Endorses Governor Morton Her Man for
President of the United States.
NEW YORK, March 25.-The Republi-
can convention has finished its labors.
The preliminary sparring that has been
going on for weeks ended in the final
battle last night and the forces that have
been dominant for two years kept within
the state boundaries the honor of the
presidential Endorsement of the greatest
state In the Union, the state casting the
largest number of votes in the electoral
college, That Endorsement goes to Cover
nor Levi T. Morton. The delegates-at-
large will be Thomas 9. Platt of Tioga;
Warner Miller, of Herkimer; Chauncey
M Depew, of New York, and Edward
Lauterbach. The alternates will be Ham
ilton Fish, of Garrison; Frank S. Wither-
bee, of Port Henry; @. III. Babcock, of
Rochester, and Daniel Mcmillan, of Buff
falo. The electors-at-large will be Gen
eral Benjamin +. Tracey, of New York,
and Edward III. Butler, OF Buffalo.
The platform adopted stands for pro-
lection and reciprocity and says of silver:
"The agitation for tho free coinage Of sill
yer at the ratio of 10 to seriously dis
turbs all industrial interests and calls for
a clear statement of the Republican atti-
tude upon this question to the end that
the trade of this country at home and
abroad may again be placed upon sound
and stable foundation. We recognize in
the movement for the free coinage Of sill
yer an attempt to degrade the long estab-
lished standard of our monetary system,
and hence q blow TO public and private
credit Mt once costly to the national gov
eminent and harmful to our domestic and
foreign commerce Until there Is pros.
spect of international agreement as to sill
YER coinage, and while gold remains the
standard of the United States and Of the
civilized world, the Republican party of
New York declares itself In favor of the
firm and honorable maintenance Of that
standard"
After giving standard Republican dec
laration on the national issues the plat
form says: ION this platform we present
Governor Levi Parsons Morton rs New
York's candidate for president. He is in
every way fit for the high honor and he is
peculiarly the man for the hour" Then
the governors public services are detailed
briefly and with eulogium, and he Is de-
clared the candidate for president of the
New York Republicans.
There was but one attempt by the Nc
Kinlcy men to obtain recognition. When
the report on delegates-at-large was read
q minority report was presented proposing
two Mckinley delegates instead OF Platt
and Lauterbach and recommending to
delegates that IF It appear after the first
ballot that Hon. Levi p. Morton cannot
he the choice OF the national convention
that the delegates-at-largo from this state
will use all honorable means'to promote
the cause of William Mckinley.
This raised pandemonium, but order
was restored and the minority report
showed under by vote OF 63l TO 100, and
amid loud cries Of Morton" Morton
as well as cheers for Mckinley.

THE LIBRARY SITE.

solving to apply for the reservoir property on
Fifth-ave as the site for the building which Will
ultimately contain the united Tilden, Lcnox and
AstOr collections. Next 10 the original task OF
combining those properties in an organic whole.
the selection Of a site for the resulting instit,i-
ton was the most urgent, and perhaps also the
most difficult, problem which confronted the
public spirited citizens in charge OF this great
enterprise They have taken ample time for
deberation, have doubtless considered the mat
ter from every point OF view, and are prepared
TO Justify their choice Their Judgment would
in any case be entitled to high respect, whatever
way It inclined, but the decision which they have
inst announced seems 10 us to accord with com
mon sense, and 1t Is certainly in conformity with
strongly expressed and apparently prevalent
desire. Soon after the consolidation agreement
had been legalized, and the dream OF great
public library In this city was seen TO be In
process Of fulnlmcnt, public opinion as 10 lis
location began to find free expression in the
press and elsewhere. From this animated and,
on the whole, intelligent debate we gathered
the impression that the reservoir site was more
generally favored than any other and we shall
be surprised II that impression IS not confirmed
| by the discussion which Is sure to follow the
| trustees announcement
| AS we said at that time, geographical consid-
erations and the customs and conditions Of life
In New-YOrk narrow the range OF choice. Above
Fifty -ninth-st Central Park divides the city into
sections which are not likely to be brought at
any time hereafter within reach Of one another,
and II the library is not to be established north
Of the Park we think 1t ought to be established
south Of 1t rather than on either side. Doubt
less a vast population will ultimately live above
but that Is not a con-
trolling factor III the case SO far as 1t Is DOS
