PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS, Governor Hill Denounced For a Too Free Use of the Veto Power— An Enthusiastic Con« vention, The Situation Alarming. Saratoca, N. Y., August ~The repub- lican state convention was called to order shortly after noon by Chairman Knapp of the state ublican committee, General Benjamin F. Tracy was clected temporary chairman, and on taking the chair be ad ssed tho convention at considerable length. During the course of his speech cy suid: “You meet under of the gravest importance, 1864, when the democratic national larcd in its platform nion was a failure and should be brought to a « Not sinc convention solemnly de that the war for the that it presented o that presented by dent Cleveland’s fre trade and the Mills bitl. The isgueof 1564 iny the existence of the nation: the issuc of 1355 involves the continued existence of our man ufacturing industries and our commercial prosperity. The situati is alavming, Nothing in the future of the nation can, I ap prehend, be more certain than this, that if the policy of legislation indicated’ by the president’s free trade messuge and the Mills bill becomes the permanent policy of the country, the nation wiil suffer a disaster second only to that it would have sustained by the triumph of the rebellion itself.” 0 this sup; emergency New York agzain beeomes the pivotal state ple are made to see clearly, and fully. the danger thi 1ts us the issue is not doubtful. m of the conven- tion, permit me to tulate you that the present campaign finds the acting un- der a wide and ugited 1c ship, and, when united, the republicans of New York are, and always were, invincible,” This resolution was adopted at the close of General Tracey's speech, In view of the nt developments before the congressional investigation committee, showing the abuse of our natu ation and immigration laws, we desire and urge a thorough revision of said laws, in order that our country and our fellow citizens may be protected from the pauper and criminal asses of other countries. The secretarics and committees were then named and a recess was had until 4 o'clock. General Batchellor became manent chairman of the convention upon 1ts reassembling, After eulogizing the repub. lican candidate, Generdl Batchellor used these words: “Against such leaders the de- mocratic party only offers us ‘Clevelanaism,’ Perhaps 1 should add that this is palliated by the venerable Ohio illustration of modern democracy. And again, in referring to the democra hesaid: “They have interjected a whole section of the confederate constitution into the democratic platform and have amplificd their pernicious doctrines by a message to congeress and bills for a revision of the na- tional income, T'ne convention, after a resolution of re- spectto Sheridan yroceeded 1o nom.- inations for gov State Senator George 1. Sloan first gained the floor and placed in nomnation Hon. Warner Miller. This name was seconded by State Senator Bas- sett, secretary of the republican national committee, and chairman of the senate com- mittee that has been investigating the ague- duet crookedness in this city, There was no er nomination and Mille chosen by acclamation, and pending the candidate’s ap- pearance prosidential electors were chosen William H. Sewurd of Auburn, N. Y., son of thie late secretary of state, is one of the clect- ors ag large. Upon being vresented amid cheers to the convention, cx-Senator Miller, after accept- ing the nomination and thanking the dele. wates for it, said that he accepted only be- cuuse he felt that the republicans of this stute were then and now a unit for the com- ing conte He congratulated his colleagues that the coming campaiga was to be one of principles, and the party was 1o be congi luted that the Chicago convention had given a platform of the broadest Awericanism, and one which distinetly announced the doctrine of protection, Out of the four candulates for lieutenant governor, Colonel 8, V. R, Cruger, one of the old Knickerboc of New York City, was chosen and ratified by acclamation and with tremendous cheers and shouts for “the soldier ticket.” Judge Rumsey was nominated for judge of the court of appeals. Colonel Cruger thunked the convention for lis nomination, and ex-Congressman S, F, Puyae, of Auburn, presented the platform: ‘After uccopting the Chicago platform and ratifying the nominations of Harrison and Morion, the platform says: The republican senators in congress, in rejecting the treaty relutive to the fisheries negotiated with Great Britain, acted in accordance with thedictates of just patriotism, and correctly asserted Auvicrican rights and national houor, while the message of President Cleveland, trans- yitted on the 23d of August, is a confession inistratieh has been grossly neg- it of its duties i the protection of the Aucrican fisheries, and has invited new an- noyunces and aggressions on the part of the Citiudians by @ failure to make & manful protest and to employ peaceful means of self- dofense. The republican party favors a for- clen policy which shall do no wrong to the wewiest neighbor, and shall brook po indig. 1ty from any power on earth, and, by insist- ing on fair play on ses und land, shall, hrouph justice, insure peace with all nat tions, ‘ihio fourth plauk commends the acts of the Jogivluture of 1588 in enacting laws for the Dost interests of the people, and then says: ‘I'le examination into the conduct of affairs in connection with the New York aqueduet, still in progroess, has already exposed abuses whih call for reparation, and has given warn g how the campaign expenses of the dewocratic governor may be met out of con: tracts paid by the taxpa) 3 Liftk—The purity of the ballot, security of clections, and a guarautee of honest returns are the foundation of our free institution, und ;oo citizens of all parties should gladly aid 10 all practical measures for promotin thesy conditions and checking all bostile and corrupting influences.

