At the appointed hour Chas Tracoy, chairman of the County committee, called the convention to order and -named Hon. Robert Hoes for chairman, .Chas. Essolstyn was made secretary* Nomination being in order, Edwin H. Howe of Kinderhook nominated Al bert S. Callan of Valatie for Assembly. He referred to national and state mat- tera and urged all present to pull to gether for the prosperity which the suc cess of Taft and Hughes would assure. He told of Mr. Callan's ability and popularity; of the fact that last year when a candidate Valatie gave him the largest majority ever accorded any one and in closing described his as \one of tho brightest sons of the good old town of Kinderhook.'' The naming of Mr. Callan was followed by great ap plause and after his. nomination had been seconded by J.*!Frank Chace' he was chosen by a ballot cast by the sec retary. ,: Judge Cady namedi Robert O. Payne of Hudson for sheriff and he received the unanimous vote of tho convention. After a short recess for the purpose of allowing the school district dolegates to agree on candidates, Dean Best nom inated German Snyder of Livingston and ex-Assemblym|SBi<3inclair named W. Porter Darrow of Chatham. These nominations were made unanimous. The County committee \was empowered to fill any vacancies and act under section sixty-six. Tho candidate for Congress, Hamil ton Fish, and the -nominee for State Senator, John T^Bohlosser, were in at tendance \at the convention and were enthusiastically received when called upon for speeches. Capt Payne and .candidate A. S. Callan also spoke. Tho latter spoke of his losing fight last year and thanked the convention for its confidence in naming him after^be-'i ing defeated. He.touched, upon national and Btato affairs, rofering to Taft and Hughes and it was in naming the latter that the Governor's \name was given great applause. '' We believe,'' he said \in that great war secretary, William H. Taft, and in that great, Bturdy, strong Governor, Charies E. Hughes.

Y., correspondent of the New YorB^un: \\He turned' his back on the big towns of the railway lines, got out of-sound of bands and cheering partis ans and adventured along the country roads into the heart of Cortland and Chenango counties. He stumped in half a dozen villages where a Democrat ic candidate for office is as strange a sight as a dromedary. He talked to and shook hands with groups of farm ers whose Bepublicanism was crusted all over them as obvious as their Sun day coats. Said an old fellow with a black smith 's apron swinging to his knees \Never voted the Democratic ticket in my life Governor.'' Then he added reflectively, \and I nover will.\ \Good said Mr. Chanler, \I hate a man who softsoaps you with one hand while he's looking for a chance to swat you with the \brick he's got in the other.\ At tho general store in the village of Salon in the crowd who heard Mr. Chanler's brief talk was one who lis tened doubtfully while the others were applauding and eyed the candidate sharply. \Shake hands with Gov. Chanler, Jim,\ said a neighbor. \Wont said Jim decisively, \That ain't no more Chanler than I am. I beard tell he was a boy.'' Jim was convinced by the candidate himself and warmed up amazingly. At Cincinnatus a crowd of 500 farm ers and townsmen were waiting. Mr. Chanler after a swig of Republican sweet cider from a Republican orchard and tendered him by the wives of sev- oral Republican citizens of Cincinnat us, epoko for ten minutoB. Ho said that he was going to run his campaign clean ly ond decently without abusing Gov. Hughes. \I like tho Governor, and I think he likes mo,\ said Mr. Chanler. \We differ on certain poBcies and I ask your support because I believe I represent tho right policies. You know that par ties are apt to grow careless of the people's interests if kept in office too long. That's the case with the Repub lican party now.
