pen THE WASHINGTON Dw REPUBLICAN CONVENTION. fHE OLD TICKET NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION. a Harmony the Order of the Hour—Few De- lays and the Adjournment Was Hastened Along More Rapidly Than Was at First Anticipated. Saratoga, Sept. 18.—The old ticket has oeen renominated by the Republican | State Convention, and adjournment has een taken. Myer Nussbaum, of Albany, presented *he name of John Palmer for Secretary wf State. James F. Gluck, of Buffalo, nominated | James A. Roberts for Comptroller. Col. J. S. Cunningham presented Ad- dison B. Colvin for Treasurer. William M. Griffith nominated State Engineer Adams for a second term. Michael Driscoll nominated Theodore E. Hancock for Attorney-General. All of the nominations were made by acclamation. Judge Celora E. Martin was nominated for the Court of Appeals. Saratoga, Sept. 17.—The most delight- ful weather prevails here to-day, and the delegates to the Republican State Convention are making the most of it this morning. Broadway is crowded with delegates out for a morning stroll and the springs are well patronized. No change has been made in the pro- grammé up to this hour, and the old ticket is going through without a hitch, On the surface there appears to be a hot fight for the nomination for Judge of the Court of Appeals. It is a three-cor- hered contest in which Judge Celora E. Martin, of Binghamton; Jesse Johnson, of Kings, and Judge Pardon C. Williams, of Watertown, are the participants. Judge Martin is said to be Mr. Plati’s choice, and therefore has all the odds in his favor. Johnson’s friends are mak- ing a good fight in his behalf and claim to have over 100 votes which will be cast for him on the first ballot. They hope to land their candidate on the hypothesis that Mr. Platt will consent to relax a lit- tle and placate Kings county and adja- cent districts by permitting the selection of a man from that section of the State for the position. Dr. Carey, of Saratoga, delivered the opening prayer. Secretary Kenyon pro- ceeded to call the roll, beginning with Al- bany county. Mr. Barnes stated that William S. Van Zandt had been substituted as a delegate in place of John Palmer, and Albert McCubrey in place of T. H. Richardson. The roll call then proceeded with com- paratively few substitutions. When Her- kimer was reached the Hon. Warner Mil- ler arose to announce the substitution of John Humphrey for Albert H. Doud. He was applauded. The seat of Mr. Platt was on the end of the first aisle to the left of the con- vention hall, and he had the eyes of the ladies on the platform and the ears of the reporters, with whom he chatted with his customary calculated affability. When New York was called the an- nouncement of the substitution of John E. Milholland for Cornelius N. Bliss In- spired a rousing cheer for both gentle- men. | B. W.Cullinan, of Oswego, Chairman of the Committee on Credentials, offered a resolution from the Central Labor Union. It was referred. A resolution offered by Clarence W. Bowen, of New York, was then una: ously carried by the convention, endorsing Governor Mor- ton’s nomination for President. fter the meetings of the different commit- tees were settled the convention adjourn- ed till 3 p. m. Thomas B. Reed’s name was greeted effusively. The committee on resolutions voted the excise plank of John E. Milholland down by a vote of 210 to 7. Mr. Milholland will present a minority report. Those who voted with Milholland for the excise plank were: Mes Mullin, Burleigh, Miller, French, Smith and Steele. The Platform. The Republican party of New York, by its delegates in convention assem. bled, makes the following declaration of its prince: We rm policy of protection, and we demand such legislation as will afford an ade- quate income for the maintenance « the government, while givi ncour- ment to American ca nerat to American We denounce the Wilson tous income (happ’ pneonstitut the first mpaien for the merican industries re- v . but a ta deficit, failing scores of millions a year to raise the amount of revenue nece for the normal expenses of our nat 2 denounce t ation for its gross nances of the nation, added more than $163,- 000,04 ational debt and the bur- dens of the people and there is every evidence that this increase is to be con- tinued. We denounce the Democratic ad- ministration for its false and misleading statements of the public and for its failure to properly pay the nation’s honest debts that it may be able to present a delusive statement of the treasury’s actual condition. We welcome the dawn of returning prosperity following the Republican vic- ries of 1894—these victories giving as- been rendered powerless to work further destruction to American industries and that the duty of repairing Democratic inroads upon them will be prosecuted | with untiring vigor, and we denounce the a-cempts of the Democratic admin- 3 d | istration newspaper organs to mislead the public as to the real character of the country. With complete return of the Republican party to power and the enact. | men* of such remedial legislation as the conditions plainly require, we confident- ly look for a renewal of the prosperity that marked the quarter century of its government of the country.