Ninth—We favor the enactment of prison laws, which, while providing for the employ- ment of prisoners, shall prevent the product of their labor from competing with that of wage workers, The reading of the y Payne was received in s tion, but when Chairman Batehellor put the question there was a terrific shoet of “ayes’ and the convention adjourned siné die.

Mr. Crisp, it will be remem- bered, fought the adoption of and defeated the conference report on the Omaha public building il “I weunld advise you Omaha,"” said Mr. Dors “Wh, inquired Mr. Crisp. “They have a rail out there toride yqu on,” said Mr. Dors adding: “But aren't you ally ashamed of yourself now " Mr. Crisp said he opposed the bill only be- cause it made the appropriation too large, but he that he understood the new confer- ence committee would reduce the amoun tH be made available to 600,000, and if it did the bill would pass, “It oceurs to me, not to go out to said Mr. Dorsey, “that if you had known how you were slapping the administration in the face you would not have made the objection you did. Mrs. Cleveland owns a lot just across the street from where the public building is to be put up, and the improvement proposed would en- hance the value of her property.” SI am glad you told me,” replied Crisp, *but it is too late now. Mrs, Cleveland must suffer with the rest of you.

Parties who saw the collision state that the scab engineer on the passenger was to blame for not siacking in answer to sig nals from the brakeman on the freight train There wps but one eye witness of the colli- sion cxcept myself and that was the man the railroad company employs for pumping water into the tank. The freight brakeman signaled the passenger train 1o stop and re- ceived an answer from the engineer that his signal was seen, and then gave a signal for them to come ahead, which resulted in the wreck. The enzineer never left his engine until he had all the steam out of her and her fire was also out. The brakeman was the man in fault, I think., The dumage I think would not exceed £1,000. E. L.

