the Rough Riders at San Juan the con-
vention arose to it's feet with a great
outbreak of demonstrative expression
The delegates stood in their place and
cheered.
The report of the committee on res

cided to proceed with the nominations.

took the platform to perform again the

enthusiasm of the audience.
At 4:55 o'clock Chauncey M. Depew
took the platform to nominate Theodore
Roosevelt. For some minutes Dr. Depew
could not begin his speech for the ap-
plause that ensued. Those portions of
his speech relating to President Nc
Kinley were received with much ap-
plause and there was a vigorous recep-
ton Of the tribute to Governor Black.
When Mr.. Depew told of the famous
charge Of the Rough Riders and men
toned Colonel Roosevelt the audience
went into almost hysterical enthusiasm.
When Mr.. Depew had reached the point
in his speech where he alluded to the
men rushed down the aisle bearing a

STOCKTON, Sept. 27.-The Standard
Electric Company of California, the
company organized by Prince. Ponia-

pose of conducting electricity from the
electrical works of the Blue Lakes
Water Company in Calaveras County

intermediate towns, will Immediately

distribute it's power throughout this

for both lights and power.

The intention is to continue the line
on to San Francisco. Rights of way
have already been secured from the
power works to San Francisco. The
line will cross the islands to Bethany
and then on through the Livermore
Valley to Oakland. In crossing the bay
a cable will be used, although there
has been some speculation as to
whether it would not be preferable to
use a suspended wire, utilizing the ISL
ands and shallow places where supports
could be placed.
Power will be furnished not only in
this city but in towns near the line, by
running branch wires to them from the
main one. Electricity will also be fur
nished on the islands for pumping
water for irrigation purposes.

The nomination was made unanimous

a recess until 8 p. m.
The night session was not called to

announced that the platform was ready

reading was frequently interspersed by

organized Democratic party of the ma
ton adheres to these policies of free silver
and free trade and denies the right of the
courts and of the Government to protect
persons and property from violence. On
the coming Sth of November we are to
elect not only our four State officers. but
also representative in Congress and mem
Pers OF our State Legislature. That
Legislature in its term will elect a
United States Senator to succeed the
present Democratic Senator from this
State. Democratic leaders declare they
will conduct this campaign upon State is
sues alone. But it is known that If the
Democratic party secures the State Legis-
lature 1t will re-elect to the United States
Senate that Democrat who now represents
bis party there and misrepresents the
state. That Senator supported the cause
OF free silver, supported the nominees of
the Chicago convention in the last Presi-
dental election; gave his vote in the Sen
ate Tor the heresies of that Chicago plat
form, and, If reelected, will continue to
support these hereSieS Democrats may
try to deceive the people by ignoring the
anarchlStic doctrines of that instrument in
their State platform. but their members of
Congress and their Senator, If they should
succeed in re-electing him, cannot and will
not ignore these doctrines at Washington.
We are ready to meet the Democrats
in all State issues, but in a larger sense
this campaign is national campaign,
and our people cannot escape its national
consequence. The election of Republi-
can members of Congress and of a Re-
publican State Legislature will mean
that New York shall stand for the main
tenance of the gold standard, and for
such a revision of the currency laws as
will guarantee to the labor of the coun-
try that every paper promise to pay a
dollar issued under the authority of the
United States shall be of absolute and
equal value with a gold dollar always
and everywhere.
The Republican party is fulfilling its
pledges made at st. Louis.
In the interests of American labor and
commerce we believe American products
should be carried in American ships, and
we favor the up-building of an American
merchant marine which will give us our
share in the carrying trade of the world
in time of peace and constitute an effec-
tive naval militia in time of war.
The platform commends the admin
istration of Governor Black, the work
of the Legislature and then deals with
purely State issues
The platform, having been adopted,
! the convention speedily made the bal
ance of the nominations. All but
Davies were nominated by acciama-
ton.

