The day for the convention to nomi-
nate full State ticket opened bright
and clear. All of the leaders were up,
and all reached headquarters early, and
all said that there was no change in
the situation. Between 10 and II
o'clock a number of special trains ar
! rived, some from Troy bearing Black
| banners, and with brass bands playing
patriotic airs. Every indication point
ed to an unusually large and very en-
| thusiastic convention
| The delegates We're rather slow in
entering the convention hall. A BAN
ner bearing portrait Of Colonel Roose-
welt was carried into the hall, and was
loudly applauded.
The x-Minister to Spain, Stewart l..
Woodford, was greeted with hearty ap-
plause.
At 12:14 Mr.. Platt entered the hall.
Somebody saw him as he came through
| the door, and started the applause,
which finally became general
| At precisely 1925 Chairman Odell
raped for order, and Rev. S. D. Jonn-
son of Saratoga was asked to offer
prayer.
| Following the prayer, Louis F. Payne
entered with his delegation, passing
Mr.. Platt without recognition.
The roll of delegates for substitutes
and corrections was called.
! While it was being called, Lieuten-
ant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff en-
tered 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 addressed
the convention. After referring to the
victory of the Republican party over
| the Populist combination
two years ago, he said:
Now, our friends, the enemy, tell us
that they have lost all interest in na-
tional affairs. They propose to make
a campaign upon State issues solely.
They evidently fear to face the people
on their national record. Having no
| decent record on State affairs they are
willing to go before the people on that
issue We will meet them on State is
sues if they desire. We shirk no re-
sponsibility. If mistakes have been
made, a Republican Executive will be
satisfied to correct them. But we VIII
not permit these matters to overshadow
the paramount national questions that
are before US. They say there are no
national issues. No national issues?
| Why, we are to elect a United States
| Senator and thirty-four Representa-
| tives in Congress who will deal with
questions as important as any that
ever received the attention of the ma
tional Congress. The next Congress
must deal with the question of our tar
| iff and internal revenues. Our new
possessions will disturb our tariff rev.
enues. A large portion of the in
| erased receipts from the war revenue
bill will become unnecessary. These
matters must all be revised, and ex-
perience has taught the people by the
severest lessons that this can only be
safely done by the Republican party
THE Teller resolution declared that
all our national obligations, both bonds
and greenbacks. were payable in sill
yer dollars. It's avowed purpose Is 20
make appreciated 16 to 1 silver dollars
legal tender in discharge for national
| obligations. and to pave the way for
unlimited coinage of these dollars.
| This resolution passed the Senate by
a large majority, and was defeated in
the House by the Republicans. It is
unnecessary to say that the Demo-
cratic Senator and every Democratic
Representative from New York were
recorded in favor Of this proposition,
while the Republican Senator and every
Republican Representative were re-
corded against it.
1t is in vain for the Democratic Sem
ator's convention, which meets in SYRIA
l
no national issues involved He HIM
self is a national issue in this election,
and we propose to settle the national
issue in favor of national honor and
| honest money"
| Mr. Payne recited the events in con-
nection with the Spanish war, CRITICS.
| ing the Democrats for their advancing
an income tax proposition to raise rev.
enue for war expenses, and continued
as follows:
THE President knew at the begin
ming, as the country now knows. how
unprepared we were for war We had
| a navy which any nation might envy.
We had only the skeleton of an army
!, To properly equip and organize an
army of 100000 men and to place them
in the field in ninety days is tremen-
dous undertaking. Mistakes have un-
doubtedly been made. Officers and men
lhave overlooked the necessity for sani-
/ tary regulations. We would have glad
lly postponed the war until the autumn.
