Senator Horace White of Syracuse was
chosen permanent chairman.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tions was called for, but Gen. Woodford,
chairman of that committee. was not pres
ent to present it. The original draft of the

decided to proceed with nominations, and

Gov. Black two years ago, took the plat
form to perform again the same service.
Mr. Cady was frequently interrupted with
applause.

the platform to nominate Theodore Roose-
welt. For some minutes DR.. Depew could
not begin his speech for the applause that
arose. Finally quiet was restored, and
