man be Heard

the Republican state convention were
early in reaching the hall, and by noon
there was u big gathering of prominent
men from all parts of the state prepared
to proceed with the work in hand When
Mr.. Platt entered the hall the entire as
semblage rose. The applause was deafen-
ing. Mr.. Platt's usual nervousness was
apparent, and when one Of the bands
played Hail to the Chief" he did not look
particularly pleased. As the applause sub
sided an enthusiastic spectator shouted
"Three cheers for Thomas c. Platt!" and
the call was answered with u will Mr..
Platt stopped to shake hands with Mr..
Hiscock, and then went to his seat.
Benjamin Odell in the absence of State
Chairman Huckett, called the convention
to order and Bishop Newman offered
prayer Congressman Frank Black was
selected for temporary chairman, He dis
cussed the financial issue and criticized
the Democratic platform. At the conclu-
sion of Chairman Blacks speech the usual
committees were named. The committee
on permanent organization met directly
after adjournment, and selected General
Stewart H. Woodford, of Brooklyn, as
permanent chairman of the convention.
The most interesting contest before the
credentials committee was that from Her
kimer between Titus Sheard, the sitting
delegate, and Warner Miller, the latter
accusing the FORMER of fraud, The COM
mittees report, making the temporary roll
permanent excluded Mr.. Miller from a
state convention for the first time in thirty
years.
When the convention reassembled the
report was presented Deputy Attorney
General Hasbrouck asked for division of
the question and separate vote on the
Oneida county case.
Then in the centre of the hall from the
Hcrkimer county seats came Warner
Miller. His face was full, and his lips
trcmbled as from parts of the hall came
cheers and from other parts misses and
yefls of derision. Get out, you don't be-
long here, you are traitor" etc, came
cries from the galleries Pandemonium
arose and the chairman's gavel was almost
useless to quelli it. Then Otto Irving Wise
of New York, made himself heard above
the din. Il object to Mr.. Miller speaking
He is not on the roll of the convention"
Then again the row arose. The galleries
yelled in dersion and again called names
The supporters of SaXton and Roberts
cheered as a challenge to this element, and
for a few minutes Mr.. Miller stood silent
in this storm of derision and applause.
