The chief excitement of the day was over the Sunday ll?|iior plank, until th- matter was settled I In th- convention F.arly In the morning Henry Q.

Charles W rlacnett, Of l'tlci, the chairman of the Republican State Commltte?*?, made the same discovery. This news was soon carried to Mr. Platt and Mr Hlscm k; and they also learned that Mr. Miller would call Upon the convention to approve of s plank favor? ing the enforcement of th- law against the sals of liquor on Sunday if the Commutes on R?solu? tlons should I?, so lnrautlouH as to neglect to put SOCh a plank in the platform. ?M?.

Mil,Hol,LANDS ATTACK ON THE PI.ATPORM Mr Ki.'h carried out Mr Platt's plan of Ignoring the Bun lay liquor <auesrion. No men? tion was made of It in the Republican State platform. The first attack was made upon the platform by John K. Mllholland, of New-York. As a member of the Committee on Resolutions, Mr. Mllholland presente?! a minority report fa? voring the enforcement of the Sunday liquor law. He nlso had a plank Instructing the Re? publican Stats Commute?, to present next year a plan for the enlargement of that committee and Its Improvement as a piece of party ma chlnery. William A. Suiherland, who sat at Mr Platt's si?!?, pretended that he thought Mr Mllholland had committed the awful crime of hinting that the Republican State Committee was an Incompetent body In Impressive tone? he moved that Mr. Milholland's minority report should b? tabled, and ha?l the audacity to claim that the Republican majority of 100,0?*) over Isaac H Maynard and of lf>0,000 over David R. Hill wns due to the genius of the Republican Stats Committee Chairman I.exow put Mr. Sutherland's motion to tabl?a the Mllholland minority report before the convention under? stood clearly Its object. Fully half of the dele? gates, nevertheless, voted against Mr. Suther? land's motion, and y?-t Mr. LeXOW de?lar<-d It carried. He also would not grant Mr. Mllhol I ii..! a yes and nay vote on th? proposition, a right he clearly hnd under the rules of th? Assembly. It was then that S-nator Warner Miller In? sist?, d iit?oii recognition. lie had claim"?! the Moor to speak upon Mr. Milholland's minority report, but Senator I.exow had not seen him. Mr. Miller WOm demand?ad In stentorian ton?*? that h" should be Men, and Senator LOSOW hail a vision and saw him. Mr. Miller pushed his plank demanding the enforcement of the Sun? day laws upon the attention of the convention. I'.-w persons who attended the convention will ever f.rg.t his speech. It was earnest. It was conclu.-, it was spirited and filled with a de? termination to carry the convention with him. The Republican party should stand for th? law. It should support all laws, Sunday laws or laws regarding week-days. S?-r>.?tor Hill had written a letter which he. S?- ?ator Miller, would not h'-sitate i > declare Infamous It was against the enforcement of law. Every one knew that the Sunday ll?|Uor law in New-York had been made the Instrument of gigantic blachmafUng operations. Mr. Miller warned his fellow-Republicans that they could not dodge "line Sunday liquor question, "ff you avoid It here." he said, "you will meet It on the hustings and at the polls. I believe and I think a ma? jority of the delegates to this convention be? lieve that all laws should be enforced, whether they me Sunday laws or other laws." PREFERRED BEING RK5HT TO BEINd COV BRNOR. Tn the course of his speech he aroused keen in? terest in the convention by declaring that he had been toi 1 that day that If lie had not advocated a high license system in IN?*! he would have been elected Governor of the State. "I never have re? gretted for one moment," he said, "that I made that campaign for high license. If I had to choose between being ??overnor and not advoeat Ing high license I would have resigned the Gov ernorahlp." Creat applaUM followed this declaration. He then closed his speech by declaring that a State could n>t surrender Itl sovereignty to a city, and tneref.>re it could n ?t grant to New-York or any other city the privilege, of saying whether it would have th.- liquor saloons .?pen on Sunday. The convention was obviously carried ?ner to the support of Mi. Miller's plank by his speech. Mr. Plat! saw It. and. as already stated, told Hamil? ton Plah, as chairman of the Committee on Reso? lutions, to accept It. Mr. Fish did so, and the plank was adopted by the ?-invention, and thus the platform was maile complete. Tl).- day's work of the convention was made highly valuable to the Republican party In the State by the delivery of a speech in the re?-ess l.'i ween the tlrs; session and the second by Chauncey M. Depew, in which, with brilliant force, he aaealled the Democratic National Ad ,ministration, and with high ability depicted the 'excellent record of the Republican State officers. A resolution was passed by the convention of a very quiet, not to say perfunctory, nature, expressing the hope that Governor Morton would I.?- nominated for Preshlent. It was ob? vious from the tone of this declaration, that Platt Republicans ere not "whooping up" the canvass of the friends of Governor Morton to secure him the nomination for President. THF. noSS'S ?INK VICTORY. Mr. Platt did score one success during the day. He did contrive to ?mother Mr Milholland's reso? lution for- the enlargement of the Republican State Committee. Rut such powerful public sup? port to this idea has been secured by one short campaign that its triumph is assure! in a short tint. J. Slost Fasset! In an able speech showed h??w reasonable was Mr. Milholland's suggestion that the Republican State Committee shoul?i Itself reform Itself, but Mr. Platt's machine would have none of lt.
