After the platform had been completed
the rumblihg OF a coming storm concen-
trated about Mr.. Miller. He served no
fice on the leaders that the excise issue
must not be lodged. but sQuarely met.
and that the party must go on record
either in favor OF or against the Amer
lean Sabbath.
He was backed UP by a great many
Of the up State delegates. who were
loud in demanding an open expression
on the excise problem. They want the
party to nail UP a big blue flag. SO
that 1t will be seen by everybody.
The dodgers who framed the evasive
excise plank tried to call Miller of. but
he wouldn't be called and at the last
minute. the plank dodging the question
was left out by Mr.. Platt's orders. to
permit fair hght, which will be made If
Miller does not back out. Mayor Jewett.

lRersOnnel of the Convention.
The history Of his ratifying conven-
zion. called to assemble at high noon
might have been written a week ago
only as a personal achievement 1t Is
worth more than a passing notice.
1t isn't every political boss that can
gather around him to form the petals
of his own blossom two ex-United
States Senators. one Envoy Extraordin-
ary and Minister Plenipotentiary to n
ftreign cline. the only and greatest
After-dinLer talker and all-around social
expert. twelve Congressman. thirty or
forty State oficials, double that number
Of State officials. double that number
of State Senators and Representatives
and an army five hundred strong Of
politicians Of every hue, school and type.
Mr.. Platt has done so and his col
lection OF interesting figures. as seen In
the corridors Of the great hotels and on
the streets of the American Wiesbaden
.on the baimy morning that recalls the
departed June. forms an animated pic
ture fuli OF life and color. The best
known men in political life Of New York
are the central figures OF groups every
where.
Frank Hiscock. the Adonis OF Onon-
daga, one OF the big four. once the Beau
Brummel OF the United States Senate,
Is here. leaning against the railing OF
the broad balcony OF the States, where
the ladies promenade In their handsome
morning gowns to the music Of the band
stationed In the parlor.
Hiscock looks seedy. He Is growing
old. His participation in the wild talk
and shifting that go on around him is
perfunctory. He Is clearly out Of it--a
has-been.
Depevv "the Peach"
But here's ~the peach" OF them all,
Depew. the only one Of his species. lie
talks. listens and laughs to and at thir-
ty persons ir nalf as many seconds.
He hasn't any more to do with the real
delegat tions to the Convention than the
door-tender at Convention Hall. but
everybody thinks he has. and he is sat
isfied.
The Convention Hall.
The Convention Hall. which has been
rendered gay with drapngs OF bunting,

The platform itself was ready, the ex-
panded committee idea made ready for
the Coroner. and the contests settled in
advance. There remained nothing to do
Shsns the Convention met save Mr..
Fa2ts orders. and they were short and
decisive.
Dwight Lawrence. who Is an expert on
such matters. said at noon that the
whole show would be out of town by 3
o'clock p. NJ. Then the big hotels will
close up. and Saratoga. fair and fresh
rs maiden to-day. will get ready for
