Yon should not set as appellate judges You should act local judiciary. It rests with you whether tbo bridge eompaay shall ba granted the franchise. Why should New York be grldlroned for tbe benefit of Brooklyn?

Benator Aepinall is turned down completely. He is aa nothing. Ex-Senator Worth wha had bean in conversation with Ex-Senator Platt, thought Bartlett wonld win, but only after contest.

I also thought there would be several candidates before tbe convention for tbe other places, but believed that in each instance single vote would decide. After Chairman Brookfield had nailed the convention to order, prayer waa offered byjtha Rev. Dr. Backna. Tbe roll was called by Atsem-Dutncta, and a few nbatitnuona ware made.

GOODRICH ASKS A QUESTION. A Pre-Convention Colloquy In Which Hr. Worth In a ispiciii, to ran oitizu.i Btbacusi, Oct. 6. An exciting prn-conven-tion episode, which wee listened to end watched with great interest, began 'in th headquarters ef the Kings Connty delegation, and finished in th corridor of th Yetes Hons shortly before noon today.

Th parties to it war ex-8enator Worth and William W. Goodrich. While the Utter has alwava been allied with tha Platt wing of th party in Kings County hn hat antagonized th ex-Senator einoa reorganization took place and is said to have Unt a helping hand to th Willis men in trying to fore a no-ratohlne Hayornlty candidate on the organization. He approached Worth in tha headquarters of ths delegation and seized th ex-Senatora hand. Ths latter half resented th advance end started ia with th exclamation: What are you backbiting about now? Tbe renly waa in an nndartone.

and Goodrich drew th ex-Sanator to tha corridor. There the conversation was resumed in a loader ton. What did yoa mean by talking abont Wll-eon exclaimed Worth, referring to an interview New York newspaper. And why did you bring my naaqp into it I never saw Wilson bnt twice befpr he was mentioned for Hayor. I didnt, meekly replied Goodrich.

Ye you did," said Worth. I have heard all about it. I never Said anything about him or yon, protested Goodrich. I only said I thought oleta Republican should be nominated. -Isnt Wilson clean man? Can yoa say anything against him demanded the ex-Senator.

Do yen think I wonld be such an as?" waa tbe aignifloant reply, and then the con-venation dropped to so low ton that bystanders could hear no mors.

Byeacbbe, Oot men were prominent t-day at the hotels and other plaoes where the delegates to the Bepnblioan State Convention, which is to open at noon at the AlhambrJ, lathered to diaonss the proceedings in advance. Ex-Senator Worth, as the party laader in Kings County, was naturally the eentral figure, Deacon Richardion was among tha delegates, so were B. M. Johnston, Dr. E.

J. Coombs, Arnold H. Wagner, E. J. Kettenbach, Cbarlst F.

Bernhardt, D. U. Hurley, W. A. Faber, Henry Bonnawits, Geo.

H. Bell, ex-Aasetser Charles Small, Aider-man Peter Heas, Joseph B. Clark, William 'Quinn, Senator Aepinall, Engena Rickerniann, Josoph Benjamin, Thoe, Fodlks, W. H. Caldwell and G.

B. Horton. The delegation has headquarters In the Yates House. -Ex-Congressman William 0. Wallace, of Brooklyn, will not be nominated for Attorney-General.

He announced that he did pot want the plaee. Kings County is not asking for a place en the tioket, bnt will have a delegate-at-large to the Constitutional Convention. There will be fifteen of them end they will 'be chose by a committee of eight that tha chairman of the convention will name. United States District Attorney Jessa Johason is the man who will be Elected to represent Kings. His name was mentibnad to ex-6enator Worth, who said he had no objection, and that Hr.

Johnson would gat the honor. Worth will bo on tba committee of eight The State Committeemen will not be deolded on until ju.t before the convention adjourae. There i. still doubt as to who will represent the Second District to succeed the late W. H.

Beard. W. Smith, of the Twenttueeond Ward, will ba ohosen from tha Third DiSWiot Charles 1L Kevins will bs returned from the Fourth. William A. Booth.of the Twenty-eighth Ward, will be ohosen in the Fifth, and Bobert H.

