhelmingly against them, and that not even the contestants from Onelda, Oswero, or Richmond, whieh the State Committee had very generously voted to plnces on the roll, would saye them, they weut Into the contest with A VERY DRAVE DETERMINATION to wit by strength of cheek, and of nothing else. How they succeeded the story of the proceedings will best and most forcibly tell. Mr. IHscock recognized how futlle It would be for him to Insist upon the nomination for the temporary Chairinanship, even ufter tt was made, and he displayed very good sense and inost excellent Judgment In Inststing upon declining the race for the impossible, Mr. Hiseock has things In vlew whieh would not permit himto set himself {uso striking apposition to tho wing of tho party, which niny yet have the power of ex- tending to him the most favors, if he behaves himself. ‘THE QUESTION OF RNONGANIZATION The only thing that marred the harmony of the convention was the question that came up tonight of the Teormunfzation of the Republican party In New York and = Kings Counties. The — country delegates were strongly — Impressed with the bellef that thera wero serious abuses to bo reformed in the district assocln- (tons in the two grent cities, nnd thore was more feollng shown Jn voting on thls question than on any — other that came up. George Biss warned the con- yentlon to go slow, for it was deal- Ing with over 150,000 voters In New York and Brooklyn, and tn this elty the Democratic majority at tho Jast election had been recelved from 55,000 to 41,000, It would be well to let the eltlus take care of themselves, Tho inachine men tried to EMBARRASS THE VOTING on the questlon of reorganizing the party here, but the question was filly deelded by & vote of 203 to 107 In favor of laying on tho table, ‘This defeated the efforts to reform tho party oryantzathat iu New York and Brooklyn, and the politicians trom these citles who profit by tho present system “were fairly beside themselves with — oxultation and * delight = ‘They swung thelr. hats, jumped up and down, they cheered, — and — shiouted, snreastleally if “Iriend Biss’? would now aud sereamed, ‘Thetr escapo had been the narrowest possible, A. bare majority of five votes Inn stotal of 800 has served thom. Whe the tumult lind = gone down a littl, Mr. Woodin inquired press his objection to tho validity of the yote, ‘here was no response, mud the con- vention turned to the only remalning buss ness, tho numlng of the members of the State Committee, In this the Conkling men are ha tuintuority, ‘TUM TICKET NOMINATED Is made upoft good material throughout, {s well distributed geographically, and ls rep rosuntative of both wings of the party. ‘Pha heaten fuctlon Is gensrously treated by the se- lection of threo of its members for Important. positions, and has ne reason to complaln, Messrs. ussell, Carr, and Finch have hore tufore belonged ta the ‘Conkling wing, Messrs, Unetet and Davenpert are well- Known members of the Independent ele- iment, and tolt also belongs Mr, Seymour, | who ly a new man In State polltlas, TH TEST OF STRENQTIE . in tho convention, us develgped by their strife for the temporary chalriusanship, ox- ‘evaded the sanzulne hopes of even the most sanguine Half-Breeds, and. settled at once ull question: as to who would be Fe} eo SX. AS? PRICE FIVE CENTS, the imaster of the situation. [t settled, also, the transfer’ of polities! power tn this State for some time to come, so far as the internal wranglings of the Republican party are concerted, When Mr. VPintt lett tha stage and Warner Miller temporarily assumed the control of the body MI. CONKLING’S POLITICAL COFFIN recelved one more nall ‘additional to thoso whieh were ,dilven therein during the Senntorinl contest at’ Albany — fast apring, ‘The Half-Breeds, Garfield Repub licaus, Administration Republicans, or by whatever other namo. the wing in opposition to Mr. Conkilng may be termed, by the vote of 103 majority, took. a step forward that will tmnke them for some time to come the © recognized controlllag power in the councils of the party In this State.” The Stalwart lead- ers saw tnquestionably how futile If would. bo fur them tu place themselves fn . STUBNORN OPPOSITION to so largo an opposing force, and that the proceedings were on the whole character- ize by harmony was due nodonubdt to the wise counsels of the cooler heads, who had forecast the situation and saw sonlething fn the contest superior to personal quiurrels, That rather mysterious pilgrim- axe of Senator Jones to Utica Inst week no doubt had much to do in keeping down tho pugnacious spirits of some of his opponents, which would surely have manifested them- selves had he been here; but, even while thls xoud condition of things resulted, the con- vention without the ex-Senator was shorn of @ gvod deal of Its show aspects and much of t. 5—The Republican State bled ut 8 o'elogk with a full attendance of members, ‘The press was’ ex: cluded, but It was learned that the proceud- ings were harmonious, Chairnmn Piatt condueted the proceedings with Sinpartiality. Sharpe spoke in. favor of Frank Ills of Syracuse, as temporary Chairman of the convention, aud Mr. Hiscock was agreed upon, ‘The selection seemed to give general sntisfaction, and even theso who opposed the nonination gave in thelr adherence, and when the devision was announced they declared they would abide the result. A better feeling prevatls among the dele- kates, and there is every reasun to hope that the bad feeling engendered by the failure of the Confeyence Committees to nsree is in gootl part Uisstpated, and that a@ disruption of the churacter anticipated has been averted, “Ib was prst 10 @elock when the commit tev’s deliberations were ended, The mem: bers then hastened to the Academy of Music, to be in attendance by 1 ofelock, when tho convention fs to be called to order, THE SCENE In the Academy, as Chilrman ex-Senator Platt called the convention to order, was un precedented In the history of politics in the State—Indeod, it might be sald of the United States, ‘Lhe Academy was completely filed from the suditorlum to the sky-gullery, Thero were several liundred ladies In tho proscenium and artists’ boxes, and tho'seena Jooked more Hke that at a matinge than ata political convention, ..
