About the Platform Declarations.
The platform is a regular Republican
and gold standard declaration. 1t in
porses the war and favors the retention
Of all conquered territory. The annexa-
ton of Hawaii is commended. On
finances it says: 1--WE renew our al
iegiance to the doctrines of the st. Louis
platform. We continue to condemn and
resist the Democratic policies declared
at Chicago. The organized Democratic
party of the nation 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.
| The election of Republican members of
congress and Of Republican state leg
| lslature will mean that New York shall
| stand for the maintenance of the gold
| standard and for such a revision Of the
currency laws as will guarantee to the
|. labor of the country 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.
Question of Roosevelt's Residence.
The convention was harmony person
ified Plat was wildly cheered. Payne
| was temporary and Horace White per-
| manent chairman. When Roose-
Welt had been nominated by Chauncey
M. DePew, Elihu Root rose and made q
statement as to the eligibility of Roose-
welt to hold office. He said Roosevelt
| had always voted in Oyster Bay and
had merely removed 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
a resident of New York. Root read a
| letter from Roosevelt to his lawyer ask
ing for some money. and saying that he
had expended so much money that he
was beyond his income, Root said:
"Mr. Roosevelt had expended that mon
| ey to raise the Rough Riders" There
was a great burst of applause and then
Root closed by saying that the docu-
mentary proof not only showed that
| he never had lost his residence, but
rather had paid money that he was not
obliged to pay to retain it,
| "Teddy" Had Walk-Over.
| Governor Black was nominated by
| j. Rider Cady, of Hudson There were
several seconding speeches. At 7:15 p.
| m. the roll call on governor was be-
| gun Before 1t got through the New
| York delegation II was evident that
| Roosevelt had a practical walk-over,
and at 1886 enough votes had been cast
| to nominate him. At 7:41 the roll call
was completed and the vote was an
| nounced as follows: Roosevelt, 1853;
| Black, 21S. Then the auditors and the
delegates rose in a great mass and
cheered. Judge Cady got the floor and
moved the unanimous nomination.
