addressed the convention. A mention

cheers. The speaker was interrupted
TO recommence when a voice in the
gallery shouted; "We will have Black
Or no mani" which expression called
forth another storm of applause. Ref
srence to the services of Senator Platt
at Washington was also the occasion
pf an outburst. At another period Of

voice In the rear Of the hall shouting:
1--WE must have BlackI" The various

RooseveIts Eligibility.
Elihu Root, who had not been sub
stituted as a delegate in the conven-

chairman and made statement as to
the eligibility of Mr. Roosevelt to hold
office. He said Mr.. Roosevelt had al

Washington. He had always paid
taxes in Oyster Bay and had merely re-

lawyer asking for some money and
paying that he had expended so much
money that he was beyond his income,
Mr.. Root said: "Mr. Roosevelt had ex-
