the prominent persons on the platlorm were
Warner Miller, C. I. Depew, John ii. Staria,
Ambrose 300w, Joesph C. Hand 1!, A. I.
Tenney, James W. Tappsn and John Foord.
Ir. Htsrin presided, and called upon Ir.
Poord,asasmtary, to rssdassrlssolrsso-
lotions, which set forth that the original
hill sent to Albany was drawn up by both
Democrats and Republicans; that it was a
purely business, non-partisan measure do
signed for the lmneilt c! all the people; that
this non-political character ol theentsrprlss
must be maintained or congress will not
sanction the selection of New York as the
site lor the lair; that the commiasion named
in the bill is non—partisan; that the commit-
tees now in charge, which have boas criti-
cised aa Democratic, cease to control the
project alter the commit-ion takes charge,
and that tin-re is no reason for dragging
politics into the matter in any way.
The Resolutions adopted.
The resolutions were unanimously adopt-
ed and the audience gave three cheers. Iir.

the meeting without receiving wrmialon
from the new guardian of the Republican
party of New York state, Hon. W. K