The day for the Republican conven-
ton to nominate a. full State ticket
opened bright and clear. All Of the
leaders were up and all reached head
quarters early and all said that there
was no change in the situation. The
Black men still said that their candi-
date would be placed before the con-
vention.
Between 10 and II o'clock a number
of special trains arrived, some. from
Troy, bearing Black banners and with
brass bands playing patriotic airs.
Every indication pointed to an I'M
usually large and very enthusiastic
convention. The fact that Elihu Roots
opinion as to Colonel Roosevelt's can
dfdacy would not be made public be-
fore the convention went into session
caused some comment. Abraham CRU
Der of the Black forces said at IL o'clock
that he would attempt on the floor of
the convention to compel the Roose-
Welt people to show their proofs of his
eligibility. The Roosevelt people
laughed at this and said that they were
prepared with an answer which Mr.
Root would present to the convention
If the question were raised by the
Black people.
The delegates were rather slow in en-
tering the convention hall. A banner
bearing a portrait Of Colonel Roosevelt
was carried in and was loudly. ap-
plauded. The ex-Minister to Spain,
Stewart l.. .Woouford, was greeted with
hearty applause. At 1874 Mr.. Platt en-
tered Somebody saw him as he came
through the door and started applause,
which finally became general.
AT 1925 Chairman Odell raped for
order and Rev s. d. Johnson of Sara
toga was asked to offer prayer. Follow
ing the prayer Louis f. Payne entered
with his delegation, passing Mr.. Platt
without recognition. The roll of dele
gates for Institutes and corrections
was called, and while it was being
called Lieutenant Governor Timtohy L.
Woodford entered the hall and was
greeted with the .heartiest cheer of the
day. the roll call having to be delayed
Mr. Platt had another ovation when
he arose to make a substitution in the
Tioga delegation.
Congressman Zerino e. Payne was
chosen temporary chairman and es-
corted to the platform. He made the
opening address. After referring to the
victory of the Republican party over
the Democratic-Popul combination
two years ago, he said:
Now. our friends and enemies tell US
that they have lost all interest IN national
paign upon State issues solely. They evil

@tional record. Having no decent decent record I'd

meet them on State issues If they desire.

nection with the Spanish war. criticiz-
ing the Democrats for their advancing

Depew closed amid applause that was
almost pandemonium.
Then Charles T. Saxton of Wayne
mounted the platform and seconded the
nomination of Governor Black Assem-
blyman Wallace of Queen seconded the
nomination of Roosevelt, Abraham
Gruber that of Governor Black and
George N. Southwick of Albany that of
Roosevelt.
Senator Lexow took the platform to
speak for Governor Black, but the au-
dience showed it's dissatisfaction at de-
lay by crying for the vote. He spoke
briefly.
Elihu Root was called to the platform
by the chairman, and made statement
as to the eligibility of Mr.. Roosevelt to
hold offiC~. He said Mr.. Roosevelt had
always voted in Oyster Bay, and had
merely removed his personal property
to Washington. He had always paid
taxes in Oyster Bay and had merely
refused to pay taxes on property he
was using in Washington, and by his
affidavit he merely said that he was
not resident of New York.
When Mr.. Root read a letter from Mr.
Roosevelt to his lawyer, asking for
some money, and saying that he had
beyond his income, Mr.. Root said:
"Mr. Roosevelt had expended that
L oney to raise the Rough Riders"
There was a great burst of applause,
and Mr.. Root closed by saying the doc
umentary proof not only showed that
he never had lost his residence, but

FOR A CYANIDE PLANT.


With view to looking into the prob
able cost OF a small cyanide plant, the
same to be erected in Cache Valley, at
a convenient point on Spring Creek in
Providence canyon, r. Hochstrasser
has come to Salt Lake. and is now lay
ing his plans before local mining men.
The gentleman Is an owner in the
Jennie mine In the locality mentioned.
his associates being William Palmer
and Hyrum Peterson, both of Logan.
The Jennie Is a cyanide proposition
and as its owners have received very
encouraging values therefrom. they
propose to put in a small plant and
commence mining on systematic
basis.
The Jennie. says Mr.. Hochstrasser,
has a good-sized body of ore from
which values of from 81 to 81 In gold
and silver have been realized. The
mine has n shaft fourteen feet in depth
and also produces vein matter running
s3.75 in gold and az ounces in silver to
the ton.
The same gentlemen have another
property called the Washington. which
lies little north of the Jennie and
from which equally good values have
been taken. This mine has a tunnel
1Is feet long and the values referred to
have been encountered in drifting.
This, too. is a cyanide proposition, and
