Saratoga, Sept. 18.-The ltepubllcan state convention was called lo order at 12:30 o'clock by William DrooStaelit, chairman of the state committee, nud proceeded to business with .despatch. Congressman Lemuel Qutgg nr New York was made temporary cualrinau, the usual committees were appointed nud contests were referred to tuo com mittee on credentials, and at 1MU o'clock a recess was taken until 4:HU p. in. During tho recess the committee on credentials decided: unanimously against the Miltltollauil delegates irom New York city. In the Albany contest the regular faction represented by State Committeeman Barnes got a la- vurable decision. The contest between the Henly-Moore factions in the First assembly district, Now York city, was settled by the state committee by giving each side half (the representa tion. Ac both sides are for .Morton, this docs not alter the vote for Morton and makes peace In the family besides. At 6 o'clock the convention' was again called to order and Warner Mil ler ivus made permanent) chairman. This platform was presented and, adopt ed without dtecusstott. Upon questions of national politics '* says: "The Itcpubllans of New York, In convention assembled, extend hearty greetings to tile Republicans of Penn sylvania, Rhode Island, pregon, Ver mont and Maine for their prompt and just judgment on an incompetent Dem ocratic odmlulotiuition.

It hastened to enact an odious Income tax force bill, empow ering deputy collectors to enter the homes of citizens and compel them toy threats of ofilektr summone3es and heavy penalties to disclose their pri vate affairs. "IVe denounce Northern Democratic con gressmen for permitting Southern mem bers to protect the chief products of their section while removing or largely reduc ing protective duties on tho product or the North, thus permitting the South, by le. gal enactment in time of peace, to do, by Illegal enactment in time of war. And, we especially denounce the Democratic represenlathes from this, the greates; manufacturing state In the Union, whose annual manufactured products exceeds more than the entire South by JCOO.OOn.O'jO lor Ihetr treachery and cowardice In aid ing the passage of a sectional tariff bill that has crippled the industries and re duced the <wuget) of the workingmen and that levies a tax on Incomes which Is a , tax on property.

Columbus, O.. Sept. 18.—The adher ents of Senator Brice will control the Democratic state convention tomorrow bv two to bne. This much is certain. Rut the opposition to the junior and which Is bised on his antl-admlnls- tratlon rauise In the recent ^jriffcon- test. is compact, aggressive t»l J*“* r good JeadenThlo. and because It U out- nuntbered It does not follow that It will accept the peace and harmony pro- gramme of the Brice followers without putting itself on irecord. Much depends upon the action of the committee on resolutions, which went Into conference at 9 o’clock with every prospect of an all-night session. If the representatives of the senator upon thla committee will agree on a resolution unqualifiedly In dorsing President Cleveland, togethsc with the administration tariff bill, nnd expressing regret that it. had to give way tb the senate substitute, the oppo sition 'will' <be content; otherwise, ac cording to the present programme,there will 'be a minority report in -which the senator’s course will be handled with out gloves, and a light will be precipi tated on the floor of the convention. •In this event, say the minority, many of those now counted aa among the senatoa'’ri supporters will .put themselves on record with the other side. In a political sense, it has bee ’one of the liottesT days that ever preceded a state gathering oX the Ohio Democracy. The making of a Hoket 1ns been entire ly lost sight of, and. contrary to nil precedent, not -a single candidate for any of the places to >be filled ha3 opened headquarters. -Excitement and nctiylty alike are concentrated upon the elev enth hour attack upon the junior sena tor. His opponents were fliwt on the field, but his friends were close at their heels. Pstmaoters. special treasury agents, .bank examlnere, collectors of Internal revnue and other officials came pouring In from all quarters of the state! Col. Ike Hill, doorkeeper of the national house hf representative*, and B. W. Layton, -assistant sergeantrat- armo of the United Staten senate, were early on hand to assure all comers that the antagonism to the senator was merely "a flash In the pan.” Vetefan Democrats who have not been at con ventions in years put in an appearance to "give Cal. Brice a lift,” as most of them put It; still there were enough Democratic senators nnd representa tives of the general assembly that elect ed 'Mr. Brice to the senate to make a good sized reunion. 'Newly - arriving delegates regarded as "on the fence” 'were taken In hand by committees from) Alliance, Cuya hoga and other strong aml-Brlce dis tricts and treatell 'to urgumen't ond per suasion 'Hn altopAbhlc doses. The prin cipal (arguments adduced by the opposi tion were that 'President Cleveland nnd -the udmli'nltftratioin and «ihe 'tariff bill were entitled to Indorsement If the prevtiotte declarations of i'hc Ohio De mocracy -were :u> be m-airetained—that Benialtor -Brice was an obstructionist; -that his course in the -senate (has cre ated genera l dias-atlafuietian ii'hTOughout tihe •tote itihat .tihe opposition to Brice •came from the pcopler and was an ef fort of the rank tan-d file ito discipline •ihe bosses a/nd assort control, bind ihfl't H was fur better to have the fight over and done -with now than to carry it Into next yeur when dhe party would -luive a gubernatorial and Legislative fight on Its hands. These arguments were effective in many cases, and -when Congressman Tom L. Johnson, fresh from Ills renominating con vention, ernne marching at the head of a big delegation from his home district, it looked as though there would bea stam pede from tho senator’s banner. But his friends -were not only staunch and numerous, but Influential to boot, and they had little difficulty in keeping tne main linos of their forces well in hand. Tonight the antis have given up all hope of controlling the convention and will he contant if they succeed In forcing an expression of their opinions upon the record. About the coolest man of the crowd that besieged the Neill house In andout, was senator Brice himself. I arrived from the £>ast shortly before o'clock and eeta/bllshed headquarters in the parlor from yvhich Sherman conducted his last and moat memorable senatorial campaign. Here, he was in to all corners, but he seduously avoided all reference to the fight against him. The anti-Brice element was considerably chagrined at the attitude of Lawrence T. Neal of Chill Icobhe, the party nominee for governor last fall, and who was the author of the famous tariff plank in the platform of the laat national convention ami who wa*s looked upon as one of their turorucent allies. Instead of this, he took occasion early In the day to express the opinion that the senate bill was a step in the right direction, and that no one wno voted for It should be condemned. BRECKINRIDGE DEFEATED. . Lexington, Sept. 18.—'The official count of Fayette county was completed at noon to day, giving Breckinridge 20G plurality over Owens. There is no contest or protest of any kind.