Y., Sept. 13— The great factional contest In this county is still undecided. Both factions claim the victory. The oounty committee will stand ten and eleven one way or the other. There will be two oontested delegations. The town of German Flats which ad- joins Herkimer, the home of Warner Miller, went strongly for Sheard, and the caucus of nearly one thousand Re- publicans refused to pass a resolution instructing the delegates to support Miller as a delegate to the State Con- vention, although Miller made a per- sonal fight in this town. Marheim, another Miller stronghold, went for Sheard, and the city of Little Falls was unanimous for him. The lines now are closely drawn, and the fight is between Miller and Sheard to a finish. The struggle is bitter. To- day’s convention will be the stormiest in the history of Herkimer county poll- tics. This is the first time that Warner Miller ever had opposition in this coun- ty, and the result thus far indicates that he is not invincible. —>—______ NO RAILROAD FOR SCHROON LAKE, Judge Cheritree at Glens Falls Refuses to Appoint a Commission. Glens Falls, Sept. 17.—A special term ot County Court was held in Glens Falls on yesterday afternoon, Judge A. J. Cheritree presiding. Anna Fonda and E. A. Savin made application for the ap- pointment of a commission to lay out a road on the shore of Schroon Lake. The application was opposed by Judge Freedman, of the Superior Court of New and by Counselor S. H. Bevins. James A Skiff, of Pottersville, appeared for Adele A. Ogden in opposition to the pro- posed road. Judge Cheritree denied the application, on the ground that the high- way described in the papers submitted was too indefinite. poe HUNTING EACH OTHER WITH RIFLES. Two Georgia Families to Settle a Quarrel with Winchesters, Savannah, Ga., Sept. 17.—Yesterday af- ternoon the male members of the Brown and Stevens families, living near Free- man, Emanuel county, among the most prominent people in that section of the State, and all well-known throughout Eastern Georgia, began a hunt for each other, armed with Winchesters. News of a bloody encounter and the probable kill- ing of several of them is expected hourly. The trouble grew out of a horsewhip- ping affray between Thomas Brown and Benjamin Stevens, resulting from politi- cal matters. eS HENRY OF NAVARRE WINS.

RAILWAY) SOUTHERN FOR THE COTTON STATES AND INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, ATLANTA, GA. Ea = ij The Southern Rail operates nearly five | thousand miles of road in eight of the Southern States and its lines enter Atlanta, Ga., from five | different points of the compass. Washington, | D. C., is the Northern or Eastern terminus of one of its lines, which is operated in connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad, ‘‘the standard rail- | road of America,” between New York through Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.

Solid vestibuled limited trains, with dismissed three colored men who had | through day coaches, Pullman Drawing-room been arrested by officers T. E. English andC.P. Posey. The evidence showed that the officers had assaulted one of the colored men without cause, and Judge Kimball took occasion to give them a good repremand, having com- mitted this assault on this colored man, while he was under arrest and while he was not making any resist- ance. Lawyer J. Moses Ricks, who isa very successful man had a good week last and this week. Mr. Ricks is more or less successful in the prosecution of his cases. There are a certain class of men who stand around the Police Court and do nothing but caps. Officer Flinn has broken up the street corner loafers and his attention is now directed to the cap- pers. Lawyer W. L. Houston, who has been quite conspicous around the courts within the last few days has made himself scarce recently. His wife has demanded his services and he is now defending a new born client. It isa boy. Mr. Houston has never had such a client as this to deal with before and it is a knotty question with him at this time, There is some talk about asking President Cleveland to appoint a col- ored Judge of the Police Court at the expiration of Judge Kimball’s term. There are fquitea number of young men who would be willing to succeed Judge Kimball and would no doubt make their mark on the bench. It is believed that Mr. Cleveland would take kindly to a recommendation of a_col- ored judge. In the event that Mr, Cleveland should appoint a colored Judge, it is not likeiy that there would be a great deal of opposition from the bar asso- ciation, There is more jealousy among col- ored attorneys than there is among any other class of professional men. If colored attorneys would do the right thing by organizing a bar association, it is believed that they would succeed better. Some months ago there was an at- tempt to organ: a bar association, or one was organized with Prof. J. M. Langston, President. It is said that an attempt was made to bring in_poli- tics, hence it died a natural death. There is but little, if any system among the colored attorneys. Some claim to know more law than others and indeed none know more than what should be known. There is but little capping going on at present, as it was said in a statement above. There is not so much standing on the outside of the court house wait- ing and watching for the Police Court van, There is too much red tape business in the lower branch of the Police Court. One would suppose that any lawyer could call out his client if he is de- sirous. Itis not so. You must have a card, either signed by the Jndge or clerk of the court. Up stairs it is different. Anattorney puts his name on a slip of paper and hands it to one of the deputies, and you can see your client without ceremony. Of course there 1s an assistant Judge down stairs to Judge Kimball. This assistant (?) hasn’t politeness enough to give an attorney a_respect- able answer. No doubt Judge Kimball would call him down if his attention was called to it. The attorneys do not like to make complaints ; they believe that these would be judges can injure them in their business, hence take more than they would otherwise. It is not sowith all the lawyers. There are some lawyers who know their rights and there are others who are afraid to differ with the court on law points. Sleepers and Dining-cars.
