ROOSEVELT NOMINATED.
At 7:15 Secretary of State Palmer
moved a roll call. and the motion was
adopted. Before it got through the del
egation it was evident Mr.. Roosevelt
had a practical walkover, and at 1872
enough votes had been cast to nomi-
nate him. At TAI the roll call was
completed and the vote was announced,
as follows: Roosevelt, 1853; Black, 21S.
Then the auditors and the delegates
arose in q great mass and cheered.
Judge Cady got the floor and moved
the unanimous nomination. While the
question was pending. Senator Krum,
who had supported Governor BACK l1
said: ION behalf of Governor Black
and his friends. I say that they viii
stand by Theodore Roosevelt as he
stood by the country"
The nomination was made unani-
nous, and at T:46 o'clock the conven-
ton took a recess until p m. The
night session was not called TO order
until 9:45 o'clock. The chairman an
nounced that the platform was ready,
and General Woodford took the plat
form and read the resolution. The
reading was frequently interspersed
with applause, and when finished the
platform was adopted unanimously.
The platform congratulates the coun-
try upon the conclusion of the war
with Spain, praises the patriotic wis
dom, the patient courage and the broad
humanity which distinguished the con-
duct of President Mckinley during the
critical periods of diplomatic negotia
tons and battle, and which now guide
him in the restoration of peace"
Citizens of every state and every
party fought and won under his COM
mand," the resolutions continue. land
all lingering sectionalism was burned
out in the heat of battle.
After praising the splendid heroism
of the army and navy, the platform
says: I've have abiding confidence
that the president will conclude this
peace upon terms that will satisfy the
conscience. the judgment and the high
purpose of the American people. We
realize when the necessities of war
compelled our nation to destroy Span
ish authority in the Antilles and Phil
ippines, we assumed solemn duties and
obligations, alike to the people of the
islands we conquered and to the civil
lied world. We cannot turn these is
lands back to Spain. We cannot leave
them, unarmed for defense and untried
in Statecraft, to the horrors of domestic
strife, or to partition among European
powers. We have assumed the respon-
sibilities of victory, and wherever our
flag has gone, the liberty, the humanity
bodies must remain and abide forever.
The Republican party has been the
party of brave conservatism and of tri-
umphant faith in the nationality of this
people, and we know that the president
and statesmen and voters of the Re-
publican party will meet these issues
of the future as grdvely and tri-
of the past.
I'VE commend the annexation of
Hawaii in the interest of commerce, of
national security and national devel-
opment.
FREE SILVER ANARCHISTS.
I'VE renew our allegiance to the doc
trines Of the ST. Louis platform. We
continue to condemn and resist the
Democratic policies declared at Chi
cago. The organized Democratic party
of the nation adheres to these policies
of free silver and free trade, and de-
MES the right of the courts and OF the
government to protect persons and
property from violence On the coming
Sth of November we are to elect not
only our state officers, but also repre-
sentatiVes in congress and members of
our state legislature. That legislature
in its turn will elect a United States
senator TO succeed the present Demo-
cratic senator from this state. Demo-
cratic leaders declare they will conduct
this campaign upon state issues alone.
But it is known that if the Democratic
party secures the state legislature it
will re-elect to the United States SEN
ate that Democrat who now represents
his party there and misrepreSentS the
state. That senator supported the cause
of free silver, supported the nominees
of the Chicago convention in the last
election; gave his vote in
the senate for the heresieS of that Chi
Cago platform, and if reelected con-
tinue to support these heresies. Demo-
Gratis may try 10 deceive the people by
ignoring the anarchiStic doctrines OF
that instrument in their state platform,
but their members of congress and
their senator, if they should succeed in
re-electing him, cannot and will not
ignore these doctrines at Washington
We are ready to meet the Democrats in
all state issues, but in a larger sense
this campaign is a national campaign
and our people cannot escape it's ma
tional consequences. The election of
members of congress and
of Republican state Legislature, will
mean that New York shall stand for
the maintenance of the gold standard
and for such q 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 au-
thority of the United States shall be of |
absolute and equal value with a gold |
dollar always and everywhere"
The platform being adopted, the con-
vention speedily made the nominations |
as given in the foregoing. All but |
Davies were nominated by acclama- |
ton.
The following committee was APP |
pointed to be an advisory board for |
the state committee: Thomas c. Platt, |
Chauncey NJ. Depew, Frank Hiscock, |
Edward Lauterbach and Frank S. |
The old eagle emblem was re-adoDted |
for the party and the convention adj
lourned sine die.