Baltimore, Sept 18.—The Jury In the 330,- 000 damage case brought by George W. Lucke ain’t the clothing cutters and trimming association (Knights of Labor) for causing him to lose a lucrative situa tion, brought In a verdict of I2J6W In favor of thJ coo*rlain inL Washington, Sept. IS.—Supervising Architect O'ltourke occupied his desk this morning in the treasury depart ment, as usual, ns if his resignation had not been asked for. Ofliclals ond others on hushiess came and went, and be tween three visits O’ltourkc lliled In his time In drafting Ills letter of resig nation. , "Of course x will resign," said Mr. O'Uourke; "if not today, wltlilu a few days. Until I do, I lwvo nothing to any.”, Tlio matter created a sensation in loo treasury department nud was a lively topic of conversation. It was not, how ever, a surprise to those who are in the contldence Of high ofliclals, hut came as a bomb to the clerks iu the bureau, who did not know the strained relations between tho architect nud his Imme diate subordinate ofliclals. These dis turbed relations began six mouths ago, nnd at that time It was expected that tho event that happened yesterday would then occur. Mr. Kemper, the chief clerk, wroto a letter to Secretary Carlisle at it o’clock yesterday afternoon, In which ho stated that the relations existing be tween himself and tho architect had come to such a point that ho would either have to protect lilmself person ally against what lit> considered Insults or else to sever his connection with tho olliee la case Architect O'Rourke was to remain. Prior to this 'friction lmd occurred between the contract clerk, Judge Fleming and tho supervising architect. This matter had been brought to tlio attention of Secretary Carlisle. Upon receiving the letter of Mr. Kemper, Secretary Carlisle, at -1 o'clock yesterday, demanded the 'imme diate resignation of >Ir. Oltourke. 'llils morning" Secretary Carlisle received»a letter from' Architect O'Rourke, In which' ho states that he had received the demand for nig resignation with "amazement.” He recalled the state ment, which ho said the secretary had made to him early In Ills administra tion. that should any charges he made against him, as was not unusual in one occupying that position, ho would he given an opportunity to meet these charges before any action was nwtfa by the head of tho deportment. This, ho alleges, has not been done. Mr. OTUmrko further states that ho has known for several months that a conspiracy existed In his own olilee to bring about Ills downfall, nnd de nounces the Conspiracy iu strong lan guage. Secretary Carlisle replied within a few minutes after receiving tills letter tills morning Unit for many monum he had known that the arcltect's otllco was In a demoralized condition, but he hail hoped order Would' he brought out of the apparent chaos. Instead or im provement, however; the ofllco lias been going from bad to worse, until lie felt impelled to take Uie action he had, which had not been done, however, without much hesitation ami a carotin consideration -of all tho circumstances leading to it. Secretary Carlisle asked! Mr. O'Rourke I'toit If he had nay evidence of a oonsplraey exlsllng In ills office or In the depirtirent against himself to submit ttwlt evidence :o him and he would tavasBsate0: and make out pun- lshuneri't to.file guilty parties. Th1a letter was delivered -to Mr. O'Rourke at about 11 o'clock toU.iy and Mr. O’Rourke t'hen began the prepara tion of tils loiter of resignation, in Which he will detail, It Is said, the facts of tho alleged conspiracy stgavnJt him. giving names and U'atia.
