clared nominated on the first ballot.
The vote stood: Roosevelt, 1853; Black.
2l8. The nomination was made
unanimous.
The convention was called TO or
der at 1925 by Congressman s. p.
Payne, temporary chairman, who
was applaudcd throughout his adj
dress. The mention OF McKinlcy's j
namc was followed by a long con-
tinued cheering, which was almost
impossible TO control. The conven-

nations, and j. Ryder Cady, of Hud
son, who nominated Gov. Black two
years ago, again performed the same
service.
Judge Cady finished amid tremen-
dous applause, his closing remarks
about Governor Blacks faithiuiness

siasm of the audience.
DEpEw NAMES ROOSEVELT.
At455 o'clock Chauncey M. De-
pew took the platform to nominate
Theodore Roosevelt. It was some
minutes before he could begin his
speech for the applause that ensued.
The portions OF his speech relating
to President Mckinley were received
with much applause and there was q
vigorous reception OF the tribute to
Governor Black. When Depew told
of the famous charge of the Rough
Riders and mentioned Col. Roose-
welt the audience went almost crazy.
When he bad reached a point in his
speech where he alluded to the nom
effect of Mauser bullets, two or three
men rushed down the aisle bearing a
big portrait of Col. Roosevelt in the
Rough Rider uniform. There was
three minute interruption and the
picture was taken to the stage and
set up. Depew finished at SIS amid
applause and almost psndemonium.
DEPEw DEFINES ISSUES.
Depew said in part: "Gentlemen:
Not since 1868 has the Republican
party met in convention when the
conditions of the country were so
interesting.
"The times require conservative
statesman. As lin l716 amp 1866,
we need architects and builders. We
baye but one school for their train
ing and education, and that school is
the Republican party. Our Repub
lican administration, upon which the
tremendous responsibility rests, must
have Republican congress for its
support in the next two years--years
Of transcendent Importance to our
futures. We, the delegates here as.
semblsd, have very serious duty
in so acting as to keep our old State
and her Congressional delegation. in
the Republican column. A protec.
tive tariff, the gold standard, retire
ment of the government from the
banking business, and State issues
are just as important now as ever.
| "The resistless logic of events
overcomes all other considerations
and impels me to present the name
as our candidate for Governor, ol
Theodore Roosevelt, Col. Roosevelt
has shown conspicuous ability in
public service for ten years. He
was soldier three months.
ROOSEVELT THE MAN.
1.-THE regiment of Rough Riders
was an riginal American suggestion
to demonstrate that patriotism aud
indomitable courage are common to
| all conditions of American life. The
| same great qualities are found under
| the SLOUGH hat of the cowboy and
the elegant imported tile of New
| York's gilded youth. Their man
nerisms are the veneers of the west
and east; their manhood isltho sanae,
Grant, with Appomatox and the
parole of honor to the Confederate
army behind him, stood for the per-
petuity of the Union. Mckinley by
his long and able advocacy OF its
principles, is the leading spirit fol
protection of American industries
For this year, for this crisis, for the
voters Of the Empire State, for the
young men of the country, and the
upward, onward trend Of the United
States, the candidate of candidates
is the hero of Santiago, the idol Of
the Rough Riders, Colonel Theo.

MADE UNANIMOUS
| Charles T. Saxton seconded the
nomination of Black. Assemblyman
Wallace, of Queens seconded the
nomination of Roosevelt. At 7:15
Secretary of State, Palmer, moved a
roll call. Before it got through the
New York delegation it was evident
that Roosevelt had practical walk
over, and at 1885 enough votes had
been cast to nominate him. At TAI
the vote was announced: Roosevelt,
1853; Black, 2lS.
| Then the auditors and delegates
arose and cheered. Judge Cady
got the floor and moved o unani-
nous nomition. While the question
was pending, Senator Krum, who
had supported Governor Black, said:
"On behalf Of Governor Black and
his friends, | say that they will
stand by Theodore Roosevelt as he
