THE NEW YORK NOTE

st. Louis. June 1S--The divided vote
of New York claimed the attention of the
convention. The regulars had decided
that they would compel the anti-Platt
and Morton men to go on record and as
soon as the state was called, John G..
Raines arose and challenged the vote.
Amid combined cheers and Kisses the roll
call began. When the first district was
called Delegate Walker 7. Suydam was
absent and Joseph II. Newlins, his al
ternate, attempted to vote for Mckinley.
Raines immediately objected on the
ground that the first alternate ON the
roll of the district should cast the vote
The chair held that Mr.. Raines was right
but the first alternate left his seat and
made for the door. Abe Gruber saw
him and shouted eXcitely: Mr.. Chair
man, he is going out" but the call did
not stop him and he pushed through the
crowd to the door and Newlins voted
for Mckinley. When the vote was fin
ished it was found that there were sev-
enteen votes for Mckinley.