[Copyright 1888 by James Gordon Bennett.] Panis, August 98.—[New York Herald Cabl wecial to Tue Bee]—A pew sub- marine boat intended to revolutionize naval warfare is to be launched at Toulon Septem- ber 15, The boat is designed by M. Ragote, the government engincer, She is so con- structed asto be able to dive comvletely be neath the keel of the largest iron clad,and by means of a special apparatus fasten explo- sive cartridges to the sides of the enemy's vessel and is enabled to mamntain commnni- cation with explos; artridges so fixed by means of a steel wire that the cartridge can be exploded by electricity. This new engine of destruction combines all the req n- ditions of speed, steering capacity,submersion emersion, ete. The vessel is soventeen me- ters long between perpendicular,by 150 metres beam. She is enabled to dive under water to any given depth by means of a series of reservoirs that receive water in variable quantities, Reservoirs of compressed air allow air for breathing purposes to be re- newed at will, Horvizontal steering is eficeted by anordinary rudder, Vertical steering is effected by a double rudder working on double hinges attached to the sides of the strn. A little cupola five centimetres in diameter is built on the bow, dnd it is in this cupola, provided with glass windows, that the oficer in command dirccts the vessel, The entire crew is an officer, two engineers, and a sailor. The motive power consists of Kreb's eleetric machine, fifty-horse power, with cor ir apparatus, Prepara- tions are bemng made for launching this for- midable little yessel, and a railway is now bewg laid to convey her from the arscnal of Meurillon to the sea near the steam saw building. RS " B Another Communist Drops Dead. |Copyriaht 1858 by James Gordon Bennett. Parig, August 285 [New York Herald Cable—Special to Tue Bee.]—A strange fa- ity seems to follow ex-communists, The other day Gener ndes, while standing on his hind legs making fiery speeches to the mmune, dicd by bursting a blood vessel, Now, yesterday, Citoyen Cenaey anothc nt of the commune, was standing on his hind legs making communist specches to a socialist crowd at No. 19 Cite la Charriere, Paris, when he suddenly turned pale, to the great consternation of the audi- ence, and just as he uttercd the words, “I1 ney apas de dieu,” down he fell, dead as a hammer. The cause of death was the burst- mg of a blood vessel. A Promising Musician. [Copyright 1855 by James Gordon Bennett.) Loxpox, August 2 [New York Herald Cable—Special to Tur I ]—The London press to-day generally give pleasant tribute o the memory of young Fullerton, the son and namesake of his father. I quote one ed- itorial pa h from the Globe death of Mr. William Fullerton America has lost one of the most promising of its musical composers. . His opera, ‘The Lady of the Locket,’ was, if lacking in originality, very tuneful and graceful, and of his unacted picce, called *Waldemar,’ the most encourag- ing anticipations have been formed.” e A COLOKRADO CHARACTER. He is Shot Down on His Ranch by a Young Man. SALIDA, Colo., August 28.—[Special Tele- gram to Tnr Bre.]—Information has reached there that Pap Ryland, who owned a ranch on the Sweet Water and was a character in western Colorado, died at his ranch last evening from-a bullet wound, inflicted by C A. Babcock of whom very httle is known ex- cept that he is a large man, about thirty-five years old. Babeock, went to Glenwood Springs and surrendered himself to Deputy Sheriff Little. He claims he shot Ryland in sclf-defense, but his stories about the affair are very conflicting us to detail. Bab- cock mounted a horse, rode to Doterso and caught the train for Glenwood S in the nick of time to save being ly Ryland’s neighbors. James M. son of the murdered man, is u journalist and is at present connccted with the Ute Chief at Glenwood Springs. Pap Ryland's 1anch has for man been a land mark and stopping place for travelers and hunters and his hospitality was proverbial. He wus the last remnant of the white men who had the temerity to piteh their tentson the hunting grounds of the Utes when this was their undisputed terri- tory, He was of an irascible temperament, but it is very much doubted whether he at- tempted the life of Babeock. e THM UTES. They Are as Unwilling to “Move On" as the Sioux. Taxacio, Colo., Angust 28.—[Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.J—Judge Smith, chairman of the southern Ute commission, returned to Ignacio last night from Amargo, where he went on Saturday to consult and tali with Chief Aquillairo, of the Jicarilla Apaches. The Apache chicfs have been excrting their influence to persuade the southera Utes to re- main on their present reservation, and other interested parties have been at work to keep them there. The latter are cattlemen who make use of the fine grazing lands of the pro- posed reservation. Judge Smith reports little progress und says the 1 witl be com- pelled to adopt diffc sif they hope to succecd. F'rom the personal observations and study of your correspondent it looks s if the Utes could not be persuaded to go un less they are very highly paid for so dolng. The commission seem to have done all in their power by giving the Indians the gratu- 1y fund which was overdue some ten months and arranging other matters, After receiv- ing the gratuity money the Indians but once to the effeet that they wou anyway. They are wily fellows. The Du rango peoplé are especially anxious and a determination s expressed that the Utes shall go, peaceably if they will, but they must go. They greatly disappointed at the result reiched by the commission. Some of the most hot headed talk of organizing militia companies and driving the Indiuns off, but this, of course, would be folly, The only rational way to solve the problem is to offer them enough money 1o build a house on the new vation. ~As Ignacio suid in his recent h: “Itis our land.

