NOMINATE A TICKET.

New York Prohibitionist* Name Their Standar I Bearer*. Saratoga, N. Y., Sept. 5. —After being in session over two days the New York State Prohibition convention late yesterday afternoon closed its labors in a far less harmonious condition than when it convened Monday evening. The platfbrm was the' bone of contention. The committee reported one with planks sufficient to satisfy either a republican or democratic assembly and this was finally adopted. The nominations were made in ten minutes. They are as follows: Secretary of state, William W. Smith; controller, Fred B. Devendorf; treasurer, William R. Rathbun; attorney-general, W. Martin Jones; engineer and surveyor, W. R. Miles; justice Court of Appeals, E. C. English. Volney B. Cushing of Maine addressed at great length the Prohibition State convention. He argued that all political parties must give way until the great principle of prohibition is forever settled, and added that prohibition is the foremost principle now before the country. Chairman Mead called for $7,200 for campaign purposes, which was subscribed in open convention.
