THE DECISION WHICH THE JUDGES HAVE ARRIVED AT AFTER DUE DELIBERATION- LIVE HOSE RULED OUT BE- CAUSE 'CHEY HAD PROFES- SIONAL RUNNERS. The judges of the Hose races and Hook and Ladder races of the State Firemen's Convention have submitted the following report of the protests which were entered against the Live Hose company of North Tonawanda. We, the undersigned, Judges of the Hose races and Hook and Ladder races held on the Fair Grounds on the 20th inst., respectively report as follows to the Executive Committee of the Lock- port Firemen's Association. We find that on July 20 th, 1896, Frank Foster made an affidavit that he was Foreman of the Live Hose Com- pany of North Tonawanda, Niagara County, N. Y., and he gave the names, of eighteen members of his company fromwhom would be chosen the rum ning team to appear in this contest, there having been a protest entered by the other five companies competing in the same races. We have investigated the circumstances and find them as fol- lows: 0 From < an affidavit made by M. D. Goodman, who being duly sworn testi- fied that he was the Captain of the run- ning team of the Live Hose Company above mentioned, he makes a statement. giving the names of the sixteen. mem- bers composing the running team who actually participated in the contest. We find in checking over the names that there were but four of the original spect fied contestants as named in the affida- vit of entry, and that there were twelve members of the team who actually par- ticipated whose names were not ent- ered in the original affidavit, which ac- cording fo,the rules as specified would debar part of the prizes. 'The formal protests that had been submitted to us in writ- ing complaining that among the team of the Live Hose Company were pro- fessional runners, and the Statement is backed up by sworn affidavits and statements so strongly that -in our opin- ion they were not entitled to a place either as contestants for the prizes in the Hose races and Hook and Ladder races, and we hereby declare them as formally debarred from participating in receiving any of the prizes, they hav- ing run under protest. We further respectfully certify and report the following to be the winners in the respective events in the hose race: R Torrent Hose of Ithaca, first; George B. 'Abbott Hose of Salamanca, second, and Niagara Hase of North Tonawan- da, third. Of the Hook and Ladder race: Whit more of Sherburne, first; | Excelsior Hook & Ladder Company of Cortland, second. » Dated, August 224, 1896. Respectfully yours, |, NORMAN SEXMOUR, C. L NICHOLLS. I concur in the above report, except. in so far as it relates to the Hook and Ladder race. 'There was no protest on file against any company in this race, and none was made that I knew of. 1 therefore report that the prize in the Hook & Ladder race should be awarded as follows: . First prize to Whitmore Hose of Sherburne; second prize to. Live Hose Company of North Tonawanda; third prize to Excelsior Hook & Ladder Com- pany of Cortland Dated August 22d, 1896. : 'To the delegate having the most lip | Respectfully yours, _ © GEO. W.

Saratoga, N. Y., Aug. 24.-Saratoga assumed the appearance of a conven- tion town with a rush this murning. Incoming trains brougnt hundreds of delegates and visitors attracted by the convention.. Such an enthusiastic gath- ering bas not assembled to do the will of the Republican hosts of the State for many years. To-morrow will bring nearly twice as many people as are here at present. Clubs with a membership running into the hundreds are, coming. Convention Hall will be taxed to its utmost capacity, admission to which will be by tickets. The preliminariés of the convention are settled. The State Committee wiu meet to-night and agree upon Congressman Frank Black, of Troy for temporary chairman and John Kenyon of Syracuse and R. L. Fox of Oneonta, as secretaries. The commit- tee will adopt the temporary roll of the convention upon which the names of Mr. Platt's friends will be entered in nearly all cases. Contests will be pre- sented in the convention which will be called to order to-morrow by Chairman Benjamin F. Odell, of the Executive Committee. Chairman Hackett is not expected to be on hand to call the con- vention to order owing to his illness. Senator Jolin Raines of Canandaigua is to be the chairman of the Committtee on Credentials which will consider the: contests. It will be remembered in what personal language he addressed Warner. Miller at the meeting of the New York State delegates at St. Louis wher Mr. Platt was chosen chairman of the delegation as against Mr. Miller. The Herkimer County contest is ex- pected to presenta most interesting situation. Mr. Miller says he has the affidavits of 34 out of the 68 delegates to.ithe county convention who swear they voted with him. Titus Sheard claims to have a, like number of affida- |- vits from delegates. The Sheard dele- gates will no doubt be seated. Senator |- | TROLLEY ~CAR° RUNS DOWN A| Raines, as chairman of the Committee on Credentials, will be'the one to up- hold the report of the committee should it be attacked. His remarks at St. Louis regarding Warner Miller are ill- ustrative- of what may be expected should Mr. Miller carry his fight over the heads of the committee into the con- vention. Congressman Lemuel . E. Quigg of New York is.to be the Chair- man of the Committee cn Resolutions. William Barnes, Jr., of Albany, will be chiarman of the Committee on Perman- ent Organization and Stewart L; Wood-, ford will be the permanent chairman of the convention. . It is generally sup- posed that the convention will finish its work by to-morrow night, but Mr. Platt said this that its sessions would undobtedly be extended over un- til Wednesday. 'The convention: hall has been profusely - decorated with American flags, bunting and shields, while the pictures of the national nomi- nees adorn the sides of the stage. The friends of the various candidates for Governor were hustling about the re- spective headquarters as much as usual this morning. Thomas C. Platt, as the likely Republican candidate for Gover- nor, was discussed with renewed inter- est this morning. .He has not, however, changed his determination to decline to run. 'Mr. Platt finished his breakfast before 8:80 o'clock and went immedi- ately to his cottage. He was soon joined by Speaker Fish who said later that hie was not without hope,; as he. did not think: Mr. Platt would. change his decision not to become a candidate. George W. Aldridge was as sanguine as ever, and says that if Mr. Platt sticks to his determination not to enter the convention that nothing can stop his (Aldridge's) ~ nomination. Lieut.-Gov. Saxton thinks Mr. Platt will be the nominee.. Former Congressman James J. Helden, of Syracuse, in speaking of the proposition to have Mr. Platt take the nomination, said: - \Mr. Platt is the only man in Saratoga who has a hand in naming the man to be nominated for Governor by this convention.

McKINLEY'S LETTER. | IT IS EXPEOTED TO BB MADE PUBLIC THIS WEEK. - ' < - New York, Aug. 24The Sun this morn- thority that the letter of William: Mc- Kinley accepting the nomination of the Republican. party for the © presidency will be made public this week. 'The candidate will break a record in send- ing in his letter thus early, ag it has been usually well into September before candidates for the presidency have pub- lished their: formal - acceptance. Mr. Hanna sind the other campaign man- agers, however, have recognized this as an exceptional year. 'The campaign is further advanced than it has ever been before in a presidential year. since the organization. of the Republican party, and it was concluded that it would be well that the candidates should get| their letters and declare themselves in unmistakable terms on the chief issues as soon as possible.. .. Major McKinley will; in his letter, re- cognize the currency issue as the all- Absorbing one of the campaign and will declare himself, in language which can- not be misconstrued, in favor of honest money and the payment in full of all debts, public and private, with dollars worth 100 cents anywhere. Vice-Presi- |/ dential Candidate Hobart has only been awaiting the action of the head of the ticket, and his letter will be made pub- lic immediately following that of Major McKinley. j { Up to the beginning of the fourteenth century, the Popes of Rome were com-. tented with a single crown; in 1303 the first double one was assumed; and in 1364 the present tiara, or triple one, was adopted. . .