THE MESSAGE ONE OF THEMy Other Sensational Proclamations Exe pected Before the Close of the Campaign—Things to be Covered Up. Consulting With Cleveland. WasHINGTC August 28.—[Special to Tirm Bee. | —The president's message, relating to the fisheries treaty and the prospective diffls culty with Canada, is not the only sensas tional proclamation that the people of Wushe mglon expect to see issued bofore the end of the impending campaign. Almost nightly, for six weeks, there have been, at Oak View, when the president wus at his country home, or the white house, when the chief execus tive was there located, consultatlons with the principal politicians of the democratio party. William L. Scott, Calvin 8. Brice, William H. Barnum, Senator Gorman and other men of less character, but more sensationalism,have been keeping the dust fiys ing on the road to Oak View or the door open to the president’s private room at the whita nouse, and have been pouring into the chieg exccutive's car all kinds of propositions ins tended to surprise the country and thwart the republican managers. One of the princis pal efforts the administration will make bes tween now and the middle of October will ba :rt public attention from the real issue ampaign. Reports continually come W York to the effect that the foreign- born citizens are flocking almost solidly to the republican party on_account of the vacil- lating foreign policy of the administration, The incident with Canada is not the veal reas son of the unpopularity of Mr. Cleveland with men of foreign birth but American citi zeuship. The course of Minister Phelps.who is trying to keep pace with the dudes of Lon- on disgusted all true Americans. The mprisonment of severai Irish-Ameri English dungeons, and the atrocitie mitted on American citizons in - France, Spainand other foreign countrie during the last two years, couplo with the very feeble efforis ' made by Secretary Bayard “to get apologies,” but not releases, have all contributed to_thoroughly disgrust v one who is proud of his citizen- ship. It is common for Americans who are familiar with the vr lings at the state de- partment to observe when they take out passports to go abroad that the document, which costs £, is only good 1o identify the nolder; that it affords no protection whate ever, and that it is a failure, Then the tariff question is playing havoo with the administration among the laboring men and mechanics in_all states, especially in the east. It is stated that at least 50,000 labor votes have marched over in a body from the democratic column to the republis can ranks in New York alone, and that the Mills' bill has led to this change. If the president could detract from these two features of the campaign, and ate. tract public attention to the feigned or ted vigorous foreign policy, he would feel more cheerful over the outlook. The republicans in congress are determined that he shall not receive assistance from them im his efforts to change his course. They pros pose to hold him to his record, and say thas the future can be judged by the past. No promise of protection to Amnericans abi of American fishermen, of Awmerican inte- rests generally will answer the purpose now. Peoplc can point back, only a few months, when the flag was outrazéd on foreign soil and atrocitics were committed againt Ameris can_citizens without even an effort being made to secure an explanation or apology. - A PARNELL DY FENSE FUND. Financial Aid Soiicited For the Irish Leader. ] LiycoLy, Neb, August 28.—President Fitzgerald, president of the Irish National League of America, has addressed a lote ter to the different state delegates, He ree viewed the events which led to the London Times-Parnell imbroglio, stating that the proprictors of the Times and the Members of Salisbury's cabinet would not hesitate at any flnancial or moral sacrifice by which Mr, Parnell's suit against the Times would be neutralized in its effects. In such a eritical position, says the letter, Parnell must not be left to fight unaided. The Irish race must not permit their leader to fail in his effort to secu fair hearing of his cause for the mere want of funds to carry on what must be an expensive suit. Fitzgerald concludes his letter with an appeal for the inanguration of a Parnvell defense fund 1n every state withe out deluy.
