crat and Chronicle" as clerk OF the convention
4 war veteran w W. Bennett was httngy
selected for scrgeAnt-at-arms.
The delegates TO the convention were arriving
In Albany by almost every passenger train to-
day. Most Of them were Republicans. the Demo-
Gratis apparently feeling little interest in body
I'm which they are 10 be in the minority. At
nightfal nearly all Of the Republican delegates.
nlncty-eght I'm number had arrived. Early In
the day 1t became evident that Mr. Choate was
the choice by large majority for president and
therefore the friends OF Thomas q. Alvord and
Milo VI. Acker who had thought OF pressing
them for the place. ceased to suggest their nom-
nation Mr Chdate arrived by an afternoon
train and engaged n paror at the Kenmore
Hotel. which soon became the headquarters Of
the leading Republican members Of the conven-
ton Mr.. Choate himself was the centre Of at
traction and received visits from all the Re
publican delegates
In the course OF the afternoon Elihu Roo Milo
NJ Acker. Commodore p Vedder. William II.
Steel. John L. Davies. Edward Lauterbach. John
NJ Francis Judge J Rider Cady and others met
in Mr.. Ch0ate's rooms and called conference
FOR the evening and adopted order OF proce-
dure FOR IT, At this conference Mr.. Choate stated
that there was no truth whatever in the report
that he favored treating the Constitutional Con-
yentIon as non-pariisan body and giving the
Democratic members equal representation on
committees. The Republican party was In the
majority In the convention. was responsible for
It's government. and must assume that response
bllity by taking a majority in each committee.
Mr. Choaies sentiments were approved by all
present and the fact was recalled that as the
leading Republican counsel for the Republican
party in 1891. AZ the time when the Democratic
party was attempting 20 steal the State Senate.
Mr.. Choate had fought vigorously in the courts
for the rights Of the Republican majority at the
ballot box thus endangered. /, was Mr.. Choate,
by the way who in 1891 secured from Judge Ed
wards the mandamus which stayed the hand Of
the Democratic State Board OF Canvassers for
three weeks. and It was in the course OF this
interval that Isaac II. Maynard stole the election
returns from Dutchess County.
In honor of the Constitutional Convention the
Assembly Chamber has been handsomely deco
rated. Back Of the Speakers desk has been
hung the coat Of arms OF the state and the
National coIors have been draped around II.
Here was where the Republican conference was
held tonight. Many prominent Republicans
present. among them being Controller
Roberts. Secretary Of State Palmer. State Treas
urer Colvln. Attorney General Hancock. Senator's
Saxton. Stapleton and Parsons State Engineer
Adams and William Barnes jr. The venerable
Thomas G. Aivord occupied his old chair upon
the main aisle Of the Assembly Chamber. while

Mr. Choac took a seat in the well just before
the Speakers desk Mr.. Alvord raped the as
semblage to order with his and nominated
Milo NJ. Acker for chairman of the meeting.
Mr. AciSer was escorted to the chair by John NJ.
Francis. Of Troy. and Henry r. Durfee. of clifton
Springs.
Upon taking the chair Mr. Acker said;
"Gentlcincn, six months ago no Republican
dreamed that a Republican would be the chair
man Of the dominating caucus. 1t was sup
posed that the other fellows would caucus here.
But the people have decided otherwise by a
large majority and we are here to DO their
work And | have the pleasant duty OF
asking what Is your pleasure?
Henry r. Durfee and Lewis Mckinstry were
then named for secretaries and confirmed
MR.. ROOT NoMINATEs MIR. CIoATE.
Ellhu Root then put Mr.. Choate In nomination
in an eloquent speech. saying In part: Fellow
delegates, although the work Of a Constitutional
Convention is essentially and fundamentally
done in behalf OF the people Of the whole State.
and is done for generations present and to come.
and although the highest duty OF chairman Is
that OF fairness and non-par,!sanship In con-
ducting tie affairs Of this august tribunal never
theless the people have put on the shoulders OF
the Republics party the responsibility FOR sue
cessftl work in this convention and. this being
the case the Republican party must assume
charge OF the organization OF the convention.
With these unquestonable circumstances con-