Johnston may, after all, get baok from the Sixth. Ho claims to have tha delegations from the Eighteenth and Sixteenth Wards, which gives him a majority of tha votes. At tha brief session of th State Compflttes hat night cx-Sonator Worth held W. J. Taylors proxv; Arnold Wagner Bat fox ex-Senator Birkett and Ins Xa As- Oooiabo represented Chairman Battling, of tha County Committee, who was appointed several months sinoe to fill the late W.

H. Beards place. The commutes adopted resolutions on ths death of Colonel Beard. There was an amnsing Incident In connection with Ur. Wagner's appearance.

It waa said that Birkett gave his proxy to Collector Nathan, who in tnrn gave to Wagner, The latter became very much excited when spoken about it, and declared tbit bis name and not Nathans was written on it. He said ha got the document from Supervisor Lockwood, of the Twenty-third Ward, at 10 e'olook on Wednesday night. as near as eonld bs learned, the proxy, in blank, was given to Nathan, who filled It in with Wagners name. Ex-Senator Worth waa informed that the proposition was to have Wagner name tem. men for committee places who were not in the organization.

Ha subserviently saw Wagner, who said ha waa only present to do whatnver Worth wanted him to do. Thereupon no proteat was made, and he sat In tha commutes maeting. Wagner is one ef the Twenty-third Ward Nathan men who did net enroll, and cossc-quentlv la not a member of the organisation. When bis attention waa called to thie, ha said: Ths old State committeemen were elected under the old organisation, and can set according to the old rules. Meaning, presumably, that thay could name proxies not in tke organisation.

He wee un- willing to enter into further explanation. While anting in tha Globe Hotel talking to Tan Citiibh correspondent, sx-Bsnntor Worth recalled the fact tbat Just thirty years ago ha waa in almost the identical apot talking to Thnr-low Weed. It was on the occasion of the Slate Convention of 1863, and temporary chairman opposed to Weed had been elected. Tke latter was greatly worried by the incident, for fear it Saigst have ths sffaot of the sslsetion of delegation to the National Convention opposed to Bite reaominaUon- pl wss the man who enrned tha news of the cheoemg of Weeds opponsnt to ths latter, and he smiled as he recalled the event, together with the fact that not a single national delegate had a thought of asyono bnt Lincoln. The eonventioa wee called te order at neon in tba Alhambra, by Patrick W.

Calhnan, of Oswego. Jobs 8. Kenyon, of Syracuse; R. I Fox and Charles A. Ball, of Alleghany, war temporary secretaries.

The building wss finely decorated. a cnltured gentleman from Brooklyn having been brought on to do ''net. Captain John Palmer, of ''-Will bo re- nominated for Secretary odison B. Cloven, of Warren, for tm. reaanrar, and John Woodward, of Ckautaoqua, for Attorney General, nnless tba fixtures should bo npset There is much doubt about tha candidate for Judge of tbo Court of Appeals Edward T.

Bartlett, of New York, waa regarded aa sure, thing, but the New York delegation hac Some, want John Sabins Smith to get the nomination, Itothe candidate may not bo selected nntil the convention reaohee that order. In that event there la no telling who will win. Jnka Patterson is pirtly responsibla for the Smith boom. Bartlett ia Platta choice, how-over, and may poll through. Tbo nomination for Comptroller is also uncertain.

Tbs place was given to Erie Connty, bnt the delegates seemed unable to fix npon a nemo. They held a consultation and finally agreed on John B. Wobtr, who may or may not aocept, although ho Is Inclined to do so. It was a good deal of a task to gat a man willing to be mentioned for State Engineer, hot eventually Campbell W. Adams, of Oneida, was pooled npon.

lbere le doubt, however, If he will be named by the eon vention. Uh these candidates in doubt, it it among tha probabilities that the oonvention will not flnlah Its work until to-morrow. Iberp will be no delav, however, for tba purpose of learning who tbe Saratoga convention will nominate. There are two conteste in np-State districts to be settled. Nothing haa been seen or heard of tbe propose, demand of Frank YWlliams for the admission of1 hit Eighteenth Ward delegate! from Biooklyn.
