Detroit, Mich., Sept. 3.—Detroit 1 gracefully capitulated today to an army composed of fully 5,000 left« r carriers, j , who invaded the city with banners flying * and bands playing- They came from all I 1 j parts of the country to take part in a big parade today and the nth annual con vention of the National Association of letter carriers, which togius its business sessions here tomorrow morning. It is estimated that there were fully 6,000 men in line this afternoon. Large dele gations, each with its own hand at its head, were furnished by Chicago, Cincin nati, Grand Rapids, Columbus and Ann Arbor. Torouto Hamilton and other cities across the border were also repre sented by fraternal delegations. The line was led by John N. Parsons, national president, and other officers of the association. Occupying seats on the reviewing stand were the guestsof honor, among the number being Postmaster General Smith, A. W. Machen, superin tendent of the free delivery system; W. 1-Mens, superintendent of the free deliv ery system of the western district, and Postmaster Gordon, of Chicago. After the parade luncheon was served to the carriers in the Light Guard armory, while the visiting bands gave a concert. This evening there w ill lie a reception with addresses by a number of men of national prominence. The sessions of the convention will oc cupy several days. The most important matter to lie considered is the "pension bill." It is not the purpose of the car riers to ask congress to give them any thing, hut simply to ask for the passage of a law requiring a percentage of their salaries to be deducted, the money so de ducted to he used to create a Tuud, 011 which carriers having served twenty years or more may be retired on half pay. The reports to be presented to the convention will show that the association has made gratifying progre-s both nu merically and financially during the last twelve months. The same is true of the mutual benefit insurance branch of the association. The present officers of the National As sociation are: President, John N. Par sons, New York; vice-president, Charles D. Duffy, Chicago; secretary, K- J. Cant well, Brooklyn; treasurer, Alexander Mc Monald, Grand Rapids. The association was given birth at a conference of letter-carriers held in Mil waukee in August, 1SS9. The idea of the founders was that < nly by a unity ol pur pose and method could the condition of this important body of ii.ixxj federal em ployes he improved. The main object at the time of organization was to secure an increased salary for letter-carriers, and its labors during the first year of its ex istence were chiefly to that end. The first annual convention was held in Bos ton in 1890. A tout fifty cities were rep resented, and there were fifty-three branches of the association. During the last decade the association has increased rapidly in membership until it now em biaces the carriers in all the chief cities of the country Since the Boston gath ering conventions have been held in De troit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Cleve land, Grand Rapids, San Francisco, To ledo and Scianton. The policy of the association is now and always has tocn tocooperate with the postoffice department for the improve ment of the service, and as a the utmost friendly feeling existaiietweenthe officials of the postoffice depamhe^ and the National association. In the lastN^' tort of Perry S. Heath as First Assistant* Postmaster General, he spoke in the highest terms of the association and gave it a great deal of credit for the high state of efficiency existing in the free-delivery ssrvice. Odell for Governor Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 3.—-There is hardly any impartial observer here who I does not believe that the ticket to he nominated by tomorrow's republican state convention will to headed by Ben jamin B. Odell, Jr., and that the other state officers will he nominated with the exception of the lieutenant-governor. The second place on the ticket, is in fact, the only one concerning which there is any doubt. The New York delegation favors the selection of ex-Mayor Schie ren of Brooklyn, hut Mr. Schieren him self has so tar displayed no eagerness for the honor. All of the delegates have not yet arrived, hut there )s a sufficient nuin tor from Syracuse here to keep the talk of State Senator Horace White's candi dacy tofore the public. The leaders of the party are busy at the United States hotel today putting the finishing touches to the platform to be adopted by the con vention. The platform will to exceed ingly brief and will deal largely with state issues.

Kent, slate commissioner of labor in Ne braska, who was sent to the congress as a fraternal delegate by the American Fed eration La tor. Today's proceedings were purely routine and the serious busi ness will l>e taken up tomorrow with the introduction of the usual flood of resolu tions. The session promises to to of more general interest than usual. It is reported that the moderate members of the congress will submit a resolution hit ting at radical socialism in order to strike blow at the recently organized general federation of labor unions, which is cotn l«>sed largely of lator leaders of radical socialistic tendencies and which, more over, has met with such success as to promise to become a strong rival of the older body. But few new topics are to to found on the agenda of the present congress- For the most part the resolutions will relate to the time-honored question of old age pensions, workmeu's compensation, housing of the working classes, general eight-hour day and child labor.
