lacked Miller IN a vigorous and most !
vicious manner. He said in part: Mil
Ter knows that Plat and Depew are
at this time working in harmony and
he takes this peanut policy as a chance
to try to make discord. The instruc-
tons of the last Republican conven-
ton in New York are open to doubt
and suspicion
Before Miller could answer Quigg,
Frederick S. Gibbs moved that the del
egation take a recess until O'Clock
this afternoon. Gibbs characterized
Miller as chronic kicker and
washer of dirty linen and political
outcast." Miller was not allowed to
respond but recess was taken until
O'Clock.
MILLER CRITICIZED.
Shortly after o'clock the New York
delegation met again and at once Mr..
Sutherland made motion for the ad-
mission of the press. This was car
RED
Mr.. Lauterbach obtained the floor
and criticized the action of Mr. Miller
in the morning and proceeded to say
thae while it was conceded that there
would not be any use in carrying to the
committee on credentials and conYen-
ton the seating of the anti-Morton
delegates, still he thought that the
delegation should enter a protest
against the seating of these delegates
by the national committee He thought
the unseated delegates should be al
lowed TO vote on this question
General McCook, one of these anti
Morton delegates, objected and made
A HEATED ARGUMENT
in favor of his own right in the prem
Uses. The matter was noted on the
minutes. Then Mr.. DeDew made a
brief statement He said:
Il nave no desire to occupy any
other place in this body or to have any
other honor except that of presenting
the name of Governor Morton. NY
friend Mr.. Miller, has made a mis-
take in misconstruing my answer to his
remarks made to me about being chair
man of the meeting. l will not stand
for chairman unless my election is
unanimous.
MI Miller arose and stated: Il did
ask Mr. Depew if he would accept this
nomination and he answered yes, and
since the meeting this morning he
again assured me that he would ac-
cept. l stand here to repudiate the
leadership of the man who has de-
clared that Mckinley is unfit for the
office of president. l cannot stand IN
: der his banner. I cannot go silently
forward with the world pointing its
finger at me and saying How can you
vote for man whose ability you have
questioned
II regret, Mr.. Chairman, that you
will not accepe the Office. l., for one,
will not follow the leadership of Pla;tt"
Mr.. Thurlow Weed Barnes then,
standing directly in front of Miller,
talked at him in some of the
MOST VIOLENT LANGUAGE
J that has been heard, while the ma
jority of the delegates applauded.
/ This man. he said, who was
elected to represent the state of New
York as preferring the candidacy of
Levi P. Morton has turned over to
William Mckinley. Why, who is the
traitor?"
(Cries of Miller, Miller.'')
What is the issue? Why, it is Mil
! Ter against Platt and that alone. The
people do not want to follow traitor S

General McCook strove to break into
the affair by moving co proceed with
the vote Miller tried to get him tc
not withdraw Depew's name, but he
insisted and named Warner Miller.
That's the issue. That's tia trail
tor against a Republican" shouted
Delegate Aldridge.
Then Senator John Raines arose anI
in scathing terms denounced Miller
He said:
Nov the gentleman has placed him
self in the position he coveted. Shall
we choose a Republican or a. kicker
A CHRONIC KICKER FROM HER
KIMER;

or any party? That is the issue.
hurl back into the Herkimer states
mans teeth the statement that Mr.
Platt has maligned Mr.. Mckinley
When election time comes and New
York Republicans cast their votes TO
president, whether he be Morton O
Mckinley, he will get Mr.. Platts sup

publicans, but he cam never rely upol

His name will go down to ignominy.
The roll-call began and some of tn
delegates explained their votes. MI
Sutherland said:

Thomas C. Platt, instead of one c
his enemies"

to make the nomination unanimou:
but Mr.. Matthews of Buffalo objected
Then Abraham Bruber stirred up tn
: row again by offering a resolution

result: Ayes, IS; noes, 10; not voting,
